It has TTL RGBI and composite NTSC outputs. The latter is actually very interesting in that it can produce 16-color images using color smearing effect on NTSC TV. Many games from the period used this to achieve more colorful graphics at the expense of dropping to 160x200 resolution. OP port of Wolf3d is also supporting this mode.

I am working on FPGA-based converter to be able to show RGBI and composite CGA on modern VGA screens.
I'm not really sure if there's an official standard. Generally, I've seen:

* Class B - Essentially built within the confines of a commercial cargo van.

* Class C - Built on a cab-over or chassis of a medium duty truck/van.

* Class A - Built on a heavy-duty bus chassis.

Here's a map of HVDC projects in Europe, some of which have been about since the 1930s [1].

Canada has several long distance HVDC lines (eg: [2] "recorded on the list of IEEE Milestones in electrical engineering") while the US to date mainly uses HVDC to interconnect existing AC grids (eg: [3]) although there are significant proposals for long distance HVDC to share renewable energy.

> The professor recommends across the board pay cuts as an alternative to layoffs.

This is the fourth bout of "layoffitis" I've lived through in the tech industry, and I think this professor is really nailing it.

> Seems like it would also increase stress and encourage top performers to seek new opportunities.

You don't have to cut pay for key performers. You can offer retention incentives to key people. You can cut bad leaders and promote people (and give them a raise). Every time I've had to preside over layoffs (three times, all working for a big corporation), I got to ID my key people and offer them raises to stay on after the layoffs. The high performers that were laid off? They weren't the people that were the right ones to get the company through the hard times and the recovery. Often they were people that were great at their core job, but did not take on anything extra - and when everyone will have to take on extra, hearing "not in my job description" is, well, a big problem for the remaining team.

> hired during the 2000 recession

Ok, I'll let you in on a secret. When you see companies do layoffs, they are cutting costs, and big salaries are easy targets for cuts. The secret is that layoffs aren't permanent headcount cuts. Almost every time, the highest cost, non-essential people are cut, and then shortly after, people are promoted and the hiring starts anew, at a lower starting wage than before (I suspect in this economy, there's enough wage pressure that this will not work). I remember when I was in my 20s and 30s hearing older employees getting laid off who had 30 years of cost-of-living raises and made 2.5x what I did for the same job lament how it was ageism. Now that I'm 50, I see this as a sad truth: if you don't make yourself worth 2.5x someone 20 years younger, you aren't going to get paid 2.5x more forever.

> I suppose this works when it works, and then fails completely when it doesn’t.

You have to have an empathetic, "yes" to the question, "will customers continue to buy from US (over the competition) during a recession." If there's no way to grow, no way to win market share, then you really do have to batten down the hatches.

> this increases the risk profile on the company

This is especially true if you have to raise money to hire during a recession.

I learned that quite early, mostly because I'm from Quebec, there's so many of our translation that get lost (I guess it's a question of rights, the translation and original content have 2 different owners). The one that made me realize that first is Pokémon, there's just no way to get the original Quebec version (and funnily enough, it's the same French translation, just with the English Pokémon names). I had to buy the original VHS to be able to get it, and still just the first season seems to have been made in VHS.

Piracy doesn't help much either as theses translations were never digital in the first place. There's many show from my youth that I can't find with Quebec translation, even some that I can't find in their original language.

If I had the cash and time it's something that I would wish to try, getting the distributions rights of a few of theses old shows. There's no way it would be that expensive (probably take quite a bit of time though) and nostalgia would works quite well I believe to attract enough viewership to support it.

Time wasted. I tried to install Windows recently on a completely wiped laptop. I couldn't do it, it failed after partitioning or copying in several different ways. I find comments online that it might be sensitive to what USB drive is used (might be?). I had a license and an image from Microsoft and one from the laptop manufacturer, both failed the same way. I've installed a bunch of Linux distros on it in the past with no problem. When reinstalling a Mac you just go into recovery and net install.

I find it bizarre that windows is as bad as it is.

"Our basic procedure is
to compile and execute a test bucket of 150 self
checking programs every night. The test run produces
code which is executed on all computers and at various
levels of optimization. [...] In addition, the PL.8 effort has lead to a
powerful compiler testing strategy. The PL.8 compiler
is written in PL.8 and compiles itself. Periodically a
"fixed point" is compiled. The current source is
completely reeompiled using a compiler whose
operation is believed to correspond to that source.
The object and listing output of this compilation is
saved and also used to build a new compiler. This
new compiler is then used to compile the same source
again. A bit for bit comparison of the object and
listing files from both compiles is then made (ignoring
dates, times, and other system noise)."

That seems like a really small test suite for a compiler. I guess it was just much smaller than today's compilers.

> Perhaps there are no “good” strategies- just those that favor employees or those that favor investors.

I don't think this is the case. Cutting costs is hard in tech companies because the biggest cost is usually people. If cuts are intelligent and needed, it's good for the remaining employees, customers and investors. If cuts are for the sake of "everyone is doing it" then, it's extra.

Hence critical theory.

That's why we don't automagically assume "that particular indoeuropean tomb is probably from a male warrior chief" nowadays, and actually do some interdisciplinary research, because we used to assume a lot in the early 20th. And sometimes the "male chief" have female bones. And the "warrior" lance point was probably the rest of a priest baton.

But most archeology we learn come from schoolbooks that are built on those old, often pretty much falsely interpretted discoveries, and pretty much all good research you have to read academia (or look at serious archeology youtube channels, some exists !)

However... there is a little known game that id Software did release that would run on an 8088. It's called Catacomb 3-D[1]. It was basically Wolfenstein with goblins and skeletons. Pretty sure that engine went on to become Wolf3d.

The best method for healing burn wounds (also cuts, abrasions, lacerations, and the like) is outlined in these slides:

https://www.emilio-moriguchi.or.jp/disease/doc/moist_eng.pdf

^ Seriously these slides are incredible, check them out! In particular slide 42 shows the result of almost an entire finger tip being regenerated near perfectly. When I first saw the slides my jaw dropped, it seems like the type of thing that only reptiles are supposed to be able to do. Note that the finger could only be regenerated because there was a tiny part of the nail bed remaining; without that the body would have lost the genetic information to reconstruct the finger tip properly.

TL;DR: Moist wound heal by coating the wound in aquaphor (or pure petroleum jelly aka vaseline, but I prefer aquaphor due to its semi occlusive nature rather than fully occlusive as well as a couple of additional anti inflammatory compounds in aquaphor like bisabolol), then cover the wound with saran wrap, or a transparent film dressing like tegaderm, or a hydrocolloid like duoderm extra thin cgf (if using hydrocolloids you can omit the aquaphor because the hydrocolloid won't stick as well and also the natural fluid secreted by the wound fulfills the same role).

The result of this healing method is fast, low-pain, low-scarring wound healing.

An important part of the approach is to never use topical antibiotics nor soap, since those damage the body's wound healing cells more than they retard the pathogens.

As for maggot therapy specifically, it works for wounds with necrotic tissue. The maggots eat the dead tissue and leave the healthy tissue completely intact. So it's not necessary for burn wounds.
> "Monetize" is a terrible word that tacitly admits that there is no such thing as an "Attention Economy." You can't use attention as a medium of exchange. You can't use it as a store of value. You can't use it as a unit of account. … You have to "monetize" it – that is, you have to exchange the [attention] for real money.

I very much appreciate this paragraph as an explanation of a certain frustration with the so-called Attention Economy. It is a grift in which the grifter convinces their victim that something the grifter has is valuable and they’re willing to provide that value to the victim for a modest fee.
This is what emerging economies do. The US did it to England. China is doing it to the US.

NAT was created for one reason only: because there weren't enough IPv4 addresses to go around.

People were protecting networks before NAT.

Hm, okay. In that case, I would say the first is a problem, and the second is also, but differently.

I think the objectionable thing about the second is that the AI knows everyone's styles, and so can use them in creating something new. Even if the AI is restricted to not be able to paint an image in a certain artist style (as the new version of stable diffusion is, for instance) and the art is unique, I think part of the problem is that the AI is still (presumably) leaning on the collective styles of everyone it has trained over.

If we can train an AI over a small dataset or maybe even a large dataset of old art, or some mix in between, and then maybe fine tune it wtih a snall sampling of modern art, then I believe it would be unobjectionable, as this is largely how humans do it.
You can justify post facto the move you made. Can you write down the logical process (probably a combination of strategy, move generation, analysis and selection) that would replicate the moves you picked from the beginning of the game? I don’t even need the brain chemistry (the implementation), but I don’t think even writing down the logic that generates those moves (in contrast with a logic to justify each move after it was generated) is something humans can do in most cases.
Nope. It means that if you are concerned about the possibility of something destroying the planet (or whatever), you actually have to look at what it is and what it can do and so forth.

A pedestrian is struck by a vehicle while crossing the road far away from a zebra crossing. Who is to blame?

There is a certain portion of people who will answer this question by saying: "Everyone but the pedestrian".

The driver of the vehicle is at fault for striking the pedestrian because he failed to react quickly enough. Or because he drove too fast.

The council is responsible for the accident as they failed to provide a designated crossing area where the pedestrian intended to cross.

The pedestrian was crossing the road to reach a coffee shop on the opposite side, thus it could be argued that the coffee shop owner's decision to open their establishment on the other side of the road, or away from a safe crossing point, may have contributed to the accident.

The education system is at fault for not providing the pedestrian with sufficient knowledge on when it is safe to cross the road, which may have led to the accident.

It could be argued that the accident is a result of societal values that prioritize vehicles over pedestrians, as it is evident in the lack of infrastructure that prioritizes the safety of those who walk.

"Everyone but the pedestrian".

I hate this kind of argumentation and this article is a great example of the kind of epistemiological overreach that social sciences are guilty of in the last years. Everything now is a hysterical overreaction. No. Layoffs don't kill people.

Compared to how I do things: You're thinking of it in too few steps.

I have always written my deployments in stages:

Stage 0: Set up accounts, API's, access (usually terraform with a little bit of seed information)

Stage 1: Create any VM's necessary (or managed services, like databases) [terraform]

Stage 2: Push any config files that might be necessary, this is provider agnostic [Ansible/Puppet/Chef/Salt]

Stage 3: Push your business application to the machines.

---

The reason I divide things up into these stages is because they operate at different cadences (you don't enabled API's or create VMs at the same speed as you develop new code) and with different specialised tooling (making ansible do what terraform does is a lesson in frustration, and vice-versa).

The benefit is: You can substitute all of Stage 0 and Stage 1 and keep Stage's 2 and 3 relatively unchanged.
