So this is how the tech dark ages start. The last 40yrs are erased, and we end up back in 1979 where everyone is selling a tech stack and nothing is compatible.

Rebuilding around something which isn’t C would be a bright side.

Qualcomm buying Intel would be a top 3 worst case. Broadcom or Marvel would be the other two.

Some funny scenarios: Nvidia buys Intel, IBM buys Intel, Apple buys Intel.

I can too. I’ve seen something like that before. It was interesting, but not interesting enough for me to care about it as a feature.

Another one? Why didn’t they contribute fixes to an existing font family? 🙄

Neon looks good. The rest are awful.

Terminus is still my favorite monospaced font followed by Roboto Mono, so ignore me.

Those graphics. 🫨

Peak performance for their time.

That looks cool. The specs look good. 16GB RAM, 1TB storage. 😄

The reviewer is correct, a Snapdragon 8 gen 2 processor would have been nice.

The reviewer doesn’t mention it, so I’m going to guess it doesn’t have UEFI, ACPI, or upstream Linux support. 😔 (I want to run Fedora on this thing.)

They’re definitely something I’m looking at. 🙂

I’ve gotten to use a class 3 direct drive before, and it was nice. Ideally, a gravel e-bike is what I’d target.

I’d kind of like to get something I can use all around since I would only have one, and my area has some nice bike trails.

This reminds me, I need to work on getting a bike.

For real. You get the urge, and you gotta get some egg noddles in ya.

Seriously. A finicky system which requires constant monitoring is a bad idea. People have problems maintaining their cars.

Simple, robust, and capable of absorbing neglect is better.

Very true.

I would support reactors which aren’t designed to produce enriched uranium, don’t blowup when neglected, and don’t produce as much waste.

There has been some work on molten salt reactors recently, which look promising.

“must” is a strong word here, and the conditions which trigger “must” are amazingly narrow.

The GPL is not as fearsome as people make it out to be, and I wish it was. It’s a very capitalist license, and there are ways around its provisions.

Except Tulsa has a stop and there’s no Denver.

Makes sense.

What did Taco Bell do to catch a stray like that?

The socks he’s talking about are expensive too. Like $20 a pair.

I’m buying 6 pairs for, maybe, $20, so yeah, wool socks are a luxury item.

UCL and HCL are interesting, but YAML is more widely supported.

Hastings. Those who know, know.

Unix epoch for life! 😂
