Makes me think of Bughuul from Sinister.

As long as protons are the lowest mass baryon, there is nothing for them to decay to (barring violation of baryon number conservation).

3-ball is actually the mathematical term for a solid sphere.

This cladogram is outdated about turtles, which are no longer considered the most phylogenetically basal reptiles.

Sometimes, original material does survive fossilization.

Yes, but they were satisfied when IBM was given a license to use JSLint for evil.

I have that sort of thing constantly due to extreme visual snow.

But dc is a reverse polish calculator Unix program. It’s even in the Bell Labs’ Unix 1^st edition manual.

It’s designed to be an extended vi clone above anything else.

It’s blueshifted to looking green because you’re excessively speeding.

C was built mostly to abstract from assembly

Ed Is The Standard Text Editor

ed, ex, and vi are all standard, required text editors in the Single Unix Specification.

But then the filename wouldn’t be /^[[:alnum:]._-]*~*$/.

.C came first. I don’t usually use it though; I usually use .cc or .cxx, but if I’m making some tiny test source, I often use .C. I’m strongly opposed to the .cpp extension because calling C++ “CPP” leads to confusion with the preexisting (before C++) use of the initialism to refer to the C preprocessor. There’s a reason why CPPFLAGS refers to preprocessor flags and CXXFLAGS refers to C++ flags.

You also talk to the rapist.

I look forward to finding out how it’s actually much worse than meets the eye. [emphasis added]

It this schadenfreude because you hate Canonical and their Snap system?

The same applies to me. I have the purely inattentive variety of ADHD (sometimes called ADD).
