The switch kernel / Horizon/NX is not based on FreeBSD. This has been debunked over and over. The wikipedia list is not correct in that regard.

Fully agree:

First exempt personal paid premium accounts from the api limitations & ads. Then the goal is to benefit from the already existing and thriving 3rd party app ecosystem. Make your API serve ads in non-premium API calls and profit share the ad revenue with 3rd party app developers. Optionally allow 3rd party apps to remove ads (paid API calls) and show their own ads, however make your ads more attractive & lucrative for 3rd party developers.

In the future I would also like to see that subreddits can gain control of the ads shown in their subreddits (subreddits already understand their audience far better than reddit corporate ever will). Then eventually profit share with moderator teams and content submitter, basically copy youtubes model to incentivize content submitters & good moderation.

The GDP Pocket 3 https://www.gpd.hk/gpdpocket3 comes very close to your requirements.

Reminds me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninja_rocks.

Maybe it was used to descale fish?

Not working in Germany.

Not really interesting per se, but useful when dealing with large recursive and sparse archives:

A python script that recursively searches through zipped files within zip files (within zip files...) to find files by name and content. The goal was not to unzip the recursive structure to the file system, since the unzipped files contained hundreds gigabytes of sparse data each. Instead it works directly on the file stream and keeps the memory requirements constant.

I read a while ago that these cars are pretty much unobtainable. Can someone shed some light as to why this is? The premise of the car seems like it would sell very well.

And thus become purse holders. The cycle repeats.

What about baseball cards

I always thought this was the most likely explanation.

Advanced civilization builds self-replicating probes, probes spread out over the whole galaxy. Stationed in every system to catalog signs of life evolving.

I am still running a HL-5250 DN which was released around 2005. Recently I've replaced the drum with an aftermarket part.

The only thing the irks me is the standby power consumption ~20W.

All I want is Sim City 2000 for mobile. I know it will not happen. Without microtransactions there is no way it will ever get green lighted by EA.

Using them since they started. No issues.

Reminds me of this paper [1] from 2011. See it in action in [2]

Edit: Just realized the paper above is also from Shinji Nishimoto

LinkedIn is a strange place indeed. People interacting like overexcited toddlers, banalities are shared like life-changing epiphanies, people are congratulating themselves on jobs well-done.

I considered writing a short story about an alien race that prepares for first contact with earth solely from learning about humans on LinkedIn.

I gave it a whirl some time ago. The answer is: extremely well. Blog post incoming

  The generation of electricity from a typical 1,000-megawatt nuclear power station, which would supply the needs of more than a million people, produces only three cubic metres of vitrified high-level waste per year.

High level waste makes around 3% of radioactive waste in a typical power plant.

Is there any information on the actual hardware components?

It was IK+ on the Amiga for me. Such chaotic gameplay, so many eastereggs (press T). The soundtrack and the digitized fighting noises. I miss that time.

You could be me :) I ran an Athlon 700 with BeOS as daily driver. So much goodness, such a glimpse of a future that never was.

IIRC, the leaked dan0 had a fix for this behaviour.

Most likely they know who paid for the address. I need to check if payment via credit card was an option in 2009 or SEPA only.

IIRC, the gmx.com address was registered again later by someone else.

The interesting thing is that satoshi was using a gmx.com address, emphasis on the .com. Those were only available to paying customers of GMX.de.

I just wish the screen had a little more contrast. Besides that, the productivity was awesome.

Later I switched to a Nokia 9210 Communicator (Nokia Series 80), basically a Psion 5 with networking and phone integration and a nice screen.

My living-the-future-moment was in the early 2000s sitting in car on the phone, then opening the phone, automatically switching to speakerphone and loading a spreadsheet to check some data. Later I emailed the sheet to a colleague and send the sheet as a fax from the phone to a customer. All from a single device.

The Sopranos, The Wire, Breaking Bad

These do exists e.g. Nuremberg in Germany has an autonomous subway since 2013.

I worked for a company that builds electric trucks and that have also shown battery trailers with cargo space. The engineers told me that the coupling of the battery on the trailer with the semi caused them a lot of worries. High voltage/amperage combined with mechanical stress and failure scenarios (failing mechanical coupling of the trailer, destroying the battery connection).

However it seems like the European companies heading this way.

Somewhere I read a quote that has stuck with me: Python is not the number one language in any aspect, but it is often the second best language.

This sums it up very nicely, I think. Without switching a language I can automate deployments, do machine learning tasks, implement ideas quickly, create backends, interface with most C libs easily and query apis.
