  1. I have said it before, going nuclear is the most reasonable reaction to Trump's victory.
    This not only applies to Ukraine but to other countries relying on American protection as well.
    The governments in Seoul and Taipei will watching closely and might follow on the same path.

  3. @littlealex @mxk @stirz @Thorsten_Guenther @onion @cymaphore It doesn't have the sound or sprites or the quite bendable VIC-II, but there are some pretty great scenedemos that take advantage of the system's 121-color capabilities.

    Impressive, in its own right.

    Just one, youtube.com/watch?v=BvxXKbdxfD

  4. I got distracted yesterday, but to continue what I promised:
    Everyone who knows me, knows that I am slightly obsessed with the Zuse #z23. So I was happy to see (small) parts of it at the #ComputerHistoryMuseum.
    But the choice of cards is slightly confusing.
    This computer is built out of discrete transistor logic, on relatively low density cards. So what happened here is, they apparently selected 2 visually interesting cards and by doing so picked cards which are analog in nature and not part of the compute logic at all!

    One of the cards has 601 visible, which is the identifier of this card type, which can be looked up in the official documentation, which luckily is hosted online by multiple universities.
    This tells us, that this is actually part of the storage drum (think hard disk, but the data is on the side rather than on the top surface) and it's a "single impulse amplifier".
    I totally see how that happens, as a card with 4 transistors and 4 resistors isn't visually interesting to look at.
    I am also very aware, that I am probably one of 10, certainly less than 100 people alive, who would notice this.
    We talk about an obscure German computer from the late 1950s after all.

  5. Since I will try to have a relaxed day, expect some sorted thoughts from the last week and in particular yesterday's museum visits.
    I start with one of the most unusual exhibition pieces:
    A Xerox Parc Beanbag Chair.

    You can choose your banks.

    There are several that work in the browser.

    I also don't understand why everything has to run in app.

    Every additional app weakens the overall system and controlling the data becomes a hell of a ride.

  9. Old and busted:
    asymmetric CPU cores.
    New and hot:
    Asymmetric cache layout.
    Seriously, writing good scheduler for everything from this to arm BIG.little and Intel's P-core/E-Core is a challenge where I am not sure how to properly solve it.

  11. K-Rino - Let It Burn

    youtube.com/watch?v=k-MXkI3vw1

    “Burn burn Babylon bathe in the fire
    Centuries of evil increase the flames higher
    Every rule has an end every nation has a term
    It's time for the devil to receive what he earned
    America long gone, when the smoke clears
    And it won't cool down for three-hundred more years
    So burn burn Babylon bathe in the fire
    Centuries of evil increase the flames higher”

  12. Tip: if someone in a work context tells you "here are some suggestions I got from a chatbot", just replace "chatbot" in your head with "my preschool kid".
    Most likely the suggestions are just as useful, but somehow your colleagues would never dare to suggest you should follow advice from their preschoolers.

  18. I am not sure, but I have a suspicion, that copy pasting GDB output into word and then exporting it as a PDF wasn't the best format for data exchange the colleagues could have chosen.
    They even left in the pagination prompts.

  19. Writing selinux rules on Android often feels like a very absurd text adventure.
    You change one thing, get one step further, but now 3 different doors have closed behind you and you are being chased by an angry preprocessor.

  22. Completed my biggest #Lego set so far. #Bricklink 910053 Thieves or Tortuga.
    And while I like its final looks, I have to say the building experience was something else.
    It is my second Bricklink Designer Program set and unlike Ominous Isle the construction is somewhat uninspired.
    The design of the palm trees is nice and the hidden skeleton behind bars are nice, but other than that I would say I learned no new building techniques from it and that's really disappointing to me.
