I guess I must count myself lucky having lived through that optimism of the 1990ies. But perhaps those too young to really remember anything pre 9/11 have it easier to adapt to the state of the world today and I should therefore be env

Perhaps quite a bit more not impossible? We only know of the symbol use (if they were symbols) that happened on media that lasted tens of millennia. If they even painted symbols on deeply underground cave walls, they likely had them on many

And if soldering is beyond your optimization ambition, there's aliexpress where you can find small USB-PD adapters for most electric shavers. It's little niche innovations like this that drive my ordering flow, not saving a few ce

How will that hobby fare against gen-AI prompt composing? Synths and samplers and sequencers were once removed from playing real instruments, softsynths and DAW twice removed and now there's genAI, thrice removed and arguably the bigge

B-52 age is my favorite "yes, but" series: Yes, but the B-52H still in use are very different from the ones built in 1951. Yes, but the youngest B-52H was built in 1962. So much closer to the days of the Wright Flyer than to the p

They were Soviet nukes, not Russian. No different from the tanks and uniforms Ukraine inherited from the Soviet Union. Very different from the borrowed US and Soviet nukes both Germanies had in their inventories.

Was about to write roughly the same. But it's much more than that I think: when the stuff you sell to the other side can easily be substituted, from another supplier, domestically or by changing to ways that get by without, where'

So the difference is block everything until the dependency is available and then continue immediately, vs give up on time slots already reserved for downstream dependencies while continuing with those parts in the current schedule that are

What would the CPU do with the parts not marked as "can be statically scheduled"? I read it as they try it anyways and may get some stalling ("replay") if the schedule was overoptimistic. Not sure how a compiler marking

Do you? All I know about the readers of this post is that they either know how to read English, use some translation service or won't understand much of what I was writing. But even when you do know exactly who you're addressing,

Yeah, the things is, ownership isn't a natural concept. It's just a social construct. Without that, you own what's in your stomach, what you can hold in your hands and what you can sit on, until the moment you walk away. I be

Same. Amoled watches feel like TEXT IN ALL CAPS to me, screaming for attention when all they should do is make information available, vs force-feeding data. For attention, there's the vibration buzzer (which I absolutely love, so much

I guess it depends a lot on what you measure in "most": housing per head or housing in square feet? Lots of heads cramped into rented minimum viable housing. Lots of square feet held by owners who occasionally live there, when the

This. The mental model of an API with a frontend deployed as static resources just happens to be very attractive. Even more so when the SPA isn't the only frontend, or when you don't know that the SPA will remain the only fronte

I'd consider engines with HP in the two digits range not big. Few ICE cars (hybrid or not) are ever accelerated at the rate you could achieve with a 75 HP engine revved into the high but still safe range. People buy big engines so th

On paper, yes, but did that ever happen? Sorry for being sarcastic, but where I live the frugal hybrid is exceptionally rare and the "same big engine, but driving a much heavier car" hybrid is omnipresent. The kind of people who m

Outside, as in off the blockchain? That would mean that after the transaction, both sides would know the key to the wallet and there would be a race about who lights up a transaction first.
