You do realize that the US alt right propaganda channels like Fox News would salivate over this title, right? They’ll gladly use it to imply that Azov is in the United States for some crazy conspiracy theory reason.

For a loose definition of “me” and more “my parents when I was young” was a mid-70’s Fiat. I have lots of memories where we waited in some parking lot or by the freeway for a tow truck or some other help to arrive.

There’s tiny bits of real city around the US. It’s usually leftover fragments that managed to survive through the carpocalypse of the 30’ to today.

There are very few real city places larger than a 1/4 sq mile here.

According to Fox News, President Obama is still president and so is Traitor Trump. Everyone is president, depending upon who is watching at the moment to stir up one kind of hatred or another.

I had a Pentium I 120 MHz Packard Hell machine. It came with Win95 OSR 1 and I loved that beast. I upgraded the disk (1.1 GB to 3.1GB!) and the RAM up to 40MB. The screen was a 13" fishbowl so I get a Sony Trinitron 15" screen eventually.

The combo modem/fax/sound ISA card wasn’t worth keeping, but I got a PCI Sound blaster as well as a 3Com 3c905 fast 10/100 Ethernet card. I had one of the best machines in the dorm for a while. Warcraft II played so very good.

The Linux support in RedHat 5.2, then through 6.2, and sometimes Mandrake, OpenBSD, and some other distros was great. As long as you set the IRQs in the bios right it worked like a dream.

I turned down a professorship position at a uni in part because they used windows for the whole curriculum. It would have driven me crazy having to use windows given how annoying it is for dev work. I put value on my sanity and it wasn’t worth the modest pay bump to be driven batty every day.

I likely get to teach an IoT class next term. It’s going to be so much fun with SBC systems running Linux and Arduino sensor systems! That’s worth a ton to me.

The summary that I liked from the last post was “python is the second best language for everything”. There’s always something specialized and better for every given job. But, if you want one tool that’ll do a solid job everywhere, python is your go to.

Build some damn trains! Our cities are sprawling car-infested shitholes compared to more modern city designs around the world.

A single freeway interchange costs as much as a big light rail network for a medium sized city. It would transformative to build some modern infrastructure for once.

Combine that with educating city councils on how zoning laws and architectural rules determine how a city’s space is used (usually very inefficiently and with ugly buildings). We’re making a sprawling, bland wasteland out of the beautiful American landscape by sheer ignorance and short sighted greed.

The Night Watch in Amsterdam is enormous. It’s awesome inspiring to stand before it.

The Rijks Museum in Amsterdam was huge. Couldn’t get though it all ina visit.

Same goes for the Natural History Museum in Vienna. Oh! And Berlin’s Museum Island is a wonder of the world. Just so much to see.

This approach is so much nicer than the threading/queuing approaches we used to have. One async showed up, a ton of the work go pulled out of protocol handing and distributed subsystem sync efforts.

Long lived the multi threaded C++ server buffer! Today, async beging to rule the roost.

Aw darn it. Now I’m reading your posts with an Australian accent in my head.

I’ve been accused of being a bot in online games due to my robust vocabulary, resistance to abbreviation and slang, as well as pedantic punctuation use. It has been happening for decades.

Note: rarely have I been accused of a being a bot for my skill at gameplay. We all have our strengths and weaknesses.

Now, if you wish to truly delve the depths of linguistic proclivities, one should peruse the works of Terry Pratchett, especially the Discworld novels. Any and all of his works are wonderful prose and deep storytelling.

Yes. A 12 year old is better at handling Alt-Right misinformation than the main steam media journalists.

The Bundes Committee on Humor is not set to meet for another biennium cycle. Until then, no proposals for next joke shall be heard.

At one point my 1GB disk was the “big one” in the dorm. It was the windows share of some random media. I had room for the whole 40MB videos “Jesus vs Frosty” (The Spirit of Christmas) and “Jesus vs Santa Claus”. It was before South Park became an actual show, but people watched those 100’s of times off my hard drive.

When I bought a 3GB from Fry’s it was an open question how we’d fill it. Of course, that was just as the mp3 codec started to gain traction… Problem solved.

All $5 mil? Yup.

He’s a grifting liar and traitor to the Republic. The $5mil is just the start. The Smartmatic defamation suit is just getting started and he’s out of money for lawyers.

He probably sold his moustache to pay for bus fare because that’s eventually where everyone who support the felonious king of con ends up.

Run, Greg, Run!

I don’t know what she brings to the party, but this is likely one of many red flags she’s been waving. Just because you go through with the wedding doesn’t mean the flags vanish.

Edit: just noticed the date on the sign. RIP, Greg. Good luck to you.

“Weird conman doesn’t pay his bills” news at 11.

At what point are cities, municipalities, contractors, and everyone else learn what lawyers already know: get cash up front from the ex president because he won’t pay afterwards.

Oh, and always have two people on your team there for every conversation because he’ll like about everything said afterwards and you’ll need the two people testifying during the deposition and resulting court case.

Surprise! A right wing candidate is in support of a very right wing candidate: news at 11.
