Thank you, this was so timely. My zsh terminals have been saving my command history but, for reasons I didn't know, were not displaying them. I'm much pleased to have that sorted out.

I've taken a look at that as well. It seems to be heavily in development at the moment, though I'm keeping my eye on it.

Thanks. I downloaded the 64bit "on demand" version of q, kdb+ and have been toying around.

Recently I've been dabbling in q and kdb+. Would there be any benefit to dabbling in J instead?

< Does it use a new instance for every app >

Unfortunately, yes.

Yes, there is. It comes for free (depending on source) with Nikon mirrorless cameras.

mpv is fantastic and continues to improve.

I don't suppose I should get my hopes up for macOS DAWS? That would involve resolution for both GUI and audio latency.

Thanks for your honesty. I'm not from academia but I have made similar conclusions in my own area. I'm trying to find what I can pass on to my children to save them some time, but it's awfully hard.

Heh heh, title is indeed badly worded.

In having to choose from about 5 to 6 that I have to now, it would certainly be a nightmare if it fragmented to 3 dozen or so. That would be a major problem.

The key difference is there is no large industry of lobbyists working for reckless driving and murder. If there was, I daresay some rethinking would be in order, even in these cases.

Yes, I think the personal computer sucked in many people who previously would have idled their time elsewhere, having nothing better to do. It was often a life saver or at the very least a more productive use of time - for me it certainly was.

Thanks, that was quite an interesting read.

OK then, big assed Noctua fans it shall be for me.

i have experienced both depression and anxiety at different times in my life, and have just learned about psilocybin a few weeks ago. Though I've found my own peace (mostly) nearly two decades ago, I'm still determined to get to the bottom of this psilocybin thing!

True, the body and the brain both rot and die. However, whether there is something beyond that that lives on, or not, is something that we are truly qualified to comment on only after we die, however scientific one may try to be.

Well, we don't really know what happens after we die. And a little bit of symbolism is a nice touch that also helps those left behind.

I do have sane on my system. However, I found the interface very rudimentary.

Thanks, I'll certainly try it out.

Edit: Yup, it covers my Visioneer 7300. Thank you indeed.

I totally rely on my WinXP vm to run Office legacy stuff, an old scanner for which I only have XP drivers, and to keep alive accounts used by my daughter when she was little. Perhaps I should update it to SP4...

Edit: It was a p2v vm of a desktop I started running in 2005. By 2009/10 it had started to crawl: 5m+ for boot and shutdown compared to seconds as a vm on Linux!

Thanks, that was a good read. Especially this! <Turns out not only was she pregnant, but Target knew before even the girl realized it.>

I think your comment is spot on. Have Google et al really missed that, or have they just concluded that individual tracking is better? It seems a pity as focusing on the content being served for ad cues is so obviously how it used to work.

Thanks. I've been trying to like LibreOffice for years and hadn't heard of FreeOffice. I have to try it out - and am keeping my fingers crossed.

+1 for Reaper. I use it on Linux and it is excellent.

The problem is that every system is doomed to fail if it is based on pure ideology, be it capitalism or communism. The reality is that you need something in between. One which rewards effort but ensures a safety net, and provides the means and opportunity. Where one draws the line in balancing the good of capitalism and communism is the spot where wisdom lies. Communism obviously failed. Capitalism of the kind you have in the US also appears unsustainable as does the socialist underpinnings of countries such as India - just too much ideology involved. Of course countries ridden with extreme corruption have no hope whatsoever until the corruption can be reduced.

Seconded.

Some years ago I thought so too. Now I'm just used to it.

"Wells Fargo had apparently tried to evict another customer for not keeping up with payments, and bank employees had mistakenly removed his box instead."

Wow. The incompetence is truly amazing.
