Still somehow enjoyed the video

I think, I even knew this prototype from another article. But was fun seeing it put to test and partly disassembled

Does it run on Linux?

Think is, he never was a genius - actually quite far off from it

He is just a spoiled boy having luck with gambling the money he got

In general, I'm with you
But sometimes I need to revert/comment out a code block, because another code part isn't finished/working as it should.
Sure, it clutters code, but if I just comment out a function call and temporarily replace it with the workaround, it should imho stay in code.

Else the workaround will stay forever and the commented out code will act as a reminder, that this part isn't clean yet.

But maybe it really is a case by case thing, where sometimes it's better to branch it out for later merge - although that can get really messy, while having the future implementation commented out, others will also see, how it is supposed to work and don't try to further extend the workaround, which makes future merging hell

Out of interest, how would your best practice look in such cases?

Didn't Russia or the USA train dolphins during the cold war to do military missions - or at least tried to?

An upvote wasn't enough.
Thank you!

I have only skimmed the eureka alert article, but already on the surface it's so much better than... whatever the fuck that originally-linked thing is.

My ISA Fritz! ISDN card fucking killed me...
I could, and did, live with the terminal for quite some while, surfing with Links, listening to music and even watching videos. Besides the obvious open IIRC chat in one terminal.
But the Fritz Card was horrible to setup. I need to say, that it was ok, when it worked, but as far as I remember, I needed to compile the kernel with support for it and afterwards needed to configure some memory or bus addresses somewhere.

As this was my only computer as a teenager, this was just a horrific experience. Cutting myself off from the information live line multiple times until I got it right.
Also setting up dual boot the first time was a fun adventure...

Would make sense, I guess, yeah.

Thank you very much!

Just wait for Hurd!
Hurd will kick all those little asses, you'll see, whenever it comes out!
And then GNU will be really independent and superior!
Can just be like a few years now!

Edit: I shouldn't type anymore today ...

Hm...

Sounds as helpful as Japan for the Axis...

Or did I miss some major helpful contribution to each other besides pissing off enough people to get their shit handled?

Even a supply route in case of a defensive war on either side would be more than costly, as it probably can't just be flown over countries like China.

Ok, I'm absolutely no expert here and I'm just talking out of my ass, but how is this cooperation really helpful in an actual war?

Or is this more of an political alignment?
