So your coding is not tarot-complete. How do you deal with the cases that require that?

We are not scared easily. But I can imagine what the comments were like. As to your question about the motivation, do you know about Stockholm Syndrome? That can explain an awful lot, together with the sunken cost syndrome.

Is there still some things on topic to come?

And all these proponents of AI forget one thing, one thing that Henry Ford had understood. AI bots don't buy whatever you offer.

Judging from the news, they would lie like a carpet that the cause is their neighbor (sorry bob) and that you should eat your cats and dogs. Judging from what is currently happening in response to the current admin, I'd say those 300+ million will mostly swallow that hook, line, sinker, rod and...

As long as you don't put all eggs into one basket... Also, radioactive decay is not as random as you might want it to be.

Given things like rowhammer, not even the hardware is too sure what memory it is to touch and which not. We can make stuff hard and harder, but 100% is off the menu.

Is that still acute? And was it also active on FreeBSD?

I used to run swap on ZVOL for some years, without ill effects. And I had 4GB of RAM and build from source, ran memory hungry software, ... What made me stop was that swap on ZVOL does not work with kernel core dumps, they will not get written. As I was doing some driver development then, I had...

Re all the inventions: what is the inventor of the steam engine without the inventor of the safety valve?

Which is a sub category of beer, but enough of this in this dry place. We shall continue that discussion over the corpus delicti in question. To the foreign readers, when you want to see what is worse than two rednecks arguing football/baseball/... - that is two germans arguing beer.

+1 for independent movies. If you are into it, check out "The Gamers", its also on YT.

Egypt and Mesopotania want a word with that. The first laws about what can go into beer are, if I remember correctly, in the codex hamurabi. And Egypt had beer for who knows how long. Something must have been in play when they build the pyramids. Also a new network protocol, as the time delay...

Farest east? You should get a recent map. Things have been happening... And you seem to have a coffee insufficiency right now. I used your joke as a start ramp for another one. Hope I need not explain...;)

Yeah, you won't have enough neurons left after that. Bad POSIX. BAD.

Yes, it's in the news, but that's it. We have such an awful lot of them, you can't shake a stick at them all... We had that a long time before, but we had reigned it in somewhat to the point we had workers rights and pensions by then, introduced by some extreme left lunatic by the name of...

You want to change the installed software based upon some profile? If you plan to do this on a per-user basis we need some explaination how this shall fly in a Multi-User system.

There is a lot of abuse in the system, in all directions. While there are (a lot) of cases which are misguided, there are also cases where this is the correct way. The question is where you draw the line, this is a spectrum. And even when I personally don't get why single cases do this, I can...

TheRegister has an xray of some Id=10t going to such an appointment having an "all silicon" toy where the sun don't shine. Turned out to have a steel core. Now THAT will ruin your day.

Believe me, seeing that first hand tops it. When you can tell from the shape of the blister what the picture was...
