You can read that as "for the games I've played". I have played zork and the common interface works as expected. "look" "examine" "n""s""e""w" etc.

I think at the time of writing payphones where still so common that it was hard to imagine a world without them. The payphones are also quite fundamental to hacking culture due to the roots in "phone phreaking" which is used in th

Don't forget to count people that require screen readers, this is often a less vocal minority that often depend on CLI tools for interaction with the computer.

I feel like a lot of people don't internalize this. The features don't matter as long as people put up the price for what they require. The job of the salesman/marketing team is to bet on a balance that will net the company m

The way I see it, port knocking may not be a valid security measure but it can be a good filter. It will allow you to filter out port scanning and other mass cracking attempts. My opinion is that being able to filter out noise and false pos

Focusing on one market, by for instance releasing new programs in that market first does not mean you can't outsell in another market (Europe or Asia). It just means that those markets will follow your main market. USA is the home coun

I wonder why a lot of SBC comparisons leave out the Intel up-board line of products.

Those are improvements overall for the environment and safety of course. However as usually improvement in one area is not necessary an improvement in another area. I was referring to "sport" performance of a car or ICE engine th

by trashb 1y ago
Actually ICE has improved significantly in the last 20 years, even though progress was held back by emission and safety regulations. In the year 2000 a sports car would have around 200/250hp while these days any sports car that wants t

Tesla mostly focused on the American market anyway. In my understanding there are a lot of facilities for Tesla's that we don't have in Europe like the program where you can buy a refurbished Tesla from Tesla. Additionally there i

I think there are other factor's beside the battery and EV's being dumped in the market that may affect the resale value that are not mentioned in the article. First of all I believe that the car manufactures (especially for elect

Sure it is a preference and that may differ. I agree "HN is excellent" you only need to change the "85%" on the main table to your preference, in my case "70ch" in your case to "100%". I do wonder how

Don't forget one of the latest automotive mistakes, the "wet timing belt". This is a rubber timing belt (not a chain) that runs through your engine oil disintegrating and clogging up your oil filters. If anyone here owns a ca

Yes but consider that they may need more electronics repairs. A car is a notoriously bad environment for electronics and this is not a solved issue. On top of that most modern cars, especially electric cars are so tightly integrated with al

Isn't there already a lot of separate implementations around color handling? It would be good to unify it, perhaps some of the distributions can also have a hand in it. terminfo also has "Mono mode" with the "-m" su

The 50-70 CPL is, in general, just well suited to reading. This has been researched, and by quickly searching I can find the following (beautifully layed out) paper: https://journals.uc.edu/index.php/vl/article&#x2

This is not a systems issue this is a UI issue, the state status needs to be communicated to the user. It is ridiculous to retrofit locally first to a app that pretends to the user that it is always online. Social media could allow you to m

no, this does not make sense. The "outer" in outer space suggests an inner space. In this case earth because we have historically held a earth centrist view since humans primarily live on earth. The case that earth is inside of ou
