Everyone gives away their money when they die. That's pretty much all he

This is one reason that long term loans of historical artifacts are
sometimes used with museums rather than gifts.
One fewer place to obtain old stock components in the NorCal East Bay.

Most languages will give you some way to shoot yourself in the foot. The
question is how much work do you need to do? In FORTRAN the easiest method
was changing the value of a literal in a subroutine call. It is standard
compliant behavior that goes back to at least FORTRAN IV. Current

If a company (or its owners if not shielded from liability) has any assets
in the EU they can be seized (up to 4% of the company's total value) for
violating GDPR. Apparently, Lee Enterprises has assets in Europe, and
doesn't want to spend the non-trivial time, effort and expense (or lost
revenue)

Even worse than you might think. For user mode code you've got at least
two context switches which are typically thousands of CPU cycles. On the
plus side when you start waiting for I/O the CPU will

If you want to avoid shipping you see if there's a vintage arcade game
group in your area and see what they are looking for. Most people seem to
be replacing tubes with equivalent size panels, though.
