Shell (the oil company) is actually named Royal Dutch Shell. For a moment I was confused by the title.

According to wikipedia it is really named after sea shells.

what exactly is a cyberdeck (outside of Neuromancer)?

Still waiting for The Moon and Serpent Bumper Book of Magic

He seems to forget that the Amiga had the OS in a ROM (or, in the case of the A1000, in a separate Kickstart disk to be loaded at power-up).

Boot-loaded Games disposed of the GUI (Workbench) and some other things, but the OS was not included in them.

Is there a good RPN calculator currently? The HP Prime is lacking apparently, and the 50G is no longer available (and a bit old)

Agreed.

Nice, but I've never understood the appeal of reduced keyboards such as this, where even the digits require a modifier key.

On the contrary, I would really like an XL version of the Lisperati with an enormous keyboard, space-cadet-like, that also includes unshifted parentheses.

The Italian national identity is rather weak compared to other European nations. Metternich famously quipped that “‘Italy’ is a geographic expression”, and it is still true today to some extent.

actually I consider Lisp a plus. I was asking about the algorithms mostly

I loved PAIP at the time, but it's 30 years old now. Is it still relevant? anything newer?

Seconded. But why legacy browsers? My mid-2010 MBP, still going strong, runs High Sierra, which supports all current browsers.

Proxmox BS is recent and looks very good. The only problem, at the moment, is that the client is only available for a small set of platforms/OSes. Also no bare metal recovery of a proxmox VE installation (AFAIK).

First thing to do when you buy a mac: buy a two-button mouse.

For when you only have the trackpad, enable two-digit touch as secondary button.

IIRC, vertical margins collapse, horizontal margins do not

> The idea that buildings in Venice are layered, with newer ones built on top of older ones when they succumbed to the water seems to be mythological.

It is pure invention. (Source: architect living near Venice).

Probably originated from Hollywood movies, where Venice features underground tombs, sewers and tunnels; and palaces can be sunk like ships hit by a torpedo.

meanwhile, Stefany Allaire put an end to the C256 Foenix project :(

A post-it note is about 0.07 mm thick, so according to the article it’s within the allowed limit of 0.1 mm.

pve-zsync ?

If I understand the description correctly, dangerzone completely rasterizes the pdf. This seems pretty drastic. Isn't there some tool that just checks the PDF or removes the scripting, without having to install a commercial antivirus software?

Zfs on a laptop means you run zfs with a single disk?

Luna is a feminine noun in latin. So, lunicula.

Except it does not seem to work. All I get at the end of the procedure is: "Your download request has been completed, but no data of this type is available in your account.".

Export to HTML had some non-trivial changes in output.

Where? Isn’t V4 still unreleased?

Nitpick: in system dynamics, a self-reinforcing loop is called "positive feedback", whether it is desirable or not. A "negative feedback" is a stabilizing mechanism.

But what does "safe" really mean? Systems fail in unexpected ways; Chernobyl was operated in an improper way, which feels somehow "unfair" wrt risk assessment, but so it goes. Nassim Taleb suggests that we should minimize the maximum possible damage instead of trying to make precise risk assessments; looking at things this way, nuclear energy does not seem a very wise bet, because of the consequences of the worst-case scenarios. Burning things is not harmless either, but has a different risk profile.

So what is missing/wrong in the article?

(btw, I submitted not because I agree with it – I am not knowledgeable enough on the matter – but because I thought HN could add some interesting comment on it)

Is XSL-FO usable? Last time I looked at Apache FOP it lacked things that have been in css for decades (e.g. floats)

Why, then, there is a widespread hostility towards Cloanto in all Amiga boards, /r/amiga etc.?
