There was at least one popular home computer which was never just text mode but booted in permanent bitmapped graphic mode, directly in BASIC line editor. Entering a command would execute immediately, entering it with the line number in front would add that line to the program.

So right after boot a single command could draw a line or a circle. One was not supposed to even type the letters for any command, but had to enter it like on the pocket calculators: the commands were written on the keyboard, in more colors, so just looking at the keyboard one directly saw all the available commands.

The barrier there was learning to enter the needed mode to reach the appropriate color and learning the syntax and the meaning of the commands.

Every user learned to enter at least one command and its syntax: the one which allowed loading any program from the tape. It was a full command with the empty string parameter meaning "match any name": LOAD ""

They fired the glaze powder onto the sample tiles, as one would do with one’s ceramic vessels - then pulverized the resulting glazed tile back into a colored powder before mixing it with the tea, to improve its reactivity?

I appreciate that the point of this work must be to identify which degradation products to be on the look out for in the first place, not to suggest the rate at which they might form under actual use. Still, in the real-life applications the authors are worried about, surely the fused glaze is doing some degree of work to physically bind its constituents in place.

IME quite a few of those auto-generated docs (mostly the examples) have slight incorrectness, where the code snippet is a mangled mix of Python and TS.

Also, the tooling you need to drive CDK is all TS-based, which means I now need to think about NPM and Node versions occasionally, which are not relevant in any other part of my workflow.

Admittedly as someone in scientific computing I am unusually far from the JS/TS ecosystem - but all I can tell you is that it feels second tier as a user.
One of the things that just occurred to me is that Epic could be offering some sort of "move over" deal - like give a reasonable discount for the first year or two for any company that ports their game from Unity to Unreal.

Yes. The expensive stuff will have to have a swarm of drones to protect it from drones if they remain relevant at all.

I've also been in industry for ~17 years and coding for a decade or so before that, but I'd seriously sit down and watch an hour long video of someone just using AI to work on a large existing system. Virtually all the AI coding content out there is about building something new from scratch.

Could elaborate more on your workflow? Do you use Copilot, or just GPT4? Are you copying and pasting large blocks of existing code to hint at how things should fit together, or do you describe how the existing code is structured in English? Do you find yourself decomposing your work differently so as to fit your new AI workflow?

A smart contract is a well-defined series of rules, that anyone can choose to interact with and have certain well-specified guarentees of the outcome -- in that sense I think there are quite a few similarities, the main differences being that a smart contract deals with a way narrower set of concepts and is immutable.

This has been my experience. I finally upgraded my Garmin Fenix 3 watch to a 7 (titanium). The 3 weighted 82g while the 7 is 73g. You would think the difference is negligible.

You would be wrong. It changes everything. I used to be extremely conscious of the presence of the 3 on my wrist. With the 7 I forget it, I don't even feel it anymore.

I don't know if there is a taste difference that's meaningful, but the consistency is probably the real difference between grinders.

With a spice mill, it's a total crap shoot if a grind will pull properly, blast through or block up completely. It is a challenge to always get a good grind.

A burr grinder? If it's the same beans, it is set and forget. Always the same grind, same pull, easy.

If there is any taste difference, I suspect it is down to consistency of the grind and not much else.
Your graph shows a fluctuation between about 180 and 280 for the last 800,000 years. It’s currently at 421 and it’s going up 2 points a year. The change of 140 since 1950 is more than all of the variation over the prior 800,000 years.

As for the solution to the problem, that is another topic, but you have to get the basic facts of the matter straight before you can have a valid opinion.

I'm struggling to believe this can be done by taste; I could understand it if you went milk+teabag, then added water, but this seems like brewed tea in a pot added to milk in cup v.s. milk added to brewed tea in a cup, which will get totally mixed either way...?

The only difference I can think of in these situations is the temperature of the bottom of the cup. Can this really detectably affect the taste? Maybe she was subconsciously feeling this?
Lost 200 but launched 345, almost all of which are the latest upgraded version. The satellites are designed to last 5 years (the lifetime is limited by propellant because of atmospheric drag at their low altitude) and the first batches were launched 4 years ago now. As the constellation matures they will be de-orbiting satellites about as fast as they launch them.

Seems to me like the long term viability of Starlink (if it's not already profitable) will be assured if Starship meets its goals. They'll be able to launch way more satellites at once, for less per launch, and with faster turnaround.
No, that's not correct. The GDPR is a surprisingly sensible set of rules, e.g. it allows collection and storage of data under certain circumstances. The salient point here is probably that it is allowed to collect and store all data required to fullfil a contractual obligation, e.g your home address, or if you are shopping at a pharmacy your prescriptions. The important part is not what type of data* is collected, but that the collector is restricted to use that is required to fullfil the obligations. If you want to use it for something different (say direct marketing) you have to ask for permission.

This extends to many areas, including e-mail, if they are required to deliver your services you may just save them. However, you may not use the e-mail to send newsletters. Of course, you want to double opt-in e-mails in any case unless you don't mind false or malicious entries and being labeled as a spammer. But that has nothing to do with the GDPR.

* the type of data is of importance when we are talking about data breaches and fines. Losing e-mail addresses is bad, losing prescriptions is much worse.

> Overall we are now much further into the IPv6 migration than djb ever envisioned.

That post was written 20 years ago. I would hope that the migration would be more than "much further along", I'd have hoped it had been completed, like a decade ago.

> is based on the same fundamental misunderstanding that one somehow can extend IPv4 in a way somehow, but remain compatible with IPv4-only clients

I'm not a network engineer, but I've seen loads of commentary from knowledgeable sources that it would have been quite possible to have extended the ipv4 address space without requiring 2 completely separate network stacks.

I think the simple fact that ipv6 includes so many other parts beyond just extending the address space shows what a foolish endeavor it was in the first place. I'm not saying the other bits aren't good ideas, but the only immovable factor that has people wringing their hands about ipv4 is the address limitation. If they had just focused on that, we probably wouldn't be in a situation where we're still running 2 network stacks virtually everywhere, and will be for the foreseeable future. The famous XKCD "Standards" meme says it best: https://xkcd.com/927/
While I am glad Silverblue is on this list, not having Fedora CoreOS on it too is a shame. FCOS is an amazing OS to run in production and it has come a very long way since the CoreOS acquisition. I find that FCOS is a good middle ground of being usable and easy to learn while still being immutable compared to Nix.

The FCOS devs introduced a new feature called CoreOS Layering which lets you define your system in a Dockerfile and FCOS will rebase to that state and all you have to do is reboot to configure your server. It is super powerful.

Anyways, your next project needs a VM, give it a shot. I made a Python based CLI tool to help you develop locally on a Linux workstation to create a Butane file to fit your needs. Below is the GitHub for Bupy and a good example of running an app (Paperless NGX) on FCOS with the CoreOS Layering features.

I'm sorry, this is once again a very one sided portrayal of this case. Qualcomm is utterly reliant on Arm's technology and if - as you admit is a possibility - Qualcomm has materially breached its licenses in a way that is detrimental to Arm's interests, Arm is supposed to say 'fine, please go ahead'?

I never tried with Godot specifically, but i (and fellow varied developers) did it a lot in Unity and "it worked". The main points were :

- Relative ease of use for us (especially when working with juniors/intern who often only studied game engine and don't have framework experience)

- Performances ok/good (seriously it may depend the platform but a native game engine often have far better performance than a browser on input latency/rendering, wich is logical, it's the point AND they do a lot less than browser on other features)

- You can go really wild on design/feedback with low effort, especially if you have a mobile game ui on yours work folders

The pain points (some may be alleviated with dedicated libraries, I used none) were :

- On complex UI (multi tabbing/multiple modal screen ) the lack of native support you have in dedicated web framework was a pain

- You have to add yourself complex features natively offered on forms. Especially history, complex filtering.

- On complex I/O (network/files manipulation) the engine was (naturally) lacking.

- Unity and probably Godot assume by default they are the main windows on screen, you can encounter problems about that if you use it as a 320x200 windows between 4 other windows.(that said if you considered electron you won't be in unknown territory ^^)

There is no way that Zheng He's ships were anywhere near that size. The largest practical ocean-going wooden ship was "Great Republic" at 102 meters (330 ft). It had steel keel reinforcement.

The largest ever "wooden" ocean-going ship was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wyoming_(schooner) at 450ft, and it had to have steam pumps constantly working just to keep it afloat.
