A real wealth tax could be devastatingly effective at reducing wealth disparity. It just takes some patience to let the exponential compounding effect kick in. Way, way less blood and lower potential for counter revolution.

This, coming from someone who just wants everyone to check their own filesystems.

I’ve been to the official museum in the old bottling plant in Waco, and no, there never was a real doctor.

Backpage moderated some posts, sure. But what was the role of Salesforce here besides supplying a software package?

It’s actually because the thing that makes you make those faces is the acceleration, not the speed.

All three reference frames shown are accelerated, non inertial frames. But the first two have “fictitious” centrifugal accelerations somewhere around 0.5-2.5 g. The third frame has a detectable centrifugal acceleration, but it’s like 0.003 g or something, and can be lumped in with gravity for many types of problems.

Of course. That bro is OG and gonna throw a chair atcha.

Aka “Windows subsystem for Linux”

This is probably also true. When In’n’Out conspicuously puts the potato slicer in view of the counter, they’re really making a statement that limits which ways they can cook the fries.

Not necessarily for the better.

Once upon a time, straight outta school, I wrote up solutions to problems from the Serway physics book. For Chegg. $5 per problem.

Fuck Chegg.

This can also be ordered as “well done” fries.

Also works with the onions on the burgers.

DLR trains do, and several airport trains.

Some London Underground lines have drivers that only intervene in the automatic operation of the train in an emergency or abnormal condition.

The Constitution says “swear or affirm”, not just “swear”. That clause accommodates Quakers and Jehovah’s Witnesses.

And they are all welcome back if they can satisfy the Linux Foundation that they’re not affiliated with a sanctioned entity on the SDN list.

Compare with the yearly release cycle on cars.

Kill -9 is a command on Unix and Linux to send signal 9 (SIGKILL) to a process. That’s the version of kill that is the most reliable and has immediate effect.

Taskkill is a Windows command line program. I believe that taskkill /f uses the TerminateProcess() API. This is more forceful than the End Task button on the Task Manager. There is a different End Process button on the Task Manager that does use TerminateProcess().

TerminateProcess() is pretty reliable, but it doesn’t form part of the C signals stack on Windows like kill -9. So for instance, if you’re doing process control on Python, you need to use a special Windows-only API to access TerminateProcess().

802.11ax, clients just… (essentially) wait for a random amount of time, listen for a break in the signal, and take a leap of faith.

Ethernet originally worked the same way, back when it competed directly against token ring. Ethernet won by being as reliable in real world scenarios while being cheaper to build out. Gigabit Ethernet was the first standard that insisted on full duplex only.

Half duplex mode with the collision avoidance is still actively supported for 10/100, but it is becoming very hard to find an unswitched hub. So you may have to write up your own twisted pair cables.

Those people are almost as bad as the junior devs that are very confidently incorrect.

Carpenter square would really do a lot here. Lots of low level wood workers fail to grasp the utility of the square.

Oh yeah. I absolutely think that the US did the right thing with Von Braun with Paperclip, including his naturalized citizenship and the eventual National Medal of Science, that was well-earned.

I just think we should absolutely not white wash the history at the same time. People are complex entities who are capable of both evil and good.
