> What you never hear from them is alternative policies You’re not familiar with Keynes I guess. There are many many well thought out alternatives to austerity that have been shown to work. The problem with them is it’s harder to cushion

There are was a standard called P3P that would allow you to specify this kind of thing. However unsurprisingly for an industry driven by surveillance economics making this kind of thing doesn’t get that much traction unless you do things li

The original GTA had this, it was a really great original soundtrack. Probably had as much to do with the series’ original success!

Are you familiar with Robocop? Murphy had 4 basic rules installed: 1) serve the public trust 2) protect the innocent and 3) uphold the law, and a mysterious “fourth directive” This is what I fear about AI - that it will diligently, unwaveri

Like I say, if that was the solution it would have worked already. We have several iterations of CSS at this stage each solving the problems of the previous but if you want to develop a layout that people can actually use you still need to

> OpenGL 1.0 Not quite what I had in mind particularly because opengl was an abstraction layer designed to begin to resolve these kinds of issues in a more domain-oriented way. Go further back I’m thinking more about the 8-bit generation

Still the same problem. You’ve to get people to use the extensions. You mentioned a few “back in the day” examples and nobody uses these. CSS got the push and gained critical mass initially and that’s that. There’s been plenty of improvemen

You’d have to get people to use it. Like any established warty system, the warts provide just enough of a moat for established practitioners to keep it just the way it is.

I think there’s a historical reason for this, that probably made more sense back in the 90s … I seem to remember learning computer graphics back then and being similarly frustrated by the reversed notation. My guess is it goes back to raste

Rude, unhelpful, condescending and pedantic. All too common on HN but not at all clever.

Haha. I’m sorry if the terminology is catching you out. It’s not epoch time that floats. Epoch time is an inalienable absolute (at least in theory). However actual cosmological and time as perceived by humans does drift wrt to epoch time. W

by rusk 3y ago
Not in the future it’s not. There’s no way to know the exact epoch time until it has happened. Timestamps “float” and can accommodate local fluctuations or even changes.

I perhaps overpaid the simplicity of the early pi’s but the point I was was making that you missed was more of comparison between the pi4 and the earlier models. Thanks.

This is an interesting dichotomy: analogue vs digital - but I think there’s a third leg to it which is DSP. When your floor is a 1 MHz 6502 and you have a DSP running at many many multiples of that, you can mimic analogue circuits almost pe

Unfortunate the Pi 4 is more like a PC with a few layers of turtles between the user and the hardware. Up until then the pi were more like a microcontroller with a UI layer atop. You could peel that back and get at the raw goodies. The newe

It wasn’t clear to me what they meant. I’m not familiar with the details of boot.bin but my read of what GP was implying was you had to use the rapsbian kernel and drivers. Thanks for the information.

There’s a few popular bare metal projects. Pi 1541 springs to mind. So it is possible, tho perhaps only with earlier generations

My guess is they implemented EU policy (all states implement their owns laws to satisfy the various EU treaties) and they have notified the Irish DPC of their findings; and naturally expect Ireland to follow suit …

No I meant the standardised approach is the lowest common denominator. It’s the least common unit that has been agreed upon. Category Error at worst, but well within colloquial bounds.
