He’s what it takes to keep doing it for years. Relentlessly. The good kind of a nut. Might be hard to work with, I would not be surprised.

Cobol mavens burned both ends of the candle and made bank, while making banks work.
Many were old enough to retire after that.
Did you mean Media Access Controllers, or macOS?
Nah, a lot of us around the world just use The Four Ingredients, and prefer bread that is simpler yet tastier. Your numbers might be very regional.
Hm, I guess an encyclopedia article is more relevant than a dictionary definition, so sure. I was using the looser secondary definition… in this case an elision that references a dialect in order to call up regional relevance to the opinion expressed.
I dunno, cf. 1.b definition of idiom in the OED: dialect usage, and 2.a is dialect usage for effect. Maybe the definition is changing with the ages, or your usage is overly strict.
Well we can argue over the niceties of the word idiom, but as it’s referring to the way the word is pronounced in specific regions of North America, it qualifies as meeting one of the definitions of idiom.
Elision refers more to the absence of an understood word, such as saying ‘my bad’.
My bad, elision can also refer to slurring syllables together, so it’s both.
In the English language, specifically North American dialects, this is a form of idiom.
Nah, the commenter calls out Israel in other threads.
I thought it was just a troll account but madlian has posted 200+ comments on a 1 week account and is not agitating or a contrarian, is not even wrong most of the time, just contemptuous and enjoys being an asshole.

Yes, we call that “structural racism”.
Can confirm, I live out in the countryside with only coax available, and a measly 1Gbit down 150Mbit up and 9 - 11ms ping. No caps.
Wait, that’s awesome and steady and reliable. Expensive sure but with heavy multiperson usage and no noticeable issues, I am wondering WTF you’re on about unless it’s some weird edge case?
Maybe you are referring to predatory business practices like oversubscribed lines? That’s not a technical problem.
Thanks for bringing that up, trying to justify atomic bombs that way is specious reasoning.
During his feature length interview in The Fog of War, MacNamara said explicitly that if they had lost the war, he and his team would have been tried for war crimes. He cries a bit at one point while describing the firebombing of wooden cities, at how it was worse than the atomic bombs they dropped.

We have many alternate routes toward national self-reliance, but they aren’t neoliberal enough for bankers and oligarchs… Carney’s main clients.
As a simple example, the housing crisis really started to hurt when the Mulroney and the subsequent neoliberal governments withdrew from social housing. This is not an isolated issue, look around the world and observe that the only governments dealing with the problem are actively committed to publicly owned housing on a grand scale.
We can decommodify our way out of many false or unnecessary scarcity issues. An additional economic multiplier at a time of need would be the keynsian stimulus of unions building out our solutions.
Of course, this is contrary to letting the Market decide, so nah. We get commodity solutions at fake discounts. More capital flowing upwards until it’s too late.
?! Have you seen a M4 chip in action? Low energy, high performance. Silent computers, long battery life. Good value on a simple benchmark basis. Not credibly last year tech.
Pre-ARM Macs, sure, but that was five years ago.
Lots of other hardware issues to complain about, however.
Generally, Safari was kind of middling in function and design until around 2018, when it got more streamlined or something; at least, its apparent performance improved over the other browsers on macOS. It was novel on Windows but pretty limited and just, meh.
Edit: I forgot, the clean, minimalist, ad free reader view on the windows version was very nice to have. Long time ago!
