I did a multilingual display with an 8031 in 1995 on a 2x16 text LCD. I had 128 bytes of RAM and an EPROM. Did English, Spanish and German.
You kids have it so easy nowadays. 🤣
The 8-bit Intel 8051 family provides a dedicated bit-addressable memory space (addresses 20h-2Fh in internal RAM), giving 128 directly addressable bits. Used them for years. I’d imagine many microcontrollers have bit-width variables.
bit myFlag = 0;
Or even return from a function:
bit isValidInput(unsigned char input) { // Returns true (1) if input is valid, false (0) otherwise return (input >= '0' && input <= '9'); }
If you dig you can find this on Amazon. I’ve been buying from Amazon since 1995 and the last time I looked my purchases were somewhere around $260,000. And that was before covid.
Trump announces “Things aren’t expensive enough.”
That was my reaction exactly. “Good. Fuck us.”
Honestly, no. You don’t need any sort of Facebook replacement.
About two months ago I upgraded from 3090 to 4090. On my 1440p I basically couldn’t tell. I play mostly MMOs and ARPGs.
I hate when companies inconvenience me while trying to disrupt a near-monopoly by my benign benefactors.
Islay Scotland has burned a shitton of peat over the last couple of centuries to make malt whisky and it’s very small. Wonder how much if their elevation they’ve burned?
Anyone who uses this should be considering switching to Linux though.
I was just reminding you that many of us have jobs or software tools that preclude us from using Linux day-to-day regardless of how much we might like the idea. Having a more comfortable windows experience has value to us.
I’m locked on windows because of very expensive embedded systems dev tools. Give people some credit for having considered linux; not everyone can switch.
I’d love to switch to linux but it just doesn’t make sense for me.
I’m an embedded systems developer and my proprietary toolchain is windows only. Additionally I use several Adobe product routinely (illustrator, photoshop, premier).
Sucks.
I prefer it the way it is. The hot and cold Olympics.
As Doctorow points out, ‘Saying security and privacy don’t matter because you have nothing to hide is like saying freedom of speech doesn’t mater because you have nothing to say.’
It’s a very short-sighted view. Those rights will be taken from you if you don’t protect them.
Every kernel update (and there are tons) requires me to rebuild my third party modules, but you need to do it in a toolbox and the kernel headers version must match the running kernel version, which is actually more annoying than it sounds.
Boy, I doubt that.
My Windows 11 machine doesn’t require any of that.
I’m using kagi as well and have been very pleased with it.
You’re right of course, but in a broader sense there is literally no action that anyone takes that is altruistic. We only do things that benefit us or, rarely, our group as a whole.
No, that’s wrong.
The “less than” vs “fewer than” rule isn’t about whether you know the exact number - it’s about countable vs uncountable nouns.
Video game copies are countable, so it’s traditionally “fewer than 1,000 units” regardless of whether you know the precise number sold.
That said, it’s been misused so much that it’s become more flexible, and “less than” with numbers is widely accepted now.
Don’t take my word for it, Google it.
