The difference is this doesn't tie into the grid.

At least with skiing, getting hit in the head isn't the point.

It sounds like he bought complete sets.

That's the song I'd get docking my iPod in my stereo like 15 years ago. Strong memories.

First time I've seen := used for equality and not assignment.

The thing is that Duke3d ran fast/sounded just fine even on a slow Pentium with a basic sound blaster. GUS was very useful in the 486 era, but it sounds like it was actually better to not use it with a faster computer in this case.

I can understand taking his word for it, but I don't personally believe that. How could someone in 1979 not have heard of Agent Orange? It would have been all over the news: https://www.nytimes.com/1978/12/19/archives/vietnam-veterans... and the Vietnam war was still fresh in everyone's mind. Maybe he was embarrassed by the edgy name, which is basically a reference to an American war crime, in later years? idk.

The giants are quite often credited by name, or have their work cited.

The mass murdering invaders in October 2023 were Hamas.

It has to be.

Where I live, there are no school zones, but instead playground zones that are in effect from 7:30am to 9:00pm. Now, I might go 60 km/h in a 50 zone depending on the road, but I will always go exactly the limit in playground zones (30 km/h). The fine for speeding in those is so much worse.

I would say the majority do the same, for probably the same reason.

Interesting perspective that doesn't blame the downfall of DEI initiatives, or reluctance to travel to the US: https://www.reddit.com/r/womenintech/comments/1x4kilp/commen...

It sounds like this conference had been going downhill for a few years.

The combination of "maxed-out" and "starts" is kind of confusing, but I found the machine you're talking about - M5 Ultra with the 36-core CPU and 80-core GPU, 96 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD.

It has 6x the RAM, 2x the memory bandwidth and looks like it totally outclasses the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER. I did some searching and it looks like a close comparison would be the older M3 Ultra Mac Studio, although again, with a lot less RAM.

Tofu isn't fermented. (Stinky tofu, natto and soy sauce are, though.)

Seems like a pre-Brexit example for Britain.

Yes, when a powerful man like a medieval king, who can make or break anyone around him, says something like that, people do his bidding.

I don't see how that applies to some rando on kiwi farms, or you, or me for that matter.

Kiwi farms allows/encourages mockery of these people, and collection of everything they've ever said/done online (which some might consider doxxing), but notably, they do not allow planning harassment. Maybe people read KF and coordinate with others to swat lolcows, but that coordination does not happen on KF.

If you've ever wondered why KF is still around, that's a big part of it. They're also completely compliant with US law.

The PET models used this as well.

The story takes place in the US. The only Canadian connection is that CBC convered the story, and Norm was Canadian.

Sorry for being unclear. I meant it shows up as a top 5 distro recommended by reviewers. This kind of thing: https://linuxblog.io/best-linux-distro/

It does show up on top 5 lists for Linux desktop distros quite a lot, and COSMIC is quite unique, so I suspect a lot of people are at least trying it.

(I wasn't able to make it work on a scrap Dell I tried it on because the GPU was too old. Booted the USB key and COSMIC greeter failed to start)

It reads more like a prompt than a useful README.

All I had was Doom II over IPX.

I used X11 on some 8-bit framebuffers back in the day, and I remember the palette changing depending on which window was in the foreground. The foreground window would have proper colour, and the background ones would generally have crazy clashing colours.

> projects like 808s and Heartbreak and Tha Carter III

Or 22, A Million by Bon Iver.

It's a compact sedan (or a compact hatchback, depending on the model) from Toyota, which in Canada at least, makes it an "entry-level" new car.

That same year, IBM released the 3-board PGA which did 640x480x256.

90ºN is definitely in the arctic.

What did it use for expansion slots? I've seen pictures of the motherboard, but can't really identify what goes where. I don't see any 8-bit ISA slots (which makes sense, as it has a 16-bit bus), and I don't see 16-bit ISA slots (which makes sense because IBM didn't invent that standard until a year later! Also 16-bit ISA would have too many address lines for this thing.)

I never knew about this poem. It's a factual observation of that era of computing.

To this day, people getting into retro computing are disappointed by the Tandy 2000 and other non-PC compatible MS-DOS machines. (I get it, having passed up on an AT&T 6300. But if you wanted to give me a DEC Rainbow or Zenith Z-100 I wouldn't say no).
