I would like to see a advertisement for “The C Programming Language - ANSI edition”. Yes I have a copy but would like to see it advertised on YouTube. Wish my copy was signed :/

Former Australia scaffolder here: The bamboo scaffold is used to hold people mainly and to act as fall protection not support weights like steel scaffold (i.e They won't be storing I-Beams on it temporarily or shifting wheel barrows full of cement). Weight difference in people. When I was scaffolding in Australia, I was 70Kg and 178cm tall. I was working with people who were 100-120kg+, Those people would have been carrying 4-5 steel boards about 80-100kgs on their shoulder, I was carrying 3-4 steel boards 60-80kgs. Light duty scaffold, is 2 boards wide (450mm) and 3m long bays. I could pass another person my weight, but some one who is 100-120Kg+ I would struggle on scaffold. Most of it is build at heavy duty steel which is 5 boards wide + 2 board hop ups and 2.4m long (Standards say it should be 1.8m long). After 45M high, scaffold has to restart again and they use I beams inside the buildings and U heads under the screw jacks before they start building again. I prefer buildings 4 storeys high (1 ground + 3 levels), that is you get the sun in the winter and if the shit hits the fan even if you jump from that high you may break bones but you should still be able to live depending on what you land on.

How does this war affect US companies moving their manufacturing from China to India? Will they stay in China to carry on manufacturing? Will Apple extend manufacturing in China?

I have a T43, slowly working on a VESA driver for NeXTSTEP 3.3 (Yes there is a driver for OpenStep 4.2).

Using Ghidra and the source that Apple released. Final set up will be, NeXTSTEP3.3, DOS6.22 (AutoCAD R12, Matlab), WinXP (For Encarta 95 and Mindmaze) and NetBSD.

I thought ast (Andrew Tanenbaum) would cycle past and kick you in the water and say "This is Minix territory".

Damn this instruction won’t speed up Amiga chunky to planar conversion.

Encarta 95 with mindmaze 95, spider solitaire?

This is why I like Doom and Doom II, you can just level skip to a level on Ultra Violence and just start blasting, It's good for a quick game compared to War Craft 2.

E1M5, E1M7 are also good levels to skip to on Ultra Violence and start blasting, Using respawn on Ultra Violence also makes it interesting for E1M5 and E1M7.

I know "The Scene" has 1K demo section, this 1,852 bytes could be interesting. An extra 852 bytes :)

>> I find it a sad thing that often great achievements and ruthlessness go hand in hand. “Hard times create strong men and strong men create good times” is a famous quote.

I wonder if this applies to computing where in the early days RAM and clock cycles were limited so programmers and engineers had to be more creative and do more for less, where now it's just buy another GB RAM stick for $50USD and try again.

I remember a youtube video with bwk (Brian Kernighan) and he was saying that when they were doing UNIX and computing in the 70s it was easy for them as they had all the low hanging fruit to pick where now you have to climb higher to get the fruit?

Which is why when people make it to mars it will thrive. No taxes, no debt and no government regulation. Just build, build, build baby. Hopefully 3D printing and materials science will have some cool tech in the future otherwise it could be a slow start.

> I'm 22 and often wish I had never been born into a world with social media, with the belief that it is one of the worst things we have ever made as a species.

Haha so that when you ring the girl's house her father would answer the phone and ask why you are calling his daughter.

I don't use social media except for this site, still need to get on the github.

But the RAM requirements were crazy, 8MB RAM in the late 80s which is understandable for what the machine the was offering.

Interface Builder is nice, I remember trying to develop GUIs on Amiga with intuition.library and wished that there was a drag and drop program to build the source code. Running NeXTSTEP 3.3 on Virtual Box and trying to get it running on my early 2000s laptop :)

What will they use for a source of graphite and graphene?

>... Infowars had a supplements business? Yeah check out an advert for CAVEMAN. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-ZqD9-W1_8 . I used to like Infowars 10+ years ago (I'm from New Zealand) when the site was a news aggregate site so you could read the sources. Now that it is him just talking I don't visit the site that often. I remember walking around in a small township in Norway (just under 10,000 people) and seeing a Infowars sticker on a road light. So yeah he used to have massive reach, I don't know if he still does.

> Is this not against the Ghidra EULA?

He's not trying to reverse engineer a serial or key file. It's being used for private use. He's not making $$$$ at SEGA's loss. It's not going to destroy SEGA's reputation.

and finally they are a hacker so the dopamine hit from being curious will be a big pay off.

>Today I think it is a profitable research area to look into manufacturing techniques that might let a colony of 15,000 martians be largely self-sufficient in that this research could pay off here on Earth.

I don't know how they will be able to manufacture CPUs on Mars, I'm guessing 8-bit CPUs will be more possible than modern day CPUs. I think even Motorola 68K will still require advanced manufacturing equipment to transport to manufacture.

I guess with close to 50 years of CPU design knowledge they would be able to design a decent 8-bit CPU with 16-bit address space. Maybe they would use first 512 bytes as a data/code cache to speed up certain calculations (trig functions) (Not a EE, studying Mechanical). Although there is a lot of code available for Z80, 6502, 8080 CPUs.

A laundry machine today could be a risky investment as you don't know how many years it will last. My old flat had a machine that broke down (It was less than 6 months old) and there was a known problem with the model which was to do with the input pad to set the settings. Luckily it was under warranty, but even still the stop was fighting hard to replace it :/ (I think it was fisher and paykel, they used to be good but they moved the manufacturing base from New Zealand to overseas).

New Zealander here. I hope that now with Trump in office that USA will go back to the moon in 2025-2028 :).

Hope more high income manufacturing jobs are created for the working class and they build a bigger middle class.

Intel outside. Motorola inside. Oh yeah it’s no longer early 90s

I wonder if this is the start of a new criminal market and if there are any heavies involved or the big players involved?

Any one know if any cheese is showing up on the dark nets?

It's not illegal, illegal so it should get through the post easily and use refrigeration transport and less hassle if you get pulled over by the cops.

Some countries like New Zealand are pretty strict with dairy imports so trying to get brunost from Norway...

Ahh the final question, is easy money better than enough money?

Lots and lots of money sounds better than easy money

Any one else remember going to the ATM machine with their Atari Portfolio to get some "Easy money" in the early 90s? ;D

> Any CPU from the last 10 years can handle Excel perfectly and JavaShit mostly fine.

Thank you for the new word :). TIL JavaShit

The Scandinavian demo scene called, they need new recruits...

If you have 10 y/o tech with todays code and algorithms, surely you could modify and improve 3G and get better speeds / quality? My iPhone 6S drops to 3G all the time.

As long as you cut all the bloat (i.e tracking code in html..).

At the end of the day it all depends on the person and their skill level using the tech.

If you want to play that game or the darknets game you may need to keep changing your alias which could be a problem as you will have to start from 0 again growing contacts and respect.

Do new groups and users have kick ass ASCII logos in their t-files these days? I’m glad the 90s era of incorrect capitalisation is gone.

Very inspiring, glad I woke up to watch it. Congratulations to the SpaceX team. This is what competition looks like. It’s funny how last decade SpaceX had to sue the government to get more launches.

> 3. Space is the last great frontier. We know so little about it, yet we could discover new sources of power, new materials, new life or even new homes. It is a quest for answers to the big questions we’ve all pondered. This mission requires a generation of intelligent dreamers and every rocket launch inspires a few more to contribute to the grand endeavor.

This point I like. I remember reading a post on here saying that SpaceX has normalized space landings that it is no longer exciting :).
