Technically true, but the list is mostly nonfunctional - cryptominers are basically extinct in the wild, and most of the domains on the list have expired or no longer serve mining …

Per personal communication, this is precisely why the developer did that.

> Theoretically Yes, as an ion-beam-mill and electron-microscope combination machine can slice up semiconductors layer-by-layer. You may not even need anything as fancy as that - m…

The original NMOS 6502 also used a lot of rather weird dynamic logic which can't easily be represented as standard digital logic elements. Some details here: http://www.aholme.co.u…

No, that's misleading. "Immediately available" means parts you already have in stock and can start populating without waiting for another supplier - it doesn't mean things that you…

The site is a personal blog. There's no expectation, explicit or implicit, that it be "professional".

It's still used in a couple of specific senses - it's used in the nearly fixed phrases "keen edge" or "keen mind" as a synonym for "sharp", and as "to be keen to -" to mean "eager"…

And cryptosporidium (a type of bacteria which causes diarrhea) is also often abbreviated as "crypto". Not that there's much risk of confusion in CVs, but it does lead to some amusi…

Definitely not. DOS had disk compression utilities, but not RAM - there was no reasonable way to accomplish that at the time. You may be thinking of "memory manager" utilities like…

Under "Display & Text Size": "on/off labels" and "increase contrast". "Reduce transparency" is a bit of a mixed bag but is worth trying out. Under "Audio & Visual", "background sou…

There's certainly demand for more data centers. Whether there's demand for the services those data centers would provide remains in question.

Laos is a fairly small country with 7.5m people, nestled in between Vietnam and Thailand. Their economy is primarily agricultural; there isn't a significant manufacturing sector. I…

With regards to the last bit, Apple hasn't shipped Java as part of the OS in ages.

> Cloudflare, for example, removed the ability to change the nameservers for all domains registered with them. Cloudflare never offered that ability. From the time they started off…

One of the more recent changes is that anyone can now enable a version of this functionality, even if they aren't set up with a child account. (It's under Settings > Messages > Sen…

There's actually been some work to reverse the original PhotoDNA hash, with much more precise results than for Apple's NeuralHash: https://www.hackerfactor.com/blog/index.php?archi…

The OUP link is AI slop. Here's a better link; the law in question was actually passed over a year ago. https://www.safefoodadvocacy.eu/amici-obesi-groundbreaking-o...

Once the patents expire, I expect to see H.264 become the JPEG of video codecs - it may not be the most efficient format available, but it's widely supported, relatively easy to en…

And photos of a furnished property give a better sense of the size of the space, and what can be done with it, than photos of empty rooms. (So long as the furnishings are sized rea…

There are software tools made specifically for staging (and de-staging!) real estate photos. I don't know if they're using off-the-shelf image models or not, but they have capabili…

> Same here (actually had a voyage 200, but same same I guess). Not the same, actually! Unlike the TI-83/84 series, the TI-89, -92, and Voyage-200 all used a 68000 CPU, with a comp…

"Congratulations! You've reinvented compilers, except slower, unpredictable, hopelessly proprietary, and you have to pay to use it." (Oh, and the "compiler" will also refuse to gen…
