I'd be wary of mixing software packages from different releases because their libraries might interact weirdly. But the kernel should be more isolated. Not isolated enough?

Either way backports does sound like the best option, sure.

To make fewer grammar mistakes.

At one point that was less than $100 of RAM which isn't a big deal for the trade.

If it cared about current draw would it still say not to use lithium D cells?

And I thought NiMH was better at current draw than alkaline.

The NSA is only going to spend so much time trying to crack my specific password on 100 billion dollars of hardware. If I have a 6 word password (barely harder than XKCD) (72 bits), .1 second local hashing, and their computer is ten billion times faster than mine ($10 per my-computer-equivalent), in a month they'll get through 0.006% of the search space.

The "decades into the future" part is a much bigger threat than their ability to out-compute me in the short term.

Is this about driving to an island? If you need a plane or boat to the island and still call that trip "walking", then someone can take a plane or boat to the island and rent a car and call it "driving" or "driving plus walking".

Or if you're just saying that a very good backpacker that happens to be in greenland can get more places by walking because of a lack of roads, that might be true. But for a normal person in a typical household, their walking range is not that big. If you're in the US or Europe the roads reach almost everywhere.

What do you mean it's not. What else would you categorize it as?

And ignore the bold text saying not to use rechargeables?

Why would emergency services fill up the amateur bands?

I quoted what you claimed, it was much more than "has influence".

And I'm sure they have nonzero influence but anything significant needs more evidence than a signal call that has Kraken in it.

This isn't about what I want to believe, it's that at the slightest requests for clarification/evidence you've gone from "the fact that Binance and their cabal own the crypto exchanges" to "ability to coordinate".

Yeah Binance itself is big but it'll take a lot more than one exchange, an exchange everyone is now handling with extra suspicion, to cause a crash.

> I think the point stands that a liability in eg. USD is much different from one denominated in crypto.

If course it's different but that's so much weaker of a point. And the foreign currency comparisons weren't to particularly stable currencies.

So like, three exchanges, one of which died? Even if we assume everyone in the group is willing to tank crypto values, that's not a very big power level increase beyond what Binance has by itself.

What gluten issues do you have in mind here?

Vague digestion issues, maybe that has an effect.

For celiac there's not much evidence that the difference would change whether someone develops it, and once they do develop it even minuscule amounts are very bad for them.

I think a vote would have been great, yeah. I don't know how difficult that would have been logistically.

But specifically in terms of how much representation they allowed at the meetings, I give them a C.

I like the idea of everyone speaking, but 4 hours of speakers with 3 minutes each should have been more than enough to hear all the important viewpoints.

If they didn't listen, it wasn't for lack of physically hearing the arguments and seeing significant support.

For datacenters being built at all I want them to invest enough in power production to avoid contributing to price spikes. And for them being near me I want strict noise controls.

But if both of those are met, I'll be pro-datacenter if it can offset checks the size of Hermantown $800 per household per year in taxes.

They refused to reschedule to a larger venue (and more hours?) but since they can count how many people showed up and watched and emailed my guess is that wouldn't have given them a much more accurate picture. In some ways I feel like they should have done it anyway, in other ways I don't know if it would have made any difference. It's certainly a lot less illuminating than a community vote...

When the article says "most" people spoke against the proposal, that's an unfortunate gap in the reporting. Was it 60% or was it 95% or where in between?

Well I guess the question is whether those protestors were representative of the community as a whole. 3 million dollars in tax revenue per year is a pretty good upside.

B+ tree if you want unrolling, B-tree if you just want the faster random access.

Making cars expensive is probably the worst way to accomplish those goals though. Better zoning, funding transit, taxing emissions get more directly at the problems with less collateral damage.

Define "own the crypto exchanges" here. What percent of transactions in and out of bitcoin and ethereum go through them?

Okay, so they were not the LCD manufacturer (or in control of production) despite paying the NRE. That wasn't clear before.

I have a 13 year old CPU that needs 2 cores to decode 4K AV1. It's not that bad.

Maybe not 4K at 60fps but that's not a lot of content.

We could subsidize smaller companies, perhaps.

The big US car companies don't need subsidies. They can afford plenty of development costs but they don't want to advance into the cheaper electric space, they want to extract as much value as they can by pushing car prices as high as possible.

The problem with keeping this level of protectionism is that it encourages them to keep doing the same thing. The companies don't lose out but everyone in the US that needs to buy a car loses out. We need something to motivate them, and dropping their protection from "infinite" to "medium" or "medium-high" might do the trick.

> You can always take a look at the UI of a PAN device

I do not have a PAN device.

> it is not "one URL"

I never implied it was.

> it is an entire application, it does not have distinct "pages"

> the concept of a web application

Those are usually written in javascript and the client part could stay the same. If anything that kind of design makes it easier to replace the backend one URL at a time becasue the responses from the backend are simpler.

If they have something where the UI state is kept on the server and is relayed to the browser, that would be difficult to do anything with. But that's an especially terrible design that causes other problems, so if you're accusing them of having a design that bad please be explicit.

> I'm sorry but why would that bother you? Is my experience not valid any longer?

What? Huh? I have no idea what you think I meant but it's not what I meant.

I'm making a simple point: His backlog is not the reason he's talking about a ticket like this in 2026.

Either he took this ticket this year-ish, or he wrote this year-ish about something that happened long before. It is not the case that he wrote this post years and years ago and it was sitting in the backlog for that long.

My bet is they're not a graphic designer. There's no reason to expect or even want them to mentor on blog aesthetics.

He's telling stories from the past either way. The blog backlog isn't very important.

In an interview he said the backlog has varied from 3 to 18 months. Pretty negligible in terms of his career advancement. This isn't something he wrote ages ago.

The current directory in the UI is the directory open in whatever window you're clicking on.

That's a purer form of current directory than cmd, which has one per drive.

I don't think this has anything to do with what you responded to?

It's just the configuration pages. It's not the core of the product and doesn't need to be a perfect clone.

Is there a reason one URL at a time wouldn't work?
