  1. ... tied to the front door so you can open it upstairs.

  2. First, ignore the people who just want to shit all over you for making more money than them. They don't know anything about your situation and aren't qualified to comment. Savings and cash flow are two entirely different things, as I'm sure you know.

    Switch wives, really.

    It's good to introduce children things they're likely to encounter.
    In my childhood I was taught (simple) woodworking, music (playing flute), theater (acting), sewing, swimming, etc.

    (Consider this: A Tesla automobile IS AC motors driven by inverters from batteries.

    S-sh-h-hht. Inside the batteries are actually weighted flywheels spinning at 50Hz. That's why you "need" to brake as advertised, it really is to keep the car going.

  6. Re:Please correct the headline... on A Beautiful Mind Mathematician John F. Nash Jr. Dies · · Score: 1

    His paper on game theory is his Ph. D. thesis. Just the tip of the iceberg this mathematician was and could have been if the illness didn't stopped him.

    Somehow intellectual brilliance seems to have its way with mental stability, let's just hope some brilliant mind will discover a treatment some time in the future.

  7. Re:You must be joking on The Reason For Java's Staying Power: It's Easy To Read · · Score: 1

    Where the fuck is your pascal snippet reading from?

    It's reading from System.in, whatever that is. You'll need to guess or look read() up. Once. After that, you'll know when and how to use it.
    You see, because in these Pascal times, there was no IDE with auto completion or snippet compiler (Lambert's ABC was one of the earlier).
    After years away from Java, I don't remember or guess to use both InputStreamReader and BufferedReader,
    because it's simply anal.
    Besides that, there aren't many languages that encourage red tape and overengineering like Java does.

    +1 for coaxing talent and hard work as the result of domestic violance, rape and tyranny.

    It's the new-fangled luxury hype that high class insists on owning when they could simply use public transportation.

    that's the bloody misconception; a perfect all-in-one fits-all universal command line interface.
    it's the tooling's limitations glued by scripting language you choose that leads to unintended but creative and useful matter.
    the powershell's achilles heel is just that, the power of all the master of none.

    Do you have a better and more reliable tablet system in mind, or are you suggesting that they should have stuck with the 35-pound suitcases full of printed material?

    It takes less than 1 mins of googling for rugged laptop/tablet or whatever, and I'm not even qualified to make such as decision.

    Who keeps modding these posts up? Using "journalctl -f" to view output from stderr to debug why daemons aren't starting is a feature I use often as part of my job.

    Don't know about your job, years of running init rarely needed to debug or check why/if/when daemons aren't starting. on production systems. with users. with usb thingies. with eth failover.
    Honestly, you fucking seriously mean to say THE FIRST PROCESS STARTED UPON BOOT NEEDS DEBUGGING and claim systemd is an improvement?!?!?

    How did you manage a score of two?

    I created an account over 10-15 years ago, treated it with utmost care and love, only now and then jesting, but very cautiously and carefully.
    With the occasional post, my precious karma went silently up and up, and up and up.
    Until today, I felt the longing for OMG frist post, succumbed and finally blew it all on an Nvidia topic.

    Spawning programs on public money is not a startup.
    Key to success is to level the playfield for commercial activities (all contenders pay more or less identical tax, no monopolies) and spend money on activities that are not commercially viable yet valuable.
    In short, you'll end up with effectively bureaucrats hopping from one program to another writing pretty money requests and/or companies squishing creativity.
    For some constructive criticism, if anyone knows of a place succesful as mentioned above, please do share.
