I never get over the weird feeling seeing something like Windows 95 which was released with such spectacle, Jay Leno and millions of dollars in launch events, requiring the latest available PC equipment to boot the same day, and of course t

It would make the compression take a (tiny) hit. In your test case being dominated by a solid color patch (which describes many screen shots), it would make no practical difference.

You’re right, I’ve never seen a home theater built in a shitter. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be done!

Performance was not improved directly, gcc was terrible. Gcc development had actually stagnated for basically all of the early 90s and there was considerable discontent leading to a long forgotten but high profile fork: egcs. This work even

This was the toolchain used to build and ship Quake. Prior to that id, like everyone used Watcom C/C++ with the DOS/4GW extender.

All of the resources needed for day to day medicine will fit on a small thumb drive (so any phone) and can be update with just a few hundred megabytes per month (including media). It’s nice the internet makes things easier to get to, but

Because there were other networks that were not the internet and did not evolve into it. They were literally "something else". And for that matter the early Internet is nothing like the current day internet in terms of access. So

And that sharing could have occurred just as well over specialized networks for the relatively few experts that were able to use it sensibly.

You’re right. Though it is the scenario in my head playing out of someone slaving over an architecture optimization manual while, zoom out, editing Python that was comical, rather than making fun of anyone specifically.

LOL. The amount of machinery going on under the hood in evaluating those expressions in CPython is staggering. A microscopic detail like a single instruction data dependency has nothing to do with it. (How many CPU add instructions are exec

All major GUI toolkits are ultimately implemented on some immediate mode drawing system. So I don’t see the point. (You’re literally just unfactoring what a GUI library does behind the scenes into your loop.) When you unsimplify your exampl

If your entire system ran with immediate mode GUIs your performance would either be in the toilet or battery life would be destroyed (or both). They’re great for games and GPU where you’re in a for a pound anyway. There are some music apps

No it isn’t, vendor prefixes are sort of an anachronism. Bit 41 - bit 1 of the first octet is reserved for local (random) use. That and the group bit (40) set to 0 means the second digit of the human readable MAC is 2, 6, A or E, but that’s
