I was wondering what instruction set architecture the megadrive was using and came across this great article on the Motorolla 68000 and megadrive: https://www.copetti.org/writings/consoles/mega-drive-genesis...
If you have wired I just found out you can get a $30 wireless dongle for this these days. Available for both CarPlay and Android Auto. Meant to work pretty flawlessly although mine is the mail so I haven't tested it out yet.
It's not entirely, because Github simply does not support inter-version diffs when you have multiple commits. If you force push onto multiple commits there is no way to show a diff between version 2 and version 3 of those commits. How Github lacks such basic (and imo necessary) functionality in 2025 is amazing to me.
Something like linked and dependent PRs in a chain would go someway to replicating Gerrit but again this basic functionality is not available out of the box for whatever reason.
Something like Gerrit. Instead of carefully crafting a logical series of patches that are all well documented with commit messages, PRs are just garbage filled diff soup of "fix typo" commits. I hate it. It's hard to review and seems to be based on putting the least amount of effort into proposing changes to the code. See https://gist.github.com/thoughtpolice/9c45287550a56b2047c631...
Migrating to Obsidian looks to be very easy now: https://help.obsidian.md/import/evernote
When I converted many years ago it required 3rd party tools and was slightly more involved (but still totally worth it).
Presumably they were using a decompiler e.g. IDA Pro to know what characters to change in the hex editor? I've done that before to find offsets in the binary to NOP out some function calls.
5% at 70 mph is 3.5 mph
10% at 30 mph is 3 mph
I saw this with various European cars.
My experience is that it seems to be a fixed percentage rather than a fixed amount i.e. the absolute difference increases with speed.
It's not a rumour. They usually read somewhere between 5-10% over actual speed. Use a more accurate GPS speedometer on your phone to check that.
For sure. $1000 Herman Miller Aeron has been worth every penny considering the time spent sat on it.
Just use gettimeofday/clock_gettime via vDSO.
struct timespec ts;
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &ts);
I agree.
Seems like the first step should be understanding that you CAN have control over it, even if you don't currently; and that you have the agency and strength to do that without appeal to some higher power.
The admitting you have no control sounds fatalistic to me and robs you of agency/responsibility. Then you're reliant on some externality or higher power instead of finding it within yourself.
Even those who go for the higher power are ultimately doing it themselves, they've just kidded themselves something else is involved, and if that helps you find that you can have some control over it, then great, I guess?
Not to mention Meta is ad tech so these will be full to the brim of tracking and adverts to recoup R+D costs.
I'm yet to be convinced these are useful and not just another way to inject ads directly into eyeballs.
This column had some good insight: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2024-09-12/banker...
Last time I tried to report a fake product to Amazon it's literally impossible. It simply isn't one of the pre-determined options available through customer service, either the self service chat or to the advisers. The closest thing and what the advisers select would be "item not as described" which might be somewhat correct, but hides the problem to whatever reports get generated for management. Hard to believe that isn't intentional.
Actually with vaping it becomes pretty easy to quit. You just taper down the nicotine slowly until you're on nothing and eventually you just kind of stop because you don't feel the need to do it anymore.

News to me as well
There is PhotoGIMP[1] that copies the hotkeys and tool layout. It doesn't replicate behaviour exactly obviously but it does make it actually usable for me as someone who used Photoshop a lot in the past, and was eternally confused by GIMP.
What country is that? That's a lot. At least in the UK if you don't watch regular TV you don't have to pay the licence fee (£159/year).
There are modern alternatives to many of the classic utils e.g. `fd` for find, with better CLI args and other improvements
ripgrep for grep also comes to mind
Where's the list that show all car brands? Doesn't seem to be easily found on that page or any of the linked ones.
This is what I want from a new search engine:
1. Respect exact match searches - this used to work enclosing the search terms in "" quotes, but no longer works. If there are no exact match results, return nothing.
2. Allow blacklisting or removing results from certain websites entirely e.g. I want to be able to configure geeks4geeks to never show up in any results ever
If someone could make this new search engine they would have a good shot at replacing Google :)
They also do not have an option to report an item they sent as counterfeit/fake which is amusing given how prevalent it is with their mixed bins between 3rd party items and legitimate goods.
The closest related option is "not as described" or something like that.
Even if you contact support chat that is the only option available to the advisers too.
So it's actually impossible to report something as counterfeit.
I always imagine some C-level exec looking at the stats and congratulating themselves on having no counterfeit items reported. Well done Bob! We did it again.
Haha yes. I would spend months looking through that catalogue in the lead up to Christmas, comparing and cross checking items and descriptions and cost. I remember some items always felt out of reach like the Casio TV remote watch[1].
Someone has also scanned almost all Argos magazines from 70s to mid 90s - https://retromash.com/argos/

Nope. Tracepoint eBPF programs require root to load always. For eBPF you select a program type, and that limits what you can do (aka what helper functions are available to you) and what privileges are required.
What you can do is quite limited. You're restricted to some preset eBPF program types, and each program type has a restricted set of operations it can perform (eBPF helper methods). So arbitrary modifications, absolutely not without adding a helper method and/or program type for this purpose. More program types and helper methods are being added all the time but overall it's pretty limited in use cases and operations.
If you want full control then kernel module is the way to go, but this doesn't have the same security and stability guarantees.
I had an MLB.tv subscription for many years, paying like $140 a year. In the UK, so nothing was blacked out... great... except last year find out they sold post-season rights to BT Sport so nothing in the post-season was available live AT ALL on MLB.tv in the UK. Forget it, did not renew this year.
Wow. I had no idea, I've been taking that for years. It's in every single OTC cold and flu medication with painkillers.
I found this to be a good read/overview:

Right. Generally more air and more fuel, produces bigger explosions and bigger forces, so the engine would output more power and torque.
These greater forces cause more stress to factory engine components, so generally at a certain level you will need to replace engine internals with uprated parts e.g. stronger rods and pistons.
Just to add to this there was a good Financial Times film [1] recently that covered the after effects of Brexit. Covid and Ukraine have allowed politicians to divert attention away from the economic disaster that Brexit has been, and have been handy scapegoats, but the fact Brexit has damaged the U.K. economically is undeniable.
