There was, in french, "La Bible du PC". It was full of very technical information, over a thousand pages or so... But Ralf's one, sure, it was so useful when Internet didn't exist for us !

You obviously didn't read the Apple 2 Reference Manual and neither Jim Sather's book. The Apple 2 is much simpler, sure, but these documents were really professional and comprehensive.

Don't be sad, your code is pretty helpful! I use it with great success in my AccuraApple emulator :-) Thanks for giving it away, it helped me to boostrap my project much easier !

Yep, I always have wondered why AppleSauce did it the way it did. but TBH I didn't read all of their quite comprehensive documentation...

I'm simulating an audio speaker in real time. So I do the data crunching, model fitting, etc. in python and this gives me a godd theoretical model of the speaker. But to be able to make a simulation in realtime, I need lots of speed so

If A has hard time supporting/coping with B's anxiety, the it means that A has already too much anxiety. If I go in a company and others are receptive to my anxiety, then it means anxiety is rampant in that company. In my country

RMS (software as a political statement), Jay Sussman (why computer sciences), James Hansen (climate politics), Riccardo Petrella (water cannot be made proprietary) These ideas, expressed by these people, have accompanied me for years.

I use the same combo: lots of Python to analyse problems, test algos, process data, etc. Then, once I settle on a solution but still need more performance (outside GPU's), I go to rust.

I click on the link and then : "pijul v1.0.0-beta.4 appears to have no README.md file" not very engaging :-/ (I don't know what pijul is an dthe title is not exactly a detailed introduction to it)

FTC's language may be a bit rough on the edges, but marketeers' language is quite often deceptive (like when one says: "probably the best in the world": factually correct but very misleading).

Funny: I have one prototype of it in my office at my university (but the sand has been removed) :-) Its code is from someone else I think... Ah, but mine does an hydrological simulation on top of it (water flows in valleys). Besides that, t

Considering what ChatGPT does with internet knowledge, I'm scared to have it trained on my internet history of clicks... It will be massively dangerous and totally centralized in so few hands...

Attribution is half of the problem. I'm not happy at all with people putting my code behind the closed wall of AI to regurgitate some other code inspired from it... I say : my code as in "the text of my program", not "th

I don't want worse services. I want services that don't break the environment. I want services that respect a proper balance. If it means that it's a bit worse to my "customer experience", then so be it.

Why not simply put a lot more stuff on trains and accept that it takes a little more time to Amazon to deliver your new gadget? I'm always baffled by the lack of analysis of a "let's just slow down" scenario.

That's weird: in Denmark, I guess temperature would go above 19 degrees about 6 months a year. That means that buildings are built with the expectation of being warmed...
