Other than what I noted in a parallel comment, any E6 Slide film is frighteningly expensive to process compared to C41 negative film.

Yeah, I was not suggesting slide film because its hard for a beginner to make look nice. Ektar is.. wonderfully forgiving to under or over exposure, it'll look pretty in either case.

When you can, or feel up to it, try some Kodak Ektar. You'll like it, its much less grainy than the Portra with better color registration.

I'd guess this is how domestication happens, over generations. It kinda fits my understanding of domestication.

The first time I sat down at a TOPS-20 box, I could see the genetic similarity. Also, I was not presuming XKL cloned Cisco - considering the shared provenance of it all.

VMS has a might higher degree of lock-in than Solaris does.

As the poster I replied to pointed out, the lawnmower only cares about making money.

I think like, a big part of this was Solaris has near zero chance of gaining headshare among people who need Unix. Solaris has value for customers with vendor lock in, and its a declining revenue source which can be ridden out for a decade

Most users care more about the service working well, than they do about their data being secure. Its why things like Mastodon (et al) will always have an uphill battle.

Its my belief that any account deletion mechanism should never act instantaneously, it should disable login, and then create a job into a queue, which runs once a week, once a month, whatever. Users do stupid things, they do things they don

undone is easier to understand to native speakers who do not have a great grasp on language than reverted. Also "you need to unencrypt first" is closer to the common use of language.

Its amusing, early XKL documentation called it "router style user interface" so while it might have been PDP-10 under the surface, it looked like a Cisco Router from the get go, which makes sense considering the market intended fo

There has always been more than a passing resemblance to TOPS-20 and Cisco iOS CLI - while they might run a BSD variant, the feel is the same (so are some of the commands, like systat).

I've been on some mighty rusty unstable feeling jetbridges, I've always wondered how often they collapse, and what their nominal lifetime is.

Thats my point - when does it transform from Graffiti to Artifact - 50 years? 100 years? 500? its still an interesting thought.

by Aloha 3y ago
Perhaps, but we study roman graffiti where people from antiquity did the same thing, like, I get that its bad and should not be condoned but tourists have been carving their name into this thing for thousands of years.

We should invest more in public transit, but there is literally 100 years of built infrastructure which has fueled patterns of development which make taking transport unattractive. So we can invest more, just dont expect it to result in man

And sometimes the Diet Version can dates better than the regular one. I love Diet Dr. Pepper - not so big on regular Dr. Pepper.

a technology transfer is only slightly lower risk than restarting production on an old design. You have about half of the issues - because I can all but guarantee - no matter how good the polish missile is, and no matter how modern their pr

I think the sleep N > check for availability paradigm is pretty useful. The alternatives have a ton more complexity for not much benefit.

I can start notepad on my relatively slow Win10 VM with spinning disks in RAID and it starts with similar speeds - starting it on my physical windows machine with a SSD, it launches at exactly the same speed.

I tested on my own local win10 VM, and I get similar performance for the inbuilt windows apps. cmd, control panel, and most of the things in admin tools launch virtually instantly. This is for a machine that is running on relatively slow sp

Well of course it does. WinNT 3.51 was released in 1995 - the fastest PC in 1995 was either a Pentium or Pentium Pro at ~100 MHz - in 2000 a 600 MHz machine is likely a Coppermine PIII. A fairly common amount of RAM in 1995 to Run WinNT wou
