Or don't overclock?
But definitely mad props on the detective work.

Which nevertheless spawned a parody, by the American Comedy Network, as the B-side of their song about the breakup of AT&T:

@amszmidt Detroit-style pizza is square or rectangular, and has a thick crust, but the crust is light and airy, unlike Chicago deep-dish.

Sharing a Detroit style pizza with a friend. I prefer New York style, but he's buying, so I'm not going to turn it down.

Always nice to program with a LISP.

I'm developing a new programming language, Subjective C. The source program is reported as erroneous if the compiler doesn't like the coding style, naming conventions, or algorithms. The language standard states that the specific criteria are implementation defined.

Dear LazyFediverse,
What internet service do people like for ad-hoc private file sharing (example, transfer a 35 MB PDF file)? Or is there something I should install on my own server? I've run ftp and http servers in the past, but I don't feel like I want to build my own thing right now

How much public information is there about the "p-code" used in early versions of Microsoft application software, including MultiPlan, Word, Excel, and probably others? They originally had a proprietary C compiler named "CS" that produced the p-code. There are claims that p-code support was added to the Microsoft C Compiler, but I haven't found any actual documentation of that.

The PDP-10 most certainly DOES have addressable bytes. That's the subject of section 2.3 of the System Reference Manual.
In theory, that was an optional feature of the earliest PDP-10 processor, the KA10, but there is no evidence that DEC ever sold a KA10 without the option.

What sizes were the integer types?

The sun's total power output is only 296dBm, though it is the closest thing to a isotropic radiator that exists in the solar system.
If an antenna with 4600dB gain existed, it would be so highly directional as to be impossible to aim it sufficiently well to achieve any communication.

I'd like a copy of the fake product image, if you can share it.

If you inadvertently got your hand (or anything) in the beam, I'm not sure just how dangerous it would be. You'd only be subjected to the power of the amplifier, so presumably not too many watts, but focused on an area smaller than a proton, so the energy density would be higher than any that has existed in our universe since the Big Bang.

@evacide
Don't be absurd. We obviously can't create a proper Torment Nexus without a steady supply of Orphan Crushing Machines.

You can't have empathy for people who look different than you, if you've been taught for your entire life that those people are subhuman. (Even thought that word was never explicitly stated.)

Eating a sandwich and Miss Vickie's sea salt & vinegar chips at Subway. All the chips were fine, except the last one in the bottom of the bag. What the heck is this? Definitely not going to eat it.

What if natural intelligence doesn't actually emerge from some really deep amazing but currently unknown physics, but instead is just a clever trick building on (mostly) known physics?
