instead, sub 12cm disc shaped ones are rather well understood and perform well. They suck opening doors though - but the 40cm one would have a similar issue. Besides that: I, personally, am totally fine with the current state of the technol

Possibly, but even mother boards supporting 32MB would be rare. Perhaps on "DX3"? As for a new computer and price - it was like $1000 to get AMD 486DX2-80 with 4MB RAM in '95...

22 years back is still this century, nothing weird about. As for remembering stuff 6502/48KB RAM (along with call -151) seems boring, I guess.

That's ok - 6cm blades are allowed. You can also carry it in a cabin luggage anyways. realistically any broken glass bottle can be used as a blade.

On max compression "--ultra -22", zstd is likely to be 2-4% less dense (larger) on text alike input. While taking over 2x times times to compress. Decompression is also much faster, usually over 2x. I have not tried using a dictio

on max compression (11 vs zstd's 22) of text brotli will be around 3-4% denser... and a lot slower. Decompression wise zstd is over 2x faster. The pdfs you have are already compressed with deflate (zip).

by xxs 9mo ago
yup, zstd is better. Overall use zstd for pretty much anything that can benefit from a general purpose compression. It's a beyond excellent library, tool, and an algorithm (set of). Brotli w/o a custom dictionary is a weird choice

PSA - if you delete your cookies, HN gets it easier. Or just test it in a private window. It did work without being logged on. The auth service appeared to be down as the log in attempt (just showing the page) failed.

funny indeed, as the add-on card (esp8266) is a lot more powerful than an Arduino.

esp32 with 'free' (built-in) wifi/bluetooth is just so much easier to work with. That was my experience a few years back.

Java is easy - named after the coffee beans of the coffee they used to drink... CVS (noticed already mentioned by a sibling comment) is just an abbreviation. Python - well Monty Python
