The other side of the fence is just as bad. Look at what Redhat and Freedesktop did to Linux.

While you might have the illusion of control, the exit plan to take control is to take on tens of millions of lines of source code and manage it yourself. That is not control.

Your data is the important bit. If you keep that portable and/or recreatable then it doesn't matter what tools you use.
I think they’re trying to prevent people from developing hardware alternatives to Nintendo Switch, next logical step after stable emulators.

Which basically proves Nintendo has little to no moat apart from laws preventing their executables from being run elsewhere.

It’s funny how you say “wrong” and then fail to even contradict my claim.
And how is that relevant to the alleged complexity of building an AM radio vs an FM one? The point was that the latter is easy, not complicated. The FM transmitter is so easy to make that you can make one by accident - if there's a non-linear element in the rf part.

They do teach those in middle school before they teach trigonometry, so that is already covered.

Lots of people craft things or work with schematics in some way, not just highly educated people, to them having the basics around angles is often very useful. People like mechanics, carpenters etc, that sort of math is useful to solve so many basic everyday problems in more handy jobs.
Okay apparently my complexity theory is rusty and I’m remembering results but not remembering the reasons for those results, so sorry about that. Determining optimal path length to a certain degree is indeed in the same class as the decision problem. It’s finding that optimal path (optimization problem) that’s not NP-complete.

And publishing software that decodes encrypted Switch ROMs is protected speech and not a copyright violation. Releasing it accompanied by a statement that said something to the effect of "here's some software that decodes encrypted Switch ROMs which you can use to pirate Switch games" makes you a party to the copyright violation. Just like I'm legally allowed to provide you with a hammer, but if I accompany that with the statement "here's something you can use to murder your neighbour" all of a sudden I'm a party to a crime.
If ASCII didn't have control sequences then teletypes wouldn't have worked.

How do you make the carriage (a literal thing on a chain being driven back and forth) "return" to the start of the line without a "carriage return" code?

How would you make the paper feed go up one line without a "line feed" code?

Same for ringing the bell, tabs, backspace etc.

A "new line" on a teletype was actually two characters, a CR and a LF.

Unfortunately, using one of the other sequences (eg RS, for "Record Separator") would have saved billions of CPU cycles and misinterpreted text files dealing with the CRLF, CR, LF, LFCR sequences to mean "new line".
Depends on what kind of app you have, if it is multimedia heavy or needs a lot of native capabilities, it's better to use react-native.

Another approach is to paste it into an online HTML editor with preview. Here is one that I made:

This has the benefit that you can also edit the html afterwards.

It also has the function to render the HTML into an image (Via the "Render" button). I wonder if one could feed that image back to ChatGPT to provide visual feedback on what it coded? Maybe it would reply with "Oh, now that I see it, let's make the margins on the header a bit smaller and the background a bit more colorful" :)

It isn't a question of whether China would win, it is the certainty that Taiwan would lose. And regardless, that isn't the reason why large empires are unstable. Through history big countries tend to win but large agglomerations tend to dissolve for economic concerns. That is what happened in the largest imperial dissolutions in history (British, Mongols) which weren't because of a defeat by an external power or because they had any trouble conquering small powers. Or the most recent with things like the USSR.

Large empires tend to lose through military victories and bad economic strategy.
Except that terminals didn't exist when ASCII was created, printers existed, either with a "carriage" that carried the actual print head (like IBM Selectric typewriters, or the original ASR33 teletypes) or "chain printers" that printed an entire line at a time with a set of rods for each character position that had the entire character set on them.
There was a fractal generator back in the mid 90's where you had to
choose initial parameters, just 4 or 5 integer numbers IIRC, and from
there it created hours of ever changing "art". I can definitely relate
to the feeling of "I created that!" and some sense of investment in
the patters created by my special numbers.

Not so much a game, but I get you.

Is "AI" a curiosity machine then? Our error is to think it can do
"work".

What we're describing about games is fun, but for some kids in poor
countries "work" is now generating bizarre images to post for ad

messed-up ones they can get past the censor. Like pulling the
lever on a demonic slot machine.
One of the major things about Scala 2 vs Scala 3 is the removal of many of the type system warts, in particular the type hierarchy now forms a lattice (if I'm getting my terminology right) rather than being rather adhoc in various places.

Lots of other small annoyances like the whole tuple situation have also been fixed.

EDIT: Plus: intersection types, sane macros/inlining, etc.

Unfortunately (for me), some of our projects still have to cross-compile to 2.x, but that's irrelevant for greenfield.
I'd give it a whirl -- it's a great improvement over Scala 2.x.

Because it's Yet Another Step in the wrong direction, and will be used as justification down the line to get rid of AM/Radio/Analog Radio a bit more or entirely. Keeping it around, or in a car, may be the wrong or inefficient way of solving the problem of comms in an emergency. But it does mean that we "force" the lingering of the tech in some way, so as to not let it be dismantled in the relentless march of whatever is causing these kinds of things to disappear.

It's a quirk or random fact of history that they got put into cars but not houses, but that doesn't mean we should get rid of it. It's smart and reasoning people like you and me that look at this and think "ugh, no need to have it in a car, we can have it in a bug out bag and it'll make cars cheaper, etc". But that kind of thinking is wrong for society past a certain point.

Before we know it, we'll own nothing, we'll rely on Daddy Government for everything, and we'll be happy! Maybe they'll let us own a Digital Government-Issued Codec-Infused Satellite Radio®, so they can reach us at all times.

Somehow I had the impression that in the 1950s, the government and the press (at the government's behest) were much more secretive about how the H-bomb would work, but I found the Popular Science article surprisingly informative. We say thermonuclear weapon rather than H-bomb these days, but I didn't see anything in the article that seemed inaccurate compared to what's known publicly today.

The H-bomb design described in that article is that of the "Classical Super." It shows a fission bomb embedded in a larger mass of fusion fuel. The A-bomb is supposed to act as a spark to ignite the fusion fuel, which then burns to completion from its own fusion energy. This is the same sort of schematic explanation of H-bombs that I saw in popular science books and encyclopedias as a child in the 1980s.

The Classical Super design does not work. The Richard Rhodes book Dark Sun describes it such:

George Gamow found a way to dramatize how unpromising Teller’s Super had proven to be. John McPhee reports the story as Los Alamos physicist Theodore Taylor remembered it. "One day, at a meeting of people who were working on the problem of the fusion bomb . . . Gamow placed a ball of cotton next to a piece of wood. He soaked the cotton with lighter fuel. He struck a match and ignited the cotton. It flashed and burned, a little fireball. The flame failed completely to ignite the wood, which looked just as it had before—unscorched, unaffected. Gamow passed it around. It was petrified wood. He said, ‘That is where we are just now in the development of the hydrogen bomb.’"

The secret of a working H-bomb, not published in unclassified form until 1979 [1], is the Teller-Ulam design [2] using "radiation implosion." The atomic bomb is not placed to heat the fusion fuel but to enormously compress it. The A-bomb is kept separate from the fusion fuel but contained within a shared space. For a detailed unclassified description of how this works, see section 4.4 of the Nuclear Weapons FAQ, "Elements of Thermonuclear Weapon Design":

https://nuclearweaponarchive.org/Nwfaq/Nfaq4-4.html

But that 1950 Popular Science article was still accurate for the date, since the Teller-Ulam design wasn't conceived until 1951.

My first boss was a demon at loading the bootstrap, fingers sweeping back and forth across the panel to bring the system up every morning.

Later I got to write a boot ROM which supported 5 different drive types (4 types of floppy from 3.5" to 8" and Winchester hard drives), complete with terminal prompt, multi-unit support and interupt handler. I got it to fit into 256 words (2 256x8 PROMS) with some trickery (I still recall being out of space by one word and needing 204 for a sector read command - finally, remembering I had 102 in a register from loading the BEV vector, shifting that up one saved a load and so got it to fit).
You don't even need a vacuum to get a decent amount of xrays. Two drills going through a roll of scotch, reel to reel, will generate enough x-rays to take a rudimentary xray image of a hand.
Hello, Perceptron (2023)
Yes, they certainly have a history of that. Copyright in Japan has very little carve-out for "fair-use" equivalents, and I believe it is also a criminal offense. I'm guessing some of it comes from the attitudes there being informed by that setting, but can't explain all of it, since other Japanese companies aren't quite as notorious.
It's a work of fiction. If you were entertained, how does it matter whether it was a human or a machine who wrote it? And does the degree matter?

> Some understand why "liberty or death" is actually a reasonable way to live and die

If there is a choice, sure. If there isn't a choice, then living is also a good option. Losing liberty isn't a reason to commit suicide.

> Stop counseling despair.

What despair? Why would Taiwan have to despair? China already controls something like 10% of the human race, the 10% that has seen the biggest improvement in living standards over the last 50 years.

Signing up with that would be unpleasant. But it seems like a better option than a war with the world's greatest industrial superpower that Taiwan is quite likely to lose. We've had a bunch of countries choose war with the US and they'd almost uniformly have been better off surrendering and arguing for liberty in a diplomatic way.

Only a certain subset of people would think that universally, a coin that looks bigger would be half the value of the smaller one.

In Argentina back when coins were worth anything, from 1c to 50c they would grow in size, also would have the value in big clear numbers, and varying colors. The 1 peso coin would be a big smaller in diameter but substantially heavier and different with two colors.

Coins in the US from this “obviously the smallest one is the least valuable” mindset didn’t make sense. Also seems like no one cares about any coin but the quarter for anything other than trading them. Any coin operated machine I’ve seen takes 25c
Sure, but it's security by obscurity and relying an the receiving and sending servers to maintain that cache long enough at both ends.

The problem is that the DNS contains an MX record that says where to deliver email for a domain. So when a sending server wants to send, it looks that up. Then it looks up the received name as an A/AAAA record to find the IP address to connect to.

So we're already relying on DNS, which can be poisoned.

The "fix" for DNS poisoning is not DNS-over-TLS/HTTPS because that basic problem isn't solved.

If we secure DNS against tampering/poisoning, then the same infrastructure can deliver public keys and other information safely as well.
Yuzu and Ryujinx are the real threats to its business as a number of highly anticipated game titles have been leaked and pirated several days (if not weeks) before their releases. This is not acceptable for both the developers and legit purchasers. I actually suspect that the recent Zelda title leak (2 weeks before its release) was the main motivation of recent takedown of Ryujinx.
These days you can load up almost the entire history of gaming on a dozen different PC handhelds, choose from a thriving Android ecosystem of less-powerful but cheaper handhelds, and run emulators on iPhones and Android phones. Their walled garden is on the brink of ruin, unencumbered hardware and software have surpassed what they offer. I don't think it's existential yet but if they don't have a digital buffet ready for PC/Mac/iOS/Android then they are in real trouble IMHO.
> If they shortened them to 30 years, it would have no real effect on the software industry, though Nintendo would be pissed. I don't think Microsoft would care much about people passing around copies of MS-DOS 3.3.

Well Windows 95 is coming up soon on its 30th... (and come to think of it MS already open sourced MS-DOS "4.0" for any retro-masochists who might want it.[1])

I'm sure MS Word and Excel must have improved slightly in 30 years, but by how much? They don't seem much more responsive than they were 10 years ago, and most of the shiny new Windows/Office features seem to be things I hate like annoying autocorrect, pointless UI redesigns, new advertisements and telemetry, and worthless and intrusive AI nonsense. Maybe with some incompatible save formats and clunky "cloud" features added in for good measure.

Office's largest enhancement seems to be Office 365, which offers an inferior and sluggish imitation of the desktop apps running in a web browser. This is possibly useful for people stuck with crappy Chromebooks, ARM-based tablets/phones, or Linux.

Yes, I'm well aware it's big. I've already written some toy compositors to play around with, and have even written an embedded compositor library.

But it's worth doing here. And wlroots does so much heavy lifting that it becomes a lot more manageable. Most of the code in xfwm4 will still be window management code, as it should be.

I've worked on Xfce on and off for 20 years (mostly off, I suppose; probably a total of ~7 years in that time), so I get what these big things are like, and what maintainership means. We're also a very small team of volunteers who have other jobs and other things going on in our lives. But that's fine; Xfce does just fine with that level of work, and will continue to do just fine.

From the article, Odd Fellows are co-ed. Unitarian Universalist for more open but still religious. YMCA for more modern but slightly religious. All 3, probably a library.

> The naive idea that your views are somehow the inherently non-political

You are responding to a claim that wasn't made.
The constant-math method above doesn't require that and works on denormalized expressions, too.

That said, the trick for turning four or more argument bitwise operations into a series of vpternlogd operations has yet to be posted
I totally get why you'd want mem-to-mem instructions, it just seemed more interesting in a blitting context (and others) to have the operation not be static but rather register-based. But perhaps in practice it matters not, been a long time since I wrote blitting code.

RISC-V already has what you want in terms of R-type instructions[1], ie "dest = src1 op src2" where "op" is effectively an immediate value, but being based on a load-store architecture it's only register-to-register of course.

Though I suppose ISA-wise there's nothing in the way of making an extension that introduces "M-type instructions" which act like the R-type instructions but are mem-to-mem instead. How much that messes with everything else I have no idea.

edit: ah, forgot about you wanting it to behave like movsb. Still, something that could be handled by the extension instruction.

The C standard (see C23 5.2.1p3) requires the values of '0' through '9' to be contiguous, so it doesn't matter if you only care about round-tripping. '7' - '0' == 7 no matter the character set. Though, for round-tripping I suppose this isn't strictly necessary, but it certainly makes parsing and printing decimal notation very convenient. Notably, for both ASCII and EBCDIC 'A'..'F' and 'a'..'f' are also contiguous, so parsing and printing hexadecimal can be done much the same as decimal.
> in my experience (and that of everyone around me), USB-C is very sturdy

That might be due to Apple's build quality, but the USB-C connector has been anything but sturdy in most machines I've used. The connection becomes wobbly after just a few months of very careful usage, and tends to cut out if the cable is pulled in a certain direction. Connecting an external disk drive is a plug-and-pray situation. I've even had the connector dislodge entirely on one machine. USB-C may have given us reversibility, but USB-A had a much sturdier connection.

To say nothing of the uncertainty of which protocol is supported and which power profile will be negotiated by the combination of cable and devices. It's a UX mess.

But c'mon. On one side you're saying that open source can never be good because no one maintains the cohesiveness and attention span to do "the last 20%", but then you rail on organizations that have tried to set and maintain standards, and reduce fragmentation on the desktop?
