Are the semantics of .internal different from those of .test as described in RFC 6761?

In the original building around which everything else was built, the men's and ladies' bathrooms are on alternating floors, because when it was built in 1938, the only place there were ladies' rooms at all were where the secretarial and steno pools sat.

When you visit the anechoic chamber, they give you a copy of a Bell Labs recruitment ad featuring the chamber. It explicitly says, "...looking for men with...". It held the unofficial title of the most-copied page of any printed matter in Bell Labs history.

In my early 20's, I would consult with high-end audio dealers when they were considering which brands to sell. I didn't get paid for this, but it was still win-win: I got to listen to whatever I wanted, privately, through lots of gear I couldn't hope to afford. In return, they got explanations of what I liked or didn't like and why (and not in that mushy language of "chocolatey bass", "insistent upper-mids", "soundstage of ambiguous dimensionalty), etc.). My goal was to get their brand lineup to the point where everything was of roughly equal very high quality and among the choices, it came down to the customers' own preferences. These stores didn't sell Tice clocks[1] or $20,000 1m interconnects--those places sold more pseudoscience than anything else. My stores would sell you a basic turntable-amp-speakers setup for a few thousand that was head and shoulders better than what you'd get spending the same amount at the big box places. If a customer wanted to go much higher than that, we'd give the names of contractors to build their listening rooms.

I say all that because now that I can actually afford today's equivalent of everything I wanted back then, the hearing loss that runs on my father's side of the family has kicked in. There's no such thing as a soundstage any more, and "pianissimo" is Italian for "drowned out by tinnitus". "High end" audio is when my hearing aids are charged up. :(

[1] Coincidentally, PS Audio was, and remains, one of my favorite reasonably-priced high-end brands.

I wish I could mod this up to the moon. I worked on the HP-UX kernel many years ago, and its VFS, I/O, etc. layers and the communication among them was more object-oriented than a lot of C++ code I've seen. You can write object-oriented assembly--it's a discipline, not a set of language features.

For great justice?

True story: A friend of mine worked on a government project in the mid 1980s where they had to write a compiler for a bespoke specialty programming language.

The compiler had to be written in COBOL.

According to Reuters, $40/share represents a 32.4% premium over JNPR's closing price on Monday (2024/01/08).

Warning! The BiG 5 'theory'is regularly quoted by Jordan Peterson and his alt-rightcult to justify racism, sexism and just plain being assholes to people. Anyone who uses it as some kind of settled science is likely one of his cultists. Remember this when hiring.

This is demonstrated near the end of the video showing the game being run in a simulator. Whether a human will ever do it? Hard to say.

I think the first "death of Usenet" panic I was around for was when the 100th newsgroup was created. The Great Renaming also spawned one. alt.* traffic volume surpassing all the other hierarchies was another. There have been zillions since then. But here we are, 40 years later. One way or another, it'll live on.

What amazes me was that enough people actually archived enough early traffic that I can find stuff I posted in the very early 80's. It was hard enough justifying the cost of carrying net.flame over expensive phone lines[1], using up expensive disk space and expensive CPU cycles, let alone buying a truckload of expensive mag tapes to store it all.

This also indirectly enforces slightly more sensible metrics. In one place I worked, any change, even whitespace, counted as a source code change, so wrapping 1000 lines of code in an if...then counted as 1002 changed lines (which, of course, was coupled with a maximum 250 SLOC/hour inspection rate). The only way around this was to leave the original indentation in place, which made the code as messy as it sounds.

Compiler-enforced indentation would have solved this (but then again, so would development managers growing spines).

Why do republicans hate them and why don't Democrats, the party of the people, think the same?

That's what a regulatory state does. Pass new regulations. The people in charge are the smartest and know what's best. This is why European tech is a joke and they will never, ever have a Apple or a Google or a Dell. Michael Dell started his company in his dorm room. In Europe he would have been expelled for illegal capitalism.
