Funny read but there's so many wrong assumptions are made in the article.

'ground' is just an idealized concept.

The switch could be connecting ground trace to the casing or make a long antenna

Physical switch has capacitance, etc...

> Now we have smartwatches with 4GB of RAM (rolls eyes). WTF do they even do with all that memory?

Probably running a web browser or more

I use both ImHex and Kaitai struct, give it a try maybe you'll like it

A lot of unity games does it, especially the 'legacy' serializer

> would you include all the quoted text in the reply-alls, or is that too much?

Only quote the relevant part and reply to it, just like this very comment.

And Linux has a large mailing archive of various lists and threads that are searchable and available to everyone and get this: free access

I don't fly and I wouldn't call my self someone that plays a lot of flight simulator. But I do enjoy navigation methods and I did learn the basics and practices of VOR navigation. I got an Android app that simulates flying courses, holding patterns etc, but only the navigation part. I would say I learned some intuition to it.

If I stab at your teddy bear will you feel that it is hurt?

Yes it will gain consciousness. You can't prove it but other people can't prove that it's not conscious either

> And yet they have the most coal plants, and the most coal plants under construction. This comparison includes India.

Well yeah, but not in Beijing

You can start by changing only the extra package url to the aarch64 arch linux. Do keep in mind that while the aarch64 pkgbuilds are official arch, the package building and distribution is community. they're currently compiling for armv8.2, while some are maintaining armv8, and these mismatch can cause program to crash with illegal instructions and what not.

As much as I am an avid arch linux fanboy, I don't think it's a good choice for "an appliance", the frequent update might cause unnecessary wear and tear for the storage chips if they use flash memory/sd card.

Lazy me would often update pacman database and upgrade just a few packages. Living dangerously but often times it doesn't really matter

If reproducible build is important maybe consider NixOS?

> Postal codes resolve to town (町域) level — that's how Japan's postal system works. Users still type the block/building portion themselves.

'town' might be misunderstood. The postal code resolve to area probably less than 1km^2. Not specific enough to be a block, but I wouldn't call that a town either

I only got to know calculix because that's one of the FEM solver FreeCAD use

"after the query has returned from the database"

I have a lot of fighting against Spring / Hibernate for this. It doesn't let me do cartesian product because the query builder thinks it needs a cartesian product, I can't select only some of the columns without making a whole new data structure while fighting the ORM that thinks one table = one class, can't query from a joined table.

I don't have any issue with mapping using these query builders like jooq which lets you use generated class from the live db for simple use case and give you other mechanism for querying weird joins or aggregates.

What sort of perks of ORM after the query has returned do you find to be helpful?
