Depends on if Roberts decides to retire or if Sotomayor dies. We'll get another whack job if either of those things happens. Not saying Roberts isn't a whack job, but he's about the most moderate conservative on the court right now. (God help me, Barret is a close second).

No way he doesn't get replace with someone like Aileen Cannon.

Alito or Thomas retiring will be a wash. Alito has said he'll retire, so expect that to happen in the next 3 years. But honestly, I highly doubt there's anyone as crooked as he is so it doesn't really matter.

All containers are, are isolated preccesses so its barely different than launching any other process.

The two biggest differences are that containers use more disk space vs non-containers and that containers won't use shared libraries. That means that instead of loading up 1 version of glibc for most of the OS, you end up with n containers glibcs loaded up.

Practically speaking, this isn't really a huge deal. A lot of those libraries fit in less than 1mb. A disaster if this was my childhood computer. A non-issue on modern systems with more than 512mb of ram.

Kagi AI will answer

Some psychiatrists and psychologists have speculated that Donald Trump may be exhibiting signs of dementia. These concerns have been raised by experts who point to his public appearances and statements as evidence of cognitive decline. Factors such as his age (nearly 80) and a family history of dementia have also been mentioned as contributing to these concerns

Specifically, some have identified "four signs" of dementia that they believe Trump is showing. One of these signs mentioned is confabulation, which is described as "honest lying" or memory lapses, and is considered a potential indicator of dementia

However, it is worth noting that one report indicated Trump was assessed for cognitive function, which was found to be normal. Despite this, questions about his mental acuity persist among some observers

You can sue the federal government. Qualified immunity keeps these assholes from facing any consequences at all.

If you are wonder why her and not the senators, Schumer and Gillibrand aren't up for election for several years. Hochul is up for election next year.

The people that are really dumb are the congressional representatives of NYC such as Jeffries. He should be primaried.

What can I say, I'm a performance nerd.

That's a platform dependent change. Overflow is undefined behavior. I'd rather have my code portable so it can run on my Univac 1101.

Fixed

boolean isOdd(int num) {
  if(num == 1)
    return true;
  if(num > 0)
    return isEven(num - 1);
  else
    return isEven(num + 1);
}

boolean isEven(int num) {
  if(num > 0)
    return isOdd(num - 1);
  else
    return isOdd(num + 1);
}

We've been importing beef primarily from Brazil to make up the shortfall. Guess what country got a 50% tariff that has stuck?

Yup, the band is already littered with 6g devices. It'd be a stupid purchase.

But also, 6GHz is somewhat of a useless band for carriers. It's high enough frequency that it'll get absorbed by most things yet low enough frequency that it'll struggle to really carry a whole lot of data.

It's remarkably cheap for a billionaire to do this shit. Bezos bought wapo for $250M

It'd frankly be dead cheap for a billionaire to setup and run a progressive newspaper and/or fund a hundred YouTube progressives and progressive politicians.

Heck, they could setup and operate a general union fund and support union campaigns and union relief funds. They could indefinitely support striking workforce. Doing that just once would completely change how companies interact with unions.
