> Perl has a painful syntax, Python greatly improves on this with easy syntax.

That's a matter of opinion. C style languages are a lot easier for me than whitespace significant languages; my editor will go to the matching bracket with ^G, but I can't do that with whitespace to get to the end of a block. The type sigils are a bit tricky to figure out, but if you spend the time to understand it, it makes sense (but that's also a mater of opinion, too).
I think there has been plenty of (unjustified) scandal around Harry and Meghan, to a far lesser degree Kate, and as you said Andrew.

> An English teacher in high school witnessed her friend jump to her death from a balcony after taking LSD. The woman said she felt light as a bird, took off running, hopped up a chair and dove over the railing to the pavement 20 feet below. She broke her neck.

What behavior could be prosecuted here except for giving someone LSD without supervision?
I have lived in San Anselmo for close to 20 years and it is chock-full of self-absorbed people like this with too much money.

They are not stupid -- they just took a "calculated" risk that they could pull this off.

I guarantee if they consulted a lawyer beforehand they would have been told there was very high risk of rejection of the plan.

This is just their "Hail Mary" attempt at still being able to get what they want and preserve / protect their risky investment choice.
> You're not addressing the problem proposed in the parent's argument - that lobbyists will be the ones who will use this, to ensure that the politicians they bought and paid for are doing what they want.

That's not a problem, despite the characterization. That's a helpful side-effect. Now you have more definitive traceability.
The linked reported "massive overdose from the 70's case" is also fairly bogus, in my opinion. Look deeper in the report and see the serum levels quoted and one of the highest of one of 7 patients recorded was 26ng/ml? That's effectively like taking 6-7 hits of LSD at approximate dosage of 200 microgram per dose. So what's "massive," and what does that mean then, if that person was comatose off only 6 medium sized doses of LSD, right? That is not anywhere near hundreds of doses.
Homer Simpson was friends with Gerald Ford, toured with the Smashing Pumpkins, and he's even been to space. I bet he has some pretty cool stories.
Hey, this is a thing I did at a movie theater in Le Mars, Iowa, population 10K or so.

I loved coming in after school to assemble the film on the large reels used for the projectors from the small reels used for shipping. It meant I was the first person to touch new releases, which was a cool feeling for a high schooler who loved movies but was a million miles from Hollywood.

Part of that process was to etch cue marks into the film at the end of reel 1 so that projectionists would know when to fire up and then switch to projector 2. Sometimes I kept a few frames from the head or tail as a secret memento of films I loved.

The movie theater projectors used giant xenon lamps. When they died and had to be changed, one had to be very careful because they exploded real good.

There was also a drive-in theater, powered by an absolute beast of a carbon arc projector. They were rare enough at the time that almost nobody knew how to run and maintain them — I was trained by a transient Hell's Angel who enjoyed sharing his erotic poetry. The arc itself was so improbably bright that it was like like looking into the soul of a god.
Maybe they're getting bought?
Early the following year, K. S. Srinivasan, a student at Madras Christian College who'd known Ramanujan back in Kumbakonam, dropped by to see him at Summer House. "Ramanujan," he said, "they call you a genius."
Hardly a genius, replied Ramanujan, "Look at my elbow. That will tell
you the story." It was rough, dirty, and black. Working from his large
slate, he found the quick flip between writing hand and erasing elbow a
lot faster, when he was caught up in the throes of his work, than reaching
for a rag. "My elbow is making a genius of me," he said.
Why, Srinivasan asked, didn't he just use paper? Can't afford it, replied Ramanujan. He was getting money from Ramachandra Rao. But that only went so far. Paper? He'd need four reams of it a month.

From Robert Kanigel's The Man Who Knew Infinity [0].

My understanding is that Ramanujan did most of his derivations on slate and tended to preserve only the results on paper. His insight was tremendous, but it was backed up by a tremendous amount of elbow work.

prepare to shift your paradigm then. It's anachronistic because there hasn't been a King for such a long time due to QEII's epic reign so it's not part of our vocabulary, but nevertheless, Britain is getting Kings in the 21st Century, because Charles will likely be followed by William and then Louis.

I took this more as Steve writing a reminder to himself of the debt he owes to society. Almost the entire basis of his success isn't because of his own work or innovation.

I imagine sometimes this is hard to keep in perspective if you're rich, famous, going down in history as an innovator, and have quite the ego.

Well there was a power brown out and that killed the basic automation on the machines that would close a dowser when the film stopped. So the film stopped but the dowser stayed open and the bulb burned through. And for good measure that exact same thing happened on 2 machines at the same time. I believe I was heard in a screen as I responded to the situation with something like "For F*k sake" while restarting the other screens before having to splice the 2 burned films.

To clarify these machines were platter fed so no changing reels. The dowser was used to light the bulb while the leader was still running through but not to be on-screen.

The duplexes near me sell for less than the SFHs one street over. It's a bit of a worst-of-both-worlds, it seems, compared to either owning a 4+ unit building or a standalone house.

One will see if the backyard ADU end up in a similar situation over time or if the larger "main unit" gives them more value. With duplexes where both units are rentals, there's also probably a bit of a "neither of these are receiving significant owner upgrades" factor compared to an owner-occupied home.
yeah, they were trying to shake off the $1/mo subscribers, they thought they were surplus.

I would recommend to first introduce her to softwares that available both on Windows and Linux, such as Only Office, GIMP, Chromium, VLC, and let her use it on Windows for awhile. After that, give her Linux Mint or Zorin OS and install the same softwares there, those 2 OSes have a very similar layout with Windows and very popular.
This is clearly clueless

In Russia all state employees, say school teachers, are told to vote the right way under no uncertain terms. But come the election day, and it is not physically possible to inspect what everyone is doing with paper ballots.

I remember having a Xenon lamp weld itself into the holder which was also the cathode connection. All because someone didn't tighten a grub screw which ment that the gap between the thread on the screw in end welded themselves to the nut mount the lamp screwed into.

That’s a pretty wildly inaccurate guess given I bought that MacBook Air when I was in poverty. It was my life savings at the time.

It’s a matter of efficiency, somebody pays for all those ram slots to get made and the electricity to power them. Now that computer memory is growing generation over generation at a slower rate, and now that other sources of power waste have been eliminated, I reckon there’s less and less reason to go with slots.

It is a shame that this allows vendors to charge non-market prices for products but the problem I have is that this has become peoples main argument to preserve slotted memory. It’s an objectively inferior technology for mobile devices we use so we can pay market prices for memory. Realistically though, slotted memory is doomed if the only argument for it, since manufacturers have every incentive to stop offering the option of slots. Even if they wanted to offer a customer competitive market prices for memory there’s little reason they couldn’t do that with soldered memory.

Let's assume for a moment that $0.05 is still a good price for newspapers, and assume that the carrier received 20%, or a penny apiece. Also assume that he delivers every day. That's about 580 papers day. If they're really dense subscribers, I guess you could make a delivery every 10 seconds, so about 95 minutes to deliver that number if you never wait for an elevator, climb stairs, etc.

Certainly was a great opportunity for Warren, but an outlier for paper delivery earnings.

I'm not sure if that's what it says. The way I read it "could care less" was used in the 1800s but with the negation in another part of the sentence. Modern usage simply omits it.

Sometimes people are trying to expose you to things you wouldn't necessarily consider yourself.

I'm saying it's utterly inappropriate to judge their relationship and his post based on that assumption.

It's entirely fair to ask a partner to try new things - and it's NOT fucking malicious. It can be - if you do it all the time and it's not reciprocal - but it can also be a fantastic way to bond, try new things, and have new experiences. Or it can be a minor annoyance tolerated because they enjoy other aspects of each other.

To assume otherwise... is frankly a juvenile approach to relationships. Basically - you don't get to determine how they interact, and it's up to him (and his wife) to determine if this interaction is appropriate, enjoyed, or hated. It can be any of the above, and nothing in the post hints either way.

Would you think it condescending and a jerk move to ask someone to try a new food? Or a new book? Or a song from a genre of music they don't like?

Nobody complaining about Perl's syntax is complaining about the "C style".

> The issue with unikernels and things like Firecracker are that you can't run them on already-virtualized platforms

I'm not sure about Firecrackers and it has to be enabled on the platform level but there are tricks you can use to run pseudo-nested VMs that look like they are nested without actually incurring into any nested virtualization overhead. This is something that some of us (crosvm) are exploring and playing around with a virtio-vhost-user (VVU) [0] proxy to basically set up a "sibling" (not nested) VM that runs its virtio device drivers into another VM without incurring into nested virtualization issues.

Firecrackers being originally based on a fork of crosvm might even benefit from this if they ever decide to play around this space, but also it'd need to be enabled on the platform level.

It's funny seeing stuff like a VVU implementation of vhost-vsock effectively run on a second VM and provide what seems to be a nested virtualization environment between two completely separate VMs. You get funky stuff like the other sibling VM's host address (cid = 2) becomes a non-parent VM so it looks 100% like a nested VM without nested virtualization performance hits.
