You don't have to duck type, but it's a convenience when you do. I tend not to.
But you do have to type "this." in front of everything and when you forget to, it might work but break in subtle ways. That's what I call a language flaw.
Apple Pilot is dead. It's so dead that a Google search for "apple pilot" brings up nothing related. Google for "apple pilot language" and the first hit is an Apple II history page.
It deserved to die, but it's not just dead, it's erased from the internet, but not completely
Also that crazy strip of touristy Oregon coast where even with a town of 20k and a bazillion tourists, the nearest gas station was 20 miles away, but let's not dwell on that.
Sorry. I'm dwelling on that.
Those of us who live within an hours drive of the Oregon coast know to fill up before we go. Tourists take note.
Nope, I just read the article, and clicked through to others, and couldn't figure out the purpose of this.
I did find this article, where Poettering mentioned "The systemd cabal.... recently met in Berlin." I know it's not nice to make fun of non-native speakers, but calling it a cabal makes it sound so sinister.
Did you read the article? He wants to embrace and extinguish the distros too.
Systemd is not monolithic. It takes a number of components that used to be developed separately and streamlines them under the same roof, making them work better together. It's is not and there has never been the idea that everything under the sun should go into the same binary.
The dependencies make the monolith, not the lack of modules.
Is it really just me that has a shitload of problems with the current VT?
It is because systemd, while doing some sensible things that needed doing, also goes all out to press everyone's buttons.
So now, where pulling the console out of the kernel is a fine idea that should be applauded, by linking it to the systemd behemoth, it is regarded as yet another encroachment on things that used tow ork just fine.
Good internet access it not negotiable. I certainly did buy my last house on the understanding it had good internet (fiber, not Verizon) and wouldn't have brought it if it didn't.
It's neither more nor less negotiable than other things, like running water, electricity, a roof, clear title etc.
>Fortunately the knowledge required in school tests is very rudimentary
Um, basic calculus isn't rudimentary. It took centuries for mathematicians of exceeding smartness to work it out. Once the idea was out there, people ran with it but you cannot claim the basic idea is rudimentary.
The odd thing is, after succeeding at exams and leaving education with a glowing set of grades, they'll get a job in which if they refused to use the internet to look up answers, they'd be fired.
And they get to be respected and work in a huge hospital and have one of those upside-down watches attached to their clothes. In tech they get to sit in a grey cube.
>No. Perjury is saying demonstrably false things in court. Failing to provide evidence for your points is merely a justification for acquittal.
It's perjury if you say "X is how we found him" but in fact X is a parallel construction built on warrentless snooping by the NSA, who work hard to compromise TOR.
>The last 50 years of research have no impact at all at current day computing, except for silicon and SOCs etc.
This.
Doing new stuff in silicon is like shooting fish in a barrel. You just go find some research paper that has a good idea, then go and design it in hardware. I little hard math is enough to ensure that no one else is doing it.
Software seems stuck in a research time warp. Plan 9 was how long ago? Yet we don't have network transparent multi processing and per process name spaces in popular OSs.

That article was written by a youngster.
Pilot, PIC, mathchat, hypercard, IPL, SIMULA, etc.
These are the dying or dead languages.

I'm not sure I got that exactly from the article........
Sorry you're right right, I mean't embrace and extinguish the distros and force a dependency with btrfs.
Yes. But I'd have to think ahead and take the keyboard home where my dishwasher is.
it would depend on your mpl, correct?
And how much petrol is in the tanks of the angry motorcycle vandals.

> using rc.d scripts that turned out to have shell scripting errors that the latest version of bash broke.
Those scripts shouldn't have been passing functions by environment variable in the first place.

Joke's on you--next they'll merge vi into systemd.
OH GOD IT BURNSSSS
Too late

I might be, but I have a Happy Hacking keyboard, which suits me very well.
Semiconductor manufacturers don't just look at things with sub wavelength resolution, they build things with sub wavelength resolution.

Any engineering, legal, IT, programming, design, science or other creative task where being correct matters.

Anyone who has read the regulations.
