Exceed is still the only program that handles graphically intense Unix X11 sessions properly for Windows machines. It’s still not great though.

Some of us still have to slog through old CAD applications that have long been abandoned.

Inspection intervals are based on expectation of damage over time, not to verify if the installation procedure was properly followed.

Design requirements for airplane parts that experience rotation or are part of control systems are regulated to have locking features to prevent loose bolts from happening. If the initial installation was done improperly it could be a failure in quality control at Boeing. Or if they were installed properly but weren’t designed with sufficient locking mechanisms it may be an improper design. Either way this could turn into an Airworthiness Directive which is when the FAA steps in to ensure safety.

Prove it.

It’s more like educated guessing, which is a lot faster than brute forcing. They can use code to check the answers so there is ground truth to verify against. A few days of compute time for an answer to a previously unsolved math problem sounds a lot better than brute forcing.

Generate enough data for good guesses and bad guesses and you can train the thing to make better guesses.

Playing devil’s advocate here, but is it truly a public good to have as many works as possible accessible to the public?

What if misinformation outweighs real information in the aggregate?

I use it with Firefox. I’m not sure if it’s available for Chrome.

There are some uBlock Origin custom filters that bypass a lot of paywalls. The one I use is called Bypass Paywalls Clean.

That bothers you but the gay space communism on the technology community doesn’t?

I’m finally settling up a NAS and media server myself beyond just an old gaming computer. What do you use to setup caching on your nvme drives?

I went back and played (and beat) Super Metroid finally a few years ago. It was an amazing experience that I’m sorry I missed out on as a kid, but I don’t think I would have had the patience to beat it then. I ended up on a Metroid binge after that. Played the Samus Returns remake and Dread, and am currently playing the Prime remake. I think Metroid has been stuck in niche consoles for so long a lot of folks haven’t been exposed so I appreciate the remakes.

I missed NES games almost entirely. I was exposed to Super Mario (at friend’s houses for a few minutes at a time) and literally nothing else until decades later. I would have liked to have played the greats like Mega Man, Metroid, or Zelda.

I think I really would have liked to have played Zelda the most. I loved ALttP but imagine I would have loved the first one a lot too. It’s really hard to go back now when my experience of newer games sets my expectations. I still get frustrated today trying to navigate and survive when playing it.

I also completely missed out on Sega, but to this day I still don’t feel like I missed out on much.

I feel like I almost completely missed out on PC gaming from the late 80s to the early 2000s. I played a few mil-sim games from Novalogic and Jane’s but that was about it.

I wasn’t exposed to an FPS until half-life was a few years old. My first real gaming PC was built for Half-Life 2.

I totally missed Doom, Quake, Descent, Diablo, System Shock, Deus Ex, Wolfenstein, Fallout. I didn’t even know about Elder Scrolls, Myst, Riven, Maniac Mansion (or any of the other Lucasfilm or Tim Schafer games like it).

I did catch some lower spec games like Sim City, StarCraft, Worms, etc., But it seemed like none of them really caught my attention longer than a few hours. I was mostly interested in SNES and PS1 around that time I guess.

Love me some Darknet Diaries and Hacked.
