'Never trust a computer you can't throw out a window.' - Steve Wozniak

corollary: Never trust anything connected to a computer you can't throw out a window.

Good news for you then: the Telsa/NACS charger doesn't have a neutral, on neither the charging connector side (what plugs in to the car), nor the wall charger side (what plugs in to your wall -- in this case likely to a NEMA 6-50 receptacle).

Musk stands with Grandpa Joe on this.

*NACS and CCS have grounding pins though, anathema to grandpa, which may be what you meant when you said neutral. Neither you nor Joe really want to fuck around with up to 250kW of juice without a ground.

as explained by the author of the original Make, Stuart Feldman:

I used tabs because I was trying to use Lex (still in first version) and had trouble with some other patterns. ...
So I gave up on being smart and just used a fixed pattern (^\t) to indicate rules.
Within a few weeks of writing Make, I already had a dozen friends who were using it.
So even though I knew that "tab in column 1" was a bad idea, I didn't want to disrupt my user base. So instead I wrought havoc on tens of millions.

I have used that example in software engineering lectures.

Good news then, I don't have to worry about NFTs catching on or having lasting value. EA will figure out a way to poison the pool such that NFTs won't be just a waste of money, but a toxic waste of money.

If NASA had used a 3D scanner to scan in an existing wrench, instead of designing a new one, then they could claim, in some rudimentary way, to have deployed the first instance of a star-trek style transporter. They still can.

Because you can't get a new patent on that.

You could I suppose at least trademark a new name, say USB360(tm).

to /. about inane flash-based articles when I should be working.

Because it weighs 7oz as opposed to 33oz, is a fraction of the size, and has the same power output (2W at 5V, continuous). True, the BioLite is also a stove and this isn't, but there are many high efficiency light weight stoves that should work with FlameStower, or apparently an open campfire if you're in a place where that is permitted.

If you're car camping or day hiking you may not think saving over a pound in pack weight is important, but then again you probably don't need a USB recharger either. For multi-day back country hiking lots of people pay attention to this level of weight difference (not just the ultra-light types).

I have no connection to the FlameStower people, other than considering getting one.

No, no, no, it should be the Tautsie Roll that replaces pie.

The reason for newline-tab being syntactically significant in makefiles is because by the time make's author, Stuart Feldman, realized the problems with this choice there were already about a dozen users of make and he didn't want to break any of their makefiles with an incompatible change. See _The Art of Unix Programming_ by Eric S. Raymond.

The lesson is the time to fix a bad design decision is as soon as possible, because it's not going to get any easier later; unless or until your program becomes irrelevant, at which point there's little reason to fix it at all.

Why does the Texas AG not know this?

He's referencing the Dec 23, 1913 Federal Reserve Act, creating "The Fed" and letting it print money. I don't think this had much to do with isolationism.
