they asked why the author described it as such. i wondered the same, failing to see the python influence gpt4 intended

> The problem with platform threads is that they are expensive from a lot of points of view. First, they are costly to create. Whenever a platform thread is made, the OS must allocate a large amount of memory (megabytes) in the stack to store the thread context, native, and Java call stacks. This is due to the not resizable nature of the stack. Moreover, whenever the scheduler preempts a thread from execution, this enormous amount of memory must be moved around.

There are a few issues and inaccuracies in this statement.

While it is true that platform threads can be expensive in terms of resources, the claim that the OS must allocate "megabytes" of memory for the stack is an exaggeration. The actual size of the stack depends on the operating system and the specific implementation, but typical default values range from a few dozen kilobytes to a few hundred kilobytes, not megabytes.

The statement implies that the entire stack is moved around when the scheduler preempts a thread from execution. This is not accurate. When a thread is preempted, the operating system saves the context of the thread, which is a relatively small amount of data, including the values of the CPU registers and the program counter. The stack itself is not moved around during this process.

It is not correct to say that the stack is "not resizable." While the default stack size is set by the operating system, many programming languages and operating systems allow you to specify the stack size when creating a new thread. However, it is true that once a thread has been created, its stack size typically cannot be changed.

The very first sentence of wikipedia: "Vim (/vɪm/;[5] a contraction of Vi IMproved)"

I see a way to get "VIM" out of that.

Though it looks like originally, in 1993, you'd have read: "Vi IMitation":

instant search is easily my favorite way to experience steamdb

to those who haven't used the tool (listed at bottom of page), it can be great for discoverability with a ton of filters, and quick responses

similar story for me a year ago. grandpa got a call that i was in jail for hitting a car and the driver was pregnant. lost her baby. they even had “me” talk to them briefly which really got em believing. he went to bank and mailed $9500 in cash, to what ultimately appeared to be an airbnb

was v sad because he felt supreme humiliation over the matter.

ctrl+r is great

so is modifying your inputrc so you can still use up arrows but filter the options by first typing a bit of text

i.e. $ find <up arrow to just show lines starting with find>

tada:

    $if mode=emacs
    "\e[A": history-search-backward
    "\e[B": history-search-forward
    $endif

I do a bit more in that if block, but trimmed it down to make a point

“just a dash of” css would help the user not have to stretch-zoom the website, and then have to pan left and right because the text doesn’t dynamically wrap?

The Quietus did a piece[1] celebrating the anniversary, remarking on the pregap[2] and how various artists would leverage it:

> On their third album, 1999’s Guerrilla, Super Furry Animals slipped one of their best songs, ‘Citizens Band’, into the pre-gap, that is, the neverzone before the album proper. Autechre pulled the same trick, in the same year, on EP7, hiding an eerie six minutes of intricate sound design which seems years ahead of its time, and then three minutes of silence, before ‘Rpeg’. They did it again, including the untitled track in the pre-gap to the fourth disc of EPs 1991-2002.

> Pre-gap tracks are a CD-specific phenomenon, paralleled only by DVD Easter Eggs, or hidden levels in a computer game. On the one hand, they’re only possible digitally, on the other, they seem to be an attempt to add some mystique to a circle of plastic. They are a defense of the physical medium because it is impossible to rip them to your computer. Finding them meas having a bit of extra knowledge about the artist, uncovering a hidden layer of depth others hadn’t noticed.

> Earlier, experimental artists took even greater strides into the CDs unique sequencing possibilities. Otomo Yoshihide’s 1993 release The Night Before the Death of the Sampling Virus is a fluctuating voice collage designed specifically for the medium. Its 77 tracks are tiny, most less than a minute, few going above two. The listener is encouraged to hit the random option on their hi-fi. “To play this release in random mode is to allow the SAMPLING VIRUS to regenerate, to mutate with near infinite possibilities.”

> Eccles, UK-based experimentalists Stock, Hausen, & Walkman encouraged listeners to do something similar with their debut album, Giving Up. From the release notes: “The Original CD had 60 ID points deliberately inserted in the middle of a lot of the tracks so that random play would cut the music up and present the listener with a new and unique 'remix' version if desired.” There were things you could do with a CD, that you definitely couldn’t do with a tape or LP.

Are you asking for the Shareware version? Otherwise prob the wrong place to ask ;)

I'll say this: archive.org is quite the trove for things of this nature

A very narrow slice of what Justine said in Discord: "But yes, at least one employee at Microsoft has to vouch for the project, or else Windows support won't be able to continue."

Wrong in the moral sense?

He's still there though, right?
