This historic meaning is also the sense of ‘Middle Earth’ in the Tolkien books; for instance The Lord of the Rings is notionally a retelling of the end of the third age in our world long ago, with now being the sixth or seven age.

Outlook’s done this for like a decade? Ditto Apple mail.

I think they do the same with email addresses and phone numbers too, it’s kind of useful and not a big deal.

Used to work on a farm, and yes we did do this.

Also, our wash down hoses were basically power washers, but like 10x the volume.

Farm labour in Arkansas… “ has been limited in recent years. ”

Installing the VSCode extension pack for Java runs a headless version of Eclipse JDT under the hood, which isn’t quite what I think of as lightweight.

What's wrong with that? If they re-implement the whole thing it would amount to the same code size. It's the JDT language SERVER not some sort of "headless" software with UI needlessly bundled.

Java isn't quite what I think of as lightweight. I mean it probably can be, but most Java engineering I know of is all about adding more and more libraries, frameworks, checks, tests, etc.

You can set the launchMode to LightWeight which spins up a syntax-only language server.

Bitcoin doesn’t ask questions when you unexpectedly want to make a very large transfer to a new payee. Your banker will.

But exchanges will if you deposit that much, and will freeze your $ if they don't like your response.

Why would you even use a central exchange? It makes no sense. The person holding an absurd amount of coins would not be stupid to throw it all away like that

then there is no way to liquate anything close to that much without a centralized exchange

I’d love to set up stuff like this, but our IT security guys would really not like the risk with everything else on their plate!

They're right too. "Let's install random drivers to get the USB serial to work" etc.

Working on it was one of the motivations for https://github.com/atomirex/umbrella where I'm basically trying to control more from the access point since I believe these devices need strict separation from everything else. (That code also is essentially a golang superset of the C++ on the device).

Schedule can also mean an organised table or list, especially in a formal context.

Legislation very often has a bunch of them at the back, referred to from the main text.

Not to mention "Schedule 40" (and other) PVC conduit ... I assume that this too is a reference to a table of some sort.

That doesn't help the people maintaining the tunnels and everything inside them.

The bulk of the QR code is about specifying, quite exhaustively, multiple means of error prevention, detection , and correction. I guess some applications don’t use these features effectively, but compliant QR codes are really quite hard to corrupt.
