State sponsored monopolies is my vote. It's a failure of government to have fewer than ten players (non-Trusting) in any industry.

Most people, most of the time, should not be taking subscription medication.

It's a fix not a lifestyle. Those with chronic conditions sure wish they didn't need to.

Yeah I've heard this my whole career, and while it sounds great it's been long enough that we'd be able to list some major examples by now.

What are the real world chances that a) one's compiled code benefits strongly from runtime data flow analysis AND b) no one did that analysis at the compilation stage?

Some sort of crazy off label use is the only situation I think qualifies and that's not enough.

That would make it discontinuous, which means there's no information beyond the integer.

I think, though I don't know how I'd prove, that anyone truly used to an analogue wristwatch probably only looks at the hour hand when casually checking.

Many watches don't even have face markings.

IDK, not having to worry about wifi, about if the ISP bill was paid, if the signal reaches their room, if they can do their school work while away from home, at a grandparents, etc. etc. Seems like an expensive but worthwhile call.

  systemd-networkd now implements a resolve hook for its internal DHCP
      server, so that the hostnames tracked in DHCP leases can be resolved
      locally. This is now enabled by default for the DHCP server running
      on the host side of local systemd-nspawn or systemd-vmspawn networks.

Stallman was right. Thankfully this seems like it should be relatively easy to replace. If anyone knows a friendly hacker collective to point this way...

env bash is all well and good for normies, but if you're already on NixOS did you know you can have nix-shell be your interpreter and back flip into any reproducible interpreted environment you like?
