Literally no one has ever said something good about Makefile tabs. Makefiles are an example of what not to do, and Python copied it.

Hopefully your current and future 'software engineers' will learn, quickly, to refocus on systems design, business process design, and leave the head down coding to machines that will eventually automate the grunt work of this and that.

Of course, the transition w

The transition will be ugly. But ask any CPA how they feel the transition from paper ledgers to Excel spreadsheets to modern accounting software ruined their profession...

That's the model to aim for. Many a CPA I did work for offered value in interpreting law and regulations, business practices, and directing their clients to value and profit. I've known a few 'software engineers' that wanted to be left alone to their coding. That was never a good plan.

Luke AFB, nominally located in Glendale, AZ, was built long before housing was built as close to it as ii is today. Mostly farms back then. In time, of course, development ensured, and now many residents complain bitterly about jet noise. They never were told, nor realized, that they bought their house next to an active Air Force base that was there decades ago, in 1941.

Until 2019 it was in Surprise, AZ city ordinance that realtors or sales agents needed to have on their person a map of the Luke AFB locale, the noise levels to be expected, and to offer it to prospective buyers and sellers upon request, and to disclose this information prior to contract. And they had to have this on their person even if they were not actively engaged in real estate or related business. Yes, having lunch with friends. $500 fine. Rescinded in 2019, but sales agents in offices must display the map still.

Luke is an active F-35 training base. Your house, if located within the flight paths or approaches, was built after Luke was an established feature of the area. If you got cheated, well, sad.

Most airports that seem poorly located were in fact the preexisting users, and have seen the surrounding land built up, sometimes inappropriately. 'Always open space' is a laudable goal, remembering that will result in traffic, longer access times, and the inevitable pressure to build something there.

Scissors have been used to cut the lines, with explosive effect.

Yes, I will absolutely give green light to Israel to protect itself against all enemies around it, all of who want to see Israel destroyed completely.

I will do the same exact for Ukraine.

Both countries are at war, protecting themselves against terrorists that are trying to destroy them.

As to the claim that Israel commits any war crimes, there are always some crimes at war, this is inevitable. Israel is the ONLY side in that conflict that actually actively works to prevent war crimes by having the most strict rules and protocols that are set up to ensure there are as few casualties as possible. That's why Israel uses the most advanced most precise ammunition to target its enemies instead of doing what I would have probably done, which is total annihilation of all enemies with the maximum force possible. That's my preferred approach. But Israel is not me, so they are extremely careful.

I'd like an OS that works like I want it to on my phone, tablet, desktop, and laptop.

Oh, wait. No I would not.

I don't use a conventional desktop PC any more. I have a Raspberry Pi 5 with an NVMe drive that does adequately, but it's also my home server gadget. RaspiConnect gets me a username desktop if I need another one. Debian ftw.

I also have a VisionFive 2 sbc running another adequate desktop if I need a second independent instance. Debian ftw again... And when this gets an NVMe drive and the RDP lag issue fixed, it will be ready for more punishment. Eventually it's going into the field for amateur radio POTA/SOTA/fooling around/eConm.

And my laptops both run windows 11 in one of the fast release rings because I remember Windows 3 .1, ME, and Vista, and 11 is solid in comparison. Right now no Linux desktop attracts me, but I might demote one this fall, just to see. So I need is Fusion 360 to run.

Turns out I only want the Android/ChromeOS blend on my truly mobile devices. Sure, Alphabet, you can try, but only when you can run niche apps as a desktop app will I be able to change.

But I'm dying to see what they come up with. Can it be as fun as AIX 3.2 on an N40?

So are you saying he is supposed to be responsible for everyone's welfare because he has the ability to pay quite a bit? Are you this generous with your own money as well, or only with the money of people that you don't like, because they have so much more of it than you will ever have?

Israel is the only democracy in the region and it is home to the Jews from all over the world and they must and will protect their home. Israel does not target civilian population, it targets combatants, who are hiding among the so called "civilian" population. Civilian in quotes, this population provides the meat to replenish the Hamas terrorist combatants. These civilians attacked Israel on the 7th of October together with Hamas terrorists and murdered Israelies and boasted about it. I am 100%, 10000% pro Israel and against all of its enemies.

you are a terrorist sympathizing scumbag, why don't you move to Gaza? Ukraine has been under fire for over a decade now, children are murdered by ruzzian orcs every day, so is anyone else unlucky enough to be hit by a drone launched into civilian infrastructure.

Israel must win and not let any terrorists annihilate itself.
Ukraine must win this and not let any terrorists annihilate itself.

Both countries are under attack by terrorists. In fact ruzzian terrorists have been supplying middle Eastern terrorists with weapons and intelligence and psyops help (similar to what you are engaged in) for a very long time. The world must awake to this nonsense, remove ruzzian terrorism from this planet, this would clear out quite a few other terrorists from this planet.

Except you are a lying scumbag, that's all. Israel is protecting itself from extermination, lead forward by Iran, who is now going to be busy enough with its own problems for a while, to support all the terrorists around Israel, at least these are good news. Hoping that Israel deals with the Hamas operatives and finds all of the remaining hostages.

You are not just off topic, you are a pro-terrorist scumbag.

It did well domestic business, but stunk it up in China, and the rest of Asia doesn't look too good either. The only foreign market that's really putting in good numbers is Latin America. Since the domestic market is doing better than expected, it'll make money. But with the way Asia is playing out, it won't make the kind of money that Warner Brothers was hoping for.

Hollywood has been relying on Asia for profitability on multi-million dollar CGI epics for a couple of decades now. They may have to adjust their business model.

What do you mean by that? They both work out to the same thing just with a different syntax.

Better begin/end than syntactically significant white space. Wow this argument has been going on for a while.

Has Ada usage actually been increasing recently?
