  • The old horsehair types are pretty decent though not precision meters. The numbers will be completely off unless calibrated, but you can make multiple meters agree. Either way, you can see which days they take a massive dive.

    Much the same as those bimetallic thermometers.

  • My thoughts would be that she'll not make it through the night in any case. Having another cause of death waiting in the future doesn't mean the earlier ones aren't as effective as without. That's not how death works.

    (And, actually, if she did somehow survive, the son caused her a guaranteed death date later.)

    But of course it's magic, so all bets are off unless you know exactly what the rules are and how to lawyer it.

  • Finally. It should have been called 1.0 when hello world compiled. We'd have 2.0 now without the fully functional zero point bs versions.

    Hopefully it'll landed in Debian and Nixos soon.

  • OrangePi has shared purchase links for both AliExpress and Amazon, though only AliExpress currently has the board in stock. The OrangePi 4A is priced at $35.00 for the 2GB RAM model and $40.00 for the 4GB RAM variant.

    Links in the article. The 4 GB was 50€ instead, but at least the ballpark is that way.

  • What I noticed right away was: It's the ugliest hello world ever. It's the slowest hello world ever. (For a long time it was also the record size hello world at something like 64MB, but that's later and on a compiler.) And it doesn't actually run on any platform except one: jre. And most binaries you find only run on one version of that one brand of jre.

    Still, not the worst thing for writing web services in in late 90s. Doesn't matter how slow it starts or how much space it takes. Responding to requests, being familiar to new programmers and living in a sandbox was enough.

  • When they make the bread worse and raise prices to increase their profit margin. And show some ads to make extra profit. And start to pester you with more service tiers and subscriptions before they give you the bread because they'll be able to scam some people into giving them another revenue stream...

  • Internet archive has been seriously endangered for a long time now. They were even attacked a while ago. The wayback machine is still not fully functional.

    It's one of the greatest existing libraries of information and culture in existence. Consider donating, if you can.

  • I remember a story and pictures where there was a party of some sort and at some point during the night people decided to go get food. Maybe the handiest place was a drive through our maybe it was just one of those ideas, but a fairly considerable number decided to go walk to the nearby drive through. There was a picture of them, in a long single file lined up along the lane.
