@requiem Micropython? There's risc-v microcontrollers running it at least. I personally want to see a CollapseOS build on it.
@zaitcev I wouldn't buy groceries from it unless I had to, but the grocery store closes at 11pm and the convenience store is 24/7, so in a pinch I'll get cat food or milk from there. Usually I'm just buying drinks, candy, and snacks instead, things that are at the grocery store, but cost almost the same in individual units, and you only get a price break there at higher unit counts. (the gas station has Monster energy for $5 for 2, but 2 at the grocery store is $6, or $8 for 4.)
@zaitcev There's a place here that's basically a gas station convenience store, but with no gas pumps. It manages to survive year after year because of its rather central location at least. We have a few other gas stations that I will go to even if I don't need gas just to get their snacks and coffee.
@jdowns The majority of retro youtube channels bounce all over the place, but about the main one I've seen that almost entirely focuses on Atari was FlashJazzCat. There's some others but I'm having trouble finding them.
@union You mean Patriot missiles, which variant? Did we just send them all of our PAC-1 or PAC-2 missiles?
@union We can't send them everything we have, we have stock level requirements that we can't go below.
@zaitcev There's a Manhwa that I'm reading that's actually set on South Padre island. I thought it was amusing that it was set in America, but I imagine it's based on a US web novel.
@zaitcev Once they have this thing fully debugged, they're going to also be launching these from Florida.
@zaitcev DEI, and Mcdonald Douglas' managerial staff that should have been fired when the merger happened. ;)
@developing_agent @AG100pct One of the reactors at Fukushima was using that plutonium-enriched fuel.
re: pol, pagers
@requiem Maybe the ability to swap every battery out and open things up to inspect them is the first order of business. You can order a giant box o batteries, then send a random selection through a puncture and test with explosives detector task.
@lunduke @yisraeldov @admin @omnipotens I didn't much like Mastodon's interface, which is why I switched over to Pleroma instead.
@anime Yeah, I've seen a few as well, but they're a lot less common than black and white ones made for print.
@pro Yeah, any of these will have some degree of subjectivity. In the selection of what tests to run, how they're implemented on each language, and how experienced the developers are at making efficient code in those languages.
@pro I think someone did some testing with various languages, and the two that had the fastest results were C and Rust, with C++ coming in 33% slower than both of those in the tests they did, and Go being worse than C++, so it's more a combination of memory safety and not impacting speed significantly. As far as development, if you can figure out how to work with the borrow checker, then Rust code does make the development easier than C, and much closer to Python in capabilities.
@requiem @tonicfunk Ah, I have one of their La Frite boards from their kickstarter. It's still the only ARM system I've ever seen that displays its u-boot on the hdmi output.
@requiem Bleh, that's an awful solution. Appimage is a lot more reliable and works across more systems. Otherwise you end up with a situation like Sun Secure Global Desktop, where we had to distro hop 3 times in 5 years because they kept changing which linux distros they supported.
@requiem Their "too many distros" complaint is silly, they could just use Appimage and it would work across essentially all distros.
