Maybe we'll get a follow-up on hosting a distributed cluster of casios to handle global load balancing

Back in my day it was a Beowulf cluster running on hot grits serving Natalie Portman pictures

Oh man, Beowulf clusters, I forgot all about those. How come we never hear about them anymore?

"Running MPI programs on a cluster of commodity hardware" was perhaps a sufficiently novel idea to warrant a unique name back in the 90s, but these days it's more or less the standard for all but the most exotic and expensive of scientific computing... and even those expensive custom supercomputers tend to still be x86 processors running MPI code.

Basically you don't hear about them any more because it's all Beowulf clusters now.

I think the "Beowulf" name (the name of the first well known computer cluster) was mostly a Slashdot meme. As Slashdot faded, so did the name "Beowulf".

Inferno is available for Nintendo DS, more info at https://gamebrew.org/wiki/Inferno_DS I can verify that it runs, at least, on a Nintendo DSi, though I never actually did anything with it and didn't have another DSi (or enough knowledge) to find out if it could actually network.

I'm guessing because recurring one-liners don't do as well here as they did on SlashDot.

Because now they're just clusters. Lots of people make hobby ones out of rpi's to tinker with

This is why I originally got an odroid-c1 instead. IIRC newer rpi don't run Ethernet over the USB bus, so there's more bandwidth available.

Wow, the equivalent of having a building with existing wheelchair ramps and ripping them out because they're "unsightly".

I guess it's a valid decision decision, but pretty crappy for anyone who needs them.

Re:This Website is hosted on an Casio fx-9750GII Calculator by busymom0 on Monday July 12, 2021 @11:36PM (#27817398)

is that to imply that focus outline is meant for accessibility purposes?

[ Parent | on HN ]

Re:This Website is hosted on an Casio fx-9750GII Calculator by forgotmypw17 on Tuesday July 13, 2021 @12:50AM (#27817723)

Yes, focus rectangles are an essential component of navigating the interface with the keyboard.

Re:This Website is hosted on an Casio fx-9750GII Calculator by busymom0 on Tuesday July 13, 2021 @12:55AM (#27817742)

Fair. But if a user has accessibility enabled, that should override the css itself no?

Also even with the focus outline disabled on other sites, I am able to navigate with the keyboard to text input fields. OP's site doesn't have any input fields so not sure why they have that CSS in place as I don't think it's doing anything.

Re:This Website is hosted on an Casio fx-9750GII Calculator by tqx on Tuesday July 13, 2021 @11:52AM (#27822483)

No, it will not override the CSS (not sure what you mean by "accessibility enabled" exactly).

> even with the focus outline disabled on other sites, I am able to navigate with the keyboard to text input fields

Correct, but for a user with vision problems, the focus outline lets them see what has focus. CSS doesn't stop them from inputting values.

Focus styles are essential and should not be removed as a best practice (in general, this is a very small site).

You are making the assumption that the user has some modicum of control over the browser's configuration.

Re:This Website is hosted on an Casio fx-9750GII Calculator by busymom0 on Tuesday July 13, 2021 @01:47AM (#27817940)

No I am not. Users who require accessibility have it setup in their MacOS/Windows settings. It's a global setting for them. It's not website specific.

Users may access the site through a third-party device that they cannot configure, for example in a kiosk setting.

[ Parent | on HN ]

Re:This Website is hosted on an Casio fx-9750GII Calculator by busymom0 on Tuesday July 13, 2021 @06:59AM (#27819566)

I mean we are talking about a demo project on hosting a tiny site on a calculator. Don't think anyone is trying to access it from a kiosk.

But if your comment is a general opinion of websites in general, then yea, I see what you mean.

of course just like with most places using content providers :) . It would take forever (relatively)to pull those off the casio vs the html text for the page.
