RE: culling, Yeah, there is stuff (I notice manga not reprinted since the 90s, they didn't hold up physically that well and they loaned mainly to teens) that I remember being common that has been culled. e.g. My library system doesn&#x

I wouldn't feel exactly comfortable doing that anywhere I've lived since I've began urban living, but here is a fun story (in the U.S, in a high crime city, but a lower crime area): Before I moved into my second college apart

I think that is correct, though I'm not sure if there is anyone who tracks the exact cause, maybe it would surprise us. Last time I heard about a violence against a taxi driver they were shot in the back in a carjacking, and then the a

I removed this from my (grand)parent post, since it was irrelevant, but since we're here: I had to help with dad's business every school break from age 13-21. Mainly renovation, a spec home, some sheds, rarely roofing. Small town

Are you sure this is true? You think the added risk of heart attack from software development is greater than the risk of death in construction? You think the rate of spine, eye, or hand injuries from typing all day is greater than the risk

There is low-level code that is as you describe, and low-level programmers who write it. Probably if printf is involved, it's not that "low level". Maybe this needs printf for a test suite, and talloc doesn't call it its

Well, 7g is about a quarter oz, so it's still imperial influenced at least. And in the US, we often refer to imperial amounts by their gram amounts as well. Especially in legal states I feel. Usual amounts are 1 gram, 3.5, 7, 14 and so

Honestly, inserting compression doesn't sound impossible. Difficult, but a few months and a team of people and it sounds achievable. Warez folks do some crazy stuff. However, I read some forums from the time, it sounds like the results

Oh yes, I remember padding the image, and Echelon, of course. I still have the tools somewhere in my backups. You mention the read speed issues, meaning the dreamcast drive was CAV. Were all data drives of the time CAV? Are audio CD players

Yeah, that is something. They thought better hardware protection was unnecessary because they believed in the strength of their software solution (which was quickly cracked)? The games could be larger, so that CDs could not fit them withou

No, I don't think so. They specifically talk about adding compression only into their newscast unit. Why would they data compress only one segment? Also, Compression sounds good. Too much, or badly configured compression sounds bad, ob

OK, here is yet another musical representation method that you may find interesting (especially if you have a modern bent): Take a tune, and now arrange some graph paper like the "note pattern view" in a sequencer, with one differ

I think I saw a few of these discs at Weird Stuff Warehouse in Sunnyvale. I've also seen some non-vhs, non-beta video cassettes around. A collection of music videos on some quite large cassette format, almost double the size of VHS at

You don't want to develop that here, that's ok, but It's worth saying that these were not the most common leftist opinions, and the USSR in particular was popular on the left far longer than was prudent, from a modern perspec

I apologize, this is pedantic, but I think people often overstate the relationship between neural networks and the brain. I'm far from an expert, but saying neural networks are based on the brain is a stretch. They're inspired by

Cool. I've thought about this a lot, just because the UX of now cheap older cameras tends to be very good, for me at least, and the UX of the low end digital tends to be very eh. > $1000 bodies, it's a different story of course

The app is Facebook. A lot of shows are listed there. Obviously, the location is obscured in some way. For punk shows, it's the name of a House, to find out where that is, ask a punk. For folk, it sometimes is just a phone number liste

There are housing co-ops that are not student only, so that would be one option. I'm far from an expert on this, never lived in a co-op myself, there may income restrictions, etc. But there are people interested in co-operative/co
