But a defrag FAT jumps much much less, because the cluster slots allocated to the same file will be close to each other, often in the same sector. I would be surprised if DOS doesn't optimize for this case.

Intel is heavily investing now, meaning less profits in the coming years. That may put off a lot of existing investors.

A suggestion: in bad weathers, the server should turn off during the time when there is less visitors and less sunshine. That probably could help it to serve a few more days (Of course the visitors must know when is the best time to visit)

What do you mean "obfuscated"? This is the cleanest C code I've ever read in quite a while.

This also happened to me. A very important email was put under the promotions. Usually I just kept the gmail tab open and didn't check my phone. Fortunately for me, I noticed this mail on my phone when I was clearing the unread status.

At the same time, all sorts of ads fall into my inbox repeatedly, even I deliberately mark them as spam or junk.

( Being cautious, I just checked the promotions again. And there is another important email lying. WTF!)

I bought an eink display once, thinking to use it for text editing, but returned it the second day. There is nothing paper like when it comes to typing.

You are right. Every app lives in its Sandbox, so it is really not an issue.

Shijing is a collection of folksongs, so of course the words must sound very nice at the day, or the music behind them must be good. Jian Jia is in my opinion one of the best, which by the way rhymes well even in Mandarin.

But I don't like how it sounds in the video, and those weird sound bits (no idea what you call them) is not very friendly for singing either.

The author tried to paint Orwell just as "next man", but he can't even write half as clearly as Orwell does.

Great choice of QuickJS. I would go with SQLite3 for storage though.

I thought it was from bwk.

I don't see how that could be acceptable in macOS world.

This is an insult to their OS team. macOS appears to be working just fine.

I have always been looking for something to UML as markdown to HTML. Any idea? Not text based tools though. PlantUML is nice, but it already feels like coding instead of modeling.

It was striking for me when I read his paper on self replicating machine, basically a design spec for DNA, and that was in the 40s. I still can't believe it.

The author didn't define what owning means, but my guess is that, the computer must not run code without his approval, and must be able to run any code he wants.

Nowadays, you can only truly own an emulator.

> satellites need to be simultaneously in view of your terminal and a spacex earth station.

Does that mean that there is no connection between satellites?

Recently I also had a similar experience, when I was about to call it a day, then discovered that there is another 10%.

How can you tell a lunatic from a philosopher? Am I sounding like a lunatic now? You can refuse to answer, but why stop me from asking?

As of today, Computed goto is still much faster than switch, both on x64 or arm64.

I only saw them occasionally, never tried to understand them before.

Thanks. That is clear.

I have trouble understanding this kind of talk. What's a problem domain, what's its dimension and normalization, and what's the high order logic all about? Can we use plain words people from our grandfather generation can recognize?

I guess there should be a difference between binary code translation and emulation. Emulation gives you a feeling that you are doing it instruction by instruction, but here from the benchmark, there are tasks heavily relied on system provided API, and behind those API calls are highly optimized native code.

They really should hire the team behind MDN.

This is an emulator! everything runs inside a sandbox within sandbox.

> a similar knotation that Louis Kauffman

that's much simpler to understand than the lambda diagram.

Insanely powerful.

I was confused too, then I tried to picture them as AAPL holders, and it makes me feel more comfortable ever since.

Why we didn't hear anything about it at the time?
