This book would probably disagree :-) https://www.fnac.com/a19325120/Bernard-Cerquiglini-La-langue...

No, the answer is 21. You ignored the "Shape is distinguishable by touch before drawing".

If you like scary, there are also emacs based agents like gptel which support tools like "eval-elisp".

A kitchen sink is almost indistinguishable from a sandbox, right?

... right?

I have always seen this a a signal that the drinker doesn't want drowned wasps in their beer.

Depending on who's legal fiction you believe, the Roman Empire was only dissolved in 1806 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichsdeputationshauptschluss

Yeah, that number is probably too low by a factor of two or so.

They are not trying to just open a company, they are trying to create one the more complex nested company setups allowed by German law.

That is the point of failing safe. It would me much worse if some of the trains kept running...

It's not, it was a scheduled software update.

Just like RAM and disk prices have been continually decreasing for as long as people remember.

The actual prescient LLM quote is "7. It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one."

Yeah, even nostalgia is no longer what it used to be...

Welcome to old age :-).

On the other hand, I recently installed a system with debian 13, and it was really easy to distinguish between X11 and wayland sessions: if the session displays a plasma desktop, it's X11, if it crashes on login, it is wayland. YMMV if you try to switch to wayland.

And if you ever run out of things to do in your copious free time, it looks like that PR #1744 was merged without the has_target_ctx assert two days after you uploaded your drafter quants. So you can now redo all your quants and rerun all your benchmarks ;-).

It means that the request to the API contains cryptographic proof that is was generated by a legitimate, reviewed app running on a unmodified and non-rooted mobile device controlled by Apple or Google.

No, because both positions boil down to "don't waste my time by refusing to think".

Nobody would be so weird as to put the "four" first when pronouncing "14".

:-)

Then it would fall under "symbolic or ritual use".

Before electric computers, the human mind was a steam engine: https://www.ezrabrand.com/p/releasing-the-pressure-a-dive-in...

This is the textbook legal definition of spam in any sensible jurisdiction, though.

Yes, you are likely confusing Oberon with Pascal. That is the Wirth language people usually have heard about. They may also have heard about Modula 2, but assuming that is stretching it. I was already interested in computers at the time, but I still only remember Oberon as that even bigger failure than Modula.

The only earthquake that happened in the region I am living during my lifetime was caused by a collapsing salt mine, though. (Small magnitude. I only heard about it because I was working at a particle accelerator lab at the time and the machine crew observed some beam instability caused by the ground vibrations, so they talked about it.)

You are arguing against the opposite of what the comment you answered to said.

Watch the original, there you can select an English simultaneous translation: https://media.ccc.de/v/36c3-10652-bahnmining_-_punktlichkeit...

That method wont work, that is a too large change that happens to seldom. What you want is a leap second every hour for five months to switch between standard and daylight savings time and back, with a month of constant time around each solstice. That gives you a smooth transition without perceptible discontinuities.

People have been wondering that for a while: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19304281

You only have to bundle about 110 ISDN channels to transfer that (four E1 or five T1 trunk lines).

Like the "Cancel subscription" dialog with options "Cancel" and "Cancel"...
