OK maybe I'll write something and post it somewhere (HN dislikes Medium though).

I designed and implemented the whole graphic system for the World Cup '98 (working 100h weeks for months). Billions of people have watched in real-time the result of my work and I earned absolutely nothing from it :) (there's a fu

Nope. A rough estimate of my old fart MHR is 169. 85% of which is 143. I run literally for several hours at this heart rate every week. The burning intensity you're talking about is at 100-110% of max HR.

Unsurprisingly they don't seem to sell well in French-speaking countries :D

I also notice the SGI 320, with its friggin' 3.3V PCI slots from hell :)

However nothing beats in French the Audi e-tron, literally "turd". At least in the 00s Toyota prudently renamed the MR-2 ("shit") into simply "MR" to prevent problems.

My 2013 OnePlus One still works perfectly fine (with an out-of-date LineageOS). Battery still lasts 2 full days easily.

And W and Z, and Q and A on French keyboard. WASD is totally unusable, and unfortunately quite common in web apps for instance.

That's the price of convenience. Either you have your own storage (preferably on hardware you own, such as a home NAS) or you have the convenience. You won't have both. My nextcloud server hosts my music. It doesn't host anyt

Raoul Villain was acquitted from the murder of Jean Jaurès, and there are some similar cases across history.

In modern time people use Batari BASIC which allows relatively sophisticated programming for the VCS.

Back in 2000 in my job I had a 400 Mhz G4, and a dual PIII 500Mhz server (running RedHat 5.2) to work with. Once set up to dual-boot Yellowdog Linux, the G4 literally ran circles around the dual PIII machine particularly for anything networ

Yes exactly. Jobs that are labelled "low wage" are often incredibly subtle and complex. And people doing them actually can get better at them with time, and more efficient, too. I remember the story of a lady whose job was to disp

Ah yes. I remember a long time ago I had corrected some out-of-tree Linux driver to support a newer Linux release and sent the changes to the ML, only to be chastised for not posting properly formatted patches... Mmh... OK?

Lead piping was still pretty common in the 20th century almost everywhere.

I'm fine with nationalising any industry as necessary. We should be in a war economy, a command economy (exactly like during WWII) to control pollution and climate change. The situation is actually more serious than WWII.

Mostly stop using so much plastic, probably. A lot of plastic (for instance plastic bottles) is being used under pressure from the industry. As long as Coca Cola used glass bottle, it was on them to collect, clean and reuse them. Now that t

People in these territories face a life of pain any way you look at it, frankly. IP addresses are probably pretty low among their current concerns... They're currently living in a war-torn country under Putin's iron fist. If at so

IIRC you had to recompile the Kernel and the HAL. I don't remember the details but compiling on anything but the very machine targeted wasn't practical.

NT 3.5 and 4.0 on 4 (IIRC) and 8 processors machines required to be compiled from source on the target host, the shipping kernel only supporting 2 processors and cross-compilation not being an option. Fun times :)

They were fortunate enough that cables on both sides were inverted; therefore the ailerons "merely" worked in reverse. If they had reversed the cables on one side and not the other, that would have been even tougher to sort out an

But we need a net positive. We must stop pumping CO2 in the atmosphere, and we're merely pumping it a slightly slower rate, and the quantity still goes up. The US has replaced lots of coal with gas, and that's most of the reductio

They are technologies that don't matter at all from a "Fermi paradox" perspective, though.
