I'd be surprised if 6502-based computers really ran OK at 100MHz: surely you'd run into EMI or timing issues when using the same motherboard at 100 times the original clock speed?

Ah OK, I stand corrected. Looks like my pipe dream of getting a Unix derivative as unified as Windows stays unattainable then (although KDE Neon was pretty good last time I tried it, from a Settings point of view anyway)

Which BSD has its own desktop environment? Which BSD has centralized, discoverable settings? (discoverable meaning I don't have to dig into man pages to figure out what to do). BSD is better but still doesn't go far enough IMO. FW

Of the ones you listed, consistency is the big downside for me. It seems like there's multiple options for everything in the Linux ecosystem. From the beginner questions (e.g., which distro), to the nerdy questions (e.g., systemd vs sy

Reminds me of Tom Scott's video on timezones [1], where he shows how what time zone a user is in can depend on things like ethnicity: apparently, when the West Bank goes on and off Daylight Savings depends on whether you're among

Everything in Linux is a file, right?

I think it's also popular among some Jewish people, because they're OK with giving dates in terms of Jesus but they don't believe he was Christ/the Messiah.

Of course the modern "scaleable" solution is to ask ChatGPT if the number is even or odd, and then print ChatGPT's response.

Surely any solution that claims to be performant would use a binary search, rather than looping through every number. Would be a little trickier to generate the code though. Edit: /s of course

As of last May, they had 1360 battery swap stations across China, where in less than 5 minutes the battery can automatically be swapped out for a fully charged one. They are also starting to build stations in Europe. So they really are tryi

Blue lights are banned on cars in lots of places (so that you don't look like a cop car). I'm assuming SAE has thought of this already? It doesn't look too similar to the bright blue lights on cop cars, but still.

What do you mean by "critical"? Do you mean stuff that everyone will have to do, like changing mouse speed? Installing programs? The more obscure stuff, like Event Viewer? The really obscure changes that currently need registry ha

Interesting. To my untrained eye, this looks like its only purpose is to produce spaghetti code. What's a scenario where this is actually desirable? (I.e., where you actually want to be able to access the stack frame of a parent functi

Yes, typically the savings would be in the weight and physical size of the wiring harness (as well as possibly allowing for tighter bend radii). You'd design for a max amount of heat generated by the wiring harness, or possibly a max v

Don't wait until I've given you access to my Google account to tell me that it's a paid service... that's just scummy and a fantastic way to lose me as a customer. Seen a lot of hype around this, but please at least be t

I'm no python expert, but if python really has a way to define named functions inside an expression, I'm not sure I want to know how to do it...

Well technically, Intel and AMD both use the regular system RAM for their integrated graphics VRAM, but I see what you mean.

I'm in the same boat. Firefox and Ublock origin, and I never see ads, and have never noticed a significant slowdown.

Your anecdote about JP7 being hard to light in fire is also true for pump gas. The liquid gas is not flammable, only the aerosolized gas is.

It does give you regen, but not 100%, because you need to activate the semi's brakes to use it. So there's no way to just use the regen braking like there is in a normal electric car.

Seems like a shame that you can't just put a control in the cab to control the amount of trailer braking, like how the Jake brake is separate from the brake pedal. But I get that they want to maintain backwards compatibility with exist

Through software. The Vehicle Control Unit can control the torque going to each motor independently, and can view the current speed of each motor. By looking at longitudinal acceleration vs motor speed, you can see if the wheels are slippin

Technically, you can sometimes measure the motor position without a position sensor by measuring the back EMF (although I doubt Tesla is doing this, IIRC it's hard to get good starting torque out of this setup)

Not many details to go off of here. Looks neat though, like a modern VW Doka.

This is almost completely unrelated but when my mom was growing up she was very excited when her parents once told her that they would be travelling on a fairy. She was disappointed to find that, contrary to her assumption, they would be tr

Working well for me. Looks good on mobile. Thanks for not putting a bunch of useless crap all over the screen like a lot of these kinds of sites do.

This paper discusses Boeing's early use of CAM and CAD in the 50s and 60s. If you didn't know, CAM stands for Computer Aided Manufacturing, and CAD stands for Computer Aided Design. Together, the two are the basis of much of &quot
