Did I miss Mazda releasing the FF model? I didn't know they had a performance car on the market currently.

berbec··on Is this the simplest (and most surprising) sorting algorithm ever? (2021)
Algorithm 1 ICan’tBelieveItCanSort(A[1..n]) for i = 1 to n do for j = 1 to n do if A[i] < A[j] then swap A[i] and A[j]

Nothing makes me feel safe like my Canyonero.

"Can you name the truck with four wheel drive, Smells like a steak and seats thirty five? Canyonero! Canyonero! Well, it goes real slow with the hammer down, It's the country-fried truck endorsed by a clown, Canyonero! Canyonero!"

"12 yards long, 2 lanes wide, 65 tons of American pride! Canyonero! Canyonero! Top of the line in utility sports, Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts! Canyonero! Canyonero! She blinds everybody with her super high beams, She's a squirrel-squashin', deer smackin' drivin' machine, Canyonero! Canyonero! Canyonero! Whoa, Canyonero! Whoooooaaaa!"

I have used Moon+ Reader [1] for years with the build-in Android TTS service. It works very well, is free, and sounds good enough for me.

berbec··on Bunster: Compile bash scripts to self contained executables
Seeing as how they just implemented the IF statement[0] two weeks ago, I'm going to hold of for a few more releases before testing.

berbec··on Thanks to Nvidia, there's a new generation of PCs coming and they'll run Linux

berbec··on Nvidia announces next-gen RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 GPUs
I've been looking hungrily at a 5700x3d, but just can't justify spending more money on AM4. I'm saving up for a 9800x3d.

I've considered just disabling a CCD to see how that works.

I get under 50fps in certain places in FF14. I run a 5900x with 32GB of ram and a 3090.
berbec··on Apple M5 could ditch unified memory architecture for split CPU and GPU designs
I'l admit it's a technicality, but the 16/256 is $599.00. A 32/512 is $1199.00 and two 16/256s are $1198.00, so it is $1 cheaper
berbec··on Short Message Compression Using LLMs
> Fabrice also makes some programs you might use, like FFMEG and QEMU

This would be the one sentence that wouldn't cause me to look down on somoene, if used as a third-person humble-brag.

berbec··on Apple M5 could ditch unified memory architecture for split CPU and GPU designs
I love the fact you can buy two 16GB/256GB Mac Minis and have cash leftover compared to somone that bought a single 32GB/512GB Mac Mini. Apple's upsells are insane
berbec··on Why are Americans paying so much more for healthcare than they used to?
You really want to live in a world where anyone with $10k can start prescribing medication? It'd be nice for the heroin dealer down the street, as the no longer have to worry about the cop. Just pay your yearly fee and start slinging Oxy. No downside to that, right

berbec··on Licking this "lollipop" will let you taste virtual flavors
I have played hundreds of hours of This War of Mine, and have to say this is one feature I would rather never be implemented. The game centers around human misery in a war-torn civilian population, and those tastes are things I do not want to experience.

Overcooked would be fun, otoh.

berbec··on Broadcom loses another big VMware customer
Imagine being able to centrally manage a massive fleet of these virtualbox-s and centrally control what storage, network, cpu and other compute resources get used. Throw in replication, high-availibility and a host of other features. Think on-prem AWS
