@NehraWorkss The vast majority of users do not understand computing. To them it is an appliance to accomplish tasks. To the nerds, it is the most fascinating device in existence. We lose ourselves in the possibilities. We craft code like we are spell casting. Eye candy is merely superficial.

@alphafox When you really hope your friend didn't buy those carabiners on TEMU.

[Matthew J. Stott @stottmj]

@alphafox Now imagine that happening in an underground parking garage and all the other vehicles go up with it.

@alphafox Don't come knocking when the camper is a rocking.

@tommithetechie There are several LISP dialects still in use. Clojure is one that runs in a JavaVM and has full access to the JavaAPI. A major Brazillan bank built everything on Clojure and bought the company. Clojure is still open source still supported. It's great for rapid prototyping.

@tommithetechie LISP is pretty awesome language, rather simple syntax but very powerful. Originally mathematicians were annoyed at having to code the hardware in machine language assembler with many steps for even simple calculations. LISP uses RPN and nested parenthesis known as S-Expressions.

@tommithetechie The wire-wrapping is insane. Early computing, they hired seamstresses to do the wiring. That entire back plane is the wiring for the CPU.

@alphafox More likely a vape battery experienced thermal runaway. Possibly didn't lock the button and it fired in his pocket, overheated and then it ignited the battery cells. Some vapes do not have safety circuitry. Known as mechanical just a switch wire and coils straight to battery.

@feckingm @RealJamesWoods Some people can't handle alcohol, flight gets delayed they start drinking and drinking and drinking. Then they get belligerent. If you have a friend whose personality swings wildly when drinking, ask them to stop before they can't.

@TheTKofTX @PFilipivich @HistoryWJacob I mean it was 1881, no antibiotics, no widespread understanding of germs nor antiseptics. He died 80 days after being shot due to septic shock. They even pulled in Alexander Graham Bell with a metal detector to find the bullet. Except it detected the metal mattress spring.

@alphafox Sounds exactly like A.I. to me. Sprinkle in cryptocurrency, NFC & brain implants. Check & Mate.

@alphafox Pro wrestling was always faked. It is entertainment. They cut the steel frame on the tables so they break. The folding chairs are props. It's merely choreographed stunt work. Yes they do get injured all the time, as do professional stunt workers.

@NerdyPatriot @alphafox Well hopefully they will do better than Qualcomm did with the Snapdragon X Elite ARM CPUs in supporting Linux. It is still a reverse engineering work in process. Nvidia doesn't have the best Linux track record with GPUs but it has improved considerably in recent few years.

@BadalK99277 Linux is entirely DIY. Some assembly required and batteries not included. It requires knowledge to make it viable.

[Matthew J. Stott @stottmj]

@BadalK99277 Everything worked out of the box with an X1 Carbon ThinkPad Gen 12 bought at 50% off. Including the fingerprint reader. The face recognition hardware even worked just no software to use it.

[Matthew J. Stott @stottmj]

@BadalK99277 Linux won the server wars long ago. The problem is desktop is entirely fragmented. No standards. Just copy / paste is a nightmare of different key bindings. No winners in open source because nothing ever really dies and if it does it can still be resurrected.

[Matthew J. Stott @stottmj]

@BadalK99277 I just bought an X1 Carbon Gen 12 on clearance from B&H Photo that was a display model in mint condition. Half-price normal retail. It runs Linux perfectly right out of the box. With some more precise configuration I get even better battery life. Everything just works.

@Svenishness @Rightanglenews Regular employees lose severance if they are terminated for cause. Severance is when your position is eliminated such as in a layoff. Execs have legal contracts some have been fully paid in full to the contract end date, plus severance and stock options, etc. (Golden Parachute).

@_how_ard_ @RogerMoore36 @BitcoinMagazine Rev 13:15-18 Check & Mate is when govt embraces crypto, requiring ID, using NFC human chip implants, slipping in a backdoor master key to decrypt the blockchain, adding Quantum A.I. based in space to oversee it, and then outlaw cash entirely.
