The mistake is thinking that a 1000 byte file takes up a 1000 bytes on any storage medium. The mistake is thinking that it even matters if a kB means 1000 or 1024 bytes. It only matters for some programmers, and to those 1024 is the number that matters.

Disregarding reality in favor of pedantics is the real mistake.

Maybe Huang should.

You are right in spirit.

It was not sysv to systemD, and it was forced (by making udev not work without it).

Other then nvidia, wayland is still missing some protocols (example: what virtual desktop you want your window to be on). But those protocols are (still) being worked on. And you will always be able to run x11 programs on wayland.

The advantages of wayland are a more direct path to hardware, and trowing away lots of code.

By that logic, it's the same for usa.

The hardest thing in programming is naming things, off by one errors, and cache invalidation.

No. It would not kill.

I played 3d peron games (not online). Always picked girl for that reason. Never mattered because i'd end up focusing on the game.

No, it's just not viable. Just maintaining the vacuum is hard and takes a lot of energy. Keeping it from imploding onto the high speed train is also very hard.

It does not need experimenting, it is known already.

It is and always was a scam (or just simple stupidity, or both).

The beam is reeeealy wide by the time it gets there. Still a great achivement, though.

Rex Krueger, Stumpy Nubs, Jonathan Katz-Moses , Bourbon Moth Woodworking for woodworking.

AlphaPhoenix, Applied Science for science.

Strange Loop Conference, and many such other for programming.

Nah, sry. I just heard/read about them. One thing is using an inverter to control power instead of on/off timing. Other is using a bunch of sensors, that i remember as an idea many years ago.

Seems to have both (i just googled "fancy microwave" and it was the first result :)).

For my needs just a timer dial is enough.

Cost-benefit is not there. You can buy fancy ones that do some such things, but they are expensive.
