What a sad story. Like the one about a grandfather who moves out of the house he built himself, where he lived for 30 years, to move into a nursing home, where he'll be tenderly cared for.

"Here the silhouette in paint of a man mowing a lawn."

Bradbury describes the fully automated smart home, but its technology does obviously not extend into the garden exterior. Funny - that in reality robot vacuum cleaners and robot mowers were actually among the first gadgets in automated smart homes.

I perceive this as a flaw in the story. The author had a very prophetic vision of technology in the future, and with the silhouettes on the wall he produced a strong emotional image, but he didn't realize the contradiction.

Except, of course, if he envisioned manual lawn mowing as a future leisure activity!

This was the project prompt: "Increase the payload vs. overhead mismatch in emails as much as possible and make a business from it. Do not worry about those plain text handfuls."

I am always a little bit puzzled with the versions. I use Emacs from Snap on Ubuntu.

I have to use the pgtk channel, because Wayland.

pgtk/stable is 30.2, pgtk/edge is 32.0.50. Version 31 is not even offered on snap, in none of the channels. I am running on edge (32.0.50) with no problems.

Until around 2000-2004 there have even been 2 Antennas. The whole surrounding forest is a military training ground, obviously used by German Bundeswehr and US forces. There are German and US barracks on opposite ends of the area. Within the vicinity there are an UXO clearance service, K9 school, CQB training village, shooting ranges, lots of bunkers and who knows what.

No, I do not get that deep. I used to exchange data on the Ti-92 plus and the Classpad. Connecting those devices is either rather outdated (serial port with USB converter) and/or comes with vendor subscriptions, which I am not willing to pay.

Maybe, if I had more time ;-)

- I have a HP 16C, mainly for doing number conversions (DEC-HEX-BIN) and binary arithmetic.

- I have a HP 15C to take with me all the time (due to its small form factor).

- I have a HP 48 GX as main calculator, it is most feature complete and has a clock and alarms. I use it a lot for time calculations.

- I have a HP 48 SX, but did not use it much any more after acquiring the 48 GX.

- I have a HP 10bII+, which was a gift of my brother in law when he saw my obsession with HP calculators. I do not use it much, as I am not in financial stuff.

- I have a HP 41 CV, which is less capable as my 48 GX, but I somehow love it so much, that it resides on my desktop and is used a lot.

- I have a Casio Classpad fx-CP400, which I use when I tutor my nephew - it is the best fit for high school requirements (in Germany).

- I have a bunch of TI nspire and voyagers and a TI 83 plus, that I never use.

- I have a TI-92 plus which I used a lot in the past, but I do not like it anymore.

- I have a Casio FX-730P, which I like to write little programs for.

Not to mentions my collection of slide rules.

Exactly!

My original intent was to show up a paradoxon: A group of 5 European NGO activists has been put under a travel ban by the US yesterday. Two of them are german members of an organisation called "HateAid", which provides psychological and legal support for victims of hate speech. They are blamed for supporting Internet censorship (= terrorism in US perception) and are therefore denied entry to the US.

Or, in other words: "We (US) censor them (EU) for supporting censorship."

BTW: I did some research about EU journalists or citizens losing bank access or being put under travel restrictions by administration. I couldn't find an example. Would be great if you could provide some background!

Logic! If the described properties define totalitarianism, then they do so for any value that can truthfully be substituted for XX. I suggest checking this for all ~195 possible values.

The XX is acting in an increasingly restrictive manner, sanctioning journalists and citizens deemed pro-XX or anti-XX. Some of those targeted are reportedly unable to open bank accounts or travel. Some of them are called "stupid" or "pigs". This suggests a growing conviction within the XX that certain viewpoints are acceptable, while others are effectively prohibited and carry tangible consequences. How should this trend be described? Is it a form of totalitarianism, or something else?

Try to find matches for the XX placeholders!

Self-hosted GitLab for proprietary customer projects that I don’t want in the cloud. I don’t trust GitHub’s privacy promises — if only because of the risk of my own misconfiguration. The GitLab server runs on Ubuntu Server on a NUC and is accessed via Tailscale by our very small team. No need to make it visible to the outside world.

Slow, simple, inexpensive, safe, and good enough.

Oh cool, thank you so much!!

For micrograd: is there more documentation available than just the source code in the Github repo?
