> Not sure what that has to do with the owl--"teasing"
I wonder if they're just amusing themselves (by being little jerks.)
One day in early spring, I thought I heard a Red Tail Hawk screeching in a tree directly above me. I stood back, searching for it. I never spotted it despite the leaves barely out on the tree. But I did spot a Blue Jay hopping around some lower branches.
When I got home I looked up Blue Jay behavior and found that they do imitate the calls of Red Tail Hawks, among others.
The tool chains that Espressif seem to work pretty well with these as well as their earlier (some sort of RISC) processors. I have had some code, however, that did not produce desired results until I upgraded the toolchain.
The other issue I've run into is that some cell phone battery packs that work well with Raspberry Pis won't stay on with the RISC-V ESPs because they draw so little power the battery pack doesn't detect the load.
Would it make sense to consider anything that prevents a process from completing it's intended function an error? It seems like this message would fall into that category and, as you pointed out, could result from a local fault as well.
> A good old ICE car will be cheaper to make than an EV
How much of that is the result of the relatively maturity of the technology? We've been continuously improving ICE based transportation for well over a hundred years. It's been a lot shorter for electric vehicles.
I suspect that there are bigger strides to make with electrics that may eventually turn that around.
Our kids have a Rottweiler that loves to chase a ball, Bring it back and then dare us to try to take it away from her. She can drop if convinced. Or I have a second ball that is more interesting, causing her to drop the other ball. She can hold two balls in her mouth so I have to wait for her to drop the first ball before I throw.
She also has a large (about 1 food diameter) ball that can't possibly fit in her mouth and I can kick that at which point she'll drop the little ball and try to get the big one in her mouth.
ZFS relates to backups. In my case (among the many things I like about ZFS) is that it preserves hard links which I used to reduce the space requirements for my primary `rsync` backup but which `rsync` blew up copying to my remote backup. (Yes, there's a switch to preserve hard links but it is not sufficiently performant for this application.)
(Episode #256 which is a number that resonates with many of us. ;) )
It shipped in the release version but was disabled according to a note on Wikipedia.
> Microsoft disabled the AARD code for the final release of Windows 3.1, but did not remove it so it could be later reactivated by the change of a single byte.
IIRC it did manage to make it into the PCs of some users - testers and early adopters?
I'd like to emphasize "Everyone knows what happens when you drop fourteen 30,000 pound bombs perfectly on their targets" because I don;t and I suppose anyone not intimately familiar with this particular munition and the task to which it has been applied does either.
She's just bloviating which makes her the perfect mouthpiece for Trump.
> A lot of that power currently gets discarded instead.
How is power discarded? I would expect peaking generation to be cut back or perhaps even base load plants can reduce output. (AFAIK "base load" means they are expected to be kept operating continuously whereas "peaking" is designed to start up when needed and shut down when not.)
> customers always wanted to change "something" ...

This reminds me of something I learned in a developmental psychology class (many) years ago. It reflects the "terrible twos" when the toddler learns they can disagree with their parent and answer almost any question "No!" in order to exercise their newfound power.
The suggestion in the class was to phrase questions in a manner to give the toddler a choice between two reasonable options rather than a yes/no query. For example "Do you want to play inside or go outside?" rather than "Do you want to go outside?" [1]
It seems that the choice could be manipulative or could offer reasonable options depending on how it is cast. (Of course there is a continuum between the two.)
[1] Our two boys never wanted to go outside and play but once outside, didn't want to come back in, claiming "Do we have to? We're just starting to have fun."
Will I be struck down or downvoted into oblivion if I mention man2html? Definitely not light weight since it also installs Apache, but I do like to view man pages in the browser. I think 'python3 -m http.server' could be substituted for the server and perform well enough for a single user system.
It's unfortunate that Markdown isn't better standardized so it could be extended to better meet the needs for man pages. (Do we need a new standard to rule them all? Yes, I'm thinking of the XKCD comic.)
The budget for the NPS is so small that if they shut it down, the effect on the deficit would be too small to measure. But someone would still need to manage those properties so it would be "necessary" to sell them off to private interests.
I really hope that's not going to happen, but that fits with strangling the parks for the necessary resources needed to operate. (And then mandating that they remain open.)
> I'll take a Lexical editor with SQLite to store my data any day.
Do you have tools that do this or an example?
I'm pretty happy with Markdown and mkdocs (on Linux) to manage and format my notes. VS Code does a pretty good job with this providing both a preview and facilitating linking between documents (both file and heading links.) I'm always open to something better.

> Ideally the court can compel the purchaser(s) to destroy the data.
I suppose a court order holds more weight than checking a box on a web site, but I'm not sure how much I'd trust the eventual purchaser.
Worse yet, if the seller drops their guard (due to lack of funding for proper security) will someone steal the data? At that point web requests and court orders are moot.
I guess I'm seeing a black hat behind every bush. I'm not sure if this kind of data has any value on the black market.
Long gone are the days when they would sell a Pi Zero for $3.14 on Pi day.
