Much later, the HX DOS Extender (https://www.japheth.de/HX.html) had something vaguely similar called Win32 emulation mode. Meaning that you could load a Win32 PE image, and it could call quite a few Win32 APIs, all while running under plain DOS (in 32-bit flat mode), with HX DOS providing the implementation.
It had just enough parts of the API implemented to be able to run Quake 2 in DOS.
”Win32s lacked a number of Windows NT functions, including multi-threading, asynchronous I/O, newer serial port functions and many GDI extensions. This generally limited it to "Win32s applications" which were specifically designed for the Win32s platform,[4] although some standard Win32 programs would work correctly”
It was a strange time back then for anyone who wanted to get online. Win3.1 had no TCP/IP stack so many folks used a third party download called Trumpet Winsock. IIRC you might have needed win32s in order to use it.
Looking back, Microsoft were clearly in an incredibly complicated transitioning phase, with very little margin for error (no patching over the Internet!)
Trumpet Winsock works on a 286, but apparently NCSA Mosaic version 2.0 needed Win32s.
So I guess there would have been a time in 1994 where many people were forced to retire their 286es. Though Mosaic was quickly replaced by Netscape Navigator in late 1994 which worked on Win16.
And then Windows 95 came along, and it really needed a 486 with 4MB of ram, ideally 8MB.
Availability :) a RTG requires Plutonium 238, which needs to ne created almost on purpose in a nucleare reactor. Not all nations have this ability or they are running such expensive programs. Also in the USA they are reserved for programs where there is very little light available
I already was someone else actually. Many times over and over again. He is not the inventor of social media. His site (or acquiring Instagram) was just another tool someone else already created in the past. His stuff was just more popular. China and Russia have their own versions too. If his stuff shuts down now, tomorrow someone else will create similar ones and fill the void in no time.
A german philosopher once said, that is a stupid response to renounce responsibility, at this moment someone in Berlin rapes a woman, if I don’t do it …
But what specific behaviour? I went and looked at his last couple days of X posts before posting my second comment and I see a lot of things posted. I see lots of blunt language and opinions that "lefties" would not like but are not mental illness. They were said in a blunt format that hints at some autistic/ADHD traits, but almost certainly not enough for anywhere near an actual diagnosis. So tieing this all back around, saying things you don't like and/or in a way you don't like about issues you feel strongly on does not a mental illness make and I'm extremely tired of this trend to claim that. It's the kinder (so far), gentler (so far) version of othering so that one does not need to think of someone as a human being as one does horrible things to them that is pretty common throughout human history.
He self-sabotaged himself and employees of Twitter by telling advertisers to fuck themselves like a flustered thirteen year old. He has a very obvious personality disorder around rejection and not being seen as the smartest person in a room. He said he knew more about manufacturing than anyone in the world. He’s not just a megalomaniac, he’s unable to perceive reality. He lies over and over about his businesses and about his political ambitions. He is erratic, capricious, and vindictive. Something is clearly not right.
Oh yes, I could mot agree more. We moved from Antora/asciidoc to mkdocs/markdown. Overall the situation improved (better HTML, faster builds, syntax highlighting of code,...) but I miss how good writing in asciidoc was
Note that the game needs 1MB chip, and thus needs an ECS (1MB chip capable) Agnus. Most Rev5 and afaik all Rev6 A500 have it. Sysinfo and/or whatamiga can identify it.
You don’t have to. I worked on data analysis (mostly cleaning and correction) for CMS (one of the two main experiments at LHC) for a while and didn’t have to touch it. Disclaimer: I was a high energy theorist, but did the aforementioned experimental work early in my PhD for funding.
I mean, most of the researchers I know at least use PyRoot (or the Julia equivalent) as much as possible, rather than actually interacting with Root itself. Which probably saves their sanity...
I did my master and PhD around the time numpy/scipy got competitive for a lot of analysis (for me a complete replacement) but the Python binding for root weren't there or in beta. Root-the-data+format remained however the main output of Geant4, so I set up a tiny Python wrapper around a root script that would dump any .root contents and load it up in a numpy file.
Despite the similar name, in Delft they were not looking at fundamental particles, but at quasiparticles in a solid state system. So, similar equations, but completly different physics
