My htop file is read only. But it’s silly that you need to do that.


I got a speeding ticket in Colorado on a business trip and later moved clients and thought to myself “meh I just won’t pay it I won’t be back to Colorado any time soon” and I was stopping entering the country on a trip from the Caribbean for “outstanding warrants”. If I can get stopped for that they should know if they have real criminal charges to not play around.


Yeah nothing suspicious about a random google doc instead of a direct link to OpenAI. I would suggest nobody fill this out.



i stand corrected, thanks. what an odd way for them to collect data considering they seem more than capable of making a form on their own website...


> City officials said that the joke won’t last long. Once the bridge is officially completed, the on-site memorial will be removed. Finally, an official edit request will go to Google after a name is decided on October 16. Harambe, unfortunately, will not have a bridge named after him.

so they aren't stuck with it.


"yes MGM please go to your local CVS and pick up a green dot card and fill it with 10 million dollars and give me the code on the back once completed"


The daily deposit limit is $1500, so it'll take over 18 years to load it all on there.


every x86 has had halt. win95 was just not using it even though you could write a 10 line program to get context switched in when idle that would halt it. it was one of my first programs as a child on a 486 66 dx2.

i just had chat gpt generate said program and i think its very similar to what I wrote. I'm unsure if it ever did anything but i've always been interested in efficiency:

#include <stdio.h>

#include <windows.h>

void main() {

  printf("Setting process priority to low...\n");

  SetPriorityClass(GetCurrentProcess(), IDLE_PRIORITY_CLASS);

  printf("Halting the processor when no other programs are running...\n");

  while (1) {
    __asm {
      hlt
    }
  }
}

Is that scalable to real stuff though? At work we pretend out stuff is perfect and nobody is going to put their name on fixes because they are now the next support person for said fix. Open source has no expectation of support.


Seems like a culture problem more than a scaling problem.


Unreal Engine could be said to do "real stuff" and their release notes are quite similar and very expansive. There is no names attached to anything, if I recall correctly, but otherwise the release notes they do are similar.


Release notes for unreal are auto generated from commit messages. Before the release, you are expected to go through your changes and exclude/clean up any commit messages, and tag them with a major and minor category. Tech writers (I believe) handle the "top of the page" docs.

Source: I worked for epic and contributed to a few engine versions.


I am not sure it gets more real than a emulator. This is putely a question of organization and how much you care about explaining your releases.


Of course it is, Dolphin is very real and great. The stuff your arrogant self does however, probably doesn't matter anyway.


Of course it is the cost is a fixed overhead per-bug. It may be expensive, but it is scalable.

Plus on an open source project it may be a great way to attract more developers and document how the software works internally which may pay for itself.


The mame architecture is not friendly to dynarec which is necessary for GameCube and wii.


Imagine a 6502 game boy? 3 hours of battery but those spirits would fly. Also imagine a PPU similar to NES. Would have been tons of ports. I’m actually not sure why they didn’t go this route. They didn’t use stock 6502 so repackaging would have been fine.


Isn’t the 6502 slower?
