It is also a good warning that the people who typically create and edit Wikipedia articles in your local language do not find the subject interesting or are prevented from effectively documenting it due to the language barrier. I was doing

The “over 1 TFLOPS” claim for the M1 appears to be for single precision floats whereas FLOPS performance figures for supercomputers, including the one given for the CRAY-1, are almost always based on double precision (FP64) floats. The doub

It is almost always blocking first party JavaScript and XHRs that causes breakages. I have rarely had to enable Google anything in uMatrix to get a site to work (more often it is Cloudflare), and it is only if the site insists on reCAPTCHA.

KHTML has been discontinued and was barely maintained for several years before. It has not been a relevant party for about a decade if not more.

Paradoxically (or not) this is precisely what makes their scholarship better than that of a “distant” observer. The problem is that truly neutral authors are also often indifferent ones. Since the Ottomans had such a large influence on the

The author has a completely distorted view of computing history. 64K was not a “luxury” in 1982/1983. Average memory prices then were about $2000 per MB, 64K would have cost ~$100. The C64 launched with that amount of memory in 1982 an

I think what the author meant is that film grain is part of the authentic visual aesthetic of cinema produced using celluloid materials. A de-noised image is therefore inauthentic as that is contrary to the appearance of the original projec
