I think it came with two 3.5" disks, a bootdisk and a rootdisk, as well as two CDs. One was the actual distro, the other a sunsite mirror. At least that is what I remember and while that memory might be hazy I know exactly where my pre

While Hoka was originally a French company they have been US owned for a long time, so I think they are just not popular in Europe. The Swiss brand On on the other hand seems to be everywhere all over Europe now and I am surprised you haven

"In my entire life it felt like the Nike/Adidas duopoly was unbreakable, and then it felt suddenly that Hoka was everywhere." You mention Adidas as if they were in the same boat with Nike. While Adidas suffered from the Kan

Looks like it can even run Windows 96. Incredibly cool. I'll have to try if it runs my old Slackware kernal 1.2.13 some time. I used it with a 4MiB, 25Mhz 386 DX back in the time, so it should.

True. I would love to have lossless images (and video) out of my devices still. Not as a replacement for RAW but as a middle ground between RAW and lossy JPEG. Not for quality reasons primaily but because keeping the first stages of the pro

Electronics has this, more or less. Every device with a radio needs FCC certification, and the filings are public: internal photos (PCB shots good enough to read chip markings), external photos, test reports, manuals. Look up the FCC ID fro

For me it's more that I roll out of bed thinking how glad I am that I have Claude solve my problems and do my work, only to be pushed back into harsh reality when I sit down and try to do actual work. I'm glad to have AI, but it i

Once interviewed for an automotive embedded software position and they asked me if I was familiar with SPICE. Naturally assumed they meant the circuit simulator, answered yes and they did not dig deeper Only later in the job I realized that

Sounds interesting. Is the course material available somewhere?

My view is the complete opposite. In the 90s I thought the digital revolution and the internet will be so groundbreaking that everything connected to it will be remembered. Moreover storage seemed so cheap, why would we ever want to delete

Distillation does not reveal the weights, it produces a different network with similar behaviour. Weight space isn't even identifiable: permutation and scaling symmetries mean many weight sets give the same function. The model also lac

I had learned about Cherenkov Radiation and its characteristic blue color at university. When, a couple of years later, the university had finished building a new research reactor, they had an open house day with guided tours. Of course I’d

There used to be a time when not only the OS required using partitions for optimum performace (swapfiles) but also applications. In the late 90s databases were regularly set up in a way to store their data on raw partitions. There were othe

Who owns how much of the enterprise says little about who contributes to and owns control and know-how of the project. This is even more true for a political project like the Ariane. Not to diminish France's contribution but without Ge

The work and know-how is mainly spread between Germany, France and Italy. The mechanism that ensures it is called "national return". The order volume per country has to correspond to the countries respective monetary contribution.

The Ariane is as much German as it is French. It is considerably Italian too.

In addition to that, even unsafe Rust is not like C. It disables a limited set of checks, but Rust's type system, ownership model and bounds checks remain in force. Not to mention the availability of advanced tooling like MIRI.

Find me one case of gun vs knife that did not go to court. You will find plenty that did exactly for the reasons I mentioned.

Doesn't change what I'm saying. When you use a gun against an attacker with a knife expect to end up before a judge as the defendant and not as the victim. The court will decide if using the gun in this specific case was necessary
