Wrong. The 386SX is a 32-bit CPU with a 16 bit external data bus. It is fully 32-bits internally, same as the DX model.

Pi 4 is quad core 1.5 GHz. One core could probably emulate at least 400 MHz of Z80. Four cores should handle the full load.

Straw man. It's not ICE policy to sexually abuse anyone. Sexual abusers are hidden everywhere. We might as well ban every large organization from GitHub by that reasoning. Yes the children are temporarily separated from their (alleged)

This random death is not comparable to a guaranteed death sentence in a holocaust gas chamber. That was a lame disingenuous cherry picked example, out of millions of deportees. Obviously, people will eventually die somewhere, one way or ano

Do you actually believe that the punishment for illegal immigration is death? Are you suggesting that being forced to return to Mexico is equivalent to being sent to a gas chamber? Sounds racist. What an insult to Mexico!

Sounds like you're not aware of the changes since Java 8 (2014). This is idiomatic Java nowadays: http://sparkjava.com

Not even close. This is simple mechanical pattern recognition. It's an overpriced, overhyped code linter. See this example https://d1.awsstatic.com/re19/Screenshot_Catch-Code-Issue_2%...

Bullshit. You are vastly overestimating the "intelligence" of this overpriced linter. It mechanically detects patterns. See this example: https://d1.awsstatic.com/re19/Screenshot_Catch-Code-Issue_2%... The ki

Yes obviously you would just choose not to submit those irrelevant PRs to this extremely overpriced linter (it's not a code reviewer)

You're confusing foreign exchange conversion with accounting arithmetic. Two different things.

"Gremlin" is way too perfect for this type of application. The graph traversal API should not have wasted this name.

Pair programming was never intended to be a full time mode of development. Half an hour once a week (or whenever) is good enough, and can help with mentoring junior developers. But it is really moronic to do that full time.

You have no idea how Google solved it. Basically everyone with a Monorepo (except Google) implements it as a cargo cult best practice. Mindlessly copying Google without understanding how Google actually does it.

Yes that's right. But that's a limited scenario. Not the true unbounded VR experience that we really wanted.

VR sickness still applies, even if you have perfectly realistic rendering, infinite frame rate, infinite resolution, perfect tracking, and zero latency. It's caused by a discrepancy between the visual and vestibular systems. That probl
