You CLEARLY have never been to Wisconsin or the Upper Peninsula in summer.

Remember that Wright told HotR owner/designer Alex Jordon that he wouldn't hire him to design a chicken coop. You are correct; both should be visited. However, get ready for monotony at HotR. Room after room after room of Jordan's curiosity collection.

Having visited multiple Wright buildings, I must say this: no photograph or video will EVER do it justice. The man was a master of light. Wright buildings MUST be visited in person to experience this. You will FEEL it.

Similar to the Second Law of Thermodynamics which states entropy tends to increase over time in a closed system, I propose the Nth Law of Privatization: enshitification tends to increase with market capitalization/share over time.

KEEP. JOHNNIE'S. SECRET. Lines are long enough as it is. We don't need tourists messing it up. Signed, -Mont Clare resident

Hey! I live in Galewood! OK, Mont Clare really. But you would not be wrong in either case. People see/hear about Chicago (the city, not burbs) and think it is just deep dish, The Bean, and crime. But out here in the bungalow belt, it is working class schlubs just living quiet lives. Aka, the REAL Chicago. If you want a better picture, look up "Blues Brothers Mrs. Tarantino". Yes, I know that's Cicero, but close enough. If you drove that street today, nearly 50 years later, you'd think no time has passed at all.

As a Yocto enthusiast, I am curious as to how much elapsed realtime would be needed for a clean Yocto build. Yocto is thread heavy, so with 288, it oughta be good.

I'd like to believe that Silicon Valley mgmt is Pro-Trump in the same way that Oskar Schindler was "pro Nazi". You may not personally like who is in office, but you pretend to in order to survive.

2 things to think about here: 1. Coding is just one phase of the software development life cycle (SDLC). We still have to gather requirements, design, test, release, and most importantly maintain. I was taught, albeit years ago, that code spends most of its life in maintenance and that is the phase where the most money is spent. 2. Keep in mind Amdahl's law. The limit of software cost as coding cost approaches zero is the cost of the other phases of the SDLC. Apologies to Amdahl for the cheap, dirty bastardization.

When I began work at my last company, we all had to badge in to get in the parking lot, where there was 6 lanes 6-10a and just 2 other times. We also had to pass through 1 of 4 turnstyles, and we were subject to bag inspection going both in and out. We were trained to NEVER leave my badge in an unguarded location (ie my locked car at home, at lunch, etc). We were also trained to NOT display our badges off campus, especially when travelling. This made me make DAMN SURE I knew where my badge was at at times. Same hook in the closet. When walking OUT through the turnstyle, I usually either put it in my bag if I had one, tucked into my shirt pocket, or just tucked under my shirt.

I'm going to wager the risk of corporal punishment is a significant deterrant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caning_in_Singapore https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caning_of_Michael_Fay Not coincidentally, Singapore has one of the lowest recidivism rates globally. https://www.sps.gov.sg/files/annual%20reports/Press_Release_...

"The problem? I don’t own any RISC-V hardware." Seems like a YOU problem. There is PLENTY of affordable (< 200 USD) RISC-V Orange Pi RV2 boards available for immediate shipment. http://www.orangepi.org/html/hardWare/computerAndMicrocontro... Shoot, if you are testing LOTS of architectures, then get a FPGA dev board and test away. I can't testify about the availability of a IBM 360 open source firmware design, but I know for a fact that Xilinx makes RISC-V available.

I'm glad to see there is a "Beyond the Code" section that discusses comments. Here's what I typically told my students in Intro to Programming" Good comments lend insight into the code. Reading the code itself tells you the what. Comments should explain the why. Comments like "i+=1; /* Increment i */" are of little value. However comments such as "We increment i mid loop so that we can peek ahead at the next value for a possible swap" are more useful. Use a narrative voice when writing comments, like you are explaining the code to your grandparent. This make digestion easier. Remember, code spends most of its life, and most of its expense, in the maintenance phase. The easier you make your code to understand, the less it will cost and the longer it will live.

Fun fact: Garfield LOVES lasagna, and hates Mondays. Oh. Wait!

I am compelled to quote Fred Brooks: "There is no silver bullet". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Silver_Bullet

I am going to use a term that is hard to measure: authenticity. A lot of TV programming today, not just for kids, but in general, seems to just pander to the audience rather than tell it as it is, with genuine struggle and strife. There are exceptions (The Bear, most notably). But a lot of it just seems like pablum and slop generated to attract eyeballs rather than to tell a story. Kids sense, and dislike, condescension.

"Future generations are gonna look back at us for our treatment of animals, especially farmed animals, much the way we look back at our slave owning ancestors." I predict that in the next 100 years, or less, consumption of animal products will be much the same taboo as tobacco consumption (in the USA) is today. Yes, they will still be around, but if you enjoy them openly, you will be a bit of a social pariah in many circles.

I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Exhibition.

"And it also uses the Bill of Rights to essentially ban even the most popular laws if they infringe fundamental human rights." paraphrasing George Carlin: There is no such thing as Rights. Only privileges which can be revoked on a whim.

"The product of the railways is the successful arrival of passengers at their chosen destination." Clearly, this was not written in the USA. With a few exceptions (NE corridor, Wolverine route), Amtrak is forced to share rails with host freight (goods) railroads who could give a hoot about the expedient delivery of passengers. The Big 4 (BNSF, UP, CSX, NS) would rather just let their freight have priority and pay a minimal fine. Sadly, this will continue to be the case where Amtrak does not have their own right of way (NE Corridor, Wolverine).

If you are looking for offshore proof employment it is worth noting that defense contractors are scrambling to find qualified help. 3 conditions: 1. Work on site typically 100% because classified systems are not 'net connected. 2. No drug use. Not even THC, even if your state "legalized" it. Still illegal at the federal level. 3. No criminal history, at least in the last 10 years. 4. Must pass a FBI background check and clearance interview.

I own an older Lexus RX350, which I upgraded the stereo head unit from an outdated cassette/CD player to an Alpine unit with Android Auto/Apple Car Play. While it certainly packs more features, needing to look down to do things like frequency search is inherently dangerous because it takes my eyes off the road. Compounding the matter is if I hit a bump, and it makes my finger bounce and I end up hitting the wrong button and spending MORE time looking at the screen to make a correction. I do my best to use voice recognition while in motion, but sometimes it just doesn't work. For routine items like fan, temperature, volume, etc, hard buttons make sense. But things like updating maps are much harder to do via hard buttons.

There's an easy solution to this: just move hosting to and register in the Marshall Islands where there is effectively no copyright enforcement. It is difficult to threaten someone with a lawsuit when the law they cite is not enforced.

"1. Get a better, quieter fan that produces less noise to begin with.

2. Move the fan farther away. You don't necessarily need to filter the air from the window closest to you. Put it in a farther window. Or go all the way and get a whole house fan that puts the fan in the attic."

This might work for homeowners, but is an ineffective solution to renters like me. Our furnace/air conditioning blower is loud AF. The utility closet is next to the bedroom and it is nearly impossible to hear the TV when it is running. It is so loud that we even have to turn up the TV in the living room, around 25 feet (7m?) away and around two corners. I am CERTAIN that other renters, like myself, would like to know how to actually cancel out this droning nuisance via noise cancellation.

I am by no means elite, although I did graduate Magna Cum Laude from a low ranked state university. I found it nearly impossible to read. My mind would wander. A single page took me 30 minutes, and I often retained almost nothing. Never found out if it was anxiety, ADHD, or what. But somehow I got my work done and made it to 2 MS degrees.

One of the best, most cost effective ways to do this is by enrolling at your local community college. Faculty there are primarily focused on teaching, and WANT you to “get it”. In addition to math, I recommend you take ALL the STEM courses you can that you’ll touch in university. I took separate classes in Unix and C at community college before my university quickly introduced them in systems programming. Boy, that was time and money well spent.

Here’s a fun one: A proprietary bytecode VM allows body makers to execute custom software built with Diamond Logic Builder on Navistar trucks and buses. Instead of cutting and splicing wiring harnesses, builders can add various devices and logic to operate their systems (tow winch, water pump, lift bucket, etc.) with DLB.

Hard to train new pilots when they refuse to fly due to distrust in ATC.

Please forgive my ignorance but who pays for these funerals? Here in the USA, funerals easily cost thousands of dollars, even without a casket or burial plot. To my knowledge, unclaimed remains end up in a mass grave with no fanfare. It’s nice that in the Netherlands, EVERYONE gets a little dignity at the end, no matter who they were.

I for one, would much rather live in Elwood Blues's room than next to ANY interstate.
