The ConsoleMods wiki[0] has a list of games that contain standard CD-DA tracks, which doesn't include any Tony Hawk Pro Skater releases (nor Crazy Taxi).

Those are USPS domestic stamp prices, an international stamp is currently $1.70.

While a domestic pen pal probably isn't uncommon, the programs I recall tended to match you with someone international.

It doesn't look like the source has been released, nor any documentation outside this blog post and presentation. Is there a plan to open this up past what is used by MayaNAS and Zettalane's cloud offerings?

> the 9 digit US Zip+4 format where the extra 4 digits narrow location down to a block, part of a block or even a specific building.

A US Zip+4 usually identifies a specific delivery point. In some places this can mean it can even identify specific units within a building.

I had the 2010 version of this model, with the same symptoms starting in mid 2011. I would get 5-8 crashes a day from the GPU being on the fritz.

Apple ended up replacing the mainboard in a free out-of-AppleCare repair. I never had the problem again and I used the machine regularly until about 2018.

A local cache of sums are also stored in (iirc) $GOCACHE, so even if you delete go.sum from the project, the local toolchain should still be able to verify module versions previously seen without needing to call out to the Sum DB.

While it's true I don't see that version of Plato's complete works (in fact, I don't see any Hackett Publishing books), the book on AI[1] is available.

And most of Europe, and the rest of the world, where the eBook is offered directly from Tor.

It looks like distribution in the UK, Australia and New Zealand (only?) is from the imprint Gollancz, who has decided to go with DRM versions.

If you want to be part of Kindle Unlimited you have to give worldwide exclusivity to Kindle Unlimited, and can't have ever published your eBook on another platform.

Even if I wanted to join, Kindle Unlimited is not offered here. I can't even buy the eBook from Amazon.

I've been thinking about this recently too, mostly to figure out how to preserve indexes in tracks of "Murmurs of Earth"[0]. I think the FLAC embedded cuesheets could be used for this. While intended for CD-ready cuesheets embedded into one big FLAC, there's no reason they couldn't be used in individual files, with index 00 for pregaps.

I'm not sure it's well supported anywhere however. Maybe foobar2000?

Edit: I pulled up the RFC[1] for FLAC, and it seems like this is a use case they had in mind for the embedded cuesheet:

> A cuesheet metadata block can be used either [...] or to provide a mechanism to store locations of interest within a FLAC file.

I recently repaired an Apple II that were stored in a binder in an environment that wasn't climate controlled (for ~35 years). The 5.25" floppies had all developed a layer of stickiness, but all but one read fine once I cleaned up the drives.

Yes, I only saw 3-pin XLR for DMX512, while being aware of 5-pin XLR as "correct". Everything from the lighting console, to dimmer packs and moving heads, to the aforementioned connection to house lights. This was 2009-2013. Maybe it was regional?

I was a lighting designer for several years and in that time in don't think I ever saw a proper 5-pin DMX512 connector. Even in venues with millions in house lights, the connection backstage to the house was XLR.

Depending on the year and day of the week it also involved a transfer at San Bruno.

Fortunately they've since reverted back to always running to Millbrae from the airport.

I remember the Zire 31 was marketed as an e-reader and came with "The Wizard of Oz" preloaded. I remember uploading "The Hacker Crackdown" to mine as it was available freely.

Many stations affiliated with the ABC network did, from 2001 to 2004, in primetime by airing "Saving Private Ryan" unedited for Veterans Day.

Case in point: the sign outside the fast food establishment might say "Macca's" instead of "McDonald's", but I know little has changed otherwise.

My understanding is that in theory EU Regulation 261/2004 applies to bookings leaving the EU through to the final destination, including domestic connections in a non-EU country. For example, a United flight from Amsterdam to Dallas via Chicago, where a delay in Chicago resulted in a 3 hour delay in arriving in Dallas.

In practice I've never gotten an airline to agree.

This seems to be true for the Apple App Store, but doesn't explain the lack of notorizing the update for Epic's own EU storefront.

I could not use my Google Voice number (that I've had since Grand Central) for most companies that only do SMS 2FA until it became my Google Fi number. Then I guess some flag got set in the database they check against.

It was my first time installing NetBSD, but it only took a few minutes. Some bits I felt were worded a bit strange, particularly around partitioning. It seemed like one page was using CHS while others used LBA.

In any case, X worked reasonably well; 31 fps in glxgears with llvmpipe. Still a bit too slow for something like alacritty, but at least using herbstluftwm wasn't painful.

I just reinstalled Gentoo this past weekend on an IBM ThinkPad with a Pentium 4/M and 256MiB of RAM, and even there it's probably "supported" not "Supported (green checkmark emoji)".

Most of Linux worked, to it's credit, though I needed to tweak libata for some IDE controller quirks presumably lost in the PATA driver transition in 2.6.20. VTs worked fine and KMSCON worked well, once I loaded the radeonfb driver in initrd.

Where it noticibly falls apart is trying to being up X11, as the driver stack in X11 and Mesa have bitrotten (and in Mesa's case, removed, and no one is looking at mesa-amber from what I understand). A lightweight tiling manager and urxvt was enough for it to crash the whole system.

It's great this is finally seeing some love! There seems to be some limitations in Firefox 138 that leaves it feeling like it's landed a bit short:

- Missing the context menu "Open in <profile>" on URLs or pages. There's often links I want to open in different profile, and I've missed this option from Chrome.

- Existing about:profile profiles aren't importable, other than the initial profile. It looks like adding other profiles manually to the "Profiles" table of the new sqlite database in the "Profile Groups" directory works to add it to the list, but it's still somewhat broken.

- Not documented how to open links from other applications in specific profiles. Passing the profile name (obtained from about:support) to "-P" no longer works, but passing the full path to the profile to "--profile" does. It would be nice to pass just the friendly profile name.

Hey, I'm KG8ORS. It's been aong time since I've sent a QSL card (and I've never received one), but it's where I first heard about IRCs.

I agree that UPU members are required to accept them. PostNL closed all of their post offices a few years ago in favor of contracting out to businesses, who may not be familiar with them.

It looks like Omniva (aka/fka Eesti Post) also ships worldwide and charges in Euro.

In my four years of US high school Spanish in South Florida, I don't recall a single time we read complete stories or newspaper articles. It was entirely grammar and vocabulary in isolation. When there was speaking exercises the teachers did not make an effort to have the native speakers speak with the non-native speakers.

The only thing close to what I'd now call "Compelling Comprehensive Input" that I recall is a single week where we watched a Friends-style miniseries about an English speaker moving to Spain.

You would not be surprised ik spreek geen spaans.

I am keeping an eye on SFC's lawsuit against Vizio[0].

If the goal is to be annoying, sure make sure folks can jump through hoops. I just don't think in 2025 a company legitimately intending to satisfy the GPL requirements needs anything to do with physical mail, since they'll provide it online.

I stopped putting in requests for source code offers because I've had a 0% success rate.

Why should the test process be sending physical letters (edit: in 2025)? Nothing in the GPLv2 requires a physical letter.

The address the OP sent a letter too has already been removed from the canonical version of the license (and was itself an unversioned change from the original address), and section 3 doesn't require a physical offer if the machine-readable source code is provided.

A few countries I'll be visiting this summer still sell International Reply Coupons. It might be interesting to pick some up and see how difficult it is to exchange them. Would a PostNL point even know what to do with one?

Yeah, I reached out to Dan a few months back. Unfortunately, didn't have a copy anymore (and they were awesome enough to even check backups, props!). At this point I'd be happy with just the headers, the ones from "0.2001061600-2.3" just a few months later seem different enough.

Not a blocker for what I'm working on, but more of an itch to track down the lost version.
