I spent a fair bit of time with a Z-100. It was indeed pretty great; MS-DOS ("Z-DOS") was a big improvement over HDOS, but the graphics were the biggest draw for me, being roughly EGA-class. It lacked speed and compatibility, though, and IIRC sound. Also, my dad's monitor was monochrome, so it lacked color, too. I hated that green.

I would say "none of the No Code platforms I've seen are fine", because all the ones I'm familiar with have either inadequate testing or no testing at all. The problem is that apps built without testing don't scale past a certain level of complexity — and so complex projects built with No Code tend to fall apart as they become successful.

It's not that it can't be done, but that there's probably very little demand for it. By and large the target market for No Code doesn't value testing.

If you know of a No Code platform with good testing support, I'd love to hear about it...
There seems to be some kind of a negative space exponential law. Margins and paddings increase with every release because designers can’t resist minimalism over density and usefulness.

I was curious about this. I knew that logged data has to be turned over if there is a warrant. I wasn't sure if logging was mandated.

I found this article [0] describing the situation in various countries, with the following info for the United States:

> Data Retention Period = 1 Year for Internet metadata, email, phone records

> Authorization required to access the data = Various United States agencies leverage the (voluntary) data retention practiced by many U.S. commercial organizations like Amazon through programs such as Prism and Muscular.

> Status Of Data Retention Regime = No mandatory data retention regime

I'm guessing the above means that metdata (user ip and also user web and email destinations) are held for a year, but retaining actual user data (email contents, etc) is not mandated.

I don't think it's a fair assessment of the machine capabilities. Also, games WILL be ported to the platform AND if you really need your games running at full speed, you can keep the current computer and postpone the purchase of your Mac until the games you need are available.
One of the reasons is that the computer in question has a problem where suddenly everything completely freezes, and I have to forcibly reboot the computer with the hardware reset button. And sometimes after rebooting I find that files on the file system have become corrupted.

Sometimes the machine will run for days without freezing up. Sometimes it can freeze up after just a couple of hours.

Sometimes I am browsing the web when it happens. Sometimes I am writing code and compiling stuff when it happens.

I think the longest uptime I have had on it after the problem started without it freezing has been maybe 8 days. It’s been like this for a long while. A couple of years at least.

And when it freezes it’s not just the UI. It even stops responding to ping.

A few months back someone suggested that it may be due to a faulty PSU. But even after changing the PSU to a new one, it still happens.

And it’s been happening both with different Linux distros and with FreeBSD.

My hardware is:

- MSI B350 Tomahawk motherboard

- AMD Ryzen 7 1700 CPU

- MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6GB graphics card

- Crucial DDR4 2133Mhz 32GB ECC (2x16GB) CT2K16G4WFD8213 RAM

I bought those components in March of 2018, according to the order history in my account on the store where I bought it.

I don’t remember if I ever did run a memory test, but I will do so again anyways soon because I am suspecting that faulty RAM may be the reason. It just takes a long time to run a memory test on 32 GB of RAM and so whenever I think about needing to run it I don’t have time to do so at that moment. But as I am typing this I realize that I’ve got to go ahead and actually find time for running it soon.

Another couple of ideas I’ve had is that maybe the graphics card or the nvidia drivers are to blame. Or that I may have damaged some component with static electricity at some point. Or maybe it’s a thermal issue.

I most recently did a fresh install earlier today, and at the same time I switched out the SSD that was in it for another one. As far as I can remember though, I think I was having this kind of problem even before I was using the SSD that I switched out today. But I am not sure about that. So it could be that the SSD was the problem. But it may be a few days until it freezes again if it’s not the reason. Or it could happen in some hours.

I’ve also tried to look for clues in /var/log/syslog but haven’t really known what to look for specifically. And since even pinging the machine stops working when it freezes I am not sure the system would even be able to write to any logs at the moment that it freezes, since it seems that at that point pretty much everything has stopped working.

Currently I am running tail -F /var/log/syslog in a terminal in the hopes of either seeing something relevant frozen on screen, or in the surrounding output when I reboot the machine since I will then know which line of output I should begin looking in the vicinity of.

But yeah, a memory test is the next thing I plan to do after that.

I've been using the Raspberry Pi3/4 for:

1. Pihole + p1 power meter
2. Internet quality monitoring
3. Grafana + Graphite for my home computers
4. Always on Ubuntu Repository Mirror with external 8TB drive
5. A 3b hosting my website powered by solar

I should add 'router' but my internet is faster than my Pi4 can handle. Maybe the compute module or pi400 can handle gigabit internet.

However, almost everything I listed here could be hosted on a single low-power x86 box and that would even be more power-efficient too.
Exactly humanity is on Facebook and there are different subsets of humanity who think differently (it would be a lame world if we all thought like each other .. who'd we argue and debate with and more). Facebook needs to and always remain a neutral party where there isnt physical danger occurring or happening.

I/O / off-chip SERDES doesn't scale very easily.

If you need more pins, you need to go to advanced packaging like HBM or whatnot. 512-bit means 512-pins on the CPU, that's a lot of pins. Doubling to 16-channel (1024-bit bus) means more pins.

You'll run out of pins on your chip, not without micro-bumps that are on HBM. That's why HBM can be 1024-bit or 4096-bit, because it uses advanced packaging / microbumps to communicate across a substrate.

Like you, I've never liked it. TeX has always struck me as more focused on the needs of a narrow set of TeX users, not the readers. And Bob Cringely tells a story about Knuth and the invention of TeX:

"""

It was a major advance, and in the introduction he proudly claimed that the printing once again looked just as good as the hot type of volume 1.

Except it didn’t.

Reading his introduction to volume 3,1 had the feeling that Knuth was wearing the emperor’s new clothes. Squinting closely at the type in volume 3, I saw the letters had that telltale look of a low-resolution laser printer—not the beautiful, smooth curves of real type or even of a photo typesetter. There were “jaggies”— little bumps that make all the difference between good type and bad. Yet here was Knuth, writing the same letters that I was reading, and claiming that they were beautiful.

“Donnie,” I wanted to say. “What are you talking about? Can’t you see the jaggies?”

But he couldn’t. Donald Knuth’s gray matter, far more powerful than mine, was making him look beyond the actual letters and words to the mathematical concepts that underlay them. Had a good enough laser printer been available, the printing would have been beautiful, so that’s what Knuth saw and I didn’t. This effect of mind over what matters is both a strength and a weakness for those, like Knuth, who would break radical new ground with computers.

Unfortunately for printers, most of the rest of the world sees like me. The tyranny of the normal distribution is that we run the world as though it was populated entirely by Bob Cringelys, completely ignoring the Don Knuths among us.

Well... chiropractors are fairly scientific when it comes to straightening out your spine. They have a lot of science (anatomy) and training, and at least the ones I've tried have done it pretty well.

Curing, say, asthma? Yeah, maybe not so much.
Is it so hard to accept that "momentarily" refers to the period of time before arriving, rather than after arriving?

Time is a subject that is hard to avoid using idioms to convey, like when people ask "What time is it?" without specifying what "it" refers to.
How many square meters will that facility be, and what is the cost to construct? At $100M I don’t see how it would be financially viable.

50k kg a day is approximately 600 acres of tomatoes with our yields. That much land in CA might sell for $6-30M depending on water rights and latitude.

This seems really cool. Its aim should not be to usurp Spotify (will never happen since major record labels are entrenched in Spotify now). Rather, I could see this as an alternative to Bandcamp or other similar indie music sites.

I actually like the pay-per-play model personally even though that might irk some people. I'm interested to see how the pricing shakes out for an audiophile type who consumes lots of music.
Oh yes, I've forgotten things and looked at my phone and gone "I know it's on here, which app was it?" Make all the messages texts searchable

My point was that there are plenty of examples of systems/requirements where the dimensions of a problem are just comically out of proportion for that question- where you can't just fit this in memory, you can fit it in memory on a commodore 64, and that whether something fits in memory is not how you should thinking about the problem.
I loathe Fb as much as anyone, but if you're just looking to make money their stock is the biggest 'buy' on Earth. Their numbers only get better in the face of bad news, they've barely started tapping the potential revenue from Ig, and they haven't even begun to monetize Whatsapp.
Small caps are actually a solution to the problem of otherwise uneven proportions created by capital letters only occupying the upper half of the letters body and a good way of creating a "boxy" layout with text.

I don't want an OS that "doesn't make me pick between iCloud or ~/Documents". That just means turning macOS into ChromeOS. An OS with just a search bar would break a ridiculous amount of uses, from shared computers or cloud drives where everyone knows to put the files in the right folder, but your colleagues have weird naming conventions, so you can't search by name, but if the files were side-by-side it would be common sense which one you want; to the dangers of ambiguity between cloud and local storage; to the reality that many use personal computers for work and would get fired if certain personal files/media showed up in a File Search for work documents. You imply that iOS-style file management is easier for average users, but at a previous workplace, there was a central Mac that had important text files with .odt extensions, all organised on the desktop, that opened in TextEdit since LibreOffice/OpenOffice was for some reason never installed. How would TextEdit show those files if all you had was the Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion-esque TextEdit iCloud open box? The documents wouldn't show up, since it would only show TextEdit documents, i.e. rich text files (.rtd). If it makes sense to keep multiple types of files together, like text files and spreadsheets, you'd have to put them in a folder, not app-specific storage. But that sounds identical to what we have now. How would I open any random local text file in Google Docs? Wouldn't that be a huge privacy flaw, that Apple would never build into Safari anyway? You'd just end up with silos within each app, with no idea how to move things around, since I think the iOS metaphor is actually less intuitive than putting folders on your desktop with things inside them.

Everyone likes imagining better ways to manage files, but no one has been able to come up with one that's intuitive, not even Apple with iOS. The only reason they get away with it, is very few people actually ever interact with files on iOS. Instagram, Snapchat, Reminders, Clock, Safari don't involve documents, and for many people, that's what they use their phone for, period. Google Docs are in the app; how would they open in any other app anyway? As for iPad users, people might create something in ProCreate, and then export it. I don't think iPads are used as file storage devices, just as inputs to bring somewhere else.
This reminds me of a conversation I heard once in London.

I was in a line for some food at a Puppet (the config management tool) conference and two guys in front of me were chatting about their Puppet runs.

One turned to the other and said, "My Puppet runs are really slow. It takes 10-15 minutes for it to run and apply state to all 15,000 servers."

I couldn't believe it. The guy was complaining about having to wait 15 minutes to apply state to 15,000 operating systems.

What is wrong with people? You haven't got to go back far to take all of this innovation away and still people aren't pleased.
I don't disagree with this, but there's a threshold in which the misinformation becomes the prevailing "truth" for a portion of the population, and is no longer able to self-correct.

If there is a force actively working towards this as a goal, do you not think that force should be actively opposed?

Tesla is (was before the run-up) only one third of my portfolio and I was told repeatedly that I would lose all my money. The people telling this had made good money on the stock market before and now thought they knew it all.

Not only were they wrong, but I also have already sold enough of my Tesla stock to get back all the money I invested.

Yet, on the other side others shows up and says I should never have sold any stock, just it ride. Of-course those same people will quickly vanish if I followed their advice and the stock crashed.

The one thing I learnt, do not 100% trust so-called experts and do your own research.

Supposedly because they contain glycoalkaloids. I'm not sure who invented the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP), but it seems to have the same scientifically questionable origins as Leaky Gut Syndrome. I have yet to see any scientific evidence supporting AIP.

There's one study hypothesizing that glycoalkaloids can increase/aggravate intestinal permeability (which is a real thing), but this study only looked at mice [1]. The hypothesis has not been rigorously tested in any serious clinical study on humans.
