I calculated it long ago but I can't find the original notes. It can be extrapolated from the default 74 ticks a day (and the distance represented by 1 tile) to ((33 ticks per cpu …

> Separating locomotives from trains next? Someone wrote a patch for version 8 or 9 years ago which enabled coupling and decoupling, although one needed to set it up in a specific …

I made version 12.2 my programming hobby project. First time I tackled it years ago was to have it run at real time instead of the default fast pace (even with the day length patch…

I already have the NS Flex free weekend subscription (with 1st class addition) and it's the only way for me to travel longer distances. It's also just about the only available publ…

Just about obligatory mention of Pale Moon here. Have had a relatively clean internet experience for years with the old Firefox uBlock extension in combination with eMatrix. *Inclu…

Why not (uint8_t) ( float * (256/255) ) * 255?

I've been an audiophile for a few years during early twenties because it was fun to check out new and used equipment every weekend in the store I frequented, listened to various gr…

4chan doesn't need age checks, everyone knows there are only five year olds on it. :-p

That was the whole point of me drinking in the evening, to decline my cognitivity of the idiotic world I had to deal with during the day. Unfortunately it doesn't work as well nowa…

Religion is just one of the excuses/covers used to grab more power and/or shiny baubles by psychopatic people. And there are the ones who just want to see others suffer no matter w…

Thanks!

True. Seems self-preservation is strong in our genes and can manifest in strong greed or prefering to avoid (direct) conflict with the greedy. Humans are not always social creature…

I don't worry about decisions. Once they're made, they're made and life continues unless there's a good reason and possibilty later to change it. I just like to know where the worl…

Hopefully, clearing of my browser cache. :-) When I felt my conscious fading away from a heart attack two years ago, I thought "Ah, I guess I die now. Too bad I can't tell my frien…

Government needs to be for all the people, and not just for the 1% with wealth and power. Not more or less.

Until you try to add / modify a feature of the software and run into confusing template or operator or other C++ specific errors and need to deconstruct a larger part of the code t…

I think zswap is the better option because it's not a fixed RAM storage, it merely compresses pages in RAM up to a variable limit and then writes to swap space when needed, which i…

Speaking of SimAnt, I soon discovered the bug that by moving into the top corner, the black ants would conquer all squares with no intervention from that one sideways and downwards…

Define sane.

Well, thanks for cutting another one and a half hours from my already too short period of sleep at night and making me waste more time tomorrow at looking up more stand up shows fr…

The point is they don't want their job spreading fantasies to be taken away, just like every other entertainer. ;-)

That's one of the things I like about C, the independence in how one can write code. I was able to develop my own style thanks to that, visualising the structure of the code to dis…

I noticed I'd feel sleepy after more than half an hour in the server room. Likely the fan noise but the lower temperature might influence it as well. Unfortunately too expensive an…
