Is coreboot that system where the machine basically boots into a FORTH interpreter that has vocabulary words to read and boot from various media. That would be sweet - Forth is a hoot once you get used to it.

Yeah, This sounds like the thing.. I really have to limit the cost to "Recycle cans and bottles" money because we (wife and I) recently bought me parts for a mini-ATX workstation ~$500.00 i5 8gb memory and an SSD I already had.

The hard part is tiny: 10" diagonal screen and really cheap: like milk money cheap - - Perhaps a netbook would work, some of them were Linux based right?

We are not talking Daylight Savings Time are we? It would be great if we would just stick to one time and not change from savings to not savings. Japan, I think, split the difference, they went 1/2 hour and stayed there.

Good. Thanks! It just seemed to spring up overnight-like.

I am learning fdupes right now - I also know I have some big .iso files that I have transferred to my ventoy so they can go.

Doing it ourselves might have the same effect though - "oh well, they have their own driver they are happy with"

I wasn't around that early, was ndiswrapper, bad?

Could the kernel makers create some sort of sandbox to run Windows drivers in - so we ride on Windows coat tails until true Linux drivers are available? Or is the Windows, um DPI (driver program interface) just too different to allow that?

Edit: Then we use the Windows drivers an make loud noises to the hardware mfg that we would really rather have a Linux driver and that they would sell many more of their $hardware if they make one.

A minister whose job is to promote AI and also promote Privacy - seems like a built-in conflict of interests.

The Kaylon are the robotic race from 'The Orville'. When they started to show signs of consciousness their makers installed "suffering" which lead to abuse, which led to rebelion and genocide of the maker race (and a mistrust of all biological life).

Do NOT ask the Kaylon about this.

 

Calcula is an RPN calculator with 26 stack levels and 26 storage registers. It is not programmable except you get the Pascal source code and you can create new, possibly complex, functions for the calculator.

I am looking for suggestions for other functions to add and testing for the existing functions. Free. GPL3 License.

 

For the Slideshow option on Desktop Settings / Wallpaper, and the user is using the Random order and a new file appears in one of the wallpaper folders, make that image the next one to show.

 

I have a 'spare' Dell Latitude 7390 (Core i5 9gb ) on this machine. My production machine runs Debian with KDE.

What might be an interesting distro for me to try out on my spare machine?

Debian 12 (Bookworm) My Wi-Fi has just started randomly dropping the connection and re-connecting. It seems to connect and pass data normally until it decides to drop again.

I thought I solved this part by disconnecting and re-connecting myself but no it just deactivated and activated just now again.

I also have a wired connection.

Is there any issue with having both a wired connection and a wireless one at the same time?

Does it do any good? That is does the network traffic balance over the two connections give a little more bandwidth?

Update 1: For now until I can reboot I have disabled the wi-fi connection.

Update 2: The Wife works at home on wi-fi and says her connection has been bad this afternoon too. I rebooted and I still have the problem.

 

[Solved] Use date format for the dates and use the xy scatter plot

I have the dates and weights for the times I was weighed at my doctor's office. I would like to plot those so that the actual slopes are visualized.

I tried just putting the numbers in two columns and plotting them with a line plot but the days between the dates are irregular, sometimes 3 or more months elapse, sometimes only a week or two, but the dates on the graph are evenly spaced.

Is there a setting that will space the dates out to account for the number of days between dates, so I can see how well my diet is working?

 

Hi Everyone.

I am a user of an Apple IIC+! yay! I use mine mostly for Applesoft Basic programming.

Is this a place for those of us who rock Jurassic Apples?

Hi experienced people!

I am working on an interpreter of sorts. I would like its scripts to be invokable from the command line - so It would honor the "#!" as a first line, basically by making any line starting with a "#" a comment.

The issue is that I want to be able to read the source code more than once. The first pass will deduce the number of lines, the number of variables, the number of line labels, The beginning of the second pass will allocate arrays (malloc) to hold the program and its data, then re-read the source to store it internally and fill symbol tables and mark variables. once the source is read the 2nd time the program will begin to execute.

If an interpreted program is mentioned on the command line it would only get one pass at the source, right? That source would come in on standard input, and once read is no longer available.

Is there a way for my interpreter to get the file name instead of the body of the file?

While writing the question I came up with an idea, but I hope there is a better one. I could as a first pass store each line of the program in a known temporary file, then for the second pass I could read that file. I don't like this but if there is no better way...

 

Farmer for one, but I am not sure of the rest.
