Was each publisher using their own connector
or was there an industry standard?

Before the JAMMA standard, it was truly chaotic. Manufacturers didn't really have their own per-manufacturer connectors; it was more like each individual game had its own custom wiring setup.

Manufacturers would sometimes release upgrade kits for specific existing machines. For example, Atari created Black Widow as an upgrade kit for existing Gravitar machines (and only Gravitar)

JAMMA wasn't a magic cure for everything. It specifies pinouts for buttons and things but there can still be e.g. video sync issues. But it was a huge step forward.

In Japanese arcades you would see a lot of these standardized cabinets. They allowed arcade operators to swap in a new JAMMA (etc) game at low cost with close to zero effort. Sega's Astro City cabinet is probably the most famous, I think.

Maybe I'm nuts because I've never found these useful. If you actually want to model a real-world scenario, you'll end with an arrow from every system to every other system to the point that it's meaningless as a visualization.
The biggest issue w/ MBTI and others like it is the desire to put you into a category as an outcome. This is really bad for reliability of the test - take it again and change just a few answers, you may be in a different category altogether! But it's often great for sparking team discussions on norms, behaviors, etc. But the sheen of science and validity can be misleading.
That mockup appears to have been created by @ch1w33th3d0g -- I haven't seen any official X version of https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1682970592159358976/phot.... So there's no point in making complaints about laziness from Musk in this case.
Remember that his daughter with Grimes is literally named "X" because he thinks the letter is cool.
Looks 5NF enough to me.

That being said, names is an awful example; if you have to assume a specific structure from someone's name you kinda already lost [1][2].

Better to just assume it's a opaque mutable unicode string and hope for the best.

I never understood this obsession with who founded what. How is founding something useful if it doesn't grow? Elon has a *demonstrated* talent for taking good ideas and making them wildly successful. Granted he seems to be off on a very weird tangent with Twitter and it will be interesting to see where it leads, but it would be dumb to just dismiss him as a childless out of control billionaire (seriously?).

There was zero way Twitter could have survived on the path it was going; if not for drastic changes he instituted - mainly in dramatically cutting costs and overhead - they would have been dead anyway. They are no longer bleeding. They have lots of debt, thus they still need to do something new to pay it off, but at least they aren't accruing more debt like they were before.

Twitter was a niche player anyway - it was disproportionately used by techies but was far from having a broad penetration so why not move in a bold, new direction? Its current model is already known to be untenable long term - even before Elon bought them.

The real issue is ads are no longer going to be enough to sustain the tech giants (ads were mostly a scam of bot farmed clicks, over promised results, etc.). I wouldn't worry about Twitter now X - it will survive, whether this crowd feels it's for them or not. What I'm really interesting in seeing is how Google, Facebook and others are going to remain relevant. In the near term I would expect layoffs to accelerate since that's the lowest hanging fruit for these companies, but at some point they are likely going to have to come up with something more substantial and of actual value.

When Musk bought Twitter, I had the notion that Musk doesn't care if twitter falls under. I completely underestimated the depth of his indifference. He's going to have twitter be his way totally, and survival won't be a consideration. Twitter stays alive? Great. It fails? Oh well.

What issue specifically are the conservatives in Israel mad about? Settlements.

It's not about high political principles or abstract questions of balance of power. It's conservatives mad that the supreme court keeps finding settlements illegal.

That's it. That's all it is. That's why they care about it now, as opposed to any other time in Israel's history. The ultra Zionists are in power and they want to cement as much Jewish settlement for as long as they can.

That's what this is. It's simple.

They are managed both ways. I think updating in BIOS is preferable to ensure no CPU parameters change while (some part) of the kernel has already initialized.

But of course BIOS updates have many downsides and often stop after a few years.
I think the author misses one of the most important points: how easy/fast is it to write a program?

Julia is dedicated to scientific computing, where it is very normal to start out with solving a simple problem to verify that your approach can work. That code is usually very bad, because all it needs to do is function. The goal of Julia is to:

- Make writing that first prototype very easy

- Use that prototype to create a fast version, without reimplementing everything

That is what rust has to be compared to. And while I absolutely do like what rust is, it is not a language that lends itself to quick prototyping. For the prototype you don't care that your program might crash with the wrong parameter or that the generated matrix is not invertible or that you access an array out of bounds or ...
By any measure rust is a complex language, which takes significant understanding to write and requires the programmer to engage with the code alot.
Yes I agree 100%. These type of demos teach me nothing and are annoying as hell.

The only button I'm looking for is the skip button. For the rare cases when the UI doesn't make sense, reading the docs or watching a demo video is far easier to follow as you can skip to the relevant part much easily.
There's a crowd who tilt the other way -- if I might possibly have hinted at the idea before you then it's borderline malpractice to not reference me. In many fields it's common to directly reference what appear to be the bigger transitive references then, even if they didn't directly influence this work in particular. I'd personally want to see a twidge more evidence before bringing out the pitchforks.
I don’t know, I don’t hate the ELF interpreter bit; I actually don’t see why we need to have an ELF parser in the kernel at all—or rather I do, but the answer is likely “setuid”, which, bleh.

The emulating static linking semantics badly bit, though, I do hate, because it just seems so unnecessary and self-inflicted. The entirety of the symbol versioning mess could be reduced to build-time symbol aliases if only we agreed to bind symbols to imported dynamic libraries at build time and not at runtime. (MacOS’s “two-level namespaces” are a hack that tries to retrofit the sane behaviour on top of that, but of course it can’t free you from the underlying mess completely.)

And if we are comparing Unix and its descendants with Windows, isn’t it the case that dynamic linking is, in fact, an afterthought? Windows has had dynamic linking since literally 1.0, because without that you simply can’t fit multiple graphical apps into memory on the kind of machine it was supposed to target. I’d say that early 16-bit Windows essentially is a fancy dynamic linker tied to an overlay manager, plus a cooperative actor/object-like thing, and only then some graphics and input routines on top of all that. At least as far as the application programmer’s mental model is concerned.

Whereas Unix got dynamic linking well into the workstation era, and I remember somebody saying it was an attempt to reduce the memory overhead of Xlib; the classic Unix answer to runtime extensibility would be to spawn a separate process.

> more intermingling of different types of property use than I'm used to seeing in the eastern US

My experience in Houston was miles of big box stores lining the service roads parallel to I-10, and miles of single-family single-use housing development communities in south Houston. Retail was quite separate from housing, miles away, and traffic could be horrible. The occasional gas station and small plaza with a nail salon and maybe a chinese restaurant was the only thing in between. I feel sorry for the friends I had who grew up there - too far away from anything to walk or bike to, playing in a drainage creek for lack of anything else nearby. Maybe older parts of the city are different?

I don't agree with the libertarians if their goal is to allow large developers to profit by building cheap neighborhoods on the outskirts of town and impose restrictions limiting what people who live there can do and build. No apartments can be built on the lot you own, no ADUs, no starter houses, no corner cafes or pubs to socialize at, no other retail areas in the community. Nothing but single family homes, and rules on what kind of lawn and bushes are allowed. Maybe this is libertarianism for large developers only?

I grew up in a rust belt city in the north east, and within a few city blocks were two streets full of retail - small supermarkets, drug stores, barbers, a bakery, dry cleaner, dentists and doctors, a library, music shop, a hardware store, pizza places, churches, bus routes to the rest of the city, etc.

The pattern I've noticed is that "they don't build them like the used to". Pre-WW2 neighborhoods were not built with the assumption that everyone had cars, so they were more dense and could support businesses within walking distance. For the past several decades single-family HOAs have become popular, where a large developer buys cheap land on the outskirts of town and sells large tracts of cookie cutter housing to the public. Zoning policies make it more difficult for anyone trying to do anything different, and difficult for anyone who is not a large developer.

I like the way Japan does zoning. They have separate industrial and commercial areas, but allow triplexes and low-impact retail everywhere in place of single family housing.
One can have whatever interpretation of the data it wants but I’d like to see the raw data they used; this is gaslighting.
I've got a Warcollapse album that actually comes with a lyrics sheet, but under the one song it just says "try to figure this one out. We can't." Which seems fitting for a song called Drunk, Collapsed, Destroyed.
Interesting! I'm both surprised and also not surprised it's modeled that way.
If you are so brilliant and terribly productive but still work in such a toxic environment for such low pay, then either you need to switch to a more reasonable employer or you are not really honest with us here.
In my experience yes - At an earlier role, all employees were subjected to a DISC assessment at hire. This was at the headquarter office of a large real estate franchise. Results were kept in your file, and were a big component during reviews.

The biggest flavor-aid drinkers at the company used their assessment results as shorthand to either justify shitty behavior: "oh, person X is a 'High-D', of course that's why they co-opted the meeting, were abrasive, made everyone else feel small and insignificant". If you did not test with a high decisiveness level, it was absolutely brought up in promotion conversations. High-D, High-S etc. all became quick qualifiers to know where someone's career was headed.

Knowing strong dominance was likely an attribute valued by the company, I took the assessment with that in mind, resulting in a high dominance level (I'm probably middle of the road). That it was so easy to game made me loose all respect in their application of these assessments.

Homo sapiens is the most arrogant little pile of carbon this side of the Tanhausser gate.

While every scientific advance has pushed us further and further away from the center of the universe, we just cant let go of our existential angst of being utterly irrelevant and keep our megalomaniac posturing totaly infatuated with our "specialness".

There is no doubt that there something extraordinary profound in the ability of our brains to create coherent representations of reality. But there is an abyss to cross before we can assert that these imperfect, evolving and malleable mental models are actually "all there is".

In fact our exciting and beneficial journey of "uncovering" the mathematical fabric of the universe may have ended already. Our mental tools (causality, initial value problems, fields etc.) are powerful but they are rather like hammers looking for nails.

We have now almost a century of stagnation around any really new mathematical concepts that would help us push further into "in your face" empirical manifestations, e.g. around complex phenomena.

There is no obligation that the Universe is made of nails.
Sure it's not worth getting really upset about (unless you were employed at Twitter, or had your work/life significantly impacted by the changes) but it's gonna be hard not to feel something about what's going on there, and to express that both here and on Twit... sorry X.

But you already had to have a null check on on the return value of search if open wasn't previously able to take null, so the behaviour of your code hasn't changed.
The argument is "only X has property Y, therefore this other thing of unknown nature with property Y must also be an X".

Well, except for the bit where X is cognitively unstable, and also for the other bit where I don't seriously believe the fact that I personally can't imagine alternatives means they don't exist.
> Take your family and run.

Pretty much my advice when some friends started to discuss having guns at home.

If I ever find myself in a situation where I need a gun (because of gang violence, robbery, etc), I'll move neighborhood->city->state->country as needed.

It's less critical (IMHO), when it comes to state surveillance (your privacy is jeopardized but your physical security may or may not be, it depends) but I'd apply the same approach.
Curious if anyone has experience with large diagrams (100K+ elements) using D2 or something similar?
Julia's explicit goal is being a "scripting language" with extremely high performance able to run the "engine" code at near native speed. You can also use it in a notebook.
I think you're missing an even greater point: if someone (perhaps, self-admittedly, not you) had been gifted the wealth elmu was, they could have turned it into more wealth the way elmu has

though, don't get down on yourself and where you started vs. where you are: the relationship obviously isn't linear: the richer you are, the easier it becomes to turn 1 dollar into 2 dollars, especially when your family is wealthy, too
> Addressing homelessness requires compassion and funds.

If you're talking about working people being priced out of homes in stupidly low-density cities (which places like Seattle and Portland are), the greater part of the solution is just building more so that supply rises to match demand.

Artificially suppressing the supply of homes via government action (restrictive zoning) then helping the people who lost homes as a result via government action (social services funded by redistributive taxation) is just so wasteful that I don't even know where to begin.

It sounds like the abrupt power cut test eventually produced a voltage spike that physically damaged components on the card.

Ever consider that your system's power or card interface design might be to blame as much as the card?

For a lot of applications, spike suppression hardware components or a simple UPS might be a more cost effective investment that could also provide other ancillary benefits.

Perhaps what we have here is some enterprising company that has incorporated a few cheap spike suppression components costing pennies each inside the card itself --- and now sells the cards as "industrial grade" for 100X as much. I would bet money that they haven't developed their own "industrial" flash memory chips.
After reading some comments here, this rebranding seems so ridiculous that looks like a joke, honestly.

There is a lot of jellybean TTL chips on these that are easy to get still. But then there are chips like Pokey's that are no longer made. You either have to salvage one from somewhere [0] or get something like an FPGA repro [1].

But that isn't your biggest problem. These are vector games, so your real problem is sourcing the no-longer made vector monitor that is scarce, finicky, and driven by voltages that could kill you. And then there is all the associated high voltage bits like the flyback transformer. The other route to go is to vector mod a plain-jane CRT by rewinding the deflection coils [2].

The only series 5000 cpu's that are still using Zen2 architecture are apparently the 5300U, 5500U and 5700U, which all use socket FP6 (mobile/embedded).

So I'm guessing it shouldn't affect any of the more recent and very popular Zen3 cpus like the 5600, 5700 etc. I personally own a 5600, which are a great bang for buck.

I wish there were IP successor which would _only_ expand address space and not redo everything network-related. Increasing size of some structs and recompiling software is easy. Re-doing entire address allocation logic, address splitting, and network administration approach is much harder, as it affects millions of customized setups.

Oh well, too late for this now. I guess this is the lesson for future network protocol designers: small, backwards-compatible changes will have much higher chances of working. And saying "you must drop old thing entirely and redo everything from scratch" means it'll take more than 30 years for your protocol to be deployed.
The tip of the Winsor & Newton fineliners are quite hard actually and work pretty well. Although the tip does wear out after repeated use (before the pen runs out of ink), so might not be the most ideal pen for the job. Also, the servo I use with the AxiDraw is the default one it comes with and doesn't apply any added pressure on the page.
Yeah... but the manufacturing processes for those chips are long, long gone. Nobody's building fabs for CPUs like the MOS 6507 which only have 3,218 transistors in total (seriously). That CPU hasn't been in production since 1992, so any replacement would be a complete redesign, or an FPGA packaged inside to simulate that part, which would no doubt cause its own griping. It would also be pointless, because emulating a 6507 cycle-accurately is pretty easy nowdays. Same goes for the other chips. If you can emulate with perfect accuracy because the tech was so primitive back then; what's the point of making what will still be a redesign?

At that point, just build a MiSTer (FPGA-based reimplementation), then get or build an arcade cabinet adapter to have your MiSTer provide the brains.

As a user I only want to know about a feature when I need it. I don't want a tour or of the blue! I want to do the thing I came here to do. It's very unlikely that your new baby feature is the thing I want to use right now.

This is why I love command palettes. It allows me to discover features by searching for them. When I've searched for it - then allow me to take the tour of where to find it faster/more conveniently and/or show me the shortcut key.
