“the Microsoft Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000 reports its name as Microsoft⟪AE⟫ Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000, encoding the registered trademark symbol ® not as UTF-8 as required by the specification but in code page 1252” is a sentence that seems to have come straight from unix_surrealism
No offense taken! I just believe that a subtle difference does not mean unimportant and wanted to be precise. I didn’t take you as someone who doesn’t understand analog and digital, especially considering your instance :) I edited my previous comment for some additional clarity. I just think they’re neat ^^
With “binary” I mean “has two states”, as in discrete, as in digital. You can represent binary bits using analog circuits, but it doesn’t make those circuits binary/digital. Likewise, you can represent continuous, analog functions using discrete logic, but it will always be an approximation. What makes these chips different is that they are able to not only represent but actually model continuous functions and values, like physical models.
This has nothing to do with retro technology. This is about thinking “is using binary really the most efficient way to run every computation we need to do?”, which is really relevant today.
What is the point of posting an LLM response to “what is web development”? Seriously? I don’t get it. If you don’t know and wanted to ask it, fine. But why copypaste it to c/technology?
The use of “tunneling” usually implies wrapping a protocol inside another, so it wouldn’t be mimicking QUIC, but rather be a genuine stream. I assume from the quote
#blessed by a chance to learn something on the aw 🙏
Ah, the good old days when malware could actually burn out your PC
Don’t mind me, just rocking my battery-powered hat
Digital (discrete, e.g. binary) is mutually exclusive with analog (continuous, e.g. voltage), but either can be either physical (existing in the real world), or virtual (simulated, represented).
A digital clock can be physical or virtual. A virtual clock can be digital or analog.
Btw I don’t think it makes sense to say redstone computers are “simulating binary”, at least not any more than real computers do. It’s just another digital computer, running in a virtual environment rather than a physical one.
“bitcoin bros” who use custodial wallets and “bitcoin bros” who do high-frequency trading on Coinbase are not the same people. This is not good news any way you spin it, just further consolidation of power.
EDIT: I got whooshed. Thanks for the reference :)
edit edit: Holt shit how did I miss this for 15 years. This is great, stayed accurate all this time.
Shoutout to software that had to deal with y2k and is still popular, gotta be one of my favourite genders.
FreeIPA + any mechanism to deploy configuration files.
Or, go full circle and manage thin clients connecting to a central Linux mainframe x)
No one, which is why they’ve come up with the new naming scheme to obfuscate what you’re actually getting
The original Kickstarter price was around 120
Hallelujah!
Is this damage control propaganda after the popular Benn Jordan video?
Mentioning one’s orientation is not “forcing to discuss your sexuality”. It was an introduction thread, not a technical one, so it’s not even out of place. Also, a community forum is not “work”
The political part is the mod intervention, not someone saying “I’m queer”
I do have a ton more questions, but I’m not sure if I want to ask them.
