Addition modulo 2 paired with xor is a motherfucker ie a very difficult problem. That’s not even considering rotation of intermediate results.

Crypto mining with fpga was in the weeds down this path, or 100 Gbps signal processing. Two examples where low level stuff is still relevant, just not commodity and widely available like the 8 bit micros were.

I’m a noob when it comes to Pokémon, I only learned to play with my kids. Seems like Pokémon alway devolves to who has the strongest (most hp, best attacks) characters. Sure there are all the special attacks, deck manipulation that can be d

The best is when they start making “dad” jokes of their own, back at you. I had no idea 4 or 5 year olds could do it but they can.

An intercept of Oumuamua is what I’d like to see happen. LEO fuel depots should enable that, I don’t have numbers to support that though.

The “news” section shows the last release was in 2019. Not that it matters really. I never used gallium, because other distros just worked. Flash the bios with mr chromebox firmware and install whatever. I’ve been using Ubuntu 14 now 18 on

I’ve seen too many layoffs where critical people were fired, and experienced the resulting train wrecks first hand, to have any sympathy for companies or management in this regard. Team mates yes, psychotic dystopian organizations? Hell no!

One benefit of distro hopping is that to do it you must have all your data and projects available externally somewhere, so that’s a great starting point in general. Me, I found vanilla xubuntu fit my needs perfectly so I just reinstall ever

I actually picked up an old book on os/360 assembler at a library sale some years ago. Back in those days assembler was the what applications were coded in. Some of the airlines had their reservation systems in it until fairly recently

As a US Army 19k (m1a1 crewman) stationed in Germany in the 80’s and 90’s, this is the fight we trained for incessantly. A horde of then soviet armor; we had A10s, Apaches, javelins, all that built just for this. No sane person courts war,
