It only supported 320x200 as resolution at the time though.

I remember writing my own bootloader for my DOS-successor OS project with its own FS when I was 17. Never got around other than running a primitive kernel that just displayed text on the screen though. Fun times! https://gist.gi

Sure. They block older generation CPUs too regardless of TPM 2.0 support. There's just a possibility for some newer CPU models.

some Dell XPS series come with "Intel PTT" option in BIOS which provides TPM 2.0 functionality. That might open up the upgrade path, FYI.

There's a Turkish saying, "a human will [use] this, a human!", to signify that the thing is so abnormal/out-of-proportion that it doesn't seem to be made for people. The verb changes based on the context. If you had

But, there is no conditional path when the type system can assure the compiler that there is nothing to be conditional about. Do they mean that it's impossible to be 100% sure about if there's a conditional path or not?

Yeah I don't understand the argument. If you can't convince the compiler that that branch will never be taken, then I strongly suspect that it may be taken.

The document is now five years old and full of statements like “we’ll see that in the upcoming years”. I think it’s due for an update.

For example, Unicode escaping seems incompatible. JSON’s “\u1234” format isn’t in the spec. There is a different syntax: “\u{123456}”

It was extremely impressive that they had managed to fit the whole running OS in a floppy. I don't remember Linux ever running on a single floppy; it was at least two (bootdisk + rootdisk).

I have AT&T Fiber and it's been /64 since forever. I even called tech support who confirmed that they only provide /64 prefix length to home customers. How come did you manage to get a /56?

Email was once the user interface for all remote services. Bitnet had nodes that responded to commands and performed operations that sent the results in email. For instance, you could send an email to "TRICKLE@TREARN" on Bitnet
