Reminds me of a "Washing Machine Trategy" by Stanisław Lem. A short story that may be a perfect parabole of the today's AI bubble.

Another cool example is Nexus One's trackball. It had advantage of being able to scroll in any direction.

I remember playing a pretty simple Basic game on my Commodore+4 called "Kubusiowe Litery" or "Kubusiowe Literki", unfortunately my cassette with the game got damaged, and I cannot find a source of it anywhere. I feel sad that the game may get lost in time like tears in rain. ;(

I was expecting either the Alpine Linux, or a port to js of the mail client. :)

Unfortunately both Alts are not equivalent. The right one, the AltGr is uaef in many languages to type letters with diacritics. E.g. in Polish AltGr+Z is Ż, while AltGr+X is Ź. Still using both Ctrls itself helps a lot, and one may have a right Windows to remap as Meta.

Boom is "just" pure Doom + some static limits being raised, and a few new types of floors and lines (plus a few other smaller changes) :)

That's why I loved The Witness devs who released an update for the game, with improved support for my crappy old integrated GPU on laptop. Even though it was not meeting tmhardware requurements of tge game.

"People" don't need just lossless, they need The Beatles to release all of their pre-master tracks to be released in lossless format, so they of them can create their own remastered versions of a the tracks.

Yup. I really loved all the functional stuff I've learned there from OCaml to SML+Extended ML, to Haskell.

Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to professionally program functionally since the n. :(

It was all Java and C++. Though I like C++, maybe it's a Stockholm syndrome. ;)

I've misread the title as "You can do a lot with an empty life", and clicked eagerly hiping to learn how to deal with the feeling of emptiness in your life.

You can very well parallelise CPU-intensive problems. Look at e.g. "Embarassingly parallel" on Wikipedia. Intuitively if you can divide your work into chunks that are large enough, the scheduling overhead becomes negligible.
