Not really: https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share

Firefox is irrelevant. Which explains why they support things like this.

If you can't win by building better software you can win by bullying anyone else who does.

For something similar from the same time: https://archive.org/details/MusicOnThePDP1X/02+Little+Fugue+...

Adding a few sine oscillators to the MIT PDP-1 (yes 1) and then togging them really fast to build up notes and scores.

It's a lot quieter than it used to be.

Even worse for planes on flight radar 24.

It's pretty insane that I can track what ship is where on the other side of the planet in real time.

Then build a new condo there because of the rich culture and force the festival to shut down at the new location.

I've had to deal with gentrification before, the only time I've seen it lose was when someone took a tractor and ploughed asbestos into the ground around the proposed site. The clean up costs were in the billions and the projects died because of all the bad publicity. The site getting known as the toxic exclusion zone was just the cherry on top.

Not overly. The Great Oxidation Event nearly destroyed all life on the planet. If it wasn't for a mutation that allowed life to live in an oxygen rich environment Earth could have gone the say way as Venus.

Yes, rape is a bad thing that gets reported in other countries too.

>You can embrace acceptance that people are different and realize that differences make some people better and worse for certain things.

I find it astonishing that blatant abelism like yours is acceptable in polite society.

>You can embrace acceptance that genders are different and realize that differences make some genders better and worse for certain things.

>You can embrace acceptance that races are different and realize that differences make some races better and worse for certain things.

Odd that none of the teens Epstein slept with would be illegal to sleep with in Germany. Pedophilia is starting to mean 'sex I find icky' in the US.

When I can call you sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, sexist and a nazi before breakfast addressing the issues misses the point of why the issues are being raised.

Pretending that these people have any morals past gathering power is as stupid as pretending that the mob burning down your restaurant is your fault for not installing enough sprinklers to put out napalm.

That sounds like 3 years of work given how much it has improved between this version and 0.14 which is the last one I used extensively.

The AST and the parse tree are basically the same. You only need to rename the bracket nodes to their first element.

Amazing how neither sleep deprivation psychosis nor frost bite are a thing if you're rich enough and talking about how virtuous you are.

It's absolutely incredible that I can't buy a processor and be able to run a command on the bare metal. We don't even know how many levels of indirection between x86 machine code and actual hardware there are.
