A summary of some problems I faced when tinkering with Quake to get it play nicely on an oscilloscope. After seeing some cool clips like this mushroom thing and of course Youscope, playing Quake on a scope seemed like a great idea. It ticks all the marks that make me happy: low-poly, realtime rendered and open source. » Pekka Väänänen | lofibucket.com
Este jueves, 1 de enero, entra en vigor gran parte de la ley Lassalle de propiedad intelectual y con ella su artículo 32.2, que obliga a los editores y autores a cobrar —aunque no quieran— cuando los agregadores de Internet enlacen y distribuyan sus contenidos. Estos son los aspectos clave a tener en cuenta sobre el denominado canon AEDE. » M.M. | 20minutos.es
The Futurama writers had a rule that the show’s more obscure jokes couldn’t be central to the plot. So the background is stuffed with nods to mathematics, science, history, and literature. Numbers are often translated into math problems (instead of Studio 54, the crew visits Studio 1²2¹3³). Robot information is conveyed in binary (”The Honking” references the ”Redrum” scene in The Shining, when Bender is perplexed to see ”0101100101” written in blood on a wall, but then realizes that it reads ”1010011010” in the mirror, a series of digits that translates to ”666”). And of course, there’s the Alienese language. But the writers also built entire episodes around the Banach-Tarski paradox and the premise of three-dimensional characters entering two-dimensional space. ...
In May of this year, LinuxGizmos and Linux.com collaborated on a joint survey, asking our readers to choose their favorite open-spec hacker SBCs from a list of 32 that run Linux and/or Android. Our SBC survey winners, ranked one to five, included the Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone Black, Odroid-XU, CubieTruck, and Banana Pi single board computers. Thanks to the flood of new open-spec, community-backed boards, as well as the demise of others, we have updated our list for this end-of-year snapshot. ...
Sometime in late summer I took a break with some of the other engineers and went to a local bar on Castro street in Mountain View. The bar was the St. James Infirmary and it had a 30 foot wonder woman statue inside among other interesting things. At some point in the evening I mentioned that it was sad that Lynx was not going to be able to display many of the HTML extensions that we were proposing, I also pointed out that the only text style that Lynx could exploit given its environment was blinking text. We had a pretty good laugh at the thought of blinking text, and talked about blinking this and that and how absurd the whole thing would be. ...
It’s an accomplishment all the more remarkable given that the story driving the Foundation Trilogy — an epic tale of the fall and rise of future galactic empires —contains virtually none of the usual tropes that are associated with science fiction. The novels span the entire galaxy, but no extraterrestrials make an appearance. It depicts the future history of human society, but it’s neither explicitly a utopian nor dystopian parable. There’s plenty of futuristic technology—from faster-than-light spacecraft to personal force fields—but all of this serves as the background, not the driver, of the plot. In fact, Foundation appears to contradict Asimov’s own definition of science fiction, as a ”branch of literature which deals with the reaction of human beings to changes in science and technology.” In this case, though, Asimov would later explain that he set out to create a genre he called ”social science fiction.” He used the future as a template to explore a pivotal idea that we’ve been asking for centuries: Are there laws of human history as immutable as the laws of physics? ...
Si por casualidad acabamos ejecutando un rm -fr /var/lib, tendremos un pequeño problema. El directorio /var/lib está pensado para que los programas instalados guarden información variable (ver man hier). Puestos a suponer, supongamos que esto es exactamente lo que acaba de pasar, que aún no hemos reiniciado la máquina y que seguimos teniendo acceso por SSH. Copias de seguridad En este momento, ya es tarde para pensar en copias de seguridad si no las habíamos hecho antes. Habrá información que hayamos perdido y que sea imposible recuperar, por ejemplo, las bases de datos MySQL. Probablemente, perderemos información importante para los programas y es posible que recuperar el sistema en lugar de reinstalar favorezca que haya toda clase de errores extraños. ...
