Do cats eat mushrooms? They're supposed to be chock full of umami.

The ACA wasn't really designed. That was the core problem with the early Obama administration - the guy was a lecturer on constitutional law and naively believed that congress could come up with a coherent plan with minimal leadership from the executive branch. That's how it works on paper, but in practice congress needs to be led.
Universal health care wasn't on the table. They tried that back in '93 and it was obvious that the small majority they held in both houses wouldn't be enough to overcome the fight they'd have from the insurance and pharmaceutical industries. So Obama just waved vaguely in the direction of Romney's health care bill in Massachusetts (thinking Republicans would play along with creating a national version of their own party's legislation) and told congress to get to work.
It's a pity, because I think they could have pulled off a single payer solution if they'd gotten their act together.
KDE had them back in the 90s. They had to - virtual desktops were a feature of pretty much any window manager more complicated than TWM. They'd have been laughed at if they didn't.
It's 4chan. If you don't throw in casual racism into every post they label you a lib and make fun of you.
The "binaries last forever" is still very much true in my field (industrial automation). For example, companies develop functions to speed up and simplify PLC development and "lock" the code to keep their competitors from copying it.
I was editing a PLC program on a government installation just today and ran into this. The government was never given the code (even though it rightly belongs to them) so I have to take it on faith that it's bug-free. I rewrote it and left it unlocked.
"Cross compiler" usually means a compiler that generates machine code for a machine other than what it runs on. For example, a compiler that runs on X86_64 but creates binaries for Atmel microcontrollers.
You might be thinking of transpilers, which produce source code in a different language. The f2c Fortran-to-C compiler is an example of that.
In my experience, transpiler output is practically unusable to a human reader. I'm guessing (I haven't read the article) that IBM is using AI to convert COBOL to readable, maintainable Java. If it can do so without errors, that's a big deal for mainframe users.
A gets a pass though. All the style of the original with better looking nacelles.
More like they see 4chan open in the guy's browser and think, "crap, this guy spanks it to BBC Hitler loli porn in here" and skedaddled.
.tar.Z is even more so.
"Clit mouse," per xkcd. And it's a major reason why I buy them.
The pilgrims were Puritans. Not sure where you got the idea that they weren't.
Thought about it, was browsing their site, then the page turned dark and a popup asked for my email address to sign up for their newsletter.
So I won't be buying one.
