Nah. They melt the igloos.

The US traditionally invades some Central or South American country at least once per administration. It's terrible, but it only seems strange because Obama and Trump I were the first in a long time that were too preoccupied bombing and occupying countries in other parts of the world. Invading Venezuela to, uh, liberate the natural resources, er, people, from a terrible CIA asset, uh, dictator, is pretty standard foreign policy.

Invading Greenland would be a very different thing. I hope the US congress realizes that even if the current executive is too insane to care.

You also need to know where the satellites are. That's sent out in the ephemeris, which is derived from ground observations.

You can also update GPS satellite clocks and this is done fairly regularly. The clocks in the satellites aren't nearly as good as ground based clocks and also encode the entire flight history of the satellite.

There are two parts to GPS data. There's the time signal from the satellite as well as the ephemeris data that lets you calculate where the satellite is. The former is from an on-board atomic clock but the latter is from ground observations that undoubtedly use one or another NIST time standards.

Most airlines have fleets that are as uniform as they can get. If you're an airline that has all Boeing airplanes and Boeing shut down then you're done.

And you end up with custom LCDs like in the Analogue Pocket, a handheld emulator. It's 1600x1440 which gets you 100 times more pixels than the original Game Boy at the same aspect ratio.

I've used several C wrappers for C++ libraries. I'm not convinced that it would be impossible to adapt a project to another language. Obviously the API changes in that case, but you also find API changes when two languages have very different basic data types.

This guy gets it.

Police "affected" means they will have to put in a request for a larger budget, not that they won't have access to spy drones and assault drones.

There is a clock. Each neuron has a maximum firing rate, just like a clocked digital channel has a maximum symbol rate. If the stimulus is faster than that the neuron can't respond to it.

You misunderstand what the US presidential election is. The people do not elect the president, the states do. They can cast their multiple votes however they want. Some do it proportionally to popular vote. Some do it winner takes all. Some can ignore the vote entirely if they want.

The fact that they're not all proportional is pretty irrelevant until all the other problems are fixed, and woudn't fix the specific problem you were actually talking about anyway, because the election would still be winner takes all.

I already said that in my original post.

Just what the fuck do you think I don't know?

Let me make this simple for you: Microsoft refuses to install Windows 11 the laptop. Support for Windows 10 is ended. I already told you I'm not jumping through stupid hoops to extend support for a mere 10 more months.

There may be shady workarounds for all of those known to MS MVPs, but this thread was supposed to be about the average Joe who allegedly can't figure out how to attach a printer to a Linux box.

Drones with cameras and autopiloting systems will of course not be sold by American companies, at least not to civilians. America's police departments of course can freely purchase whatever they want.

The Rust standard library (std) currently guarantees multiple compilers in the same application so crates buildable on stable will always be buildable. Therefor std can't really fully deprecate API.

If Rust 1 (there will be no "2") then any bit of Rust code for stable should still build in the future. It has been demonstrated before that a program built against rust 1.0.0 can still be built. But what is left out that "experiment" is that team will all move to a newer version of Rust rather than keep multiple versions (rustup makes it easy though). And we have had to update code before because of this. The move to 1.80 being the most recent.

I guess if you want you can keep compilers for every version you need for building a large project. Certainly I prefer having the ability to install multiple compilers, even if only for transitioning subprojects one at a time to a new compiler, especially if unit tests might not pass after modifications were made. Long term, it would seem maddening. Having to code in rust 1.90 for one project, and then 1.30 for another. I think it would be pretty terrible for a large team to have to deal with that.

It's good to be the king.
