Very neat!

Some bugs I noticed:

Searching for Zurich allows you to go to the article for the canton of Zurich, not the city. Clicking the link "Zürich (city)" inside of this article, opens this same article again about the canton, rather than opening the actual article for the city

When viewing an article, the search for articles (leftmost search box) doesn't seem to work at all for me (in Firefox). When being on the main page, it does work

There's a small clickable 'home' button on the right, but muscle memory from how other websites work makes me expect that clicking the big title "Encyclopædia Britannica, 11th Edition" on the top left also goes to home

What's the effect of this in a populated area in a certain radius? Compared to nuclear power plants...

The fact that Century-bandwidth has a dash but decade bandwidth has not is weird, I didn't make the connection due to that (one sounded like a brand name, the other not)

Now please do it on a Cray-1 from 1976!

> A freaking notepad app takes almost 50mb in memory when equivalent NOTEPAD done in pure Win32 C takes 1.8mb of memory.

1.8MB? I don't know how much it took on our 386 computer with 4MB RAM and windows 3.11, but hopefully not that much

But can you even express this function with the elementary operator symbols, exp, log, power and trig functions? It seems to me like no, you can't express "largest real solution" with those (and what's the intended result for complex inputs?)

At least eml can express the quintic itself, just like the above mentioned operators can

Why not fix this at the browser level? E.g. long or double click on back button = go to previous non-javascript-affected page (I mean by that: last page navigated to in the classical sense, ignoring dynamic histories altered by js and dynamic content)

Interesting!

One thing I wonder now: NAND is symmetric while this isn't, could something similar be found where function(x, y) = function(y, x)?

Probably not often I'd say, but at least there were some games I played with wine where some executables to apply mods also ran in wine and worked, I vaguely remember some fix to make something be able to use more than a few GB of ram to allow farther or better remdering, sometimes just a strange combination of things is needed to get something to work. But that's actually long ago, these days everything just works in Steam instead

I don't seem to have issues modding games like Skyrim, Fallout 4 or Factorio on Linux

Not if it's on a map anymore

> I always found it odd that scaling down an image now and then scaling it back to its original size 2 seconds later with the same tool resulted in a loss of quality

Maybe it's because I grew up with Paint Shop Pro 6 and such, but that seems completely normal and expected to me

Yep, there were people hand-building wooden PC cases, building a fish tank into their case, painting fancy colors and patterns on it, ... And there were colored LEDs too, but they didn't come with bloatware OS-dependent software, because they didn't need software

"The dangling cables of wired headphones are a must-have fashion accessory in 2026"

Gee, is that the kind of stuff that makes people want this, rather than actual usefulness related reasons?

I want it because I don't want yet another thing to have to charge, and because I'd want to be able to throw some cheap headphones in my backpack that I can use the one time in a month that I actually need them in combination with a phone (which of course isn't possible anymore today)

Also, why are ANC headphones today worse for gaming than in the year 2018 when they supported aptx that had less lag? Technology is going backwards?

Bonus points for pngs SEO-optimized for image searches with "transparent" that have a fake opaque grid on them

Why all that stuff with namespaces when they could just not allow name reuse?

This reminds me of the British Post Office Scandal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Post_Office_scandal

C does different things for 0.0 / 0.0 and 0 / 0 and it's not that weird to deal with (well it has other issues like it being platform dependent what happens with this). JS has no problem with it either (0.0 / 0.0 gives nan, 0n / 0n gives exception since it are integers).

Python is the only language doing this (of the ones I use at least).

I don't think the notation `x: float = 0` existed when it was new by the way so that can't be the design reason?

since python seems to handle integer through integer divisions as float (e.g. 5 / 2 outputs 2.5), 0 / 0 giving nan would seem to be expected there

> liskov substitution principle

that would imply one is a subtype of another, is that really the case here? there are floats that can't be represented as an integer (e.g. 0.5) and integers that can't be represented as a double precision float (e.g. 18446744073709551615)

Office chair technology also has really advanced since then (looking at the chair on the picture, which is commonly seen near computers in photos of this era)

Python is extra annoying though with refusing to support division through zero the way other programming languages with IEEE floats do (i.e. output inf or nan instead of throwing an exception), even though it has no problem doing things like float('inf') / float('inf') --> nan. It specifically does it for division through zero as if it wants to be a junior grade calculator just for this one thing. They could at least have fixed this when breaking backwards incompatibility from python2 to 3...

man, cat, lynx... We're all just creatures in a vast universe

Please do share if this succeeded :)

Now I wonder if something similar is possible with the magnetic fields on VHS tape

What exactly is this:

Is this fast GPU like instructions that anyone can use in any operating system to run any open sourced LLMs on CPU with all your RAM rather than on a discrete GPU with its own limited amount of VRAM?

Or is this a proprietary thing that only works in Windows for some specific use cases and irrelevant for Linux users?

E cores ruined P cores by forcing the removal of AVX-512 from consumer P cores

Which is why I used AMD in my last desktop computer build

Isn't another solution to capture the video signal to the monitor?

> But people don't actually care about the environment.

They probably do if it's near their backyard

It does reference it in links on the 'COMPLETE' page

> My hope is that a breakthrough makes these planet-eaters complete folly, as a $100 optical processor trounces them.

Wouldn't one then just want to make even more compute-intensive ones by combining a million of these $100 optical processors?

Good points, the BAR FAQ's first question is "Best Twitch Stream Settings for BAR (OBS)", and the Gameplay page talks about physics, terrain, economy, units and weapons but answers nothing like: is there a single player campaign? Are there AI opponents? what's even the theme/setting of the game?
