It's time to mentally prepare yourselves for this
  • It's pretty simple, actually. The time zones are on average 1 hour apart. So there should be about 24*28=672 time zones on the Moon. SIMPLE.

    Biden Threatens to Veto Bill That Would Help Israel but Not Ukraine
  • Yes, using human lives as a political hot potato is despicable. However, the policy it implies (sharing the burden of caring for immigrants) is actually quite reasonable, and already policy in places like Germany.

    Root access vulnerability in glibc library impacts many Linux distros
  • According to the link in the article, the qsort() bug can only be triggered with a non-transitive cmp() function. Would such a cmp function ever be useful?

    Whats your such opinion
  • US Senators and congressmen are underpaid. Their salaries should be doubled. The president should make at least a $1 million a year, directly paid by taxpayers.

    Reason: If I, the taxpayer, pay them, then they have to work for me. The payment makes that service relationship explicit. I pay you, you work for me. And, yes, the current pay is too little, $174,000 - barely comparable to tech workers.

    Only taking $1 is an invitation for corruption. (Not claiming it happened, but it is an invitation.)

    FIRE = Financial, Insurance, Real Estate

    SEC = Securities and Exchange Comission

    So long, small phones
  • What irks me about the larger phones is that there is so much wasted screen real estate. The phone doubled in size, but can only show me half the number of items on my shopping list?

    For context, in this book, "missed by the wind" (which kinda sounds like gone with the wind) the author introduces a change to the language in every chapter, making it easier every time. And he succeeds. Highly recommend.
