can't wait to hear your comments after playing pacman: whoosh

nobody implied that. some people state the hope for it but that does not include me, I simply explained why OceanX does not satisfy SpaceX's goals.

everybody on this site is interested in the topic of exploring other planets in any solar system. that's all SpaceX is trying to do, but because of extraneous irrational unmet emotional needs people here simply lose their shit when the topic of SpaceX comes up.

Meanwhile, SpaceX will continue to be NASA's primary subcontractor. "Les chiens aboient, la caravane passe." (The dogs bark. The caravan passes.)

SpaceX is based on the idea that our planet will someday be uninhabitable, so we need to be ready to colonize other planets. The sooner we start, the sooner we get there.

OceanX might be fun science, but it's not going to save us.

at least put all the questions on the same screen, this "modern" way is ridiculous

but it did matter, a lot. the PDF format was originally proprietary and was designed to be proprietary and to disallow casual text extraction. I just didn't like the way you glossed over that, "it was OK that people for over 30 years were not given any way for the information they were given to be unshackled, but now it matters because our AI overlords were prefer that so we must change things!"

"The exception that proves the rule" is a saying whose meaning is contested. Henry Watson Fowler's Modern English Usage identifies five ways in which the phrase has been used,[1] and each use makes some sort of reference to the role that a particular case or event takes in relation to a more general rule."

duckduckgo search assist: The phrase "the exception that proves the rule" originates from the Latin legal principle "exceptio probat regulam in casibus non exceptis," which means that the existence of an exception indicates that a general rule exists. This concept suggests that if an exception is noted, it implies there must be a rule that applies in other cases.

are you saying that drone training in quiet residential neighborhoods is not training? are you saying self driving cars can only drive in theaters where they've been trained, because autonomous training is always specific by neighborhood? are you saying that if a particular region has some novel terrain that all previous training must be discarded?

if you don't maintain per capita GDP, you will not be able to maintain living standards.

The modern U.S. doctrine of standing traces back to mid-20th-century Supreme Court cases that crystallized the “injury in fact,” causation, and redressability triad, but its roots lie in early 20th-century rulings such as Fairchild v. Hughes (1920) that first linked federal judicial power to a plaintiff’s concrete injury.

i won't eat pancakes that are not crispy, or that were but were stacked up steaming in a pile till there were enough to serve to everybody at once: nope.

pancakes should be served individually as soon as they come out of the pan, round robin till nobody wants any more.

mouthfeel is everything.

MS-DOS was written to do what CP/M did.

(now, large growing companies need public investment in order to grow, so it might be said that there is some value to regulations as a cudgel, "no access to public capital markets if you don't open yourselves up more," but again, we can still rely on market pricing once decisions like that are made)

NVIDIA is something like 8% of the S&P 500, and these companies are projected to be higher: you can't ignore sectors like that if you believe in diversification to squelch unrewarded risk

S&P 500 rejects MPT when it decides not to issue a waiver from its ordinary rules which require at least a year long track record, a rule that is clearly a throwback to slower days when companies would invariably grow their way to be among the largest 500, and not IPO at that size. This old fashioned view throws a monkey wrench into the universally recommended, least-risk MPT/CAPM investment strategy of diversification because investors will need to individually buy these individual stocks to balance their ETF portfolios to reduce their overall risk, and then sell these stocks when they get added to the indices, incurring capital gains taxes that they wouldn't otherwise pay.

double pane with tabs would be handy so you could inspect or move files between two tabs. also, i'd really love two pane: filesystem and content viewer

the real glory days were the 70's when we all had to share a single multitasked computer, and the terminals (not enough for everybody) were all connected by wires and formed a sort of hive around the mini in a room called "the bullpen". Senior, junior, multiple unrelated projects sitting shoulder to shoulder, the shared tips and techniques, the humor, man it was so much fun. The day my coworker learned to play Ride of the Valkyries on the VT-100 keyboard due to a bug in the autorepeat function... music! the shared computer disk could not have held a single mp3 had mp3's even been invented yet

quote:

There were several PDP-11 clones made in Zelenograd near Moscow. Both multi-chip and, later, single chip versions.

Most quantities were 1801VM1 and 1801VM2. Second was much faster (over 10 MHz clock frequency). Both did not have extended addressing and were limited to 64k bytes address space. Later 1801VM3 appeared, containing 22 address extension much like PDP-11/70, but slightly different so original DEC programs could work with only 18 bit (256 kbyte).

These three CPU were not copy of any real chip from DEC. But there was another 5 chip CPU clone of DEC Professional 350. This model was cloned incredibly close, and called "Electronica 85".

I just think that's a nice way to use the word "scripting" instead of calling these scripts "programs" or calling things that are programs "scripts".
