Is there a way to download it? It would be nice to decide to play even while offline.

I'd say those drivers and libraries are the backbone of an OS. Everything else is on top of them.

I'm not sure I'd call anything using libhybris "Linux-based". Their low-level elements come from Android with all the problems that implies, including Android being Linux only in the most irrelevant technical sense.

The typical 4-function calculator doesn't even allow multiple subtrees of computation, so I think it works out to having something like 2 entries on the stack.

There were calculators in the '90s where the display would go faint when you covered the tiny solar panel. Perhaps the battery was already drained. Quite common I would say.

RPN is definitely easier to implement. I helped someone do that as a student project and while it was minimally complex, there were no edge cases with the operators. You pay for that by having a stack rather than a small fixed number of var

What's with the advice about interrupts and undebounced signals? What does it mean that a flip-flop gets confused? What kind of undesired operation could that cause? Because, quite honestly, if connecting directly means occasional tran

The environmental impact grows a lot more with the number of sold product than the maintenance burden. For a business that sold a thousand units with a handful remaining, the calculation is going to be a lot less dominated by impact than fo

Who do you think spam classification false positives are going to be pubishing if not real users? At least with a captcha, you have some idea that you were rejected before you put in the effort to write your comment.

That's an uncharitable read. Connections can be made, not only received. Networking is different kind of work than sitting at a desk, but it's still work. The benefits of that work are seen next time you want a job. Every freelanc

Can it even be blocked completely? Every layer of material geometrically reduces the proportion of rays going through. Or am I wrong about that?

And yet, there is something, therefore the odds cannot be zero, revealing a flaw in this line of reasoning.

Assuming that the amount of value you create corresponds to the amount of money you are rewarded with - within the same market, then it's just about revenue. In your examples, you open up new markets, and doing that changes the other s

Admittedly, the paragraph is not very upfront about it, but to me: > My pulling back started in ~2023 this sounds like significantly reducing the amount of work. Okay, this could also be read as a complaint that the revenue is not enough

by persnickety 2y ago
Does inertia matter? Or is it just another way of saying that the revenue is low? I'd rather have X in my pocket instantly after creating the value rather than have half instantly and get the rest as an inertial trickle over the next y

I'd have kept my keyboard shut if the implication presented was "work and little revenue is bad business", but here I'm seeing "no work and no profit is bad business".

That's a high barrier to entry for someone coming from the software side. Just sourcing components can be a shitshow.

I wish there was a way to buy the hardware and get on with the project. Does it run Linux?

There are other big selling points of Rust, compared to GPU-specific languages. One is an expressive type system with algebraic types and generics. It's a lot easier to produce versions of code optimized for a certain use case. Only CU
