I wonder, do we need a new benchmark? There's quite a bit of feedback data floating around about pelicans on bicycles already.

As a kid I remember I was lost in all that OOP, window handles and stuff, and could never do anything. Delphi was like assembling Lego. Very similar to QtCreator.

10 MB is ridiculously overbloated. 1 MB or something in that vicinity should be more like it.

Whoever was in charge of Mac OS X at that time should be promoted to the President of Operating Systems of this entire planet.

But they're happily selling drone parts to Russians dropping bombs on civilians (or "whatever").

This is naive on so many levels. Yandex is Russian government. You can't take a shit without KGB in Russia.

I think this needs to be addressed with a crowd-funded projectile. This sort of stuff must be done on a planetary-scale consensus basis only.

Not to mention scandals like this... "In 2018 she received a total of $2,458,350 in compensation from Mozilla, which represents a 400% payrise since 2008. On the same period, Firefox marketshare was down 85%. When asked about her salar

Sorry for the off-topic, but I wish our FreeBSD camp could roll back a little from this faux-corporate glass ball without soul and a font from the early 90s spaceship toy box, to Beastie and a stylish serif. What I was trying to say - I&#x2

For me the word becquerel itself requires some additional brain power points to write. Is it bequerel or becquerel? Do we capitalize it or not? Not when written, but Bq is capitalized, so it's indeed kBq. But then again, is it per seco

I don't understand this - where's Trident VGA?

It's surprising to see an OS, dominant as a sever platform, now optimizing catering to people who are unsure whether they've pressed a button on their keyboard. What's next, replacing asterisks with a progress bar?

My DigitalOcean FreeBSD droplet chugging along: 7:25AM up 1707 days, 15 hrs, 5 users, load averages: 0.30, 0.21, 0.17 Too bad they dropped support for it.

They'll just come up with round displays. Like on PDP-1.

Apple is no longer about Jobs' "simplicity as the ultimate sophistication". It feels like a bunch of kids with no proper design education competing for the security of their salaries. Apple is dead without Steve. The company

Sorry for the off-topic, but what a bliss to see Windows 2000 interface. And what an absolute abomination from hell pretty much all the modern UIs are.

Same. Still a great pleasure to see those ads from the past. Nothing compared to ads today.

Fantastic news. As ACP is no longer in development, I am starting to slowly look for a replacement, and a few things that come up in my mind: - Will it work with MaximDL to acquire images and autoguide, or will it simply not need it at all?

Was that part of some kind of cost optimization? Why would anyone design such an obscurity?

Not sure I understand you - what game, market capture? There are environments that remain more or less sane (e.g., FreeBSD, Xfce, etc) that don't play this game, if I got you right. I guess treating users so helps capture more of the m

Same as Windows 3.1, and Windows 95, up to 2000. After some point computers began to be optimized for a non-technical person and here we go... Ads, auto-updates, pop-ups, bright colors, all this fucking desktop circus.

VHS cassettes: maybe not so obsolete, after all? Also, the Return of PKZIP.

A bit sad not to find the whole collection of Larry Carlson's animations in there (only a few games.) Also, need full archive of Joe Cartoon!

It's incredible that it still lives to this day. I remember running it on Pentium-133. The gallery they have there still has showcase renders from 2000s.

Has anyone got an example how such a video looks like? Really curious. Reminds me of the Soviet Arvid card that could store 2 GB on an E-180 VHS tape. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArVid
