Despite being SGI branded hardware, this was after the name was bought by Rackable and IIRC, SGi hardware became essentially rebadged Rackable hardware. Still cool, but not as cool as some custom MIPS hardware from old SGI.

As I replied to a sibling comment, if a population is being oppressed, we write laws to protect them.

Not dissimilar to the civil rights movement, laws need to be put in place to protect an oppressed population. Humans are humans, why do we have to keep learning this lesson?

The Texas case is a great example of the hysteria. The risk was to the child, which had a low likelihood of survival after birth, but not a zero chance. There is a woman in her 40s with the condition. Drs. Could not show how it would reason

There are no states, that I’m aware of, that would not permit abortions that threaten the mother’s life. I’m about as pro-life as is possible, and I’ve never met a person arguing against saving a mother of it requires terminating a pregnanc

Currently it may be true that Californians pay (slightly) more to the federal government than they get back when compared to Texas (17.8% vs 20.5%)[0], that wasn’t always the case. In 2016, for example, California was bringing back around 2

> We could have public libraries be entirely outside the copyright system. As I mentioned in a sibling comment, extending the right of first sale to digital goods would benefit everyone without requiring a special exception for libraries

by jonhohle 3y ago
My opinion is that right of first sale should extend to digital goods and if publishers provide no legal means to lend or transfer works from one to another than the owner should be able to do so by whatever means they choose. Legally this

This is just an anecdote, but it’s over a decade old, so I don’t think I’m giving away any secret sauce. When I worked on Prime we were trying to build a program to get the top 100 items that someone would want within an hour fulfillable in

The low latency only works when the source is sending an analog signal which is essentially controlling the electron gun. An NES for example, could decide between scan lines what the next scaling to emit would look like. Most modern systems

I’ve done a lot of archival of CD-ROM based games, and it’s not clear to me this is possible without a lot of coordination and consistency (there are like 7 programs that use AccurateRip, )and those only deal with audio). I have found zero

Maybe this is a joke that’s over my head, but the OP wants a system where damaged media can be repaired. They have the damaged media so there’s no way to make a hash of the content they want.

In the distant past iTunes was great at this (really). Insert a disc, its metadata is pulled in automatically, it’s ripped and tagged using whatever coded settings you want and when it’s done the disc is ejected. Watch a show do some other

The computers are 100,000x more powerful and electron apps can bring multi core systems with 16GB of memory to their knees. Coming from a 25MHz 486SX with 1MB of RAM to now, it’s disheartening that as a profession we’ve prioritized develope

Premiere H2O has a system that dumped the water into the hot water line, similar to a hot water loop, but in reverse. There’s a lot of caveats with that arrangement (doesn’t really work with a tankless water heater, for example).
