So in other words, you don’t know.

Also, In Time, Elysium, or Chappie.

I even have the perfect movie title: Out of Time

My favorite part is how this meme itself consists entirely of plain text plus a little styling.

If this is in response to the capture of Maduro specifically, then yes, you are overreacting. Trump seems to only be interested in being a bully picking on those weaker than him, which excludes nuclear powers.

You have got it backwards. The correct analogy would be if the Confederacy won the Civil War by conquering all of the states in the Union except for Rhode Island, but then later claimed that it was actually Rhode Island that was the separatist group and demanded that everyone in the world agree with this.

I wonder what the fine folk of the Phoronix comment section have to say about this!

Let’s check out comment #2:

Does anyone still care, besides maybe Putin? [emphasis mine]

I see…

By handwriting raw lambda calculus.

Hey, now, there are a lot of perfectly good people in the southernmost tip of Chile who do not deserve Russians springing up from the ground!

The impression that I got from this article is that even the author of imake feels the same way, and is only maintaining it out of consideration for legacy software still using it.

Who would have thought that there would be a context in which GNU Autoconf and Automake were considered the modern way to build software?

My species uses e as its base because that is proven to be mathematically optimal. In our number system, humans use base 2.3025850… (but written entirely as powers of e using our far superior elegant notation, of course!)

No, scratch that. Even black holes radiate out the information they receive. M-Files doesn’t.

That is an amazing zinger!

I was also a bit surprised to see that Vala is so widely adopted, but it is a very natural fit when you consider that it was specifically designed to use GObject as its OOP implementation, making it essentially a “native” speaker in GNOME.

No, you have it backwards. If the total pot for athletes is considerably smaller than the total pot for medical professionals, than redistributing it amongst medical professionals would not significantly increase their individual incomes because there are so many of them that each would only get a small share of it.

Nah, presumably the developer already has an operating system and just needs a text editor.

You might be right, but you don’t actually know that for certain. If your consciousness emerged from nothingness once, there’s no reason why it could not do so again (albeit probably in a completely unrecognizable form).

Personally, I am agnostic as to whether reincarnation is a thing or not, but honestly, when taking the numbers into account, oblivion sounds like a much better deal than spending my next billion lifetimes as a bug that lasts for only a brief time before being eaten in one of countless agonizing ways. (There is a reason why the Eastern religions that believe in reincarnation tend to emphasize that the ultimate goal is to escape it.)

Not to be confused with Weird AI, which is in the intersection of none of the circles.

Oh, thank Albert! I was looking for you.

Here is the list of new things I want that I came up with since we last talked…

And what is the best tool for the job? The best tool for the job.

At least it’s Not Unix.
