That's pretty much the entire point of using Remind, so that the school can inform you of important things like that. Didn't really mean to come off so snarky, but people really do need to be better about not checking every little buzz buzz from the phone, especially during meetings.
I noticed that some of the songs I was listening to did not match up with CD recordings of the same songs I own. The versions playing on Sirius were shortened.
They play the single edits instead of the album versions. This is not unusual at all. This is done to a LOT of songs to fit in a 3 minute or so time period for radio. I'm not entirely sure how you've never noticed this.
First it was Dire Straights - Money For Nothing. An entire verse was removed (I initially chalked it up to SJWs).
The difference is ethanol being added to the gasoline. Ethanol is hygroscopic. That means you're going to end up with water in your gasoline, not good. In some parts of the US you can still get ethanol free gasoline, especially marinas.
Ethanol free gasoline with fuel stabilizer will last just like it did back in the old days.
Well the DCC protocol itself isn't actually a part of the IRC protocol itself. It's an informal add-on to the protocol, that involves the clients speaking to themselves.
As far as traversing NAT goes, unless you have a specific protocol handler for IRC, like you would for FTP, it doesn't. If you had a file send protocol that was based on UDP, you could use IRC as a replacement for a STUN server. However, that is a completely client side issue, its not something the IRC protocol itself addresses directly, maybe it should though.
Is there such a thing as "the" IRC code, I was under the impression it was a protocol not an implementation.
It's both. There are many IRC daemons out there, most of them written in C, thats what the clients connect to. The protocol presented to the client tends to be mostly compatible across implementations, with various minor quirks here and there.
But in any case I think the DCC code would need a major workover.
As far as DCC goes, thats a client side protocol, that really doesn't involved the ircd at all beyond passing the messages between the clients exchange the IP/port info.
Or really any non-text case, today I'd probably go for JSON or XML,
One of the nice things about the IRC protocol itself is that it is rather fast to parse. You can pretty easily parse it with something like strtok(). Given the time period the protocol was designed, speed of parsing is very important. Especially since most IRC daemons single threaded event driven processes.
I'd 100% agree with you that trying to turn IRC into something modern like Slack just doesn't make sense. I know I certainly wouldn't try doing it.
Things like channels and nicknames, really don't work so well in modern contexts. The fact that it is an ephemeral medium, that if you're not connected to IRC, you don't have any chat history. Trying to use IRC on a mobile device is even worse, nothing like getting a ping timeout and not realizing it for a few minutes because you hit a dead zone. Then you disconnect/rejoin rinse and repeat.
The one thing about working on an IRC daemon is that you learn a lot of lessons on how NOT to design a modern chat system.
At least that's the viewpoint of this jaded ircd-ratbox coder;)
You've obviously never had the misfortune of using satellite internet. Max out your cap in one evening. God forbid you need to SSH to something, yay latency. MOSH is a lot more pleasant at least if you have to do an interactive shell over it, local echo and all. I will say this, satellite internet is never going to be anyone's first option, it's pretty much their last option(or dialup I guess).
Are there places where I can type a VW part number and get the equivalent alibaba part or somesuch ?
Well you are likely not going to find third party parts for many things in a VW, especially electronics related. However, you can find a lot of used parts on ebay just by searching for the part number alone. However there is often a compatible part number that is slightly different too, depends on the part etc. So you'd need to be careful.
Partslink24 is a good resource(if a bit spendy for a subscription) to look up part numbers based on VIN. Though things like your transmission control modules might need to be recoded with something like VCDS if you buy a used one.
We may not need to. There's considerable evidence to suggest that there's plenty of asteroids out there that are nearly pure iron - as in all we have to do is chop it up, hammer it out, or melt it down and cast/print with it.
This presumes that you want to make EVERYTHING out of iron, and not steel(which needs further processing, you know). I'm not even sure if most of our modern steelmaking techniques would work in zero-g. Pure iron on its own isn't really all that useful, generally its too brittle without being alloyed with something else, like carbon.
It also doesn't help with other alloys that are quite likely to be more useful in space, aluminum, titanium, etc are all pretty useful. Not to mention PLASTICS! Pretty sure we're not going to mine the raw materials plastic in space either. There are just too many useful materials here on Earth that can't be sourced from space, some possibly never.
I fail to see what's the gain between launching a rocket with 1 ton of preassembled componned or 1 ton of materia used by a space 3D printer to build those component.
Think along the lines of large objects that could not be launched from Earth pre-assembled, especially items that have large empty spaces inside of them. Also. you can assemble some items in space that would collapse under normal Earth gravity. Building in space, means that the object only needs to be able to stay together in micro-gravity, which gives you a bit more freedom in structural designs.
The only way I can see a real gain is if most of the materia weight come directly from space. For instance, asteriod mining.
The current problem with mining materials in space is, we simply do not have the infrastructure in place to mine, purify and process minerals into finished metals in space. Sure it would be nice to see this some day, but in the mean time it's cheaper to launch your raw materials off Earth, especially if they're in the form of powdered metals, those pack very nicely into rockets. Besides I've heard there is some weird South African guy selling used discount rockets, not sure I'd trust him with my life, but with a pile of titanium powder, sure.
In short, you need to build the salt box pioneer shack in space before you build the steel furnace in space. We're barely past the salt box shack stage.
Oh I don't disagree that could be a problem, but that is true of giving a citation to just about any URL though. Hopefully if you are citing a Wikipedia article, its not something that it would get deleted in the mean time.
The issue with citing Wikipedia is that it isn't stable. Sure they have the formula for PVC on a certain page. But someone could just edit and change that either defacing or just reorganizing. How do you the cited link to check the original citation?
But no one says "I received 3 mails this morning,"
The reason being mail is the SERVICE that delivers letters and parcels. You'd say "I received 3 letters this morning".
I hate to break it to you, but the rest of the world considers email to be both uncountable in the case of email as the SERVICE that delivers the email and countable as in the emails(nobody calls them letters) that is delivered via the uncountable email service.
Things like power lines add a sense of perspective and scale to the artwork without involving a huge amount of animation. Power lines make for really nice leading lines and can draw the viewers eyes to where the artist intends, on a budget.
Also I guess there is a sense of modernity that power lines and electrical infrastructure imply.
Though what do I know, I've never really gotten into anime.

The school bus is going to be 25 minutes late, yes I'd like to see that notice from the school letting me know this in a timely fashion.
It's not my fault you lack the ability to not to look at your phone every time it goes buzz buzz in your pocket.

In this case, bauxite.

Make everyone at your office use IRC with Microsoft Comic Chat.
That's pretty much what Teams is anyways, without being as much fun.
The 2.5" form factory has been around since the early 90s if I recall correctly. Pretty much just for laptops back then.

Incorrect. Most operating systems have the ability to upload a microcode update very early in their boot process.
This link explains the Linux driver: microcode.txt
If I remember correctly, Windows has a similar method(but I do not know Windows well enough to confirm this).

You cite a particular revision of the page. For example, for PVC if you wanted an old revision: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Polyvinyl_chloride&oldid=802948163. The history page exists for a reason.
I'm curious if this includes the towers and the associated equipment as well. I'd be really surprised if it did.

No, we call them Imperial units typically. Sometimes you will hear (US) customary units. The latter being more accurate term, of course.
