To my shame I'd never heard of that film before but the whole thing is availble on YouTube for free https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyIhqT5bkEM

Yep me too. Great to see it freely availible online. IMHO by far the stangest, most mind bending story in it isn't really cybperpunk though but it's still flipping brilliant. Petra by Greg Bear. It's about what happens when

Yep, I agree with this. Jean Boussier wrote this execellent examination of CPU bound Rails application and why making use of multi-processes is probably a good idea. Even if you're not using CPU bound it's still daft to leave perf

I never felt that way. I thought both the Amiga and the ST were great, each with useful and unique features but I still loved the Acorns. IMHO the GUI was better on RiscOS and being able to run video at 25fps in just software felt like mag

Sophie Wilson discusses it here[1] but I've read it in other places too. You'll have to find them yourself though. > The second thing they didn’t do was that they weren’t fast, they weren’t easy to use. We were used to progra

Yep, Acorn competitor to the Amiga and ST would was the Archimedes (followed by the A series and Risc PC). The Archimedes was powered by a 32-bit ARM 2 and it was awesome. :D

Well the ARM's original goal was to run BBC BASIC faster than the BBC B could run assembly code. To that end the ARM instruction set was heavily inspired by the 6502 in the Beeb and cruicially the BBC Micro was used to simulate the ARM

Yeah I think that was one of the unusual things about Jobs; he really cared about product design for its own sake and not just for profit. I think that is pretty unusual in large companies.

It's also worth noting that if you are arrested for a serious offence your DNA and biometrics will taken and held for ever even if you are release without charge and the real perpetrator latter convicted. In the eyes of the law you wil

I treat LLMs as a tool. I want it to have empathy so that it can understand what I'm getting at when I occasionally ask a poorly worded question. I don't want it to pander to me with its answers though or attempt to give me an ans

Once local transcription is in more places hopefully we can persuade content creator not to burn bouncing sub-titles into their videos. I've seen professionally produced recordings on dry and technical subjects with good sound quality

As a teenager I read Machiavelli's The Prince with trepidation knowing it was on The List (and me being brought up Catholic). Afterwards I couldn't really see what the fuss was about.

Oh yeah, it's definitely solvable if you can be bothered with it. It was more just the observation that an unnecessary light had been included that degrades the performance of the product. I find it intriguing how that comes to be. On

Completely agree. I was given a small electric fan. It’s great in that it’s portable and I can use it in some of the crummy hotels I have to stay in. Unfortunately, it has a bright blue LED on it so it’s a pain to use at night when you’re t

“Down with this sort of thing” Makes me think that if this list was still published it would have a sort of Father Ted effect[1] and act as a list of books you’d definitely want to read. 1. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki&

This is a great intro to in both Vim and general unix text processing. When I first started reading I thought, why not use Vimwiki or org? I’ve use vimwiki for years but I really like the approach taken here. It’s simple and robust. Making

True but all the other parties are currently saying that they 100% will not reconsider this stupid law[1]. I don’t like Farrage. At all. He’s also currently the only MP questioning this law and he’s making fair points about it. The governme

One of the most interesting things about this legislation is where it comes from. Primarily it was drafted and lobbied for by William Perrin OBE and Prof Lorna Woods at Carnegie UK[1], billed as an “independent foundation”. William Perrin i

No, g is the global modifier so gives you multiple mateches rather than stopping on the first match encountered.

That very much depends on the product type. No one pedalling a heavy bicycle up hill ever thought it was better made than a lighter one, even if it was. It’s almost first thing people do when looking at a bike is pick it up for weight. Heav

Will the identity provider be able to match my token with me? How does it guarantee anonymity? i.e. in this scenario will they know that my token was passed to PornHub?

That's clearly bullshit. When the House of Commons and the King disagree the Commons is supreme. When that was last tested, in 1688, the reigning monarch was removed from power and replaced. It was enshrined in the Bill of Rights 1689

I've seen people flying RC plains at disused airfields in Suffolk. Even some RC jets. I'd contact your local RC club and they'll help you get into it.
