And so was Spirited Away. And so was even Mononoke Hime. That one was released in 1997. Miyazaki has been serial-retiring for close to 25 years!

I remember seeing promotion for a system that places localized ads in real time in sports broadcast. Isn't that or something like it used nowadays?

I don't remember where I had the suspension from, but I definitely had it from somewhere else. I may have bought a few missing pieces, though, or improvised. Details from 30 years ago are fuzzy :)

I was more into computers than into Legos when the 8880 came out, but I liked this one: http://www.technicopedia.com/8865.html ... which I never actually had, but I had enough pieces from other sets to build one from the pi

Interestingly, in Algerian Arabic, while other numbers are similar, two is different. It's zouj (one syllable). Except when counting e.g. twenty two, where it is similar to ithnayn (more like t'nin) BTW, it's similar to Germa

But llvm-config only works for the exact clang/llvm version it comes with. You can't use it to find any install of clang/llvm on your system.

It's 110 yens, now ;) (consumption tax went up to 8% a few years ago and to 10% more recently)

by glandium 5y ago
Note that 100yen shops used to be 100yen tax included before the consumption tax went from 3 to 5%. So overnight, prices there went from 100yen to 105yen.

Note that one part of this is that llvm is significantly faster to generate code for arm64 than for x86_64. I'm not saying that accounts for all the difference, but it helps.

My first Linux install was in 1995 or 1996 with kernel 1.2.x and a functional desktop required way much more than a single floppy disk. IIRC, the kernel alone (with initrd) was taking one disk. I'm curious when "lightweight Linux&

There are significant differences in what's on shift+numbers. Like ( is on 8 and ) on 9. (IIRC they are on 9 and 0 on US keyboards) Other non alphabetical keys have different location too.

The funny part is that to this day, many places still show ¥ instead of \ in Japanese locales, even with UTF-8. Starting with the Windows command line prompt. And on the opposite side, in a terminal, on macOS, hitting the ¥ key inputs a \,

The lineup for LR is not exactly inspiring. I don't see any of them standing a chance (although I don't know Juvin), unfortunately. Really, as I see it, the best case scenario would be Le Pen not being on the second round, but the
