that’s the “LRU cache”

I wonder if someone like the Czech guy who started a nixie tube factory a decade or two ago could pivot to artisanal CRTs for deep-pocketed retro-gaming enthusiasts.

On one hand, it sucks that in the Trump era, maintaining shareholder value involves not offending Nazis. OTOH, though, given how tedious the American Revolution one was, essentially running on rails with your character inserted into key episodes, the Civil War episode would have sucked. Presumably you’d have been riding shotgun with Harriett Tubman and/or General Sherman in a succession of semi-interactive cut scenes, repeating until you shot/stabbed enough confederate NPCs to be rewarded with possibly a short break of open-world exploring as a treat.

Most of them will probably go to Threads (because Zuck is a fact of life, like death and taxes, and already owns their Instagram connections) or to Xitter (better the devil you know, and all that). The fediverse is just too weird, between the multiple servers thing and the furries and preachy trekkies and weird customs like posting photos of flowers and not deadnaming people and stuff.

Teenagers should be piloting giant robots, not doing drugs and hooking up

You can make them modular, with telescoping rails, for portability. The blade needs to be weighted, but the weight can consist of a stack of weights, like on gym equipment. In fact, you could probably repurpose a bench press machine into a guillotine with a few minor modifications.

I’m guessing whoever’s space you’re paying to recline into doesn’t see a penny of that, let alone get to veto it.

Unfortunately, so is fascism

“Who do you think you are, the Chinese Communist Party?”

One example: the early-80s arcade game Elevator Action, in which you play a secret agent who abseils to the top floor of an enemy building and has to grab secret files and make his way down to a getaway car on the ground floor. Well, that’s how it’s described. In reality, you’re a spree shooter rampaging through an office.

Are they talking about her physically modelled breasts?

Also, you don’t want to know what she thinks of trans people

Do they still have the chunky old process nodes that can make such chips? Some vintage chips there is modest demand for (such as ASICs from cherished vintage computers; think the SID chip, for example) cannot be economically revived as there are no more facilities to fab chips of those long-obsolete technologies. (And even the trickle of 6502s being made are a later CMOS redesign rather than the original design.)

File system developers would like a word

Apparently, for a time, it was the done thing for fashionable ladies to drink vinegar to give themselves that lustrous consumptive pallor.

A pizza you can make in a toaster oven

And just like that, all the apes, funged.

If you don’t ask, they default to Autechre

On a large scale, doomed (see also: the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement.

On a personal scale, not having children is a perfectly legitimate choice.

Someone should make a client or helper application for it and name it Sammich (with a sandwich as the logo, of course).
