I use Fossil for all of my personal projects. Having a wiki and bug tracker built-in is really nice, and I like the way repositories sync. It’s perfect for small teams that want everything, but don’t want to rely on a host like GitHub or set up complicated software themselves.

But I’m bi-testual

I have all of my important electronics (computers, entertainment center, network equipment) on CP1500PFCLCD. They’re scattered around the house, so there are multiple CP1500PFCLCD.

…then there’s a 22 kW gas generator that handles everything once it switches on.

Kagi’s verbatim search does this. You will actually get no results if nothing matches. It doesn’t change your search and give you something you didn’t ask for.

Quoting in a normal “All results” search works, too.

What the heck did you just say about storage, you little newbie? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in Computer Engineering, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on terrible cable management, and I have over 300 confirmed SSD installs. You’re complaining about space on your PC like it’s some sort of divine mystery? Listen up, sailor.

You’re whining about dropping $120 on BG3 and Starfield? You could get a 1TB SSD for as low as 35 bucks, you scallywag. Don’t even get me started on HDDs; a 1TB one is practically a steal at 22 dollars. And let’s go big or go home: 2TB HDD for 40-65 dollars, or if you’re feeling ritzy, a 2TB SSD at 60-90. Still less than your precious games, maggot.

You’re out of SATA ports? Son, have you heard of a PCIe SATA card? Load that baby up. You’ve got more slots on your motherboard than you have excuses. Talking about running out of space with a setup that should give you 2-4TB at least? Don’t make me laugh. You’re telling me you can’t find space for your precious BG3? That’s only 150GB, sailor, uninstall it if you’re so keen on playing Starfield.

And if you’ve hit the limits of both onboard SATA and PCIe, then I have one word for you: USB 3. Worst case, you get an external drive and run Starfield from there. Don’t act like your OS drive is the final frontier; there are many ways to expand your digital seas, you landlubber.

So before you cry about storage again, maybe do some basic math and stop acting like you’re navigating uncharted waters. Get another drive, or walk the plank.

Contrary to some misconceptions, these SIMD capabilities did not amount to the processor being “128-bit”, as neither the memory addresses nor the integers themselves were 128-bit, only the shared SIMD/integer registers. For comparison, 128-bit wide registers and SIMD instructions had been present in the 32-bit x86 architecture since 1999, with the introduction of SSE. However the internal data paths were 128bit wide, and its processors were capable of operating on 4x32bit quantities in parallel in single registers.

GPT-4 writes better code than the junior developers on my team. I wish they would use it as a rubber duck, at the least.

It often requires iteration and asking for certain things (logging, error handling, simplification/maintainability, etc.) but it gets there. I think it would eventually be possible to get AI at a place where it thinks about these things automatically instead of requiring prodding.

Still doesn’t replace people, but makes them more effective.

People might have to stand behind their opinions if they choose to voice them. The horror!

This is my favorite Star Trek episode, too. Ruined.
