A very long time ago, and for reasoning totally lost in my then young mind, I bought a book on SNOBOL, and promptly got bored trying to read it. Decades later and Python is my language of choice.

As someone who learned COBOL in British college in the late 1980's, I can confirm that the language was/is quite readable and accessible. I still have the COBOL textbook from back then; Andrew Parkin, COBOL For Students, second ed

My local NHS dentist told me four of my bottom front row teeth were "dead" and needed lots of treatment involving needles and drills and such, otherwise they'd start rotting away and get painful and so on... Oh and that I nee

Luckily - and for now at least - it looks like A1111's account has been re-enabled.

Looks like it has indeed. Can't edit the title of my submission now. Oh well! Edit: Thanks whoever updated the title!

https://twitter.com/jsrailton/status/1606195077939744768 seems to be the new working URL.

Weird. New URL is at : https://twitter.com/jsrailton/status/1606195077939744768 apparently, and it worked for me just now.

> The latter is, as I said, a well-known slur that any Jew would find offensive. You'd be incorrect, as I happen to know a Jew who some might consider "based" and knowingly says things like "...so I Jewed it..."

Depends on how good your spacecraft is at speeding up and slowing down, really. There are many designs which could probably do this relatively (heh) quickly. I'm sure producing one of these things is more possible right now than freezi

The whole post was made in "humorous irony" ;) However, successfully producing a relativistic spaceship is probably more possible right now than successfully creating and reviving human corpsicles... just sayin' ;)

If one of the reasons for wishing to be frozen, is to see what the future looks like, then there is an alternative; Einstein to the rescue! Just strap yourself into a spaceship capable of reaching within a few % of the speed of light, and f

Okay here's a typical example... Try running Stable-Diffusion, specifically the Automatic1111 version, and merging various checkpoints. On my 32GB PC, after doing a few merges, the linux kernel is beginning to use many GBs of swap. Fur

Indeed, that is included within the subset of "quite RAM-hungry applications" :)

Some people can use some quite RAM-hungry applications, therefore the more RAM available to those the better.

To be fair, the people who labelled themselves as "Elon Musk" should have labelled themselves as "Elon Musk (parody)" or similar. That way, they automatically label their tweets as parody, and don't have to include

Great article. The amount of things I've learned by going it alone on past and present projects... Working alone meant I could do things at my own pace, be the 'benevolent dictator' to myself, and to style a look & feel f

If anyone is interested in watching how real airline pilots use MSFS 2020 and yes even X-Plane 11, I have a couple of suggestions; V1-Simulations is a real airline Captain who flies Airbus : https://www.youtube.com/user&#x2F

Glad someone mentioned Xrdp. Some years ago I made a WYSIWYG customisation utility to configure not just Xrdp sessions, but also the look and feel of the Xrdp login manager : https://scarygliders.net/xrdpconfigurator/

I don't /perceive/ any audio latency, the game sound seems fine to me. Talking about Elite: Dangerous specifically - I use the VM to develop my E:D 3rd party application.

I have a libvirt VM running Windows with GPU passthrough to the GTX1070 (the main GPU is the RTX 2070 Super) and use looking-glass-client and scream to pass the audio to Linux, which I use for gaming. No need to even multi boot, though I do

I agree with what you say. I've witnessed more than enough software with absolutely abysmal UI/UX and don't have time for that myself - except for when I really need to, like this one truly abysmal phone app for an energy com

From a very young age I rejected eating cucumber. It never "tasted right" to me, and it always makes me have horrible cucumber-flavoured burps. Blech! I can't abide grapefruit or melon either, though I don't know if thos
