Try charging more so people will take you more seriously. That works surprisingly well a lot of the time.

Those sorts of jobs are filled from low-wage countries.

Florida isn’t one of those states though, but on the other hand Trump’s felonies are from NY and are under appeal. So OP’s question is interesting.

This is about installing on a Nexus 5 which is from 2013. Sounds painful.

ELIZA? Or maybe just a rubber duck as used by programmers.

Does gnu bc have outstanding bug reports? If not, it doesn’t need updates. Its spec was frozen 30 years ago, more or less. Rather than unmaintained, I’d call it maintenance-free. BIFL software as it were. Sounds great to me.

Seems like a whine, bc is an interactive tool and it’s unusual to use it for anything where its response isn’t instant.

GNU bc is one of the oldest GNU tools and it uses an MP library that RMS banged out in an afternoon or two, I think. It could probably be adapted to use GMP which is very high performance.

Preferring GPL to other licenses seems fine with me, unless I want to work for Amazon without getting paid.

I use autotools and don’t remember having such issues.

The quick answer is to use a serialization/deserialization library like pickle. You can’t just dump a binary image and reload it in any simple way.

I’m sure analogous situations have come up many times in history, such as in the Roman empire. The Borgia clan in the Italian Renaissance got a possibly unjust reputation for stuff like that. Machiavelli’s “The Prince” was supposedly inspired by Cesare Borgia.

Part of the answer has been to be careful who you pick as VP. Trump picked Pence partly because Pence (at the time) seemed to have no presidential ambitions. It worked reasonably well, since Pence could have (politically) put the shiv into Trump during either of Trump’s two impeachments. If Trump becomes president again, he’ll likely get impeached at least a couple more times, so we’ll see if Vance is similarly loyal.

We have supercomputers in our phones. They can handle it.

Contacts and dialer should maybe be merged. It’s nice to be able to call someone and make notes in that person’s contact page during the call.

Is there some obstacle to writing them? Special SDK privileges or anything like that? Seems like a good thing to degoogle if possible.

I’ve been fairly happy with K9 but if they are about to Mozillify it, I will check out FairEmail.

It’s ok if you call then medicines instead of drugs. Otherwise maybe ok anyway.

I guess we will find out, maybe.

Email?

This article would be more interesting if it took Grover’s quantum search algorithm into account, and made some kind of physical estimate of its limits. Grover’s algorithm lets you search N items in just sqrt(N) queries.
