I would be very surprised if such a fork would diverge from Linux. I would guess that this would be little more than a branch with (most likely) support for Russian hardware. Just my hunch.

A legitimate hard fork doesn't seem particularly smart to me, but what do I know...

The beautiful thing about this is that for both the pro- and anti-systemd crowds, it only reinforces their respective opinions.

(Aside, I used to use postgres for date/interval calculations...)

My headcanon for The Matrix's "humans are batteries" is that it's the machines' perverse interpretation of this


killing the humans is off the table, and for whatever reason letting them live with no purpose to serve the machines is also disallowed. But giving their lives "meaning" in the form of a shitty (and thermodynamically dubious) "battery" somehow satisfies the rules.

It's a very big stretch, I'll admit...

I'm guessing it's because the developers either have a different speciality that they focus on, are employed to support specific hardware, or both.

My point is that him being fat is completely unrelated to him being a horrible person.

I don't care about offending horrible people; but being overweight and being a horrible person are entirely separate.

Maybe don't use body shaming terms though? That's just lazy, and it's mean to other people, not just the target of the insult.

This election isn't about "which one," it's about voting vs. abstaining.

Duh, just read it back from /dev/random

You will recover the data, you just need to wait long enough.

Perhaps microwaving for significantly longer, at a low power level, would be safer and result in higher success/yield?

I think it has a lot to do with disposition and convenience. I'm lazy, and I don't like to drive if I can help it. But I live near enough to public transportation that we'll spontaneously decide to hop on the subway and grab dinner on the waterfront.

It's not the money that's preventing us from hopping in the car to go to some new beach for dinner, it's the convenience.

I mean...it depends on the job? I go on walks during working hours all the time to clear my head and think about a problem I'm working on. I don't try to hide this from my manager.
