I don't, but isn't this what people buy fabric conditioner for?

If you have a genuine choice of steal or starve, even then you won't necessarily steal food. You might steal whatever is easiest to and sell it to buy food.

The rolling back technique you describe is often used for network play to hide the network latency ("rollback netcode"). When I first read about it I thought about using it to fix high emulator input latency, but never got round to it.

A quick search suggests that emulators do something slightly different called run-ahead. This is simpler because it only has to cope with a fixed latency. The graphics displayed are consistently a fixed number of frames ahead of the game state. For every frame it saves the state, runs the emulation forward a few frames, displays the frame and reverts the state.

Completely agree. Also, get a hob with physical knobs rather than touch controls. Not as pretty but much less frustrating.

In the unlikely event this succeeds you'll need to provide address or bank details to someone (most likely Facebook) in order to get paid. No thank you.

To get complete whois information you need to query the registrar. Whether the whois or DNS is the most up-to-date source for the authoritative DNS servers for a domain seems like an implementation detail at the registrar rather than something you can know in advance. I guess I'm missing something.

If the professor had a secretary it's possible he never saw the email. Some employees like to bask in the reflected glow of their boss's high status (as they see it) and are very sensitive to perceived slights.

16 bytes is 128 bits. Why would you use 32?

Are you confusing CLAs with CoCs?

You need bottle conditioned beer. Many wheat beers are.

The startup/shutdown code is for the C runtime. If you avoid the C runtime you don't need it.

I wonder how many millions of man hours could have been saved over the last twenty years if we could have added semantic="false" to our tables rather than redesigning everything.

I don't think parents will demand anything. They will continue to assume that somebody else is making it safe for their children.

Many European cities were also constrained by city walls. Land may have been available but it wasn't necessarily defensible.

Or make the phones themselves!

A large proportion of the spam that makes it into my gmail inbox is from American politicians and I'm not even American. They are indeed part of the problem.

Absolutely. The only way we can be sure that this will be fixed by 2036 is by introducing a new NTP version that doesn't have this problem. Anything running the current version (which could be seen on the wire) would be considered broken.

No, JavaScript running in your browser can connect to it. No remote access required. Of course, if you do allow remote access it is even worse.

Nightclub bouncers do this all the time. They don't have weapons or legal immunity or a fat pension or even a good salary. It should not be beyond the capability of police officers.

Since you raise the subject, getting paid for it is one of the best things about taking a shit at work.

I'm sure you would make money, though the law might catch up with you eventually. A similar tale:

After you create an app in Visual Studio you can build it by running msbuild. You don't need an additional build script.

There are a few actors where I still remember the first time I saw them in a film. I had no idea who they were but they were mesmerising. They all became stars. Being gorgeous helps (and is sometimes enough to succeed) but some people really do have an astonishing talent.

We Brits still curb our enthusiasm. Kerbs are just the things on roads.

World Athletics is up there too.

This has been my impression for the last quarter of a century. Better communications ultimately give lower efficiency. Why plan when you can micromanage?

I know elderly people who still speak this way. It's changed in the last hundred years.

Yes. I had thirty years of back pain. Then I reached an age where ones muscles naturally atrophy and I was really in trouble. But after four years of back exercises, weight lifting and core exercises the pain is almost entirely gone. My back feels better than it ever has.

One weird thing was that it sometimes took me a couple of years to realise I was doing an exercise wrong. But I don't think I was initially capable of doing the exercise correctly. I literally didn't have the muscles, and it took a couple of years of wonky exercises to start developing them.

If, like me, you're an older geek with little sympathy for your body, it takes a long time to develop it. But it's worth the effort.
