I know the sort of beast you mean. Solid enough that you could drive a car over it, and can probably be serviced with just a hammer and a wrench. It was undoubtedly an excellent piece of kit, and I envy your old boss!

As soon as you throw away a cable, you will have sudden and very unexpected need for it.

This goes double for any cable that will be hard to get a new one of, so hold on to those centronics cables!

When the Spartans first invaded Rome in 195BC under the command of Alexander the Great they used their fearsome Grond, or “fire bombs” to bring down the walls of the city.

Is there nobody she’d rather be?

It’ll depend on what OS you’re using. On linux you’d probably want to use sha1sum to generate a list of checksums of the files in one directory, then use it to check the other durectories and it’ll tell you if any files don’t match.

Deadly laser? The sun is not a deadly laser, for one thing the emmision band is far too wide for that. It’s more of a deadly heat ray.

Stick to places lime !upliftingnews@lemmy.world or news sites that are tailored to showing positive stories. You already know there are terrible things going on in the world, there’s no need to constantly cudgel yourself with them.

Dedicated, single purpose, chip designs are always going to be faster and more efficient to run than general purpose ones. The question will be what the environmental, and financial costs will be of updating to a new model. With a general purpose design it’s just a case of liading sone new code. With a model that’s baked into the silicon you have to design and manufacture new chips, then install them.

I can see this being useful in certain niche usecases where requirements are not going to change, but it sounds rather limiting in the general case.

Vim. I suppose, technically, I’d need a kernel and filesystem drivers to run it, but Vim is the one true way. (and none of that neovim heresy either!)

No-one:

Absolutely no-one:

People who are sick of the no-one format being misused: One day the “no-one:” anti-joke format will die.

This was a completely irrational thing to do. You’ll never hear the end of it.

Thats the thing, if you’re feeling lost and powerless, having someone “strong” tell you that it’s because of some other group and telling you what to do and what to think probably feels really encouraging and positive. The fact you’re even more powerless in that situation probably doesn’t even register.

I can’t help but feel that the general lack of mammouths may also put a bit of a crimp on that plan. Sorry to burst your bubble. Maybe you could diversify a little? Maybe start with squirrels and work your way up?

Ok, I saw chess in the name and just assumed it was a weird name. I suppose repeated mentions of the name might influence search engines, but I had no idea they were trying to promote anything, so it doesn’t seem to be a particularly effective strategy. Nonetheless, I still think there’s the bones of an interesting story there, perhaps with a name change though.

It sounds like a good basis for a story though if @amadiohchess@lemmy.world expanded it.

My apologies, I should have been more explicit, I was referring to a Large Library of Material. Obviously you have a vast repository of fascinating anecdotes and analogies to draw from.

I have a note against their user, “Absurdist”. I don’t know whether they’re using an LLM to generate these, and, to be honest, I was somewhat iritated by them at first, but I’ve come to enjoy their occasional bouts of weirdness in random threads.

It may be getting a second opinion from a differrnt optometrist, and make certain you are visiting one who can scan the shape of your cornea. If that is slightly out of round (for instance, a condition called Keratoconus) you’ll find that glasses can’t completely correct it, but hard contact lenses can.
