Yes, I listed sysvinit for that reason. And Musl instead of glibc. GNU is optional in a Linux distro, except for the kernel’s use of a GNU license.

Sure, I should have gone further.

Systemd/GNU libc/GNU Coreutils/GNU BASH/Linux/X11//GTK/GNOME
Systemd/GNU libc/GNU Coreutils/GNU BASH/Linux/X11/GTK/LXDE
Systemd/GNU libc/GNU Coreutils/Zsh/Linux/X11/GTK/GNOME
Systemd/GNU libc/GNU Coreutils/Zsh/Linux/X11/GTK/LXDE
SysVInit/musl/Busybox/tcsh/Linux/csh
Systemd/GNU libc/GNU Coreutils/Zsh/Linux/Wayland/QT/KDE Plasma
Systemd/GNU libc/GNU Coreutils/Zsh/Linux/Wayland/QT/LXQT

etc, etc.

There are thousands of combinations of the possible layers needed to make an OS.

Systemd/GNU/Linux/GTK or Systemd/GNU/Linux/QT, really…

Tomato soup in a bread bowl, with cheese. Not quiche, the filling isn’t egg-based.

It’s delicious. And since the Italians call just about any round bread with toppings pizza (e.g. Bartolomeo Scappi’s pizza was cake with powdered sugar & saffron toppings) it’s pizza. As is New England clam chowder in a bread bowl!

Swap files are useful if you are still on EXT4 or similar. If you’re using ZFS or BTRFS or BCacheFS, they have no benefits.

No, they orbit around a common barycenter. Even if there were no other bodies in the solar system, that wouldn’t be exactly at the center of mass of the sun.

It’s the NIF. It’s a hydrogen bomb simulator, it’s not intended to become a power production mechanism. Roughly 0% of their budget involves researching how to turn single fusion explosions at most every few hours into continuous power output.

Scales great for getting around nuclear test ban treaties though, much quicker to retest than blowing up Pacific islands.

CPU doesn’t have any secure storage, so it can’t encrypt or authenticate comms to the TPM. The on-CPU fTPMs are the solution, the CPU then has the secure storage.

Lead(II,IV) Oxide (aka red lead) is sometimes used to color low-quality cinnamon to look better. Much like yellow led is sometimes used to color turmeric. Toxic, of course, but profitable!

In presidential systems like the US has legislation originates from congress. The President only has veto power over legislation, and controls the enforcement of existing legislation. They can’t force congress to create new legislation, though of course they can propose legislation (anyone can do that). This is very different from parliamentary systems where the Prime Minister is the head of the majority party of the parliament, and can thus directly propose legislation and get their party to support it.

To be extra pedantic, there are a lot of dash, hyphen, and minus characters, but critically no such thing as a “hyphen-dash”, just “hyphen-minus” or " dash".

Motorola Razr IIRC. First smartphone was a Samsung Galaxy S.

Probably red lead used to disguise low-quality cinnamon.

Mostly joking, but Farenheit is % hot outside.

0°F is 0% hot. Jacket, pants, boots, scarf, etc.

30°F is 30% hot. Shorts, but with boots & an unzipped jacket.

60°F is 60% hot. Shorts, short sleeves, & sandals.

80°F is 80% hot. AC recommended.

100°F is 100% hot. AC or you’ll melt.

120°F is Phoenix, Arizona, a city which should not exist and a temperature which should not exist.

I’m the same way. I’m happy with my life, overall, but of course there are improvements I could make. There is pleasure in achieving something long striven for, and there is displeasure in the striving. More money would achieve some of the things I want more quickly, but none are critical so the balance is better with a longer wait and lower stress.

It was making them trans, not gay.

RF circuits are the same core principles filtered through black magic and the Laplace domain.

Mostly correct. Trump was found guilty of significantly inflating the value of his properties already. There are still charges over falsification of business records, insurance fraud, and conspiracy to commit fraud. Those don’t have guilty verdicts yet. Damages haven’t been decided, as you note.

It’s also worth noting that this is a civil trial. That means that refusal to answer questions can result in “adverse inference” where the assumption will be that the worst possible answer was given (an admission of guilt). It may still be worthwhile to refuse to answer, e.g. under 5th amendment protections to avoid incriminating oneself on criminal charges. Criminal charges can be brought based on testimony given in civil trials, but adverse inference isn’t enough to get criminal charges.

DOH, skipped those two critical letters! Thanks for the correction.

Astronomers already use Julian Dates for various reasons. Right now it’s 2460261.2834606, it’ll be later by the time you read this. Julian dates/times are fractional days starting from January 1st, 4713 B.C. = 0. Just keep counting up from there.
