Which TRS-80 exactly? There were a wide variety of Radio Shack computers.

I was in Provincetown the week after July 4th, when the major outbreak was underway. Of my friends, 100% were vaccinated, 100% got sick. Thankfully nobody has needed hospitalization, but Delta changes the game, even with vaccination.

If Apple was only about blocking malware from their appstore, that would be fine. But that is not even remotely the limit of what they do. Apple decides what content you can show to users, on phones that they paid for. Want to show something even remotely mature in your app, designed for adults? You are banned. Want to offer people a way to pay for your services that doesn't involve the appstore? Banned.

If for no other reason to allow people to choose whether to be censored or not, the single appstore model needs to be broken up. Apple should have no say in the way that companies communicate with customers. If you want to mark an app as mature audience, then fine. If you want to "warn" people that the app uses a non apple payment system, then fine. But the censorship, where only Apple decides what you do with the phone that you paid for, needs to stop.

But the description you just supplied is EXACTLY how DLLs work on Windows. A DLL is a file, and your application loads it into memory. The notion of DLL hell is not caused by Windows; it is an issue that any shared library can face when the developers of that library release new versions with breaking changes. If your app always loads the default version of the DLL that is registered in the Registry, and there is a breaking update, it can be an issue. The resolution on Windows is to keep a separate copy, or parallel copies with needed versions. This is the exact same way it is handled on Linux.

Maybe they could chip and and pay some federal taxes while they are feeling generous?

There is only ONE app store for iOS. That is literally the exact opposite of a free market.
It is the very definition of a monopoly, which historically are under greater scrutiny to stop abuse.

Every time they tried to add his resume to the blacklist, it just disappeared.

This is _exactly_ why I do not work for Amazon. Because after an all day interview, including being interviewed during lunch so I couldn't actually eat, I was asked to stand at a whiteboard and design a novel algorithm and write accurate Perl code from memory. (I should mention that my job at Disney involved writing great Perl code all day, and I did just fine. No thanks to Bezos and his grist mill.)

I should also mention that one of the first things I saw when I walked in was a young woman standing at her desk, just crying. And everyone walking by acting like that was a perfectly normal thing to see there. And when I went to the lunchroom, not a single person was smiling, or laughing, etc. They all just looked beat down. By the time the whiteboard came up, I had already decided I didn't want to work there.

If they had used PKI Encryption and Digital Signatures, technology that has been available for DECADES, they could have authenticated that message properly and prevented spoofing. To be performing transfers based on unauthenticated email is absurd.

That was my exact thought as well. Everything here suggests a driver who was not fully aware. I am not familiar with the Tesla thrust levels, but was does 42% thrust imply - maintaining cruise or acceleration?

The system keeps a complete timestamp of events on the log. They can tell exactly how much time has passed between shutting off the assist and the crash.

The car almost certainly starts sending log data as soon as it detects a crash. Even if the accident were so severe the car went up in flames, the system could likely upload all of that data long before the fire prevents it.

That hasn't been true since the 1970s.

Calling it 'girly crap' is both offensive and ignorant. Many of the people who operated and programmed those systems were WOMEN.

That question is absurd. A straight linux nerd? Please.
