Arctic summer ice is down 50% in only like 50 years. Most of the historic Mt. Kilimanjro snow cover is gone. The predictions are coming through.

You're a liar, of course, when you exaggerate what those predictions were. But you're lying out of fear and anger because you know you have been wrong, that it's getting clearer that you've been wrong, and you know it's eventually going to be so clear that even the mentally deranged in this country who don't believe in climate change will finally realize they're wrong. And it will happen soon enough that you will still be around and people you know will remember how stupid you were.

Comment Walmart doesn't do tips (Score 1) 79

I don't know if HEB includes a tip, but I know that Walmart doesn't do tips. When I worked in the front end of a Walmart Supercenter six years ago, associates were trained to refuse tips, and if someone insists, to ring it up as a donation to whatever charity Walmart is collecting for at the time. Often that ends up being the nearest Children's Miracle Network hospital.

Comment Diverse double-compiling (Score 1) 136

Do you have the code for the compiler, and compile that yourself too?

If you have three different compilers for a language, and you bootstrap a compiler using all three of them, the first generation (e.g. GCC compiled with QuestionableCC, ShadyCC, or SlopCC) should be functionally identical, and the second generation (GCC compiled with GCC, which was compiled with the other compiler) should be bit-identical. See "Fully Countering Trusting Trust through Diverse Double-Compiling" by David A. Wheeler. Some people have trouble trusting Rust because only the latest stable rustc can compile the latest stable rustc.
