Can't recommend Thomas and crew more. The interview process with them was smooth, transparent, responsive, and always forthright. I'd fully recommend interested individuals take a look.

I gave you my reasoning, we simply disagree. And that's ok.

I think you missed my point. Microsoft BASIC is a dialect consisting of a couple dozen BASIC implementations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_BASIC And clicking any of those will list them as a "Microsoft

They're lumped in the same group by measure of being from the same source and following mostly the same core dialect. What I (and is usually) referred to as "Microsoft BASIC", not a specific product: https://en.wik

by deaddodo 2y ago
I find it weird that that list is titled "BASIC dialects " but then lists implementations. There are a couple dozen implementations of the Microsoft BASIC dialect (and another half dozen BASICA), for instance.

The thing about Microsoft's BASIC suite was that it wasn't generally bad (it was their launching software, after all), it was just generic. So implementations for different platforms could vary in quality depending on necessary in

It's unlikely he changed, he just stepped away from business management and so doesn't need to don that cap any longer. Personality compartmentalization is a fascinating thing.

And, as added reading, The Radioactive Boy Scout . Just for a perspective on how abundant and readily available that information had become in academia a few decades later.

GPU manufacturers have no reason to include additional memory chips of no use on a card. This isn't like a cutdown die, which is a single piece with disabled functionality...the memory chips are all independent (expensive) pieces solde

You're correct, thanks for the clarification. I was going more with the colloquial understanding of the two (analog = continuous; digital = discrete) and was trying to touch on the vagueness of no true analog clock with the reference t
282.
by deaddodo 2y ago
You literally just defined the difference between digital (binary) and analog (gradation). A digital clock is 1:01 or 1:02. An analog clock is some tick of some range (depending on the resolution, as you abstracted), at all times.

Your example is akin to there being a very clear "No Jaywalking sign", jaywalking anyways because you see no traffic/others doing it, having a cop hit you with a ticket, and then complaining that the cop is abusing his power.

The blurb is there because Germans are stereotypically terrible at humor (especially irony and sarcasm). It's a metajoke. I can only hope you're being ironic, in missing that; or it's now doubly meta.

Yeah, I feel like anyone making this statement hasn't done any sort of wide cross-compilation in the past, let alone of an entire OS. It should be a basic expectation, but most certainly isn't one in the real-world. Especially w

We're not talking about either, we're talking about consent.

Certainly, which is 100% a discussion about how to better present information. It still doesn't change the fundamental right to consent.

How is what you said different from what I said? Other than your unrealized personal expectations and emotionally-loaded pedantry.

Right. And the fact that a BMW 2-series exists means that BMW can't sell all the 7-series' that they want. They're cutting down 4090s into 4080s to fulfill a demand for a cheaper chip, while still supplying their premium opti

I don't even understand why binning non-defect cards is dubious. It's like the logic people have on /r/pcmasterrace is that if they didn't bin, they would just release all 4090s at 4080 prices. No, there would just
