I checked and this does seem to fit for Switzerland.

Trade deficit of US to Switzerland: 38.5 B
Exports from Switzerland to US: 63.4 B

Ratio of the two: 61%

Half of that as “reciprocal” tariff: 31%

The original developer of Git is Linus Torvalds and he wrote it for the use of developing Linux. He handed off the project to Junio Hamano after a short while who still leads it. They use a process where you submit patches by mail, for Linux and for Git itself too.

To make this easier they have the commands git format-patch, git send-email and git applymbox later changed to git am to apply them. They also added git request-pull to generate a short plaintext email like message to request a pull.

The Pull Request as a bigger concept of data and discussion that should be kept around came from GitHub and was put over top of Git. The concept has been rebuilt by various competitors separately. But it doesn’t match the Linux and Git development model so they never used GitHub Pull Request, even though there is a GitHub mirror of Linux and a GitHub mirror of Git. For them the discussions happens in the mailing list.

So it’s very unlikely they would start including the stuff that was added by others over top, that they don’t need.

My computer doesn’t really break, I’m Ship of Theseus-ing it regularly.

Apart from that, the only one among the normal window based ones that has felt like it respects my will to configure stuff in ways that feel right to me has been KDE Plasma.

I don’t see how this changes anything. Style isn’t copyrightable, so if anything it seems the least concern.

Characters or specific scenes, those are the really juicy bits

And the old WCFAN (We Couldn’t Find A Name) servers, what was it called again, I think hillbreak? That was fun!

Wow, the way they write “best value” on the offer for 8.50 £/month is just brazen.

If you use Office Home 2024 for 120£ for just 15 months or more it’s already cheaper.

I used TexStudio for my Master’s thesis, it worked fine for me. I haven’t done a full survey of available LaTex distributions and tools though :-)

Sure, I’m not opposed either! Just want to make sure people here have the information needed to not be disappointed later.

Coronaviruses are not the only cause for what is considered the “common cold”. I remember that some Rhinoviruses, Adenoviruses and I think a forth family of viruses also cause symptoms that are counted as a cold. It’s kind of a catch all term.

2004

No worries, I just wanted to make sure. I could totally have missed stuff.

25 years so… Tarzan? Lilo and Stitch? The Emperor’s New Groove?

I’m aware of:

• Unbalanced power over 12VHPWR by design, inducing some melting in some cases.
• Missing ROPs on 5080.
• 5070 not reaching 4090 performance levels because that was just a marketing lie.

None of those really seem to apply. Were there any more?

9 years and 4 months ago I bought an Acer laptop with a 4 core Intel Skylake with hyperthreading (i7-6700HQ) and a Nvidia GTX 960M, because the laptop I had was slow for compiling in my classes at Uni, and I wanted a discrete GPU for the occasional game when away from my Desktop PC (winter break and such (still use it for that btw)). I regretted that three times:

• First when I wanted to install Linux instead of just using VMs. In early 2016 the kernels on live system ISOs didn’t properly support Skylake yet, so I fucked around with Arch a bunch, but didn’t end up keeping it installed. Don’t remember why, probably got busy with schoolwork.

• Then a while later, after I had installed Ubuntu or Fedora at some point, the next issue was that cooperative mode of Bluetooth and Wifi on the included Intel wireless chip wasn’t well supported (even found an Intel Bluetooth dev saying as much on a mailing list), and it hung sometimes, so I had to make a script to turn the chip off and then rescan the PCI bus, that worked as a workaround but was still annoying.

• Finally when we had Machine Learning classes I thought I might be able to use CUDA locally, so I tried installing the proprietary Nvidia driver and was greeted by a black screen on the next boot. Had to boot from a live system and chroot in to remove the proprietary crap again.

On my Desktop PC I have used AMD GPUs for quite a while and dual booting Windows and Linux has always been a breeze.

Though they have less immigration, a bunch of those languages originate closer to China than the USA, I bet they can find staff equally well, if they really aim for a 1-to-1 replacement.

Isn’t Voice of America like the USA’s equivalent of Deutsche Welle?

Basically a vehicle for internationally transporting news from the US American perspective?

Trump really hates any and all soft power the USA have available.

I have some doubts. Only small or weird outlets have any news on this and there is no good original source linked anywhere.

The Canadian Press explains a potential path by which this claim could have arisen, namely that Slim’s company América Móvil had stated in an earnings call that they were going to invest 22 billion pesos (! not USD) in infrastructure over three years and they didn’t have plans to invest it in Starlink, instead looking more towards two other satellite companies, and only for rural backbones where laying fiber would be more expensive.

just like they don’t turn off analog radio

Got bad news for you. They are starting in some places.

The Swiss public broadcaster shut down it’s FM channels at the turn of 2024 to 2025, at the end of next year all of the others have to shut down as well. It’s moving to DAB+ only, it’s a big pain for older cars.

I’ve heard Norway is even further along that route than Switzerland.

If you divide an inequality by a negative number you have to flip the sign.

If you want to divide out the g before knowing if it’s positive or negative you need to make the case distinction.

If you make the case distinction and one branch results in a false statement (5 < 2 in this case), you have disproven the original inequality, or at least discovered a constraint on the original inequality. Then you arrive back at FooBarrington’s statement that includes the constraint :-)

I think the thing you’d have to replace is outside the body. Something like this:

I’m not sure an implanted cellular transmitter would even work, given how human tissue absorbs that spectrum.
