Dude. I'm so old I have actually used a VT100. I actually used a teletype for a few minutes for the heck of it. No punch cards, though.

I'm pretty clear on what a terminal emulator is. I've probably used one more days than not over my more than half century.

My point was: **We're totally ditching github!!** - and yet their website still links only to source on github.

Huh. What's Ghostly?

Nope.

Yes. We should all be our own FDA, EPA, and OSHA. That worked *really well* in the past.

And a douche bag of a president who drops bombs next to schools and kills 135 kids . Should resign on the spot for that.

Look up "human shields", the practice of siting military targets among (or in or under) large collections of non-military civilians, in order to deter strikes against them or produce propaganda claims of atrocities when they're attacked anyhow.

In such situations the fault for the "collateral damage" is assigned to the side that set up the arrangement, not the side that hit it.

Nevertheless, it should be noted that the US has been trying very hard to use precision munitions and extreme military intelligence to take out military targets with as little harm to the innocents they're embedded among as possible, with impressive success. Compare the amount of collateral damage in this war to any of those conducted in the 20th century.

He's doing the bare minimum sniff test of verifying that *you* are the guy whose name is on the bookings and not someone sneaking in on someone else's name who can't even pronounce the name on your fake id.

At least in the case of people claiming to be returning citizens I've been told that they're comparing your accent to your claimed residence (or residence history).

Different words are acquired at different ages, and many are pronounced with regional variations. An expert can talk to you for a few minutes and come up with a pretty good age-map of where you lived as you grew up. An agent with a modicum of training can detect a mismatch between how you pronounce certain words and your claimed residence and pass you through quickly or keep you around and drill more deeply. (If you now live in an area with a regional accent wildly different from where you grew up it can help to answer a where-do-you-reside question with "Footown, but I grew up in Barstate".)

I presume they are doing something similar, though no doubt with lower resolution, on the world-wide level for visitors from other countries.

Yeah. I wish that were true. Trump was elected by a majority. And his current support numbers are still around 38%.

It turns out the number of idiots if really high. And the ones running the country and enforcing the 'laws' include a lot of 'em.

I would much rather go nearly anywhere in Europe.

From their site:
"drive up to 40 miles per day completely off the grid".

Even half that would cover all my driving needs for our 2nd car (2 person/2 car family).

Am I the only one that find "times as cheap" annoying? I really want it to be 1/3 the cost. Meh.

I'm also curious how many cycles it's good for when compared to other battery tech.

News at 11. Again. I mean... really, this time for sure.

I will not be making a phone this year either. Maybe never.

I don't need a full slashdot story, though.

Actually had this conversation recently.

ios has pluggable keyboards. Why not have pluggable AI?

Every library/tool writer:

ChatGPT, write concise useful documentation for this tool/library.

Writing any docs (good or bad) used to take time. Writing any docs no longer really does. And if it's not already good at it, it'll probably continue to get better.

What is the lead time between a book being popular and it being made into a movie?

With a 5 year copyright, no author would ever be paid for their book becoming a movie. A year for it to be clear it's popular. A year to think about making a movie. 3 years to make the movie. It comes out 5 years and a day after publication and doesn't owe the author a cent.

And all the other edges for things that get rolled into other things.

That doesn't work for me. Does it really work for you?

So 5 years is too short.

5 years is too little. 95 years is too much. There is a happier medium.

But I'm excited that *anything* is making its way. I honestly did not think anything was going to age into the public domain in my lifetime. I'm hopeful that the fact the world does not end when these things go public domain may mean we might even get a shorter term some day.

I have to think that there were a few other steps between #1 seller of robotic vacuums and chapter 11. Maybe even 10 chapters :-)

Guh. How long until my 'bot is a brick.
