I’m on ml and it seems pretty general. It has a bit more fringe contingent than world, but everything else is there too.

It’s something of a “14 competing standards” situation, but uv seems to be the nerd favourite these days.

NZ reversed that ban 1 year after announcing it and decades before it would have gone into effect.

Those used to be called coffee shops, though now they are likely virus spreaders.

This is about installing on a Nexus 5 which is from 2013. Sounds painful.

NK already has missile tech, just not clear whether it has real intercontinental range. The US and Russia did that in the 1950s though.

nuke delivery stuff

That’s what space tech means, I thought.

Does gnu bc have outstanding bug reports? If not, it doesn’t need updates. Its spec was frozen 30 years ago, more or less. Rather than unmaintained, I’d call it maintenance-free. BIFL software as it were. Sounds great to me.

Seems like a whine, bc is an interactive tool and it’s unusual to use it for anything where its response isn’t instant.

GNU bc is one of the oldest GNU tools and it uses an MP library that RMS banged out in an afternoon or two, I think. It could probably be adapted to use GMP which is very high performance.

Preferring GPL to other licenses seems fine with me, unless I want to work for Amazon without getting paid.

I use autotools and don’t remember having such issues.

If there are 1000s of people there for a parade, why not just have an impromptu one? Those are the best anyway.

I’ll see if I can re-read your original post in the next day or so.

Basically the variables like “greeting” in the program occupy memory locations, like “location 3”. Symbol resolution is when the compiler sees a name and figures out the associated location. Normally that is done with something like a Python dictionary (in the old days you’d have to implement the dictionary yourself, which was an exercise in its own right).

Slightly complicating the python example, there can be local and global variables in separate locations but with the same name. So the compiler has to figure out from context which one you meant. That too is an exercise.

Remote file system then?

It’s a wealth tax and not an income tax? Interesting. Is it annual, or just once, or what?

I just manually push and it’s fine. Or as the other commenter says, use a single remote machine.

should I completely jumpship to linux when windows 10 ends support

Nah, there’s no need to wait.

Things just weren’t like that then. Otherwise all PC peripherals would be locked down too, so no device drivers. That was already a problem with cheap windows crap. But the better stuff was documented.

Maybe there would be no Linux but that isn’t as bad as it sounds, since BSD Unix was being pried loose at the time, plus there were other kernels that had potential. And the consumer PCs we use now weren’t really foreseen. We expected to run on workstation class hardware that was more serious (though more expensive) than PCs were at the time. They would have stayed less locked down.

Asded: PCs were an interesting target because there was a de facto open hardware standard, making the “PC compatible” industry possible. So again, without that, we would have used different hardware.

Thinkpad Yoga?
