Haiku comes to mind

That doesn’t make the source code proprietary or non-open, it just means it isn’t a community driven project.

Slackware is still around, no past tense. What makes you think it was closed source?

You are correct, I should have said there was an atomic clock out the window that the walker looked out at.

Because of relativistic effects, from your point of view on the train you would just walk forward. But you would notice a strange effect while the trains were accelerating: your atomically synchronized wristwatch the clock you can see out the window has slowed down and stopped counting time. So it seems that your journey to the front of the train takes no time at all.

From someone standing on the side of the tracks catching a glimpse of you and the train as you whizz by, the front of the train is moving at light speed. You’re at the back of the train completely frozen still, unable to move forward because the front of the train is moving away at light speed.

Weird things happen when you’re talking about the limits of physical reality.

Sound is air vibration

Sound is not exclusive to air, it can be generalized to vibrations in any media. Whale song and dolphin echolocation are certainly sounds, and we’re almost always talking about them propagating in water rather than air.

which has to travel from one place to the next

No, that isn’t how sound works. In air this would be a description of wind, not sound.

just transfer kinetic energy to the adjacenct atom

This is actually a good description of how sound waves propagate.

Also, interplanetary timezones and leaps.

I’m not sure who told you that an installation on a USB thumb drive should boot “almost instantly” - that’s a much slower device than a proper HDD or SSD, and it’s normal for booting off of those to at least take a bit of time. The slow boot and the slow performance when running are probably both the same thing - slow disk I/O. A fast CPU helps run computations quickly, but installing and launching programs involves a lot of writing and reading files, which doesn’t have much to do with CPU speed.

we’re charging you fines in the amount of what it would have cost to buy a house

Oh how I wish I could buy a house for that kind of money. You should go look at what housing costs in Canadian cities.

Never had one, and can’t think of ever having seen one.

Yup, the arugula/balsamic combo is the same way I’ve enjoyed pear pizza. Delicious.

Pear works well on white pizza

MySQL was acquired by Sun Microsystems, which was also the original developer of Java. Oracle acquired Sun. So I’d say any niceness there is in spite of, not because of, Oracle.

Also… Java’s still pretty nice :-)

Your title mentioned GPT as in the partition table. The other user thought about ChatGPT.

Pretty sure the CX-3 is actually a Mazda 2, and the Mazda CX-5 is on the same platform as the 3, just enlarged a bit.

Same. I love watching people play games like Amnesia or the SCP ones, but I could never play them myself.

I can’t see any gif, using Boost.

You’re probably thinking of Isaiah Mustafa

You can check the release notes to be sure, but generally you can just perform the update and move on with life. Backing up your data is always a smart precaution.

It’s also slang for hot people
