The last release to support 32-bit x86 hardware for popular distros was: Distro | Release | Support | Extended Support -------------|---------|---------|------------------ SLES 11 | 2009-03 | 2019-03 | 2022-03 | 2028-03

They aren't ending support for 32-bit Windows. If the ratio of 32/64 bit users on Linux matched those on Windows, then this would affect 0.5% of their users.

My impression is that a large portion of the industry is already structured as distilleries that actually make the liquor, like MGP, and a bunch of labels that put their names on it (each different). Like how many name-brand items across gr

I have both OSMAnd and Organic Maps installed, but I usually end up reaching for OSMAnd. I like the softer color scheme of Organic Maps better, but not the decrease in detail. Neither are perfect about choosing when/where to draw stree

There are a lot of computations where 256 is too small of a range but 65536 is overkill. When designers of early computers were working out how many digits of precision their calculations needed to have for their intended purpose 12 bits co

Yeah, and frankly a lot of it is the military's fault for outsourcing too much service and repair to contractors to begin with. If you look at the proposed law, all it is doing is requiring the military to write contracts in a manner t

The damage to the trailing edge of the aft flaps was caused by whatever took out the skirt. You can see they are torn up and sheet metal flapping long before they start to descend and heat up. It is possible they would have held up to the h

I love the flavor of Catfish. I don't think I've ever had it where I thought it tasted bad. In fact I find most other fish bland and flavorless (Salmon being the other main exception). Fine as a neutral base to a recipe that provi

But for a scraper to be effective it has to load orders of magnitude more pages than a human browses, so a fixed delay causes a human to take 1.1x as long, but it will slow down scraper by 100x. Requiring 100x more hardware to do the same j

For people who were actually interested in using Ada, the early poor tooling was the main impediment. However, I think the bigger issue is that it was moving directly against the cultural headwinds at the time. The immediate response I hear

It sounds like they are talking about the i860 which was launched and failed in the market. While it is possible that it might have had more success if Intel chose to abandon the x86 line with its launch, I think it is more likely that it w

But many of the language decisions that make Python so slow don't make code easier to write correctly. Like monkey patching; it is very powerful and can be useful, but it can also create huge maintainability issues, and its existence a

One use of Python as a "glue language" I've seen that actually avoids the performance problems of those bindings is GNU Radio. That is because its architecture basically uses python as a config language that sets up the compu

I really did like the actual lane-keeping function of my Mom's Subaru when I drove it on narrow two-lane roads, intentionally hugging the outside of the lane when appropriate. The sound it made wasn't annoying or startling, and qu

There is nothing bad about that. The opposite phased sounds it plays genuinely do cancel out the vibrations from the original noise, decreasing the magnitude of the vibrations hitting your ear drum.

But that hasn't changed much between the 80s and now. It was bad then and it is bad now. So I don't see it being a significant factor for change in socialization on that timescale.
