Not sure, how active development is right now, but EdgeOS got forked from an open source devian based distro after that went commercial.

But EdgeOS was not the only fork, another one was VyOS (vyos.io). Pretty sure, that EdgeOS has done larger steps forward, especially, since it was bound to the hardware's developer.

From the examples he mentions, aren't these just "race conditions"?

The research implies, that bi-sexuality is based on genes, rather than psychological development. Did I miss something?

> Renewables are not a complete solution, you need a backup for when the wind down't blow and the sun don't shine.

You can't just switch off and oon a nuclear plant. It is not good as a backup solution.

> But turning off perfectly fine reactors that have already been paid for and are producing tons of CO2 free electricity in a so-called "climate emergency" is incompetence that's indistinguishable from malice.

Well, while this is by no means scientifically sound, between 2011 (the year Merkel decided to get rid of the nuclear power plants) and 1954 (the year the first such power plant got available for civilian production) there were two worst accidents and one half. Using this data there was a catastrophic accident every 22.8 years, luckily not in our neighbourhood.

> Hamas definitely started this particular fist-fight.

A few months before the Hamas attack, the Israeli minister of finances, Bezalel Smotrich (who also is tasked with the responsibility for administrating the occupied West Bank) said: "There is no such thing as the Palestinian people":

I am horrified by the Hamas attack, shocked and sad, but not surprised.

Did you know, that the British, during WWII, bombarded German settlements, holding mostly women, children and elderly, on purpose ("Area bombing directive")? In Germany they still call it: "Bombenterror gegen die Zivilbevölkerung", or, "Bombing terror against the civilian population". Here is the Wikipedia article on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_bombing_directive

I do not take any side in this conflict. I think, both sides are monsters. But feeling this way, I can not tolerate one sided commenting, that paints one side as "reasonable" while not accepting what the other side has to endure.

I was always a vinyl guy. At least up into the late 90's, when digital sound engineering started to become on par with analog. At least for my taste.

I will never forgive myself, that I didn't buy tons and tons of vinyl at the end of the 80's, early 90's, when they could be had for cents/piece. Admittedly I was a very poor student back then, but I should have spent less money on party and more money on vinyl.

Please integrate up to date XML technologies. In addition, please make it like the XUL based Mozilla.

For me it was the opposite!

I wandered around the Louvre and didn't even think about the Mona Lisa being part of the exhibition. So I came from rooms, filled with huge paintings of old masters, into this small room, that was packed with visitors. I was astound and asked myself: "What is going on in here?", turned around and...THERE SHE WAS <gasp>!

Well placed beneath a sheet of the thickest armored glass I've ever seen! And she was so tiny! But: she smiled at me. And it was real! As, if this woman would be alive and you see her in a cafe two desks next to you!

I don't think she is so famous, because of this theft. She is famous, because she gives the viewer the impression of a real, alive person looking at you.

Will OSM incorporate this information into their own map?

Since when?

No, it's the fact, that microbes, that have been outside of our ecosystem for so long remind a lot of people on the fall of the Aztec Empire...

LOL, wanted to say the same: DO NOT TOUCH!

> It's a shame it's a Windows-only product.

WinUAE: yes. But UAE, the core, is multi-platform.

I don't think Usenet failed. It declined. It was a platform for "first hour" internet users, the early "internet natives", mostly nerds, like us.

When the masses appeared on the "intarwebs" the web would be the place to go, with all it's flashy hypermedia and uniform way of use (no separate client needed, same philosophy, etc.)

The Usenet simply got replaced by web forums.

Each time I search for something, the first two, three pages, maybe even more, are just shops and affiliate link sites, that offer the thing I want information about. At least, if thing is a product. Not a single forum reference. I need to add the keyword "forum" in order to get such results. To me that is typical corporate degeneration and decline. Too big to fail, to trashy to be relevant any longer, instead, however, omnipresent.

Or your children lost/forgot the key and nobody is at home.

It's not. It's much more simple, than anything else I know. XPath, and its higher-up XQuery make it a breeze! XSD, while not perfect, can be easily displayed as a graphical diagram. What you, however, need, and there is no way around it, is a specialized XML IDE or an IDE, that has "understood" XML.

"Human readable" in XML lingo means, actually, "Human readable after transformation". Or: add some CSS to it and it's easily consumable.

I said: > I do not think one should reject any social privileges one has

to which you replied: > Putting barriers up to prevent this sort of thing

If you reread my comment, you may find, that I mentioned explicetly, not to put barriers on "this sort of thing" but instead respecting the fact, that some people just have no chance to enter a group, without the group taking additional steps in finding them.

Americans (just a wild guess, that he is one) seem to have two strange phobiae: Herpes and French people.

> And don’t bring socioeconomics into it;

In 2003, right before a few new nations entered the European Union, the EU had set up several websites, where people from the new, soon to be, member nations could inform themselfes about each of the current EU member states.

The document describing Germany mentioned, under the chapter "Employment", that 80% of all jobs in Germany get distributed via social connections. Now I am still in shock and it may be, that this includes the employment office, but the chances to get a good job, as either an immigrant or a socially marginalized person, is low.

So, bringing socioeconomics into play is totally acceptable.

I do not think one should reject any social privileges one has, but one also should respect, that this is not the case for everybody and do something about it.

I remember this already happening in Usenet times with IMDB, which got bought by Amazon. Or CDDB.

> What are some projects that would make someone stand out for AgTech Robotics stuff?

I guess, in addition to the typical engineering stuff (AI, robotics, etc.) to work with these companies on startup-level, a passion for agriculture, especially historical agriculture, might be what could set you apart from competition.

> [...] since they managed to write in killing off all of humanity.

Thanks for the spoiler! Now I don't need to watch it. Bah!

It seems to target AROS.

Seems a label "Racist" (etc.) could be needed.

Care to elaborate for the smaller chunk? ;-)

> Use Go if you're looking for an easy GC language with max productivity and a decent performance ceiling.

Why not D?

This is one of the best news I have read in a while! It's so nice to see people having a change of mind, using their profiteering skills to help others in need and, lastly, to see something useful coming out of "Blockupy", which I always had hope to have more impact on society.

I remember the goold ole' days, when XUL based Firefox could be programmed to act like a Shell to the WWW.
