I am trying to think of an example, declarative constraints are usually the domain of a graphical cad system(like solvespace). but I suspect it would look like a set of relationships you can enter in any order and it solves for the missing one. so... prolog? has there ever been a cad system in prolog?

But isn't linux US tech? The blueprint, UNIX was a US project, torvolds works from the US. the original userland GNU was a US based project. The new userland systemd is a US based project.

This is why DoH makes me nervous. Once the embedded ad engines(cough smart tv's) figure it out, we will no longer be able to mitm our dns services. Or to put it more plainly pi-hole will stop working. An open question, Any good way to block DoH? Or are heuristics the only answer?

An unenforceable option would be to set up an independent youtube frontend. https://invidious.io/

My opinion on shorts is a little more generous, sure they are generally brain-cell destroying bottom of the barrel clickbait nonsense. But that can also be said about most of the rest of youtube. What I hate specifically is the shorts doom-scrolling interface. It turns out a "short" can still be viewed on the normal interface. So I use a browser extension to turn shorts urls into normal urls.

My personal favorite sgi from the mid 90's was the o2. It had a unified memory model so it was the slow red headed step child of the sgi ecosystem. But because of that unified memory you could effectively pack it with close to a gigabyte of texture memory, whatever the OS and app did not need. This was an obscene amount in 1996. For comparison the top of the line sgi desktop system at the time had 8 mb of texture memory. It does not hurt that the o2 was probably the best designed and engineered computer I have ever seen.

The amount of care they put into the little quality of life ui stuff is impressive. Something about how you can tell when the developers enjoy playing their game.

But really, if I ever see a really good video I will download it. I try not to be too much of a digital horder, so it has to be really good. But their search has failed me enough times that it is worth it.

Actually... on that note I realized have never tried lotus improv.

I found a copy of the win3.1 version here. https://archive.org/details/lotus-improv-2.0-for-windows-2.0...

But my plan is to go for the full nerd experiance and see if I can get the nextstep version to work. https://winworldpc.com/download/7c521434-e280-a0e2-82ac-11c3...

Which will require a NeXT machine emulator https://previous.nextcommunity.net/

Wish me luck.

And for free, a rant, I think this is why Microsoft's registry is so bad. On paper it sounds great "a single place to put all your config" I could totally sell it. But in practice it is miserable to use. When proposed nobody said "we already have a hierarchical namespace where all our config can go and it already has pretty great tooling, lets just make it better" so they invented a custom one that required custom special access patterns and custom special tooling and custom special api's, and... it sort of sucks to use. I guess in their defense they were not fully onboard the idea that you could have one tree(they liked their many trees A: B: C:)

A important word doing a lot of lifting here is "doing". talk is cheap, the problem is never lack of ideas.

Everybody sort of knows it sucks as a formatting language. But we love it anyway. The benefit of being able to get a typeset document from a nice looking plaintext document is just too convenient. It is why specialized markdown editors make no sense to me. Why would you target something as shitty as markdown if you have a specialized editor? But really, if you at all care about the semantics of your document don't write it in markdown. But more importantly please don't kill the utility of markdown by adding semantics to it, all that noise just make the plain text look bad.

    with thing_key as (
    insert into item(key, description) values('thing', 'a thing') on conflict do nothing )

    insert into user_note(uid, key, note) values (123, 'thing', 'I like this thing') on conflict (uid, thing) do update set note = 'I like this thing');

IMAP probably not so much, It depends too much on having a good network. unless the imap server is on the spaceship(heh, spaceSHIP, that is an optimistic term, but it is all we have, so going with it), I would not expect it to work all that well.

I am not very familiar with outlooks game, Historically my beef with with it and thunderbird was their local data store, I mean it was not strictly speaking bad, but I was like "we have this great Maildir spec, why are you using this propriety database that is prone to corruption, even if you don't like Maildir million files approach at least use sqlite"

But the point is that is the address you would put in dns if you also wanted to use slaac. Most of the time however you will just set a manual address. And this was with obsd, where when slaac is setup you get the slaac address and a temporary address. I don't really know what linux does. Might have to try now.

So it is as low res as it is because it is a bunch of voxels simulating a 4d camera.

The dev put out an interesting video on the topic.

http://www.whence.com/minimodem/

The sensor to see a 3d scene is 2d(eye or camera). What is being done here is simulating a 3d sensor(for a 4d world) then we are looking at this 3d sensor using our 2d sensors (eyes). I don't know if this is the common way of rendering these 4d physics simulations. But it is the first I have heard it described this way. It is also why the narrative of the game focuses on eyes, because that is what it is doing.
