So I don't necessarily disagree with you but people way more rugged than we are and who didn't even knew what a paved road was decided to get rid of wolves a long time ago.

Moreover, what I observed is that urban professional class populations are usually way more in favor of wolves reintroduction than rural working class population.

Reminds me of Deepness in the Sky (Vernor Vinge) where a guy maintains a ship by doing software archeology. He is the only guy who knows what the Unix epoch is.

And personally, I prefer doing ./game, rather than having to install a bunch of stuff and see my system cluttered by hidden folders.

My recent experience shows that eSCL is way behind in terms of functionality. If I want lossless scanning from by Brother scanner, I need the proprietary drivers.

Does it mean that instead of depending on the Visa/Mastercard duopoly you now depend on the Google/Apple duopoly?

Yes but they are also a quick win to replace humans because they don't need accommodation or specific R&D. Any job by a human that has no been automated yet is because the ROI was too low to develop a specific robot and adapt the work environment for it.

The human is basically the standard API. A humanoid robot is a drop-in replacement implementation of this API.

After a few fixes, it builds on a debian-13. You just need to install a few dependencies (glew, SDL, curl).

The real problem here is the tooling. New versions of automake and C++ compilers are stricter than they used to be.

Indeed, for long term conservation, you need to vendor your dependencies AND your tools to make sure that the project is sustainable without intervention. But with the magic of LLMs now, this is not a problem anymore. Claude was able to fix it in less than 10 minutes.

And having the source code beats playing the original game. You can recompile in high def and make all the modifications you want to make it feel like a modern game (or not!) and sill get you your dose of nostalgia.

A remake, in video games, is usually a rewrite on a more powerful platform. You get better resolution, better music and event better gameplay.

A demake is a rewrite on a less powerful platform.

Note that they did not "publish" the picture. They shared it in a private group. This is 1984 kind of stuff. This will hurt Dubai's brand way more than any kinetic attack from Iran.

You can tweak the current Ghidra MCP to work in headless mode. It makes things much easier.

An interesting critique of the meritocracy/technocracy: The Rise of Meritocracy by Michael Young.

Written in the 50s it's prescient to what has been happening since.

> An 18 hour highspeed NYC to LA train would be amazing.

Often I think of the cut intro scene for "Escape From New York" where Snake robs some sort of bank and then escape in the inter state subway[0]. That future is grim but at least they got high speed long distance underground subways.

It was mandated because, in some cases, getting data from the patient is actually harmful. A CT scan is not benign. So to ensure that CT scans from manufacturer A could be read on a review station of manufacturer B, the DICOM standard was created.

But there is a real health element to it. Although I perfectly agree that standards are good for the consumer, the incentives here are not as strong.
