Sweet, sweet gender corn

Did you try…two periods instead of three?

I sometimes accidentally do this and then get angry that the feature exists

Postscript is also literally just a text based programming language for drawing stuff. You can create loops and recursions and all kinds of crazy transformations with a few lines of code.

I still own an electronic Japanese dictionary but haven’t used it in about 10 years. I have a dictionary app on my phone that I use nearly every day.

About the only thing the electronic version still does better than any of the apps I’ve tried, surprisingly, is handwritten kanji recognition, I think perhaps because it comes with a little stylus that makes it more precise.

I guess maybe we have different requirements, but I built a similar controller using a 68HC05 when I was in college (yes I am that old) and it had plenty of cycles left to burn. This thing is nearly an order of magnitude faster than the microcontroller I used.

EDIT: I will grant you the I/O is pretty limited, but you could also offload some of the work to an external timer/accumulator

The original DOOM ran on a 80386 which was actually slower than or roughly equivalent to this controller. Recommended system specs were for a 486 though which was maybe 2-3x as fast.

A 32bit @24MHz CPU is extremely overpowered for those use cases.

Qi operates in the 87-205 KHz range. A power tool is several orders of magnitude slower.

I know that toy store! It’s right next to a brewery tasting room in the same little building/complex. The place is loaded with crazily expensive vintage action figures.

Over the weekend, he shared clip from a Tesla fan account of the prototype for the Cybercab, a two-seater robotaxi the company will allegedly be making by 2026.

It is so accurate they qualified this with “allegedly” in this sentence.

Not if you have IOT smart bricks!

Magnets

Interesting you should mention that…

Who could have possibly predicted this outcome?

Maybe some former CDC staff members…

You didn’t say “bless you” when I sneezed!

I think the Raquel Welch film you are referring to is Myra Breckenridge, but I am not aware of Ebert’s involvement in that at all.

He did write Beyond the Valley of the Dolls though, which was a sex farce.
