It’s pronounced “Allman Brothers”

It's pronounced "Doobie Brothers"

> vastly more complexity.

Doom is ingenious, but it is not terribly complex IMHO, not compared to a modern networking stack including WiFi driver. The Doom renderer charm is in its overall simplicity. The AI is effective but not sophisticated.


You know, there are external drive USB controllers that linux blocks/blacklists SMART passthrough when using UAS due to paranoia and historical problems, but this can overridden.

I guess it is possible this is not your problem, but the last Seagate external I bought in October worked just fine with this workaround. This is probably safe from a data integrity standpoint, at least with a modern filesystem, but in my case it was no issue as I was only using the SMART to do tests before shucking the drive. Also, I don't know of any modern drive that truly doesn't support SMART.


For nearly a decade, Chicago does allow MC cable in a number of circumstances, basically up to 25 feet branches where you don’t want to open up a wall.


Rarely do pipes, wires, or ducts just outright fail even in 50 years. Usual case for tearing out drywall is for voluntary renovations. Shit behind the wall just doesn't "fail" if it is left undisturbed or you were unlucky like those that got defective PEX or similar installed.


Wires not really but copper and iron pipes and ducts can and do corrode away. Ive seen hvac ducts that were more hole than anything but nobody noticed under the floor or above the ceiling.


My house is 150 years old, but it's also been rebuilt several times in that time. My neighbors' houses are less than a decade old. We have all swapped stories about replacing things behind drywall. Leaks. Electrical issues. Ducts. Everything. Consider yourself lucky if you have not. 50 years is not the number you should bet upon.


So outside of a few notable examples, the materials rarely fail, galvanized duct work should easily last half a century in a properly installed and maintained system, properly installed copper pipe or PEX and even (C)PVC, properly installed NM or wiring in conduit where code requires, where people get into trouble is with shoddy builders and the housing market often causes those to forgo proper inspections and it is ultimately a “market for lemons”. But blaming drywall seems a bit misplaced, since shoddy building in targeting cost only, they’re going to be the last ones replacing drywall with something fancy and expensive.


Rodents love PEX. If we knew, we'd have used copper. It would have been cheaper in the long run.

It just takes one rat.


Maybe you're thinking of poly-B, not PEX.


About 15 years ago I installed a new kitchen faucet for my grandmother, whose kitchen had been renovated in the early/mid 90s. Right near the end of the time when PB was inexplicably popular. I have to say, I spent several hours cursing whoever decided to use PB, and in this particular case whoever decided that the pipes should connect directly to the faucet rather than terminate at a bog standard quarter turn valve. Lots and lots of cursing.

As I recall, wasn't PB basically a single vendor, too? Finding PB-to-anything-else adapters at Home Depot was like going on a treasure hunt. Sizing is different, so you really need something actually built for PB. And probably end up with sharkbites. If I were shopping for a house right now and found it had been plumbed with PB, I'd just turn around and walk away.


No, Uponor AquaPEX.


(C)PVC gets brittle and can crack. Been there done that.


telnet has never been in POSIX though.


It's a joke and a poke that macOS isn't certified UNIX as shipped.


https://www.opengroup.org//openbrand/register/

To actually pass the certification test suite on a real system, Apple sometimes needs to apply special configurations (e.g., disabling System Integrity Protection (SIP), using case-sensitive filesystem, enabling certain legacy services, etc.).

telnet(1) is not required by POSIX (nor is nc or ssh required!)

Ironically, telnet(1) did not begin as a "Unix" utility but an ARPANET protocol suite program. It was available cross-platform. It is unclear whether all editions of Unix included a client, but BSD for sure was the point where telnet and TCP/IP became essential integrations for the systems.


Did you not read that it was a joke?


The term Metabolic Syndrome X has been around for more than a few years, unless nearly 40 is few (and I absolutely relate to that sentiment), just saying that concept was revved up in the 90s and of course has been an academic discussion going back to the early 20th century.

Opioids are not weight based dosed for adults. Typically pain protocols start at fixed doses based on prior opioid use and titrate up for effect.

Also was this a bug in Epic proper or a site specific customization?


OK, so my example is flawed, but the scenario remains valid. I was going off charts like https://nursing.duke.edu/sites/default/files/documents/SCD-O...

I don't know anything about the bug other than my provider who I'd communicated and demonstrated the behavior to came back to me confirming that it was a real bug and was being fixed.


> Paracetamol is the most common cause of liver failure in the US.

This is also a bit misleading, it’s the most common cause of acute liver failure which is overall quite rare in developed countries. The most common need for transplants are still by far progressive chronic liver diseases leading to cirrhosis.


It’s AT&T not ATNT. You could have just said it outright, what is the point of the obscurity? It’s not funny if that’s what you were going for.


Yea, seriously. These riddles to avoid naming companies are so bizarre. Why do people do this? Does OP really think the AT&T thug squad is going to come to his house to break his kneecaps because he posted about them on HN?


As for me, it made me chuckle.


Yeah pretty unnecessary, who/what are you trying to protect here?
