I block people liberally. I agree 100% with the comic. And blocking idiots is good for my health.

The underlining linear algebra routines are written in… FORTRAN.

Pl/1 did it right:

Dcl 1 mybools, 3 bool1 bit(1) unaligned, 3 bool2 bit(1) unaligned, … 3 bool8 bit(1) unaligned;

All eight bools are in the same byte.

Uh, it looks like someone has finally found some real ‘fraud’.

At this very moment, the tower my cellphone hooks to is not providing 5G connectivity. But when I went out to have breakfast and walked just one block I got a good one. So maybe some equipment was damaged by whatever happened (and has still not been repaired, which is understandable).

Good to know, and somehow good news.

What really scared me is the internet service and mobile networks went down a few minutes (like, 2-3 minutes) after the main power.

Comms switch centers and cell towers are supposed to have batteries to keep them running for a while. But they went black almost immediately.

During the day we got some short moments of connectivity. Short and sparse.

There are things that I’d like to have some explanation for.
