I'll never accept a 24 hour dial that puts midnight at the top and noon at the bottom.
I think the day needs time units which are factors of 10x or 1000x to match SI prefixes. I give translations assuming current solar day length and current normal units: - deciday (2.4 hrs) - centiday (~0.24 hrs, ~14.4…
Ideally the single-use slop should just go straight into the self-satisfied user's system and never appear in the public "release" arena. But we have to suffer through this awkward phase where people want to have it…
They should have started adopting olive size factors. After Ultra High, we could have had Jumbo, Colossal, Super Colossal. and Mammoth frequency ranges. Not to be confused with Colossal wavelengths, which is what we…
RAM is more like agricultural products (with short shelf-life) than commodities like fossil fuels, mineral ores, etc. You can manage an inventory or speculate on production, but you cannot really hold a "portfolio" of…
It could make sense along an electrified rail line, if the power lines used to supply the trains can be leveraged for distribution? But, putting panels between the rails seems foolhardy to me too.
Yeah, I can only imagine the stability when breezy weather hits that big sail
But does it have FX!32 working to run important x86 software in there?
Back in the 90s when I was in university, SQL (and databases in general) sounded like a boring topic that appealed to people who wanted to go into accounting/finance or some consultancy. I didn't study CS to learn to…
Yeah I'm just lazy about dealing with the room. If I find the motivation, I'll pull the original equipment back out of storage.
Yes, perhaps the amplitude was subtly different. This was supposed to be running the DACs to match the source configuration, not resampling into some common format. I think that is an unavoidable part of the whole…
> As referenced in the article, a common explanation for those audible differences is that the high-resolution version of the album is sourced from a different master. In this case, it was my brother's own 24/192…
Decades ago, I was treated to an ABX test in my brother's recording studio. I easily recognized and preferred a 24/192 master he played versus the 16/44.1 down-mix. I honestly don't know whether there was something…
USENET with a threaded newsreader like "trn" provided the optimal experience here. You saw things in their threaded context, but it remembered what you've read and there is a direct action to "go to next unread" that…
You make it sound like there are no ideas until words arrive? For me, my normal ground state is full of thinking that is not linguistic. My mode switch is more like having to turn on the whole language subsystem and pay…
My first Linux PC was a 386DX-40 with 20 MB RAM and about 80 MB of HDD space. I was able to run X Windows, Emacs, and gcc for university CS work. I had to use 8 bit psuedocolor graphics to have a decent sized desktop…
Yeah, I used WordStar on CP/M for my school homework in the early-mid 80s. (As soon as we had our first "typing allowed" or "typing required" kinds of assignments.) My dad brought home a circus of different PCs in those…
It would be interesting if there was a DNS record of some kind to announce a PKI registry for a particular domain's email addresses. This would allow for some kind of decentralized discovery of suitable public keys for…
No, CUDOS is using CUDA as your OS. What that has to do with this article about a new device driver for the EMACS OS, I don't quite know...
Well, getting laid off during the bankruptcy spiral is a form of firing. But that is months away, so not my problem?
Oh, I think I misunderstood your description. I just jumped to the conclusion of a bastion host being used via the old proxy command method (what we did before the "jump" feature got added). But, you're saying all these…
Maybe, but what I want is just a toggle or something in the very basic manual proxy config to invert the current configuration model. Here's my ad-hoc proxy. Use it for only these domains (while everything else goes…
Well, the business plan came out of this mysterious box, after we fed in the payroll reduction requirement...
It's mechanical turks all the way down?
Not sure I buy this. In my mind, dissolving this state relationship would be renouncing your citizenship as an individual. Then, it seems naive and problematic to think you can take a personal chunk of territory with…
