Just like a person would!

There are uC versions like the W65C134S: https://www.westerndesigncenter.com/wdc/w65c134s-chip.php

C: is the boot partition with the DoubleSpace driver, D: is the compressed volume.

I'm getting "Windows Subsystem for Linux" vibes from the project name. Shouldn't this be called a HEUFX with a Californium source?

Someone linked the FAQ elsewhere and point 1.6 covers this: https://geminiprotocol.net/docs/faq.gmi#16-so-its-just-words...

I've seen "The Bat!" pop up frequently in computer magazine CDs as well, not sure how widely it was used though.

Are clients permitted/expected/tolerated to run off and fetch the contents of image links for inline display, once a page containing such links is retrieved?

I found a copy of the PC Game Programmer's Encyclopedia (PCGPE) back then but couldn't really wrap my head around most of the articles (especially the 3D stuff and Mode X).

Was it Ralf Brown? beej has C and networking tutorials: https://beej.us/guide/

Past discussions on the topic about articles that explore the mindset:

1) John Scalzi's "Being Poor"

Also if you have an older version of macOS. It will try to take the compiled route for packages but also prints a stern warning that your setup is unsupported.

You can ask for Mermaid syntax and receive nicely formatted block diagrams.

A bench warrant is indefinite so they will be brought to court immediately after core temperature and circulation is restored. It will be posted to the cylinder like a parking ticket.

IANAL, not in any of the parallel universes either!

Lock the taskbar, lock the taskbar!

Hopefully there aren't too many people with the name "First Last" running around.

Michael (A.) Jackson is the inventor of representing programs in this diagram format: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson_structured_programming

Are talk pages accepted as a source for the same article?

I'm not a participant nor creator, just remembering: "Bicycle Built for Two Thousand" recreated IBM's "Daisy Bell" by asking each person to take a short snippet and sing the part: https://youtu.be/Gz4OTFeE5JY

Delightful.

I'm thinking of these ICs: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskElectronics/comments/a8af60/can_...

One of the more famous toys using it (in blob form) is the Executor/Echo Keyller keychain: https://youtu.be/20W6AJuMjEk

How about that 8 sound effects IC with the machine gun, bombs away, laser pew-pew, siren sounds?

I have a few more primitive collection libraries in my bag if someone would like to shop around:

- PCJ: https://pcj.sourceforge.net/

- fastutil: https://github.com/vigna/fastutil

- HPPC: https://labs.carrotsearch.com/hppc.html

PCJ was last updated in 2003 and is now quite long in the tooth though.

F-29 Retaliator also has a "digitized picture" (more like artist's rendering) of the base, but the state seems to be off (Wyoming instead of Colorado): https://www.mobygames.com/game/6233/f29-retaliator/screensho...

Show us the Santa tracking device! ...it's probably an ADS-B receiver.

Isn't this the fun part?

Same here, I tried it on a 486 and it became an idle game. Just glancing on it from time to time, lines are still running down the screen, OK, move on to other things.

u-root is mentioned in the article -- I used buildroot and busybox for embedded Linux development while in university: https://buildroot.org/

When you have your (next) lightbulb moment, how would you monetize such an idea? Royalties? 1c after each request?
