Your current _watch_ is faster than an Alpha AXP. (If you have an Apple Watch) the early ones only pushed in the low hundreds of MIPS. It's crazy to me how my whole-ass DECServer with 2x EV4's wouldn't even be a good peripher

NT's support for multiplexed interactive user sessions is piss-poor and has always come with a CAL restriction that was _absurd_. To this day there's no real "multiuser on consoles". (Yes yes, Citrix, rdp, Powershell Rem

Yeah, we should vote for the other party to punish the--what? That's their platform? Oh. Posts like this, which blame only the Democrats by name, are practically agitprop.

The thing that gets me is that "paedophile" is an easy bogey man to let us point fingers because literally everyone (no offense ace folk) has at one time been attracted to minors. And we are embedded in a Patriarchal society that

Dinosaurs are still around. Everyone got used to it. The only people to be affected will be people like Ken Ham, and literally NOTHING is getting through to them at this point.

And then because on screen keyboards suck so bad we had to make phones BIGGER which meant they needed to be THINNER which meant cameras needed to stick out, and here we are, in a world where an iPhone Pro Max takes up the full height of my

Your sort of responses to climate alarms are always the most disingenuous. We are consuming water from places where it has been relatively static, at rates far beyond its natural replenishment rate. THAT'S the issue. Yes, this is a clo

Carbohydrate intake has many factors including 'speed of processing' which is retarded by the presence of fiber and fat. So while a serving of muesli might 30g of carbohydrates it also will have 5g of fat and fiber and protein, wh

At this point we are in some sort of 'space station ecosystem collapse' situation and we need to start acting like it and completely change how capitalism works. So... we're fucked.

I can only assume that shorts increase ad revenue by decreasing the time between ad views and that's why they push them on users and creators. The government needs to step in and regulate ads, because ads destroy content and at some po

We really need to start taking a game-theory[?] attitude to any public service that involves money exchange, to prevent "viral capitalism" from piggybacking on the underlying necessity.

Hold on, let me turn my TeamOS/2 mug around so it can't see me type this... Firstly, NeXTStep came out in 1989, and had both preemptive multitasking and threads, and OS X 1.0 didn't really improve on NeXTStep in that area at

"there were lots of other people around at that time whose lineages gradually died out" It seems to me that if those lineages aren't in the DNA data, then they didn't --in the intervening years-- intermix with the lineag

Apple wanted one FS across all devices and ZFS's ARC makes that less than useful in memory-starved phones (and base model Airs amirite?) ZFS's separate cache meant that the better choice was APFS. Once they got around to writing i

You can add devices as vdevs to a pool, though. You can't add disks to a vdev. (IIRC) It's no different to LVM in that aspect.

It's almost as if the drive to end fossil fuel use and build vast mixed-use Arcologies at the end of the 70's were good ideas that conservative politicians overturned and here we are in the hell they made for us, trying to fend of
