This is true and I don’t know why it’s downvoted. IBM was notoriously obsessed with lock-in, they just bungled it with the IBM PC because they needed to move fast because they didn’t want it to slip away from them. So, they used off the she

I see the same thing in Russia. It seems like there is no such thing as a civilian target because getting your opponents citizens to uprise and while yours to support you is the key strategy now. It’s Vietnam Hearts and Minds all over again

Not if you’re in a different domain, then it cannot be claimed to confuse customers. So if it’s a network router or a woodworking router, then you’re good. I can sells of red socks, and white socks, without getting sued by Chicago or Boston

Didn’t POWER end up needing proprietary memory firmware? https://www.talospace.com/2021/09/its-not-just-omi-thats-tro... That couldn’t have helped. Otherwise I feel like RISC-V is better if you want to build somet

I worry what that says about our lives as a whole. The government will make our lives the lowest common denominator that we are willing to endure.

I hope they make a wired one. Ideally with a detachable USB-C for when the cat eventually chews on it.

If I run blame on the new file the will I see the commits made by the original writers? Will it find the same code if it was written independently? It’s not about find copies it about recording changes to a code base as an artifact and not

1) An “easy” way to implement this would be to treat the original file as the parent to both files. You can add a new command “split” if needed to mark the new file as a fork of the existing file. 2) language sensitive version control seems

What I want from a version system is to capture event in history not like changes as a files but as events that capture a process. If I split a file in two I still want to be able to see blame correctly for the author of the function, not o

I expected a Peter Molyneux game. Worth checking out if you wanted a Sims-informed RPG. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fable_(video_game_series) Apparently there is a new one still coming out: https://en.wiki

Considering all of Trump’s shenanigans it’s impressive it’s just that. With Hormuz, tariffs, and America first, this is the equivalent of a fender dent after spinning out on black ice.

During the AI layoffs they’ll be the first to go and we’ll be back to the always working bread winner dad. Not saying I like it, just saying that’s my read of the tea leaves.

I took a course in advanced logic and there is actually a really broad and diverse world of them that is fascinating. Contextual logic for one.

Considering the popularity of Factorio and Satisfactory I'd recommend RoboRally. It gets a bit silly but it's accessible. For much more depth I recommend Dominant Species by GMT.

What about if they added “wings” to trains? That could generate some lift reducing the effective weight is my shower thought. No idea how much the wings would add versus the lift help.
