This would be a great advertisement for security consulting.
"I was just able to run arbitrary code on your computer. Here is a sample of your recent browser history. Let me tell you help you mitigate your security vulnerabilities."
Nintendo 64’s RSP (Reality Signal Processor) was effectively a vector-optimized MIPS CPU, so its “microcode” was really just MIPS assembly. The “micro” aspect of RSP microcode came from the 4KB Instruction Memory and 4KB Data Memory that the RSP had direct access to.
The RSP was not a GPU, but it did process display lists before handing them off to the RDP (Reality Display Processor). RSP microcode was used for audio processing, video decoding, display list transform & lighting, as well as other more general processing tasks such as terrain generation.
cannot upvote this enough. DHH perfectly explained what is wrong with cloud. Constant gaslighting from cloud marketing about: capital costs, human cost, hardware cost, etc., while ignoring all negatives of cloud.
Cloud computing is pure scam. you rent 1 vCPU and people often think this is as good as a real 1 hardware core, while in reality that physical core is being sold twice/three times to different customer. Your 1 vCPU is maybe 0.5-0.75 of a real hardware CPU, perhaps even less, depending on how greedy cloud provider is.
It is almost like instead of driving your own car and making stable car payment - you decide to exclusively use Uber/Lyft to go around. Sounds good if you are in NYC/SF, but not so much outside of these perfect use cases. Also doesn't make sense if your primary job is pizza delivery, all your margins from delivering pizzas will just transfer to ride hailing company.
All of these posts never seem to talk about the operational overheard they're saving by using the cloud. 500k/year is a couple of engineers. And IME, at scale, Elasticsearch is a huge pain to self manage.
Self hosting has become very easy these days. Elasticsearch, specifically was a pain to self manage years ago. With modern versions, it has become incredibly stable, defaults have made more sense, and you now have modern tools like Kubernetes to make deploying/scaling easier too. The work required to self-host has improved in the past decade, and ppl who "default to the cloud" ignore this.
I'm saying this as someone who manages a 50 TB cluster for a startup (which I know isn't a HUGE amount, but definitely not small either)
Not a retail release, but 2MB is plenty for homebrew development. For example, there is a clone of Flappy Bird[1] written for the open-source LibDragon SDK[2] that works great on PicoCart64. With FPGA-based flash carts increasing in price and decreasing in availability, I welcome any solution that lowers the barrier to entry for testing homebrew on real consoles.
Incidentally, the Nintendo 64 also used fixed point numbers in RDP graphics instructions, but did not exhibit the same visual artifacts as the PlayStation.
Not a standalone browser app, but if I tap a link in say the watchOS Mail app, it'll display a web view. Developers can optimize their site for the watch display. It might sound crazy but it's useful for glancing at brief information on the web.
I am not a/your lawyer, but what you are describing is known as a ["Holographic Will"](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/h/holographic-will.asp). Such a document may not be sufficient depending on your state/circumstances, and may not be respected by the probate court if the document is lost, destroyed, or otherwise called into question.
Hmm, so when crawling, URLs are normalised and the URL library I'm using is normalising the "!" to "%21". Could you send me a working URL to test on? My email is sw@seanw.org if you want to use that.
