Quote: It's interesting because you basically suggested to me (if I understand you), that a lexer/tokenizer is essentially an FST.
It's not only my opinion. According to Finite-state transducer - Wikipedia[^]: Quote: FSTs are used in the lexical analysis phase of compilers to associate semantic value with the discovered tokens.
As I was saying in a previous message, you were probably doing FSTs without knowing it  . In the immortal words of Moliere:
Quote: My faith! For more than forty years I have been speaking prose while knowing nothing of it, and I am the most obliged person in the world to you for telling me so.

I recently learned that you say something like "inf, innit?", but "fine, aight!"
These are almost the same words, but they contradict each other.
It's a pair, so to say.
Why are they pronounced so differently? 
Another weird one like that, with very different meanings though, are tome and epitome.
Only learned that relatively recently too
English is weird.

Through an unhappy accident of life, I've got in possession of 3 (three) LaCie 2big drives. They are about 10 years old but haven't been used for the past eight. Despite their age, they look absolutely gorgeous and are heavy like hell with their solid aluminum cases.
The question is obviously what to do with them? Should I try to use them, although I'm not starved for disk space, try to sell them or just dump them to the local e-recycle.
Edit: Specs - each unit has 2 7200rpm 1TB drives in RAID0, RAID1, or JBOD mode. USB3, Thunderbolt and eSata interface.

Capacity, speed, interface?

You are right, I added those to the initial message.

If the cases look awesome and you don't donate them (which is a good idea), another idea is gut them to keep the case and replace the drives with modern ones. Maybe like a homebrew project with a raspberry pi in it to work as the controller.

I agree with others suggesting to replace the drives. 1TB seems like a waste, especially for spinners.
[Edit]
What the heck is up with those prices?
It's a nice looking box, but surely it's more than a fancy external RAID. What am I missing?

LaCie was a big brand back in the day for external Mac drives. Pretty much the only popular player in town for a while, for Macs. Guess they felt the need to extort their customers.

I bet is was more of following their lead, Apple charges outrageous sums for their products so if LaCie was to be seen as the brand for Mac then they needed to charge outrageous sums as well.
Or, I could be just a little too cynical.
Iβve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
Iβm begging you for the benefit of everyone, donβt be STUPID.
