@douglasvb The insignia on the bulldog’s uniform is from the 2nd Armored Division, “Hell On Wheels.” I would guess the 502nd was in there somewhere. But we can’t ask them directly, the 2nd Armored was stood down in 1995.

@douglasvb I've been able to find a couple online references to there being a 502nd Admin Company in the 2nd Armored, but nothing definitive yet.
There is a veterans' association for the 2nd Armored, though. You might try contacting them, they might be interested, or able to put you in touch with the appropriate Army museum for an artifact like this.

They have finally called the race to fill noted crazy person Nancy Mace’s House seat down here. It went to the Democrat, Nancy Lacore, a retired admiral Pete Hegseth drove out of the Navy last year.

An interesting idea which occurred to me for a JiT runtime for Alonzo: What if any datastructure you define in Alonzo can provide instructions for how it can be compressed?
These could be invoked by the garbage collector as it compacts memory!
The other intriguing thing about building an Alonzo interpreter or compiler: Order of execution doesn't matter! As long as the dataflow's right the code can be executed in any order.
It can be evaluated lazily, but it doesn't have to be.

A recent addition I've made to my Alonzo plans is to add exceptions.
I was motivated to do so because allocating memory is a foundational building block of computing, which might occasionally fail. Though it might have other uses.
An exception would be non-deterministically returned from a function, & get propagated unless handled. Possibly winding up in your UI. Reading that data again will attempt to recompute the deterministic data.
How does this sound?

@EugestShirley Good question. Approximately 8x6. Elastic on one edge only.
It's ripstop hylon, black on one side... reflective on the inside. It's waterproof -- there are sewn seams and they are all taped with waterproof tape (high quality, not peeling). There's some branding that looks like "TS", but could be anything, really.

@gsuberland @mcc If I remember correctly, not setting the CPU type and/or flags, I’ve had issues with it where it would not advertise AVX etc to the guest OS

The reason your most "profitable" client is actually bankrupting you is simple:
You priced the work based on creation time, not management chaos.
Add a 30% buffer for emotional and operational support before you send your next proposal. Charge for the actual human you have to deal with.

The converse of this is I always want to be the Good customer
Knowing what a pain it is to deal with difficult ones
But then damned if I don’t have all kinds of wacky ideas and requests as well
Making me the shitty customer I dislike
There should be classes, and exchanges of good customer behaviour

@chris Ok, so you go to the doctor who says the car charging is fine, but you have to tow car 82km home because it won't charge? DId I get this right?
