There's an argument to be made that "no binario" is the more correct. Latin has a neutral grammatical gender ("bīnārium") that has been mostly assimilated into the masculine gender in Spanish.

It's exaggerated but yes, this map really reminds me of many large Chinese cities. It's probably true every major city has a People's Square. I think the map is based on Beijing.

A guy came from the future, using time travel technology, and the achievement he touts is simply going to the moon?

Is it actually running snap or just unpacking its content and running it as a normal flatpak?

Borg for backup. I'm really surprised it's not more widely known. It's an incredible piece of software.

Also, not really lesser known software, but a lesser known feature of file systems including the ones we use in FOSS operating systems: extended file attributes - useful to add metadata to files without modifying them.

While it's a stupid question which he wouldn't have asked a white guy, it's not wholly illegitimate. Shou Zi Chew has major business ties to Mainland China, which is not a secret.

Funny but not so accurate. We don't actually know when Legolas was born, we don't know that the mithril coat was actually forged in Erebor (it could certainly have been brought during the resettlement from the Grey Mountains), and we don't know what "some young elf-prince long ago" actually means and that none was born since the fouding of Erebor (I don't think we have an exhaustive list of noble elves from the text).

I've heard this trope before but I'm skeptic. I'm not a C expert but I can't believe memory bugs in that language are so much more benign than in C++.

Nothing wrong with that... Most people don't need to reinvent the wheel, and choosing a filename extension meaningful to the particular use case is better then leaving it as .zip or .db or whatever.

Majel Barrett played both Nurse Chapel and Number One in the original series, but these two actresses in SNW look nothing alike.

I've been using nothing but Linux at home and work for 20 years and it's news to me that these words are not equal synonyms.
