I didn’t know what to expect. I thought they may license it to other companies under particular clauses or some such.

Darn it. Oh well.

Are these M-class chips available to be purchased on Digi-Key and Mouser? Do they have data sheets and recommended circuitry? I’d love to play with one just to see how difficult it is to integrate compared to, say, an stm8/32 or something.

Frank Klepacki on soundtrack?
Has society ever been safe, productive or prosperous? I’d argue it hasn’t. I think smaller collectives have managed to eek out a bit of solace but society as a whole has always been at each other’s throats. Our notion of productivity is mostly moved forward by one hand not seeing the other.
Re:Response to Scott Alexander on Medical Effectiveness on Sunday April 28, 2024 @10:58AM (#40189079)
Is Scott Alexander qualified in this subject?
I think this just validates China’s social, cultural, and digital hegemony.

Banning (if you can call it that? Divesting?) a single product like this is a strange move. It’s using a shovel to clear the early crumbs of an avalanche.

I don’t think this is the right move. Yes, it threatens the monopolies that companies like Facebook have established. And let’s assume that Haidt is right and social media and the surrounding ecosystem is a cesspool of negativity being lunged at the youth. I still think that it’s in a way petulant and reactive to pass a bill for this. A foreign country is not responsible for our leaders having failed to nurture us into sensible adults who do not fall prey to these dark patterns and tactics. I will refrain from the angle that our leaders intentionally did not want us to be critical, independent thinkers to further their own agendas by treating us like lepers.

I sympathize with the author even if my gripe is different. I’m surrounded by people who read pop science and regurgitate things they have no clue nor conception of. It’s very difficult to have an honest discussion and to ask “what if?” and say “interesting, I don’t know” with people who read books and think they have it figured out because so—and-so said so.

I should have loved curiosity, but what I’ve found are people looking to justify existing thinking.

Can we get a StarCraft or Warcraft 3 leak?

Sidewinder Pro reporting in. Is there any other way?

The video title is “x86 needs to die” so the HN re-word is highly editorialized.
Question for the author: throwing this out there, do you know if anyone has written a Rabbit RCM2000 emulator by any chance?

And how!

That’s not particularly affluent.

What makes it seem like, from this piece anyway, that he is from an affluent family? (I don’t know the author/artist whatsoever.) Describe to me the phone call you think ought to take place.

You should do a video on this. I can’t do wicking worth shit.
Memes existed in technical docs for as long as technical people and docs existed.
Bought an xbone recently for a few titles, all my old Xbox games work. Nothing more to add.
Gone are the days of simple, naive SC1/BW and War3 UMS mapping.
This is by design

Sounds like an insufferable fellow and a pain in the ass to have dealt with as a musician.
For anyone who reads the comments before TFA: yes, it’s just more Haidt.

My car has a button explicitly for DST on/off in the clock menu. It’s braindead dumb, has no concept of DST and all it does is +/- 1 the hour. I’ve yet to come across a more elegant solution save for an OS that is network aware doing it, but that comes with its own troubles.

Re:IrfanView on Saturday March 30, 2024 @03:59PM (#39878086)
IrfanView shouldn’t be seen as a relic just because it’s “old”. Software like IV, Opus/Far just highlight how inadequate the OS provided tools for common navigation/viewing patterns are. Anyone who breaks through the “the computer is a magical box and I don’t understand any of it” barrier needs to have a manual tossed at them that covers this software right away. Nevermind gdb/WinDbg.
