That's Peter's old machine! Used to be in the care of Stacken, the computer club at Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. It's named Kicki because of the dual CPUs (KI KI). She had a sister named Katia ("a ten" in Swedish is "tia" and she had a KA CPU).

According to DEC you could only run one KI CPU, and then changed that when challenged to MAX two CPUs. So briefly she ran with three.

Nothing else than a bit of prompting went in to this.

I have a lifetime pass as well, but switched to Jellyfin years ago.

The app for public transportation in the Stockholm region give real time location updates for its busses, and station-to-station updates for tram and commuter trains. With the constant delays for the operator in my area it is invaluable for catching busses.

My guess is that the whole project including the selection of chips was made by an AI.

A bunch of us old salty sailing nerds were actually discussing Decca Navigator System¹ the other day that was still very present in the 90s on the ships we were sailing. Now all replaced and removed.

You should.

This describes how you turn off telemetry: https://github.com/microsoft/intelligent-terminal/blob/main/...

This kind of data was shown by late Hans Rosling and his foundation Gapminder¹. He gave a Ted talk² about similar subjects as well, and I find him an excellent lecturer.

But you can go 1500 miles on a full tank, so with electricity you have to account for three times as many vehicles as well (given the stated range is correct)

What did you do to start getting traction for senior positions? You were struggling in the beginning of the year.

> In the past, a job that would have given me two months and paid $5,000 is now expected to be completed in two weeks for the same $5,000.

So you have quadrupled your income? That seems like the opposite of a collapse.

I had to look into this again. In Valsgärde, close to Uppsala, Sweden you have confirmed ship/boat burials from 600CE. At the same time as the ship burials at Sutton Hoo in England. The "Swedish" (at the time national borders were different) had more in common with "Denmark" that in turn had closer relations to England. Tröndelag Norway had less of international trade leading up to the Viking age, at least compared to Denmark/Jutland and the Baltic.

Tjelvar on Gotland are presumed to be from 750BCE, and I don't think that is the oldest in Scandinavia.

Stone ships had been burial sites for two thousand years before the Vikings came to Lindisfarne. And long distance trade has been established and given the extent of the Battle of Tollense contact between tribes must have stretched far and deep. And Britain was an important source of tin so trade routes both started and ended there.

It isn't like boats were invented in Scandinavia by the vikings. At Tanum, close to the present Norwegian border we have rock carvings dating back to 1700BCE, with prominent ships depicted. Boatrs have been important in Scandinavia for a long time.

One of my nerd-quizzes I hade at interviews before was "what letters in what case are NOT flags to GNU ls".

À pull request is just you requesting someone to pull from you in git proper.

So the maintainer adds you as a remote and pulls from you.

Yeah, those contracts are not valid here as the right to livelihood will trump that contract.

So even if you sign that clause you are not bound by it.

Here in Sweden non-competes without a financial agreement is void. And those that offer some financial are probably OK, but haven't been tried extensively.

The non-competes I've signed have offered 60% of my base pay for six months (the length of the non-compete) if I cannot find a job because of the contract if the company exercise it.

They never have exercised it for me.

What hacks are you relying on that makes it impossible to upgrade to 1.25 or even 1.26?

There's a book about the sibling construction: the cat ladder. It's called "Arcatecture"[0].

At work in the 90s we gave tons of old Sparcstation 10s away. They rapidly replaced all IPX and IPS at the computer clubs around Sweden. One Volvo was destined for Luleå and was really weighted down with a trunk full of pizza boxes.

GPL was a response to Symbolics incorporating public domain into their software without giving back to the community (and Lisp Machines).

In the Nordics it's very rare. There were power outages this year that lasted for more than 24h for some customers. So naturally there was a public inquiry into how the power companies let that happen.

I worked for a short time for an American company. They had periodic phishing test from Mitnick. The links in those emails was not to be clicked as it would trigger a mandatory training. The emails also had a header saying they were a phishing test, so I deleted all those emails in a filter.

The company also ran a mail filter called Baracuda or something similar that followed links in emails to see if they were malicious.

I was quite annoyed when I was called to do the mandatory training as "I" had clicked a link (on an email I hadn't seen) and more so when told I had no other recourse than to sit through it.

I resigned shortly afterwards.
