> Heck written Latin didn't even have punctuation marks, not even spaces.

Without spaces, Japanese could never develop a great civilization. Pfff

> If you doubt the thesis, consider the extreme examples of Musk and Trump. they have infinite wealth and power and are demonstrably, publicly miserable.

Trump/Musk without money would be more miserable I surmise.

Still using the AVP but not exclusively, about 3 hours a day, with a hardware Bluetooth keyboard.

Mostly multiple safari windows opening on servers via webterm, cli and emacs.

It’s especially great when traveling.

Only problem, I cannot share a window when presenting…

I am spending about three hours a day using my AVP. Not getting headaches or anything like that. I don’t have a suitable MacBook or Mac mini so no virtual display. For development work, I use webterm (webified ghostty) via Safari to connect to servers. Then it is emacs all the way. It’s a real treat and I can use it anywhere.

I could hold the whole 6502 instruction set (and their cycles) in my mind while programming, it was that simple.

I acquired a Z-80 softcard for my Apple ][ (for trying out CPM) and was flabbergasted by the expanded register set, the complexity of some instructions (e.g. DJNZ) and the fact it ran at 4MHz vs 1MHz for the 6502 (got a speed demon 65C02 card later). However I couldn't keep all instructions and timings in my head. Speedwise the 1MHz 6502 and 4MHz Z80 were on par. I preferred, however, the fact that I/O was memory mapped on the 6502.

Hollande? Exemption for capital gains on investment property pushed from 15 to 30 years retention. Repelled sarkozys state financing tuition for French schools abroad. Many other examples that no self respecting right wing politician would promulgate. Hollande was (is) socialist.

> It's 3 different right-wing administrations (Sarkozy, Hollande, Macron)

So now socialists are right wing? Who isn’t then? Kim Jong Un maybe?

It is necessary to have a control group, just as in trials for new drugs.

Takeover of half of Papua New Guinea, now called irian Jaya. Transmigration, that is, moving Java people there and to Borneo (Kalimantan)in order to flood local populations with Malays.

But this did not make the news that much. Not that interesting I guess…

In the 75 years of their existence it seems like they suck at expansion.

They should take a page from Indonesia’s book for example. Or turkey.

Iga Swiatek (the tennis player) was denied entry in the player area for her own match. Situation was quickly resolved.

I doubt VIPs go through the same entrance, lines and checks as regular folks.

Yes that older dude should have been treated as VIP.

My dad never learnt how to use our VCR. When VCRs went the way of the dodo, he felt vindicated.

Same with the DVD player.

Now, at 94, he’s on Netflix, no problem.

He has a flip phone.

For example, multicore OCaml is not free of race conditions. The GC, while super efficient (pauses are in the milliseconds), is not suitable for hard realtime.

Still, where absolute max performance or realtime are not required, I'd choose OCaml as it is elegant & a pleasure to code in (personal opinion, ymmv).

How do they get worse if you spin? It’s still 1/6 odds of dying,iid events.

I’d rather fly in an airplane with a system coded in Ada/Spark rather than Python ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I will give it a spin on my Apple Vision Pro. Have been trying ttyd, which could really be great as is it browser based and hence I can have as many windows as I want, but a safari bug on iOS/ipados/visionos is a showstopper: specifically, safari sends keycode 13 events (enter key) when pressing ctrl-c on a hardware keyboard. So emacs, interrupting fg processes etc are problematic.

I’ll submit a pr to xterm.js for a workaround.
