  1. Ein Ex-#Tesla-Ingenieur treibt mit seinem Startup #MarianaMinerals die Automatisierung einer #Kupfermine in #Utah voran.

    In Kooperation mit #Pronto, inzwischen Teil von #Atoms, starten autonome #Muldenkipper. Die Fahrzeuge sind in das eigene Steuerungs-System MineOS integriert und sollen Abläufe ohne direkte menschliche Eingriffe koordinieren. Ziel ist eine Software-basierte #Bergbau-Strategie, die Produktivität steigert und dem Fachkräftemangel begegnet.

  4. Cuidado, porque la presentación de #Hackapet ha sido brutal.

    Un equipo decidido a revolucionar los #refugios, #protectoras y #santuarios de animales, de #València, y el mundo entero, con #SoftwareLibre. ¿Qué más se puede pedir?

    Hemos grabado la presentación como hemos podido, ojalá podáis verla #pronto.

  5. Hoy en su malograda sección del:

    𝗔𝗹𝗺𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝗹 𝗕𝗶𝗲𝗡𝗔𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿

    Mi compa querido @flan se puso también a jugar con ErsatzTV para echar la mano para levantar VTV en el NAS.

    Al momento hay configurados DOS canales, uno de series infantiles y otro de series generales donde tengo incluso Kipatla porque ME GUSTA DE A MADRES KIPATLA.

    Dos canales, jalan el contenido de Jellyfin y se lo devuelven como sintonizador.

    También jala en VLC y otros.

  6. Ever seen one of these?

    I had a classmate that used to bring his to class every night. Just slung his satchel w/the keyboard over his shoulder and carried this in his arms up the elevator and down the hall to class.

    It's a Pronto Series 16, running at a blazing fast 8Mhz, and that's a 5.6 MByte removable hard disk there too. Pronto Computers was located in Torrance (my hometown) just down the street from Epson and Ashton Tate (dBase II, III)

    Heck I can't even remember the guy's name, but he worked in some local aerospace company and fancied himself an ubergeek; if this box is any indication he sure was, lolz.

    So what's so special about this machine? Well, if you ask any 50 people about an IBM compatible computer that ran on an intel 80186 CPU they'll prolly all tell you there was never any such beast - but there was, and this was it (I recall it was fast as fuck, so they prolly pioneered manufacturing production machines that were ahead of their time, while IBM and the clone manufacturers decided to skip a generation and take their time working on a platform that leveraged the 80286.).

    The hard disk was light years ahead of its time too - portable Zip Drives (100MBytes) didn't appear on the scene for another ten years, but this was an actual miniature hot swappable Syquest HDD spinning at I believe, the standard of 3600 RPMs.... I can't be sure though, but it was nice listening to that quiet buzz saw sound just singing along.

    We were in a Pascal class together, so he would show up, insert a disk, boot to UCSD P-System and off he would go. The rest of us would too, but we had those noisy 5&1/4" floppy disks that made all those cute noises in our IBM 5150 PCs (4.77MHz 8080 CPUs), lolz.... Well, we did have a few XT's w/HDDs, some VT-52 like terminals for the PDP-11, and some 3270 terminals too connected to a mainframe at the main campus in Sandy Eggo.

    His #Pronto was a screamer for sure, and I'd only ever seen an amberchrome monitor for mini computers at work, which were much larger. The graphics (Yah, we actually called them graphics at the time) were superior to what we could do w/o an expensive #Princeton_Graphics #CGA card and matching .51mm dot pitch color monitor too.

    I had lots of minis, super-minis, and a few mainframes at work, but in the personal computer world there was literally nothing that could perform like this 8MHz 186... nothing. It was a screamer!

    But alas, after him spending close to five grand, the IBM 3270 PC/AT was soon to be released, relegating that guys 186 hot rod to the annals of forgotten songs and unsung heroes. The new #AT_Class machines kinda trickled in though, so if you wanted one of those you got to the computer lab early. They also supported HD Floppies w/1.2MB storage - a vast improvement over that of the earlier, so-called Double Density 360KB floppies, although there were some issues moving data between those two formats that required a few tricks - like loading an earlier command.com (kinda like sourcing another shell once you ssh into a box)... Okay I'm rambling.

    I kinda liked that guy, and kinda didn't. Most of the other students didn't care for him too much. He was arrogant and one of those, "Mine's better than yours" sort of person, but he was competent, friendly with me, generally speaking, for a guy who was wound real tight, and I could tell he didn't get any pussy, so I kinda felt sorry for him too.

    I should mention that there technically were a couple of other manufacturers out there during that era shipping 80186 computers, but I've never seen any of them and don't know anything about them.

    Well, that's about it for that era, I just thought that I'd share that little bit of computer history with everyone. I hope you enjoyed reading about this truly innovative machine and it's brief time on the market.

  7. San Diego finally has a reasonably priced, reasonable to use mobile app. I ride the bus and trolly about 500% more often because of it. Now if only they would only add “bus” and “trolly” the app search terms it would be perfect. #pronto

  8. @benoit rubocop is an essential tool to have available for doing automatic improvements

    but devs then don't know how to introduce it in smaller steps

    I would always add rubocop with #pronto, like this for example:

  9. So you have to watch rabbits a little closer for problems. By the time you actually see that they're "a little #sick", they may in fact be quite sick indeed. Add to this that rabbits can be prone to G.I. #stasis (which I understand is also a big deal in #horses, and probably #donkeys?), which can be fatal very quickly, and it means you need to keep on your toes.

    If your rabbit isn't well - uncharacteristically refusing food or something - get them to an #exotics #vet #pronto.

  10. @thehill Who advised him... #Ginni#ClarenceThomas is a foul, corrupt piece of shit unworthy of his high office. He's got to go #pronto. #Roberts is a spineless, cowardly, tone-deaf piece of shit. He has to go too...
