The Vampire is now also standalone, so you can buy a new Amiga with superior specs.

Isn't Clojure a relative newcomer for it to influence language design in general? A stepping stone to more mainstream languages perhaps? I hardly saw a Clojure program so please elaborate.

Something similar in thought (but less generic), was the concept of "datatypes" in AmigaOS. It meant software could seamlessly import and export data in formats even though it had no knowledge of its internal representation. A wor

Hypothetically, polishing turds and giving them away is also thankless work. Not saying musl is, don't know the first thing about it.

Only if the photo itself was in colour and broadcast in colour. It's the other way around I was thinking of - a still shot (in black and white) of a PAL or NTSC signal would still contain enough information to decode the colour now, in

Wow, what a badermeinhof, yesterday I tinkered with installing the virtual camera plugin in OBS to prank my coworkers with some Fraggle Rock action. Video works, but not audio. Which maybe is just as well for my use case. Oh. Yeah, the self

The deficit, forget the deficit. That's just a number. What matters is how money (and the deficit) is allocated as percentages across the economy. And my guess is that this package will further tilt the percentage towards those that sh

I thought it would be a lean management or economics piece of how low margins are essential to a smooth economy. Or a denouncing thereof. You know, in the days of hospitals being run on just-in-time deliveries.

I agree, but also want to add more of the outsider perspective. Norway was part of NATO. Sweden was not. Even if Sweden would have had insight into that both NATO and Soviet had mistaken beliefs about each other, it would still had made s

Yes I can understand how it could end up like that, it’s just that I think there must be a better way by now.

My dreams are often pretty chaotic. It would be very uncharacteristically solemn for me to write something and check if it's there when I look again. I haven't tried, but I can imagine blinking lights always present would be a muc

I find it strange that ships mix water runoff, antifreeze, hydraulic oil, engine oil seepage etc etc into a huge big mixed bilge tank and then try to separate it with an oil separator. Strange.

So? Flocking etc aims to remove everything but the water itself. Still, heavy metals is not something you want in the sludge either.

There is a similar problem with digitized photos, for instance from glass plates. Often they had notes in margins or on the backside, but many scanning efforts didn't take these into account. So a lot is lost forever, either because th

That's amazing! I wonder if there are still photographs floating around which could be colour decoded too.

This I have wondered many times even since a kid but even now I think I would have had a hard time asking the question right. Thanks!

We know Russia does not care about Sweden. It didn't care much back then either, except that Sweden was completely surrounded by NATO on one side, and the Soviet realm on the other. To get to Norway in time you'd have to go throug

It was madness, yet for Sweden and Norway to prepare that way was a local optimum and a rational choice. (Not the only choice, but not a crazy choice.) Nobody wanted to start a great war, but at least during a couple of incidents things

The fighting in Berling was teenagers, sometimes preteens wielding the Faust. They called it "panzerknacken" i.e. "armour knocking" or "armour smashing".

Terms such as "the end of history" were popular for a while, so I think a big part of it was a huge sigh of relief after the Cold War. Even during the heyday of the Cold War, some thought defence was futile, some thought it would

I don't understand what you find offensive with that statement. Do you mean to suggest rich people are always hit as hard as poor people?
