France is in pretty bad financial shape, so they are going to be looking at getting money wherever they can.

Microsoft is known for making Windows run older programs. Apple not so much.

Oh wow, Be and Eazel. I bet you have some good stories. I do miss the BeOS and Eazel was doing some good stuff for the Linux desktop back in the day.

When I was in College (as a Chem major) homework was not graded. It was there for you to do to prepare for exams. I'm assuming that this is different for pure math majors though.

I have to agree, I've been using Fedora Bluefin and had some issues and Claude was able to troubleshoot it all. Would have taken me a bunch of time to untangle it myself.

Looks like it was centered away from densely populated areas. Still pretty big.

Enantiomers and Diastereomers are one of the more interesting and challenging things in Organic Chemistry. It also makes carbohydrate chemistry challenging in Biochem.

The sack of Constantinople was 30 years into the future after this expedition. But yes, after the fall of Constantinople in 1204, it never was able to recover its former power. Manuel I Komnenos really blew it with the decision to anger the Venetian's.

Just like with most Empires, that wealth was heavily concentrated with the rich and powerful, a very small group of elites.

I like the Shimano MTB stuff, usually I'm all in on the XT level stuff. I did have some XTR cranks back in the day, but they had this cool dark grey color. I especially like the XT disk brakes and their clipless XT trail pedals.

This is the info that people should be looking at. Building these facilities takes time. I'm guessing they are thinking that demand is not going to decline anytime soon to justify this buildout. EDIT both SKHynix and Samsung are also expanding their DRAM production lines and new plants. So they are all working on adding new capacity.

Mountain driving can be scary if you are driving too fast or in bad weather. We have the Angeles Crest and Angeles Forest highway here in SoCal which is windy and has steep cliffs. Every weekend people come out with their motorcycles and sports cars and try to turn it into a race course. I remember years back a carpool van with people commuting to Cal Tech from Palmdale went over the side killing the passengers. It was during the winter and it was foggy and may have been icy too.

It’s amazing how much more land in the central coast area is now dedicated to growing grapes.

Many other people drive more than you do.

Man going from a Windows environment all the way to NixOS is quite the change isn't it? Probably good if NixOS can get more attention and easier to use. I see a lot of hype for it, and then people seem to give up as it can get pretty gnarly with some of the configuration. I'm a fan of something like Fedora Silverblue with the immutable OS setup.
