> Interesting fact: A lot of modern gas cooktops have safety features that will cut the gas off when the electricity is out.

Huh, I did not know that. The natural gas stove that I grew up with has a good ol' fashioned pilot light, so it's fine even when the power goes out.

Natural gas is good for when the power goes out. I've never seen natural gas go out in my life. If you have an electric stove and the power goes out, you simply can't cook stovetop meals until the power is restored. Oh, and if you're thinking of using a generator to power your house if the grid is out, know that most generators run on natural gas.

Power went out in my area at night the other day. It was easy to spot the guy with the solar panels and home battery. His was a fountain of light in the darkness.

You can use bbq.

IMO that's unavoidable when you're a public company beholden to shareholders who only care about short term stock prices.

OK, maybe not all shareholders are playing the short game, but I feel like a lot of them are.

I miss Tim Apple saying that there were things (accessibility) that Apple did that weren't based on ROI, and people who disagreed should get out of the stock.

That sounds like a great way to get booted out of the CEO position.

In general my impression is that the longer the article title is, the more slanted the article itself is.

Until you come across a system old enough that the coreutils' rm doesn't have that safeguard. And that is how I accidentally'd my OLPC XO's Fedora install.

Ha ha, I think the busybox rm implementation also doesn't have it, be careful, it's present in lightweight containers, even though it's probably a recent thing. Can't speak for MacOS too.

TBF, this safeguard has never saved me, being careful saved me. You can afford to take the time to be careful, because writing the powershell equivalent is probably at least ten times longer (just kidding, or am I?), and clicking buttons in the file explorer is a hundred times longer. Always write the "-rf" after writing the path! I never run rsync without a dry-run, too, even without --delete.

> Then require all nudity to be on a .edu, .art or .xxx, problem mostly solved.

Who's doing the requiring here? Sounds like yet another path to censorship dystopia.

In the case of cc-tlds the respective government... In the case of other TLDs ICANN.

edit: .edu provides for educational content, .art for artistic expression, .xxx for explicit content.

Who decides where the art erotica boarder is? There is plenty of content that would straddle that border, I have seen art that could legitimately called pornographic and pornography i would describe as art. Who decides? And then you have prudes Florida Texas red states trying to prevent remove any thing from an .edu and would happily ban the .xxx entirely and would find any .art suspect and probably ban it.

Out of curiosity, how to Meshtastic and Meshcore compare to Reticulum?

At a glance, Reticulum assumes more resources on a node and more stable and well behaved links than the others, and places a much higher priority on crypto. I don't know how it fares in real world LoRa deployments.

Which is why runtime polymorphism in Rust is very hard to do. The its focus on zero-cost abstractions means that the natural way to write polymorphic code is compiled (and must be compiled) to static dispatch.

Wut, how does that look like AI?

I would! Learning Japanese has been a mind-stretching experience.

And there's just some passages of literature that you can't translate. Or rather, you can but it just doesn't work, simply because the target language doesn't let you structure or rhyme in the same way as the source language. Every language has a potential for generating unique literature simply because each language has a unique vocabulary + sentence structure.
