The pieces of refrigerators that have failed me in the last 15 years have been the plastic parts. A small improvement in plastic quality or engineering seems like it could double the life of the refrigerator. And of course a small plastic replacement part costs $50 or more.

Professional CMake: A Practical Guide by Craig Scott is an excellent guide to modern cmake usage. Well worth the $30 if you need to build, maintain, or modify a CMake project.

I think you should reconsider Proton. It seems to tick all of your boxes except US-based. However, I know they have US-based VPN servers, so I expect they have US-based email servers as well. It’s worth asking their support team about.

I really enjoyed Scavengers Reign. I hope they make another season.

I was also going to suggest Haiku. It’s the spiritual successor to BeOs. I was always disappointed that didn’t become more popular.

I very much want to actively support the ability of people to express themselves as they feel best. If I were to meet you, should I offer encouragement and support, or should I treat the situation as just like any other?

Ah, yes, I live on “St Mary’ ; DROP TABLE street”

Consider how well Lotus Notes handles your form>…>messaging pipeline. Why aren’t we still using an evolution of that? There’s always a shiny new technology that promises to fix all of the problems of the previous ones.

Isn’t this basically how lisp works?

I use Emacs’ Org Mode. It may not be exactly what you’re looking for, but it is highly versatile.

Me too. I could never get into nushell or fish because they’re not posix and I don’t need to learn two ways to do something.

I think the glass doors on the refrigerated coolers that were electronic displays that showed you an ideal image of the drink or whatever was supposed to be inside, but you couldn’t see through them to see if there were any actually on the shelf.

You could, but maybe a good shell makes it easier than the external tool. Or maybe you use the shell to effectively combine the inputs and outputs of the other tools.

He did say he was doing it to learn. Maybe when he’s done he will be able to appreciate what goes into making a viable browser.

Look for something that’s Goodyear Welted. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodyear_welt

They probably won’t be sneaker-style, but are much more repairable.

Well, time to go watch Black Mirror again. You know, the one with the robot dog that hunts you, or the one with the quadcopters that kamikaze tap you on the head with explosives?

Ditching TCP/IP and defining a whole new protocol stack would require your ISP to have routers that know how to route this new protocol without IP addresses. Also, every router between the source and destination would have to support the protocol also. That seems like a huge hurdle. We can’t even get mainstream ISPs to support IPv6 in the last 25 years.

Unless the author intends to layer this on top of IP, which defeats the defined goal.

If you did this, you would be running your own “Internet” with only your own routers connecting to each other.

https://mbasic.facebook.com/ still works. It’s missing some modern niceties, but usable. That’s what I use for occasional messages.

What the hell did NIST ever do to him?
