In terms of circles, angles, and, well, geometry in general, it's pretty hard to argue against the claim that pi is more important than ten.

Pedantically, the SI standard[1] defines the term "radian" as a "special name[] for the number one that may be used to convey information about the quantity concerned." [1] https://www.bipm.org/utils&#x2F

I have never even heard of a metric angular unit. Well, the radian measurement of a plane angle can be defined as a ratio of the length of a circular arc divided by the length of the arc's radius, so the "metre per metre"

Better yet, use any keyboard you like, and remap (left) Windows to a different key code, ideally corresponding to some key that's not present on your current keyboard layout and that, unlike the Windows key, is fully remappable by Auto

This reminds me of a time when I sort of did the opposite: I networked a serial-only DEC PDP-11/83 running 2.11BSD using SLiRP running on a Power Mac…I want to say 7500; what I remember is that it was one of the earliest models with PC

Just for fun: An LTO-8 tape is 960 m long and 5.6 µm thick. A standard-length ANSI-standard 9-track is 2,400 ft long and 0.0015 in thick. So naïvely assuming you could spool about 2,400 ft * (0.0015 in / 5.6 µm) worth of LTO-8 tape on

I agree! Circa 1998, I got a tip from a friend in university IT and "rescued" a few NeXTstations and associated peripherals (displays, mice, keyboards) from an Indiana University dumpster. I emailed NeXT, and they were nice enough

In addition to POST, many servers and workstations have option ROMS (NIC, storage) that, if enabled, can add seconds to boot time; if unused, these can typically be disabled in firmware setup. With that said, POST on my Z820 workstation pro

You can remap all G502 buttons to HID mouse button events, just not using any Logitech-supplied software. Fortunately, these mappings are persistent, so reconfiguring the mouse from a Linux VM, once and for all, was, for me at least, a re

Another thing I miss is the near-ubiquitous AppleScript support, at least in terms of major applications. As frustrating as AppleScript is as a programming language — speaking as someone who curses it on a near-weekly basis — it's stil

While "any current x86-64 PC" is an exaggeration — UEFI-only systems, in particular, won't boot any version of DOS or Windows 9x — drivers may be less of a problem than you think: - Even fairly recent systems with hybrid UEFI
