@nilesh as an ex-Google privacy person it makes us very happy that people who aren't under NDAs talk about this (you're the second we've seen to mention it, the first was several years ago. might have also been you actually, can't remember)
Zum heutigen #caturday, Mariechen vor über 16 Jahren. Sie hatte als ausgesetztes Kitten einen denkbar schlechten Start. Ihr lautes Geschrei hat ihr das Leben gerettet, noch heute nutzt sie es um sich durchzusetzen oder zu petzen. Bei ihr muss alles seine Ordnung haben 😽
I don't know why we call good human thieves 'Cat Burglars' when actual cats are so used useless at stealing stuff. Bin raided for completely empty wet cat food pouches. She's got them out and didn't know where to go from there.
Note the 'if I'm not looking at you I didn't do it' trick she's playing here. I'm sure that flies in an interrogation room too. Useless I tell you.
I knew that it's Logitech that makes mice for HP, but I've always thought that the design is at least original, well, at the very least that tactile pattern, but…
I mean, it's still different: the form, the magnetic top lid — some other Logitech mice have it BTW, but not this model, HP's is bluetooth-only, unlike the "original", still… I'm rather disappointed, HP could've been more peculiar.
Finally #Gecko ESR 91 is rendering websites on #SailfishOS. I was getting worried it might never get there. All the gory details to follow. 🦎 🐟
it's been almost completely forgotten that the 8086 was intended to be a Pascal machine. C was barely on the horizon when the 8086 was conceived.
which explains at least one apparently bizarre choice: segmented pointers are a whole lot less painful when "pointer" is its own type, and not compelled to behave like an integer
also explains why "ret N" increments the stack pointer after popping the return address; it's intended to pop the caller's parameters off the stack again, which is what Pascal-derived languages want (and the complete antithesis of C)
...of course, given that, it's ironic that the first high level language implemented on the 8086 was Forth, which is possibly the only language to be an even worse fit for segmented addressing than C. oh well
She is always stealing my spot. Mostly because it’s warm but sometimes I suspect it’s for the Internet.

Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
