Is Vue still magic, or can you actually write normal typescript?

What a garbage website. It feels like it was made for ferrari, not the visitor.

I think there are industrial pcs with a 486-compatible soc.

A ton of industrial equipment are still using win 3.1.

Consequence of the 'if it works, why mess with it?' mindset. It will become a problem when those boards give out and spares are gone.

I wonder how many of those are actually still out there. According to Wikipedia, Intel kept making replacement parts (386 and 486) until September 2007, but personally, I have never come across one in actual use. My own career in this field began with an internship in 2008. My day job includes working on a PLC runtime with a code base older than myself, originally written for DOS, but every industrial PC (or other x86 based embedded device) I have ever got to play around with had at the very least a Pentium class CPU in it.

As for the Windows 3.x based industrial equipment: Some industrial devices I have worked on in the past turned out to actually be ARM based, running Linux, but the software went a long way to convincingly fake old Windows style UI or emulate a DOS prompt. I was once tasked to extend such a UI library to faithfully reproduce Windows 98 style color gradient borders.

Only once have I seen an actual embedded 486SX with my own eyes, but not in active use anymore. Last year, someone dragged a dusty, old, weirdo Siemens telephony box to the the local Hackerspace. The box itself had a design language that screamed "Star Trek: Voyager". I found a UART, it was running "On Time RTOS-32" which, according to the German Wikipedia, was an RTOS with a Windows API compatible userspace, developed by a German company in 1996 and discontinued in 2023.

IBM mainframes have an embedded PC (the "Support Element") used to manage the hardware configuration and diagnostics. Originally, it ran OS/2. In 2005, IBM replaced it with Linux–running a UI which looked like OS/2. (At some point more recently, they refreshed the visual look so it doesn't look like OS/2 any more, although I'm not sure when they did that.)

Him being a nazi, or at least enough of a sympathizer to make a salute is not related to him being an idiot.

He is both, but it’s irrelevant in this context.

And half the time, the sources turn out to be sarcastic jokes on reddit.

So the bots are not recognizing the sarcasm font?

Lucky we all added /s so the bots have an easier time understanding it

Yes. "We all" add it. Every time.

/s

I’d expect the sentiment analysis to be better, yes.

If the bots take everything they read at face value, how useful are they really?

More likely it would force software advancements. Current models are horribly inefficient.

I’ve seen this done with C as well.

Carp is memory safe via linear types + references, similar to Rust, so I would not describe it as C-like but rather Rust-like.

Wouldn’t thermal noise in a resistor make more practical sense?

I prefer cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) as my RNG of choice

until someone uses microwave lol

Git?

I don't know what you mean. Git is not on the charts shown on that page, and git is not related to blockchain.

> A blockchain is a distributed ledger with growing lists of records (blocks) that are securely linked together via cryptographic hashes.[1][2][3][4]

That’s exactly what git is.

Yeah, no.

How is this not obvious to everyone? It's like people forgot how to engineer.
