I still find it very curious that after Russia invaded Ukraine, now Trump is using rhetoric that makes it look like the US is ready to invade some other country, too, they just have not decided on the victim yet.
And of course "start a war with another country" is an excellent example of how to control your country in case you have to, because, say, elections are coming up and you may loose.
Trump seems to have been following Russian advice throughout his political career. It started in 1987:
> Moscow at the invitation of Soviet ambassador Yuri Dubinin, in a private jet accompanied by “two Russian colonels”
and then after he ran full page ads attacking NATO. Not much has changed there really.
I'm surprised that all he has to do is say "russia russia hoax" and then the voters forget about it. I think maybe people have some similar failure modes to LLMs.
I am old enough to have lived in Germany when they were not coin operated, and most carts were returned at that time as well.
Though occasionally you saw a cart far far away from a supermarket, where someone had basically stolen it, either teenagers to have fun, or someone asocial who, I don't know, used to carry all the shopping home? I don't really know what they did with it.
And it was the cost of replacing those stolen carts that drove the adaption of the coin operation system. Not that people just left them in the parking lot. Some supermarkets also tried a system where the cart locked if you moved it out of range of some radio in the supermarket, but that one really didn't take off.
(Also, quite a few people in Germany just do shopping by walking or biking to the supermarket).
I actually migrated from Homebrew to Macports after ending up in dependency hell in Homebrew with Postgresql + Postgis, and not being able to fix this properly even with my own brew recipes.
So for now that works a lot better in Macports. The portfile stuff needed some digging to understand, but that's doable.
Not sure what made you move from Macports to Homebrew. (Should I worry?)
Unlike the IBN 5100 [1] (which I guess actually was IBM's First Laptop Computer), the 5140 ran MS-DOS, and couldn't emulate the IBM/360 ISA like the IBN 5100 could, so it would be useless for John Titor because you couldn't hack SERN with it.
Try exporting things from Excel to CSV on a Mac with non-us locale.
Some genius at Microsoft decided the exporting to CSV should follow the locale convention. Which means I get a "semicolon-separated value" file instead of a comma-separated one, unless I change my local to us.

The thing is that there are enough people who blindly trust ChatGPT's answers, and they don't know in which ways they could be broken, and they wouldn't have the knowledge to verify the answers because they are asking about things they themselves know very little about.
