I share things like this to elicit responses from people with severe confirmation bias.

Anything is possible; but relays and clients have the option to ignore anything too. So there is no reliable way to delete a note once it has been published.

Just trying primal. Looks like fun.
I still have my original copy. I keep it in a ziploc bag. It still smells of campfire smoke.

K&R! I remember reading this while sitting at my backyard campfire in 1978. I was an assembly language programmer and had sworn I would never use a big horky language like Pascal. But then, as I read K&R I realized that C was just an abstract assembly language; and I was hooked for life.

Long term decline in population?
From: pam<-DerekRoss at 08/03 12:14
> Very interesting. I don't know Canada enough other than their nicety :) But it seems like an aftermath of too many short term strategies and quick fixes. I'd reckon immigrants are mostly knowledge based society? Did not know of the pump and dump of foreign investments but why would real estate be considered to eventually be half the value of today's amount ? I always thought it was the other way around

Canada is doomed.
They are a joy to fly. 160kts at 65% power. 4.5-5 hour range. I can fly ~1000 miles without refueling.

The CAPS system has been remarkably successful. There is no incidence of a fatality when the CAPS system has been used within its specified operating envelope.
There are many remarkable cases where it saved lives. In once case there was a mid-air collision between an SR22 and a cargo hauler at a Denver airport. Everyone lived. The Cirrus pilot pulled his chute, and the two occupants walked away. The cargo hauler landed only to find that the roof of his cargo area had been torn away.
There's another case where a ferry pilot was hauling an SR22 from LA to Hawaii. He was carrying a large fuel bladder but was unable to transfer the fuel from the bladder to the wing tanks while over the mid Pacific. He flew over to a cruise ship, pulled the chute, and they rescued him with a dingy.

> Thanks for your clarification. It still seems unpossible for me to bring an aircraft safely down with a parachute. 🤯 On the other hand those modern aircraft are so light. The Pipistrel Velis, I am flying, has an empty weight of only 428kg. So cool.

We have, at last, returned from our Southern Sojourns. I am now back in my Illinois home and am preparing to depart for our Northern Hideaway. Busy days down south. No time for more-speech or any book writing. But that will soon be remedied.
I don't know. There were several.

Yes to the parachute. It's a nice security blanket; but given a nice plowed field I'd probably opt to keep control as long as possible and put her down in a traditional forced landing. The airplane has airbags in the seat restraint system so even a rough landing would likely be pretty "safe".

Surprisingly based report by KPMG (top 4 global consulting firm) on Bitcoin
Even talks about the blocksize wars when discussing Bitcoin’s governance 👌

I'm glad you are enjoying the TDD discipline. The teammate issue is always a challenge. Keep at it, and keep pairing with them. Most of all, have fun!

> C++ is my professional work craft,which means I know most of its flaws and limitations. I hate it but need it 😂
I was once trapped within a C++ bubble. But then I found Clojure; and since then life has been bliss.
It's been two weeks of grandchildren. Driving the new (fishmobile) car IL->LA->TX->LA. I'll be home again late Monday if all goes to plan. There has been little time for nostr, or more-speech, or book writing, or anything else. I'm looking forward to getting back to a normal routine.
i see people say that all of the time and still have no clue what that means. call me nostr:npub1t3ggcd843pnwcu6p4tcsesd02t5jx2aelpvusypu5hk0925nhauqjjl5g4 on this one.

Um... No.
OO was "discovered" in 1967 by Ole Johann Dahl, and Kristian Nygaard when they extended Algol to help with discrete event simulation. The result was the Simula 67 language which influenced both Bjarne Stroustrup and Alan Kay. In the early 80s Stroustrup, at Bell Labs, went on to create C++ while Kay, at Tektronics, went on to create Smalltalk. The ideas spread and by the mid 80s, influenced by Smalltalk, Objective-C had started to become popular. By 1986 Stroustrup's C++ began to overtake Objective-C and in the early 90s became the standard at Sun. Meanwhile IBM was pushing Smalltalk. Sun won that battle and began to shift C++ to Java. Microsoft, in order to compete for influence over the internet, copied Java and created C#.
The GOF book was adapted from many uears of experience in Smalltalk and C++, and the patterns it describes are still very useful today -- even in functional languages like Scala, F#, and Clojure.
Go is a nice language, but it's inventors were the inventors and maintainers of C and C++, so there was no path to Go without going through those languages first.
And, no Flying cars are not in the offing until someone invents anti-gravity. ;-)

> If you’d take another path, you’d arrive faster and In better shape. OOP wasn’t organic, it was pushed top to bottom by a few architects working for Sun, Borland and Microsoft. Damn Green Team and Gang of Four have corrupted millions of innocent programmers minds, lol. BTW I’m not talking “we could’ve had Functional future”, even now it is out of mental reach for most. But if Go - like language would emerge instead of Java, we might‘ve had flying cars…
