If the minimum wage was a comfortable living wage

like it should be, in my and many other folks' opinion

then it wouldn't matter. One person's excess isn't a problem, unless it's at the expense of someone else (which, you know, is kinda the case...).

The beautiful thing about this is that for both the pro- and anti-systemd crowds, it only reinforces their respective opinions.

(Aside, I used to use postgres for date/interval calculations...)

Duh, just read it back from /dev/random

You will recover the data, you just need to wait long enough.

"no real bills" I'd believe...if the parent said she lived at home (no rent, and food provided), was on parents' insurance (health, auto, etc.), had no student debt, and was walking distance to work.

But given that her parent didn't, I'd guess that isn't the case. Turns out rent, food, transportation, and like you said, student debt, are all...what's the word...real bills?

The only flaw in Corel's logic was that as soon as you're running Linux, you lose all desire to run WordPerfect, and develop an irresistible need to align yourself with vim or emacs...

...but was it the "Windows Uninstall" button...or the "format /dev/sda1 as ext4" button?

There were stories going around about how Trump claimed to have been in an emergency helicopter landing with Willie Brown, the (Black) former mayor of San Francisco. Willie Brown denied this.

So...I actually think the headline makes sense, and is kinda funny, but the context is definitely important

Trump confuses a short Black politician from SF with a tall Black politician from LA.

Is there any consensus as to the internal organs/stuff which maybe doesn't fossilize well? Like, did they just evolve a bitchin' chassis but they're constantly tinkering with the internal bits?

In before the .tar.gz/.tar.bz2 gang...

It could be fun to implement this under *NIX for fun

cronjob to take screenshots, some OCR, throw it in a database...I'd never want to use this "feature" but as an academic exercise it could be a fun project.

But having it implemented by my OS, and not by me...yikes. No thanks.

Professor should know that it's etymologically Greek, not Latin, so octopi is generally considered to be wrong.

Octopuses, or octopodes if you're feeling badass, would be preferable afaik.

Article specifically calls how they're axing military and first responder discounts, how you still get upcharged for HiFi if you use their DJ Integration feature, and how they're nixing the free tier.

The article is not an advertisement; it contains some good news for consumers and some bad news for consumers. The notable bit is the good news, hence it's the headline. And it's notable exactly because it's good news

most everyone else is raising prices across the board.
