I sold third at 180. I have seen it happen so many times in 50 years. You sit on your pile of gold and just watch it slowly disappear. But also selling ALL is a bad move, says one who sold all of Nokia at 1000 markka in 1996.

Not too talented crew. Remember the bloody flying starship in the beginning with parallax error. Why didnt they fix it ever? Whining on Arpanet had no effect.

My father got genuine Soviet Moskvich aimed for soviet domestic market in 1976. Piece of shit and pure comedy. I tried to start when I inherited it, but eventually needed nearest Soviet Citizen to start it. All you needed to do is to remove

I was forced out of Reddit by IP-number. I changed the MAC-number and that changed IP-number. Worked for a while, and then they banned half of the city. Which was funny and gained some notoriety at that time.

Hey @grok. Can you write FORTH using M5 macro processor? Thought for 1m 0s Yes, it's possible to implement a Forth interpreter or compiler using a macro processor like M4 (and by extension, its evolutionary successor M5, which shares s

On that note. I tried to make candle replacement out of yellow LEDs in the 1980-years. To read books in de tent. But no matter how many leds I added it just was not enough.

Hey @grok, there was something wrong with exec("a=1"), maybe the "a" turned into global or something? Thought for 45s Yes, you're spot on that there's a gotcha with exec("a=1")—it behaves unexpectedly

Forgot this is HN where everything is taken literally. Humour is [Flagged]. I myself made a Coin-Operated Telephone server, but in 1978 the processor was already cheaper and faster 8085.

"Mechanically" is funnier expression. But kinda true because it switched also trunk lines in some small PBX. 8080 was bloody expensive in 1976 and RAMs were too. I only heard about because I was employed to design something simila

Funniest 8080-era multitasker was made by Siemens in 1976. Instead of allocating memory from common RAM, they just switched small RAMs mechanically. You only needed to dump registers at each switch. Particularly economical in 8080 which is

OC72 was incredibly expensive, 300 marks. Children bus fare was 20 marks. In 1961. I tried to understand how it works with flashlight battery and lamp.

LiFePo4 + dummy is the best solution when there are 2 AA-batteries in series. Mostly because of 10000 charge cycles instead 500 of NiMH. Capacity is about %70, when we compare the bestest batteries. --- Correccion: LiFePo4 is better, but g

You could as well use any old Raspberry as go-between. If you use USB-tethering, the Raspberry will appear locally around 192.168.43.XX and you can termux-ssh into it and use mpremote therefrom.
