   You have to be an adult to get a tattoo. Because by then, you're expected to be able to make a well-informed descision and be able to think of possible coonsequences. Why on earth would a child be allowed to decide on life-changing or

   So you basically brute-force your way through? Like, you load or generate a sine wave as a sample and just keep changing the numbers until you've got a rough idea of what does what? I guess nowadays it's easier to read the source

   Intuitive? I never thought anyone would ever describe something as arcane as a tracker intuitive. I can't think of something worse. Pure Data comes close.

   You could use the framework built-in sqlite, or you could drop in h2 and use that. It's much more advanced than sqlite.

   It happens that my fastest computer (just below 3GHz) isn't fast enough to solve a challenge. Firefox bogs down, swap usage increases, 16GiB isn't even enough for a freaking JavaScript nowadays.

   Nah, that's a perfectly fine technical solution. Powers that be don't think like that. They understand pulling someone over to check their license, so something like that will do.

    Back then there was still GWK. You could buy rolls of nickels to add some weight to your savings, american dollars and other foreign monies. I'd buy myself a shitload of rupees (for a couple of tenners) if they were still around. Such

    There's modpacks, e.g. fabulously optimized. It makes mc playable but 256MiB basically gets you to the Java runtime nowadays.

    And the complexity of the governance structure is related to the amount of money involved. The weirdest thing is when the money of a non-profit NGO exceeds roughly 10e6, the decisions made by upper management tend to make an inversionally p

    Just configure wear leveling in your storage layer. FDE may be the easiest way ti do it. Writes will be done linearly in circular fashion. That makes it difficult to delete stuff, but with encryption it's moot.

    Xerox workstations were pretty much unheard of. A few might've seen a Mac. But most people haven't seen trash can functionality until MS-Windows 95 came out. Personally, I just love the sound of it. Modules were awesome and games

    When I took a computer course in the early 2000s, the teacher said like "look, this had a desktop called workbench and it even has a recycle bin in f$#ing 1985." Things could've so much better if upper management wasn't

    Yes, that's what bothers me. OLED was the newfangled improved technology, but I'd rather hold out until something better becomes affordable.

    They were second hand, idk. They were already burned when they arrived. Suffices for me to say I don't have much confidence in OLED.

    I don't buy a TV every 2 years, that's absurd. If I buy a TV, it better work for > 10 years.

    3 out of 4 OLED screens in my household suffer from burned pixels. It's the early 90s all over again with OLED.

    I use those scripts to improve the likelyhood it'll fail to do anything useful. I even used uname as a fuzzing tool, and that broke builds spectacularly. There's now a more reasonable uname in the sandbox for builds.

    Yes, and it's only possible thanks but no thanks to MicroSlop. And it's not like MS is too poor to do anything useful for their customers. They just don't want to unless the cost-benefit analysis pans out in their favor. The

    Good. Keep fighting the good fight, which isn't actually a "fight" but more a defense. When a service says I need MS-Windows, I don't need that service. I also don't opt in to the Apple/Google duopoly.
