To be fair, POST could mean a number of things. Are we talking in a webserver context? BIOS context? The POST Office?

I am absolutely of the opinion that good software is far more important than good hardware. Unfortunately modern hardware is so good that inefficient software gets a free pass.
I’m very sorry it came off that way. I don’t even know what I said now its been removed, but I’m sure the joke was meant to be at my own expense, not yours.
I got a fevah!
And the only cure…
is more pickle!
12·25 days agoPeople still have 2G?
We haven’t had 2G for nearly 8 years. 3G was killed late last year.
It’s such a pain, so many devices don’t support 4G, let alone VoLTE.
Surely 2G isn’t that hard to keep running? It has far better range than 4G, meaning fewer towers are needed. Just keep one or two bands around to make voice calls easier.

To your point about who borrowed from who - one of my favourite examples is the story of Noah’s Ark, or less specifically, “The Great Flood”. So many religions and mythologies have a Great Flood story. It’s fascinating to see how similar or different certain people’s recounts were of historical events like that.
Like I say, at this point in my life I’m still of the opinion that a good chunk of the Bible means well, but who knows? One of these days I might run out of sci-fi novels to read and go cover to cover, old testament to new. It’s certainly possible my mind might yet change.
I admit I haven’t read the entire Bible. I’m not a particularly pious Christian, and I certainly don’t mean to try to convince anyone towards or against religion. Certainly, religion has its problems. That said:
I also love science. I’m an engineer, not a conspiracy theorist. I know the dinosours existed, I know evolution happened, I know the Big Bang was a thing. However, that doesn’t mean Jesus wasn’t a man who lived approximately 2000 years ago. It doesn’t mean he wasn’t a great teacher. It doesn’t mean there aren’t lessons to learn in any of the Bible’s stories.
Because that’s what they are: stories. They’re not 100% perfect recounts of events that happened. Heck, they’re most of the time not even 1% perfect recounts of events that happened. But some of them still have some wisdom worth sharing, just the same. At least, I think so.

That’s true, but usually they get their method right (or close to it) but fail on the simple addition. If you use it to help figure out what steps you need to take, you can then run through substituting the correct numbers in and make some real progress.
I just completed a class on hydrology and water engineering with this method. Got a HD. That either says something about the school or something about GPT. Not sure which.
It certainly says something about my willingness to complete water engineering coursework, I’ll admit that.

Knew exactly what scene this was before I’d even taken a good look, let alone read the text. One of my favourites, along with “I will not carry a gun, Frank”.
