Unironically which of the above have aged well and are relevant to modern programming/compooters? Looking for stuff that more so explained the concepts behind how stuff works that you didn’t consider/fully understand more so than specific language tutorials
https://github.com/papers-we-love/papers-we-love has a huge list.It would be cool to have reading discussion threads. I would not be able to contribute much, but I would enjoy reading them. I have enjoyed out of the tar pit, profiling programming language learning, and notation as a tool of thought recently.

Pic rel has been a fun. Almost forgot DBs existed.
Everyone should know what their industry is based upon.
What would it take to manufacture CRTs on a commercial scale again in 2026 and the years to come?Would it be more viable to buy existing IP/patent rights from the companies that used to be the leaders back in the day, or to re-develop the technology from scratch using modern means?
>>107607413Interesting. Yeah generational knowledge is a big fucking thing often not understood how big its role is.This is why techs like nuclear power lagged for decades because faggot leftists got people convinced how "dangerous" it is and then the public opinion was against it so new nuclear plants didnt get built except in France and Russia so everywhere else people didnt educate themselves to be nuclear scientists so the whole field atrophied programs in universities shut down, old nuke scientists retire without having passing their knowledge to the new generation and now we are in a situation where the public realized that leftists were being unscientific, hysteric faggots not basing their opinions in facts like always, so now when the realization has set that we need more nuclear power and we need it yesterday the expertise only exists in France, Russia, USA and China and nowhere else, and the tech is stagnating decades behind what it could bePlus its extremely expensive to build because the lack of educated people on it and lot of the shit needed to be re-learnt when building new sites today
>>107607724>Polaroid film coming back was really impressive though.I wish someone would make that peel apart instant film again. I have a cool Polaroid I got from a thrift store that takes it. Makes me think of the end scene in the Coneheads.
>>107603053I think you just need a billionaire autist who's passionate about CRTs to put a few billion into R&D to get a manufactory going again. We already know that people are willing to spend over $1000 on niche display technology (premium VR headsets like the Bigscreen Beyond), and nearly just as much on niche adapters (Retrotink 4k and other associated accessories), so asking for a premium for a modern CRT would be understandable.
>>107607799I think I saw a different video than that one, but yes, very similar construction.>>107607806Amazingly, I've seen that DIY'd:https://www.instructables.com/Making-instant-film-at-home-polaroid-55-/
>>107607856The vast majority of billionaires are soulless unfortunately. Only in incredibly rare circumstances does a human being with any redeemable qualities acquire great wealth.
is it actually possible to see the difference? or is it just contrarians?
>>107593866It’s not like VLC has a pretty UI, and mpv is much more configurable. I have scripts to take screencaps saved to folders with the name of the file being played, and I’m not even a power user but it lets me think of some functionality and there’s almost always some way to do it
>>107607882is this some kind of no-i-frame demonstration
VLC has a issue where it takes a minute to load.
>>107595221bottom is better. top looks like a cartoon.
iPhone FoldThe iPhone Fold's inner folding screen measures 7.76" diagonally and has a resolution of 2713x1920. The cover display is 5.49" and has 1422x2088 resolution, for a very unusual aspect ratio. The iPhone Fold measures 120.6 x 83.8 x 9.6 mm when folded, and 120.6 x 167.6 x 4.8 mm when unfolded.
well, so long as it's the most expensive model it will be a success Hopefully apple has learned people only want the most expensive iphone all the other stuff is meaningless
>>107602878>iphones are wide now Blackberry won
>>107605838This shit was futuristic
>>107602878so, literally pixel fold
>>107603966It's the same ratio as classic A-series paper.That has to be on purpose.

Post your complaints here.“And the user wailed in the land of Mint and Libre, for their hands longed for Windows and Office, and every click was sorrow.” — Techlament 3:16

Did you even know about it?
>>107606056>110msWouldn't anyone on Starlink have a similar level of latency? And traditional satallite even longer?
>>107606056the punchline was pretty good
>>107606056>I do not understand basic networking at all the postfuck I hate this fucking world so much.
>>107606056Does this actually make any sense? 110ms latency is really low.I'm in EU and whenever I see Chinese players they have 150+ ms latency. I doubt even California is that close to Beijing or Pyongyang or whatever the fuck else.200ms latency would be more appropriate.Of course this is a fake article.
>>107606056Rage-inducing AIslop writingAlso the latency wouldn't be the issue, the issue would be every keystroke having exactly the same latency. I guess you could set up AHK to buffer your keystrokes if you ever wanted to get fired and sue them for millions
Do racist, anti trans, alt right and MAGA actually contribute to FOSS in a valuable way, or do they just shitpost about how much they despise the deemed outgroups (trans, Indians, blacks)?ITT Show evidence of quality chud software. All you have is that one x11 fork because my fork of GEGL is no longer used for hate
>>107607648>If anyone admitted any of these things publicly he would be ousted, and his career destroyed.This is the truth of things.So naturally those that hold those views trying to make it in these kind of industry sectors keep it quiet or at most play along. The same thing goes for any industry involving creativity.This has created the illusion that "chuds" (whatever that means at this point) don't make anything. The reality is that they do and the smart ones keep quiet and/or pay lip service when they have to.

had a vertical one and was the best mouse ever. did not like the 2 buttons on the side, I cannot imagine having bindings for 12 of them.but i guess they're useful in mmorpgs?

>>107607391actually wait i remember a couple of months back there was somethign with docker allowing code execution outside of the namespace. i imagine it was patched though.mostly just closing the tab on the browser deletes the namespace/cgroup entirely.

What are you maids working on?Last thread: >>107542891
>>107607338By making that argument, you assume that the author/defendant knows what a bytecode VM/compiler is.The GNU/Linux Operating system supports x86/arm assembly, which both are fed into a bytecode interpreter, which is called a CPU.Unfortunately for the average Python programmer, the CPU is bad at parsing code that involves text. Therefore, a JIT compiler is required, which forces hot & spicy code down a compilation engine, which takes 52 business days to complete, because the overhead to parse strange text is too much for a retarded CPU to handle.Therefore, a VM is introduced, which may or may not reduce this complexity, while also making hot & spicy code fresh and ready to eat for every CPU under a hot and sunny day.
#ifdef DEBUG#define $D(normal, debug) (debug)#else#define $D(normal, debug) (normal)#endif
>>107607418What you are you talking about retard? This is not making any more fucking sense that this retarded post >>107607207.
>>107607746Ahh, yes.The CPU is extremely retarded. Therefore, it requires a virtual ISA targeting a VM (which is also retarded).The retarded VM does a retardmaxxing switcheroo between VM bytecode, and CPU bytecode.This is so that the retarded CPU can interpret the retarded VM's bytecode, which was compiled by some retarded C compiler, which was compiled from some other retarded compiler from some other retarded language, which was compiled from some other bytecode, which was once retarded Python code, which some retarded programmer (like myself) thought was actually a non-retarded piece of genius code that would win the Nobel prize, and land me a retarded big tech job where I could build space ships and not be fucking retarded for once.Refined retard-maxing to its finest.
>>107607803Dunno who he is, I saw your point on using the C compiler to have a VM and have the bytecode be language and arch agnostic so by generating compiler 0 bytecode with OCaml you are done forever and can self host as you don't lose the bytecode or the VM.So the Java, Python, SBCL approach.Maybe it's for the best, maybe not, I wouldn't know if the complexity of targeting C would exceed the complexity of targeting the VM and maintaining its C. So I can't really comment.
