Isn't the purpose of zines to publish them? Then how could that even be considered concealment?

The world is not black and white and simple. Things could be taken out of context, and people tend to project. People have got into trouble for having retold a controversial joke that they had heard, when the reason they retold had been bec

I've woken up from surgery with an epidural that had a leak. That wasn't fun. It made it emotionally difficult to get surgery again.

I got an estimate of 70,550, from a score of 87/100 (20/18/16/17/16). Not native English speaker. I suppose the words must be weighed, because other people in the thread with more correct words got a not much higher

Unlike many flip phones, there is smartphone hardware inside capable of running Android apps — except that it is only a curated selection from Commodore's own app store. The cost of running the app store is probably included. Smaller p

I had expected it to remind me of a bread-bin C64. A little "cassette futurism". Design language is such a big part of branding.

WASM has a (pointer + i32) address mode, and the effective address is 33 bits. So WASM implementations use 8GB mappings ...

How about making the standard client library's API the interface, and have it hide whatever the system is actually using? A long time ago when I looked at designing a X11 replacement, that was my approach. AFAIK, only special X utili

There is no such thing as "Open Source AI". Open Source means that you respect copyright . The types of AI models that this web site refers to do not. Stop this nonsense!

I have recently begun to call myself a "technorealist". Technorealism is an old movement that I've found my existing views have been aligned with for some time. Technology is meant to serve man, and a solution that involves t

Meta had taken its name from the virtual world "Metaverse" in Neal Stephenson 1992 novel Snow Crash . The novel is the earliest known use of that word, so if it wasn't directly then it was indirectly. The book also describes

Sometimes I have wished I had a handheld EMP gun for such situations. What are they going to do? It would be harmless to living beings and leave no trace. Their device would simply stop working suddenly.

I have also found a UI framework in C++ with OpenGL named Gooey (2008-ish). And in early 2000, I was in a mailing list for designing a successor/replacement to X11, code-named "Gooey" that never went anywhere.

TV signals (PAL and NTSC) were 50 and 60 Hz so as to be in sync with the flickering of electric lamps. When film is converted to 50 Hz TV, the film is sped up 24->25 fps and every frame shown twice. When converted to 60 Hz TV, there is &

On ADB keyboards with two Command keys, both keys result in the same code being sent — so it is impossible for a converter to distinguish between them. I have seen that on the AEKII the two keys' switches are even electrically connecte

Good article! I've been struggling to grasp what these new "effects" were. When I had been in university twenty years ago, I had constructed a language with "effects" as I had understood them then: side-effects a

There are several Chrome extensions for turning that off automatically, but I agree: you should not have to need extensions to use YouTube.

BTW, SAAB did produce cars from 1949. General Motors bought 51% of SAAB Automobile in 1990, and it was defunct in 2016.

When I clicked, I thought this was going to be about the Theseus operating system [0]. Running win32 programs on it would have been ... interesting. It too uses WASM, but for running non-Rust programs in sandboxes. Everything else is Ru

You can't tell whether a polyp is cancerous or not before you have removed it, sent it to the lab and got the results back. Therefore, all polyps should be removed. (Sending them all to the lab might be superfluous though)

It is likely that your friend could have a genetic disposition for colon cancer. He should get a gene test once he has recovered. I was the same age. My doctor saw signs in an early blood test, and followed it up so mine got detected relati

I would not take solace in IPCC retiring a scenario. Their predictions are based on conservative aggregates of existing science, and have always been considered by many in the climate science community to be underestimating climate change.

I think we should not use the word "communism". It is imbued with a lot of different values depending on who you ask, and is therefore utterly useless. Marx and Engels had originally envisioned a liberal democratic society with lo

A type of VLA I would like to see more of in C code however, is variable-length array parameters (void func(int n, int arr[n]);) and array pointers (int (*my_array)[n];). Compilers can often do some static bounds-checking of such arra
