Cardboard caskets are half-way there.

In Sweden they used to reuse pacemakers a couple decades back. Don't know about now. I think also American pacemakers are exported to India.

"With the 2026 edition, adding #[abort_safe] to an asynchronous statement would generate an AbortSafeFuture implementation instead of Future. Any async function written with pre-2026 editions implements the AbortSafeFuture trait, making all existing async code compatible with the new edition (recall that an abort-safe statement is callable from any context)."

I can't help but read this as a spoof on the spelling reform of the English language? [0]

Thank you. How do I pick a different username?

A decent heuristic.

Railbikes only go on tracks no longer used for regular traffic.

as opposed to?

But it's not like they take old spacecraft sterilized with these solutions, bring them back, and try the liquid again?

Yes, I'm sure there is some kind of selection, but it should be more of a one-shot affair, not a continous cycle, like how it with anti-biotics and resistant strains.

What two parts are those?

zstd strikes a nice balance here. It can inject markers in the bytestream to make it "rsync friendly", but one could just as well say "binary diff friendly".

zstd itself also has the (pretty new) ability to use a shared file as shorthand during compression. What that means in practice is that diffs can be REALLY tiny if you have the previous archive download.

Hi dang.

Possibly you could run the full stack with Qemu or https://sheepshaver.cebix.net/

Might even work fast enough on a Raspberry Pi 4.

If you boot on actual hardware (no VM), if your application code + kernel (or unikernel) fits in under 192 megabytes, you are golden.

Nice to see a 35mm film Arriflex camera instead of something digital on the shoot. :-)

A port of a compiler, for instance TCC, seems to be the next logical step. TCC could be a portable executable.

Username checks out. :)

To "xerox" is or was to photocopy, in the US too.

WHY would it work like that?

My A1392 gets very hot though.

"It will fix all thing things!"

Maybe?

(Shipping container housing sometimes invokes the same enthusiams which could seen at times in the 1950s for nuclear.)

The machines are just nibbling at the edges of what we can do. I think the jury is still out whether GAI will be a thing.

I am, not sure how common that is. But only when downtown.

Ten year old SAABs (it went bankrupt 10 years ago) read roadsigns.

In Sweden, there was until just recently, 21 regional indendepent police, plus a national investigative unit. (And the secret police and the military police.)

Now the 21 regional police have been merged into one national police.

Less outsourcing means being less beholden to Egypt, too.

There was a driver for Windows 3.x (third party, I think) which made it so Windows programs could play samples. But the computer was unresponsive during playback.

It was still semi-useful, you got the little Windows sounds playing, and if I recall correctly, there was a Windows Zeppelin game which was more fun with sporadic sound samples playing.

I upgraded my mothers 80286 PC clone with a separate ISA 8-bit MFM harddisk interface. I put in an 80486 (SX?) motherboard, which of course had IDE disk connectors. But, partly because I didn't have any spare IDE disk, and partly to make it a plug-in upgrade, I just moved over the ISA card to the 80486 motherboard and called it a day.

It was actually a very productive setup, Word 6 was really fast on that machine and the little sounds from the PC speaker driver as a nice novelty.

What you really need here is a Kubernetes monad.

Dang, are you seriously not going to reinstate this account?

I don't know why, but I feel personally slighted by your ban.

Hard-coded "dreaming" of a an optical "net".

Wow, that's a stretch. "Primarily." I have a handful of comments. This is my main account. Ban away. Your loss.
