Did they cover the part about how Biden’s DOJ had absolutely no fucking excuse to take that long to prosecute?

The options now seem to be basically either 1941 Germany or 476 Rome.

Considering Secretary Brain Worms, 1958 China and 1975 Cambodia seem increasingly on the table, too.

To be fair, it has occasionally taken a very long time to choose the next Pope, which is how they ended up with the tradition of locking the cardinals up together and not letting them out until they’d made a decision in the first place.

GNU HURD.

Marketing is just a euphemism for propaganda. I avoid all of it as much as possible.

Wait, is this supposed to be a “good” thing? I was under the impression that those Venezuelans were in the US in the first place because they were refugees fleeing persecution; handing them right back to their persecutors seems like it has the potential to be even worse for them than CECOT was.

Whatever you end up doing, OP, you owe us a pic or video of the result!

It’s neat that that service exists, but you can also call up local arborist companies and ask, or wait until one is chipping a bunch of debris at a neighbor’s house and ask the truck driver in person.

For those situations, there’s 917, 1447, and probably some others.

Double-hung windows are probably the most common type in US single-family houses.

If Walz is even the slightest bit responsible for what happened, it’s because he wasn’t aggressive enough.

Without an effective EPA, ecoterrorism becomes self-defense.

He couldn’t have been arrested for copyright infringement; that offense was perpetrated by the entity that sold the thing to him, not himself.

It’s always projection.

high resolution, high bitrate video files are pretty large.

Can it actually transfer data fast enough to save or play them back in real-time, though?

That’s a use-case for a fuckton of total capacity, but not necessarily a fuckton of per-drive capacity. I think what the grandparent comment is really trying to say is that the capacity has so vastly outstripped mechanical-disk data transfer speed that it’s hard to actually make use of it all.

For example, let’s say you have these running in a RAID 5 array, and one of the drives fails and you have to swap it out. At 190MB/s max sustained transfer rate (figure for a 28TB Seagate Exos; I assume this new one is similar), you’re talking about over two days just to copy over the parity information and get the array out of degraded mode! At some point these big drives stop being suitable for that use-case just because the vulnerability window is so large that the risk of a second drive failure causing data loss is too great.

I’ve got some bad news about the quality of your neighbors.

Delorean built his cars in Northern Ireland during the Troubles while also smuggling drugs to try to keep the company solvent, and he still managed to produce a better vehicle than Musk did. At least Delorean managed to pick a stainless steel alloy that was actually stainless!

We could have had Scheme or Python (both of which are also cross-platform, BTW) embedded in the browser instead. And yes, Netscape was seriously considering those two specific languages before Eich oozed into the situation and fucked it all up.

Javascript did not “need” to happen. The only reasons it exists are Not-Invented-Here and Dunning-Kruger Syndromes (specifically, Netscape wanting something new and vaguely Algol-like that they could name to glom onto the Java hype at the time, and Eich having the inexperience and hubris to think he could hack together a half-assed design in a week and it would somehow turn out okay).

Yes it’s grown out of something that was originally messy, but a lot of work has been done to make it better.

Yeah, no shit! Literally millions upon millions of man-hours, probably! Do you have any concept at all of how much better the Web could have been if all that effort had been put towards something actually useful instead of working around Eich’s mistakes?!

“Respect” for you as the user means you shouldn’t have to do stuff like that in the first place.
