IIRC The SR71 stopped being useful as a spy plane because missile defence improved to the point they could be shot down, and spy satellites took over the duties of reconnaissance.

These old airframes do get incremental upgrades to software/avionics/engines etc, and there is actually a SR-72 in development as a UAV.

Running Windows 11 now, and for the first time ever I'm seriously considering running some flavour of Linux with a separate windows partition for games.

The amount of crap they are constantly shovelling down your throat is jaw-dropping. Add in the growing UI inconsistencies, options I turn off re-appearing after every 'feature update' and its just not worth it.

Also, not sure if I'm running on the beta channel right now, but damn is the thing unstable as anything, opening task manager takes FOREVER, explorer is incredibly slow and crashes frequently.

Maybe he started writing in it and never stopped!

Isn't there some kind of genetic component to this? People with certain DNA find sweetner disgusting? [1]. I'm the same as you they taste awful, but to some it just tastes like sugar.

Hi, offtopic from the above but, I am trying to use your sgml npm package to parse some OFX files, I wonder if you could give some guidance on a problem i am having? I am trying to move away from a wasm compiled OpenSP.

I'm using am example from your website to try and convert from ofx to xml.

"content must start with document element when document type isn't specified" is the error I get.

Many thanks!!

Yes! Thanks!

Does anyone have any good examples of Zig being used as a build system for a large project?

Coming from a Windows world when my gigantic C++ project is hidden inside a vcxproj I dont delve into that often, I tried to compile a standard autoconf based project into wasm the other week and eventually gave up.

Use autoconf to create your cmake to create your make which builds your lib? and wrap all those calls with emscripten calls...or something along those lines. It was exhausting. Eventually it errored out becuase it couldn't decide if the size of a size_t was available. I was tempted to just remove that line from the cmake.

Maybe its just me but I'm not a massive fan of the lemmy 'front-page', it feels too squashed horizontally, and also too vertically spaced-out. The font feels too big,

Or maybe I just hate all change and want it to look more like old.reddit.com...

From my experience with Xamarin i dont have high hopes. Every time i needed to some do something slightly interesting I had to write wrappers for both the iOS and Android API's to get anywhere.

I think this causes its own host of issues as there are a load of other nasties such as arsenic etc in seawater which would build up there.

IIRC These can have thier own host of problems because the 'brine' byproduct doesn't mix well back into the ocean and can settle/pool and create marine dead zones. Although suppose that will be less of a priority if people are thirsty.

I haven't read the books but felt the series sort of floundered a bit in the later epsiodes, and in particular found myself not that interested in any scenes not containing Empire (can thank Lee Pace for that!) but excited to see where it goes.

I use Siri fairly frequently for setting timers, controlling my smart home and the like, but for me where it falls down is really understanding natural language. Personally I found that google assistant was way way ahead of siri in this regard. I could ask it to do something and it would just understand what I want.

One issue I frequently have with siri is that commands that work one day suddenly don't the next. If I ask siri to "lock screen" it tries to find smart home door locks (which i dont have) instead of locking the device screen, eventually I figure out some combination of lock device/screen/phone screen/off etc that works, so siri does know how to do this but isn't smart enough to figure out my intent.

The other issue is that siri unlike google assistant can't maintain a train of thought, You can't say "hey siri dim the bedroom lights" and follow that up with "hey siri..a bit more" unlike with google where it seems to be aware of the context of what it did prior.

its why they're spinning up the big bud again!

Been using this for a while now - love it! Fantastic tool, simple and super reliable, just works out of the box!

Pretty sure the F-22 has had multiple upgrade cycles over its lifetime, so its not really all old 90's tech.

I think in reality spinning up production again would essentially be a new fighter based on the same core design, maybe reusing a lot of the parts.

I have absolutely no interest in the size or portability of the switch and bought mine solely to play exclusives (Mario/Zelda/etc). If those were available on PC outright i'd have never purchased the device

But isn't the walled garden in thsi case part of the appeal? i.e. running windows on it bare metal would not be as performant because of all the tighly coupled hardware-software integration apple do?

Apple makes other browsers on iOS use the safari engine under the surface. So the core functionality you're seeing of, e.g. rendering the webpage and video codec support is just safari. Chrome/FFox are just sugar around the safari engine, they won't allow other engines

Won't enterprise always go for the quadro cards which are more like $4000+

But could this simply be down to the fact that people were actively managing/combatting COVID-19?

A group of my friends and I maintain a (private) google doc of shows/games/books/movies/etc we have watched/read/etc with ratings and shorts reviews for the others.

Even without the review element its nice to keep track of what you have watched.

I spent a good while looking to see if there is/was any kind of open source self-hosted IMDB style thing I could throw on AWS we could use instead of a goole doc but doesn't seem like there is anything. Anyone come across anything similar? My next step is to roll my own and maybe hook into a few APIs so we can get thumbs etc.

Why not the stable version (2019) instead of a literal preview...

They have gained things like high refresh rate and OLED etc, though

From looking at it on Google images, could it be that this device has other downsides? Making doors more awkward to open, increasing turning radius etc?

This looks like exactly something i've been after! I used to use an iOS app but really missed becuase able to access it on windows....but the pricing just seems way too high. Its more expensive than a photoshop sub...

The RAM is limited to 16GB, IIRC the max I/O throughout is also somewhat limited as well, so you have to compromise on number of USB4/10Gb Lan etc

I think both intel and AMD use Nickel plated Copper IHS'

To play devils advocate, I think from apples perspective they 100% don't want people using random SD cards they buy from amazon then calling up apple tech support for help when it fails/corrupts all their photos that weren't synced to the cloud, posting complaints online about how the iOS lost all thier photos etc...

Although personally i think there still should be one, and a headphone jack!
