What's the opinion here on decimal floating point (_Decimal32/64/128)? I'm guessing there's a significant amount of business software using double for monetary amounts out there that could benefit this being…
Incidentally Vonnegut shares his birthday with Dostoevsky who was born 201 years ago.
I used info in this article when I made this VSCode-theme a couple of years ago: https://vscodethemes.com/e/krueger71.crt-themes/crt-amber?la... I tried to coax all elements in VSCode to use only two colors (background…
Back in the day I thought Netbeans rocked! Instead of the Lego-like assembly of plugins in Eclipse you got something that worked right out of the box (we're talking a 10-15 years ago and focused on Java/JEE/JSF).

I had an Onkyo 5.1 system in service from 2002 - 2018. Great stuff! First movie I watched on the system with a 28" CRT TV was "Driven" on DVD. Going from TV-speakers to a full set of speakers including subwoofer was…
I use a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W as a cupsd print server. It is powered by usb from the Wi-Fi router and connected directly to an old USB laser printer nearby. Works great to print wirelessly. I also have a Raspberry Pi 4…
Is this the first, second, third or 47th time they've said this?
Shortage of Raspberry Pi in Sweden too it seems
Of the Tolkien books I've read, the LOTR-trilogy is a classic page turner. Once you get past Bilbo's birthday you can't really put the books down. The Hobbit has more of a children's tale-vibe, but still worth the read.…

Sad to hear this. I got a ZX in the mid-eighties. It was the 16k-model but my father upgraded it to 48k, I think it even involved some soldering. One of my best friends also had one and we tinkered a lot, all by…
Did something similar on my Mac. Dongle for Thunderbolt 2 to Firewire and then got the raw .mov files via iMovie. De-interlacing and encoding with ffmpeg. For a raw file with a size of say 600 MB you can get down to…
I'm guessing a Hi-Z input before this contraption could improve the tone and do the pickups of the guitar or bass justice. A dedicated buffer pedal or just a pedal with buffer bypass perhaps?
In the Zen-tradition it's almost expected at some point during meditation to have hallucinations (sometimes severe) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maky%C5%8D
The first variant of Zen-meditation is often to count your breathing from 1 to 10 repeatedly. Sounds easy enough, but the mind starts to wander pretty quickly. If you get lost in your counting you just start over on 1…

I remember back in the late 90's when I was studying Computer Science at Lund University, Sweden. They had a research focus in compilers and had their own Simula-compiler if I remember correctly. When they taught…
