Search for the Lanz Dampfross (steam horse), and if you have need for some garden ornaments you could collect old matching plough from the same time...

As mentioned already, I've got kids...

Not really. You can do the test runs in parallel on a room full of hardware. Building usually has choke points.

Big projects tend to be set up in teams and certain rules for check in to trunk. We had this big beautiful C++ mess which had several GB of source code. You make a change, build locally, run the test suite (locally), find it in order. Oh, and reviews by others from the team. After that you were...

So... they say A.I. is retro? Maybe even ... obsolete?

Total compile time really gets to be a pita in huge projects, to th point where the dev team looks like they had met Vlad the impaler. Throwing money at the CI chain is a clear sign of technological debt, fought at the wrong end. I had my battle with the "architects" about this, and they tried...

No, you are not alone. I donate a lot of my time to this, and I would also not donate a single cent when those questions would appear. Maybe we should all agree to a person to use there, like Sneaky Daemon, living West Addison 1060, ...

You could boot with ACPI disabled, and see what happens then?

I'm sure that can be done by, you know, AI? -- some CEO, somewhere.

30 years ago we did reading of hand written addresses on mail envelopes. Most banks started to switch to scanning of cheques around then, as far as I know. OCR is around for a long time, too.

I know. My reply was a nodding reference to a c't editorial from around the same time, back then when they were a real computer magazine and not a press release printing service. The editorial picked that up and argued the other side, that readability leads to better algorithms, fewer bugs and a...

I hope you brought your asbestos underpants. Can we now get back on topic or do we need to put this thread out of my misery?

Please make a new thread in the fitting subforum, thank you.

The think is, you can fix these errors in a higher level much easier than in the lower ones. Once upon a time, C compilers wrote out assembler code files. The assembler proviedes no error or type checking, but when that is done on the upper levels it does not need to. But all, don't forget the...

That indeed is the question. Also, how good does that thinking model reality? How much will that thinking hurt each one of us (Joe Sixpack, Ivan Ivanovich, ...). If there is a god, maybe he should put a quota on how much power any one person might be allowed to command. Sadly, the design was...

I charge my phone(s) with the power supply from the lenovo laptop when in a hurry. MUCH faster than the wall wart, and you need to keep the protective case open to avoid having a hot brick in your pocket (well, winter is comming, so...)

The way I see it, autogenerated code would not need to use rust. The arguing about memory safety can be done when generating the solution, then generate the code. The code itself needs no checks, it was generated in the knowledge that it is safe. I would not like to expose the company who did...

Some interesting thoughts, but I think something is missing. I once was part of a team for adaptive hardware (not sure how far I can go into details) some 20 years ago. We had speedups of x1000, from standard C code to FPGA. And that went down due to "shareholder value" because one party could...

Maybe the swap config on disk is damaged? Just enough there to mount it, not enough to allocate from it? Or is it a swap file?

I once got away with recording the console with a good camera and single-stepping trough the video (save uncompressed video). It got the afterglow from the system console displaying the call stack and crash information, just enough to pinpoint the bug. Because if it happens really fast, you will...
