- "* The header "Vaccines do not cause autism" has not been removed due to an agreement with the chair of the U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee that it would remain on the CDC website."
They kept the header because they legally agreed to keep it, but the rest is conspiracy propaganda.

- Many years ago I played one of her works, Bard's Tale 3: Thief of Fate and enjoyed it very much.
It was a masterful blend of RPG, dungeon crawl, and puzzles and had a memorable soundtrack.

Having a bard in your party let you choose a soundtrack and their songs brought magical effects. For example, the Rhyme of Duotime let your party attack more frequently in combat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oR4j7w4FIY

- What software will those Nvidia servers run?
Are they creating their own software stack or working with one or more partners?
- Who is still using these machines? Genuine question, not trolling.
It looks like the last machines of each architecture were released:
Alpha in 2007
HP-PA in 2008
m68k in pre-2000 though derivatives are used in embedded systems
sh4 in 1998 (though possible usage via "J2 core" using expired patents)
This means that most are nearly 20 years old or older.
Rust target triples exist for:
m68k: https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/rustc/platform-support/m68... and https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/rustc/platform-support/m68... both at Tier 3.
(Did not find target triples for the others.)
If you are using these machines, what are you using them for? (Again, genuinely curious)
- >> What is it with Microsoft and confusing product naming schemes?
You can use Windows App [1] to connect to Windows to run your Windows apps.
- If you eat lots of highly processed food, don't be surprised if it makes you less healthy.
- The license for the project template is clearly indicated.
If you do not agree to the license terms, do not use the project template.
Or, you could contact the project template author and ask if they are willing to sell a commercially-licensed copy to you.
- I don't think AdaCore was involved in the creation of alire:
https://zaguan.unizar.es/record/79726/files/texto_completo.p...
AdaCore does directly contribute to GNAT which is important.
GNAT was chosen for alire since it is free software: "This work presents a working prototype tailored to the Ada compiler available to open source enthusiasts, GNAT."
Other Ada implementations typically use their own build systems which are different from GNAT's and so they would probably need changes to work with alire.
- If you cannot run the software you want on your device, is it really your device?

Like the Privacy Act of 1974?
"The Privacy Act prohibits the disclosure of information from a system of records absent of the written consent of the subject individual, unless the disclosure is pursuant to one of twelve statutory exceptions."

Federal agencies are subject to this law and these actions are violations of the law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privacy_Act_of_1974#Under_the_...
- >> Are there any anti-AI religions yet?
No. The Butlerian Jihad (https://dune.fandom.com/wiki/Butlerian_Jihad) hasn't happened yet.
I would guess that something similar could exist in the Terminator / Skynet timeline, but I am not aware of the religious beliefs of the humans struggling there.

- >> Microsoft keeps adding stuff into Windows we don't want
Of course they are.
Copilot and Recall are not what most users want, but they are what Microsoft wants:

- Prototype in Python with PLY (https://github.com/dabeaz/ply) or you could try Raku (https://raku.org/) which has nice functionality for building grammars.
After you know what you want to build, you could convert it to C, C++, or Rust to make it fast.
- You could look at BeOS to get an idea and then try to extrapolate and adapt your estimates for today's market and circumstances:
Thank you for creating DEP-18 and pushing it forward.
As an aspiring Debian developer, learning the Debian packaging tools and procedures has been a challenge.
There are many different packaging tools and they work quite differently from other command line tools I use for software development on Linux.
DEP-18 will help to bring Debian's procedures closer to what the industry follows and lower the barriers for new contributors. I hope it gets adopted.
