About 20 years ago I made a script that converts pictures to HTML tables. Back then RAM was a severe problem for this, and even for more powerful hardware browsers tended to just crash on larger pictures.

I checked it again a few years later, and things looked way better. I guess using CSS it'd be rather trivial nowadays to do the same with a short video by just cycling through showing/hiding tables of each frame.

There is nothing like this availlable currently. Framework probably comes closest, but they only sell in a few countries, and there is lots of stuff to dislike about their solutions - but building your own around a framework board might be feasible.

I have two mnt reforms - as you said, slow and expensive. They have their use for work prototyping for me, but generally wouldn't recommend. They also have the worst keyboard I've encountered in a notebook in the last decade.

I find this situation rather entertaining. It shows yet again how important it is to educate people on the basics of how LLM work, including how they are being executed - I'm guessing with just a tiny bit more knowledge it'd also have been obvious nonsense to you.

Dazu kommt dann noch der zusaetzliche Schaden in der Wirtschaft, auch von Leuten die so aussehen als wuerden sie sich bemuehen: Bestenfalls koennen wir die Bewerbung direkt aussortieren, und verschwenden nur ein paar Minuten damit, schlimmstenfalls stellen wir dann jemand ein der versucht in der Probezeit wieder entlassen zu werden.

Langfristig gehen wir eh in Richtung weniger Beschaeftigung - statt hier Leute zu gaengeln die nicht wollen, und damit noch Kollateralschaden verursachen sollte man das einfach akzeptieren, und schauen dass wir Produktionsmittel die Arbeitsplaetze ersetzen so besteuern dass wir uns leisten koennen wenn jemand nicht arbeiten will.

On a real UNIX (not only AiX) killall is part of the shutdown process - it gets called by init at that stage when you want to kill everything left before reboot/shutdown.

Linux is pretty unique in using that for something else.

You'll get different results depending on the printer type, though. For example, that kitchen paper would work in a inkjet printer (as in, would get pulled through, but you couldn't read the result), and work perfectly in a dot matrix printer. I know the latter as I used to print, err, learning aids on paper handkerchiefs with my dot matrix printer in the 90s. A few times teachers were suspecting something, in which case I'd just use it to clean my nose, and toss it. Nobody ever was curious enough to continue their investigation afterwards.

Turns out, countries where religious extremists are stuck in the past and were allowed political power tend to legitimate killing by the state (also looking at you here, USA). They're also perfectly fine with women dying for that, so I don't think this statement is wrong when applied to extremists of any related religion.

It is a web designers masturbation phantasy - fancy looking, but convoluted and impractical.

For me personally the shitty UI of discord causes so much friction that I'll never interact with discord ever again, unless I can reach it via some gateway from some of the messaging systems I use - which so far doesn't happen as I'd need to log in to discord to configure the gateway. I tried that once, never again.

Technically the notation with dashes is the non-standard one - the dash form is a GNU addition. A traditional tar on something like Solaris or HP-UX will throw an error if you try the dash notation.

I also was almost dismissing it as "who let raddle out of the box again", but this is indeed a valid complaint, which even is easy enough for kbin to become compliant - so I also don't see why they didn't do it immediately when it was pointed out.
