    I hope they compensate him for taking half his life away. And that they discipline the employee who knew but left the man in prison for six more years.

    @clacke I also saw people talking about the main #Rust group threatening trademark complaints against gcc-rust. I did not follow any links to learn more.

    @clacke I did just download GNAT because of some #Ada threads. I have never used #Oberon, #Modula-2,#Modula-3 ( or even #Modula-1 ), but I did use #Pascal in the late 1990s.

    @clacke I don't know if it still exists, but in USA, Excedrin (brand name) combined aspirin / ASA, acetominophen, caffeine. Claimed to be superior.

    Though I've seen medical folks claim that acetominophen's effective dose and its toxic dose are too close together.

    > Automakers pointed to an existing system that distributes warnings across AM, FM, internet-based or satellite radio and over cellular networks.

    > "This is simply a bill to prop up and give preference to a particular technology that's now competing with other communications options and adapting to changing listenership," the automaker group said.

    No, that's not true. I was recently in #Alabama and found that cellular alerts were inconsistent at best. Two people might be sitting next to one another with cellular phones on different networks. One will get an alert and the other may not alert at all ... or if they do, it may be twenty minutes or more later than the first, which can be too late.

    Alerts on various television channels (OTA broadcast, cable, satellite) get divided into small fractions and are often just a text crawler across the bottom of the screen ... if you're not looking, you don't know.

    That leaves AM and FM radio ... and NOAA weather radio. Honestly, NOAA's system is best, because even if you're not presently listening, your weather radio will pick up the alert and activate itself, blaring an alarm and then playing the messages. But for people who don't have NOAA radios or don't know how to set one up ... or for people travelling in vehicles, AM radio is by far the best option (for example, there are AM stations that can be heard for hundreds of miles in the evening), though I think the FCC may wish to set aside a specific AM channel / frequency for localized emergency alerts, such that car radios can quietly monitor for alerts in their area and automatically switch to said alerts.

    Now, there was at one point an attempt to mandate that all cellphones include FM radio capability "for emergency purposes". I thought at the time (and still do) that AM radio is better for that purpose.

    This may not be something that should have to be mandated, but on the other hand, there are relatively few automakers and it takes a lot of capital and approvals to enter the business, so they are immune to persuasion via targeted market forces such as boycotts or brand recommendations.

    Jaime was the Pac-Man champion of our local store who was awarded 2nd place at the areawide championship.

    (I think my landlord's son Frank was an even better player, but he rarely played close to home. He used to go to an arcade on the other side of town until some drunk thirty-somethings had a fight there.)

    #Armbian on the #Orange_Pi 5 ... in order to minimize wear on flash storage devices, /var/log is mapped to a 50MiB chunk of zram. I'm finding that logrotate isn't clearing things out quickly enough, so anything that logs gets 'no space left on device' errors. That includes apt/dpkg.

    I mentioned to #sonOne that I was trying to keep up with his nephew #GS3 in learning about tornadoes and hurricanes. Says he: An adult trying to keep up with a toddler's unlimited energy and curiosity? I'm betting on the 4 year old.

    @clacke That's the first sign that you're being absorbed. Next thing you know, you'll be listening to country music and shopping for a giant pickup truck.

    @fu I think it is. Both the Mises link and the Wikipedia link mention his unz\.com site.

    Damn, he wove most of that out of whole cloth. Yes, I've seen the articles speculating about the thongs he calls facts and then infers beyond it. But I can see why unz.com is mentioned by the same ultra right wingers who idolize Putin's "strong leadership". He didn't seem like such a kook when he ran for governor.

    I remember that Jaime was head over heels when Madonna's Borderline came out. He left the old neighborhood, but he is one of a small number who returned.

    Speaking of tropical cyclones, Super #Typhoon #Mawar is bearing down on the island Territory of#Guam and #CNMI's island of Saipan. Last I heard, it was on the borderline of category 5.

    @clacke My 4 year old grandson's curiousity is sparking some major learning for me. I had one meteorology course many years ago, but I'm doing more reading and watching more videos about tropical cyclones (hurricanes, typhoons) and tornadoes than ever before.
