✉️ #NaData de hoje, mas em 2004, a Google surpreendeu o mundo com o anúncio dos serviços do Gmail - inicialmente disponíveis apenas a quem recebesse convite.

A oferta de 1 giga de armazenamento grátis de e-mail era tão superior a qualquer alternativa disponível nos maiores concorrentes internacionais (como o Hotmail e o Yahoo Mail), que muita gente pensou que era pegadinha de 1º de abril.

Na época, o armazenamento gratuito típico ficava entre 5MB e 50MB.

Never looked at the specs of the original SGI RealityEngine, and holy shit https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/166117.166131
this is completely bonkers for 1993. Just look at these boards!

and a Raster Manager board https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RealityEngine#/media/File:SGI-re2-rm4.jpg

no wonder these things cost $infinity

@csolisr You can find the AM4 socket pinout with a quick web search (IIRC it's on wikichip).
@corbet @jani No, they don't. But there are some magic files which they do always read, like AGENTS.md on the repository root, so if you symlink that file to Documentation/process/coding-assistants.rst (and whatever they're using follows symlinks), it should make things a bit better. (Each agent software seems to have their own magic file names, but AGENTS.md seems to be a common one.)

@eniko A coworker managed to lose the key to his office drawer inside the drawer itself (I don't remember how), so I tried to pick it and succeeded (it was a fluke, I never managed to do it again even though it's a very low quality lock).

That time the card reader on the office maglock malfunctioned and the backup control was inside the office was more interesting. I had to cut a wire to get in (I chose a red one for tradition), don't know if it counts as picking a lock or not.

@nazokiyoubinbou @FifiSch @grote Installing a new OS on your daily driver phone means wiping it (because unlocking the bootloader wipes the data partition as a security measure). Other than "adb backup" (which is deprecated and does not work for all apps), you can't do a full backup of all the data on the phone before wiping; you have to hope all the apps you use synchronized their data to a server.

And there's the risk (perceived or real) of bricking the phone.

DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH is now available on PC

As potentially one of the last Sony PlayStation published releases on PC, DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH is officially out now from KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS.

@ObsidianUrbex For some reason, the first picture reminds me a lot of the deeper levels of the classic Portal 2 videogame. It feels as if these floor plates mark places which will be covered by one of the gels which are introduced in these levels.
@vitu @xinayder @alebecker @Sunraku Acho que rola um viés da turma que, como eu, usa Linux desde que era criança ou adolescente. Para gente como nós, mesmo coisas tipo um soft de design de circuito integrado teria grande "probabilidade de uso e atratividade" e "facilidade de acesso e utilização" por crianças e adolescentes. Somente o item III salva alguns produtos, mas seria fácil alegar que por exemplo um SO com funcionalidade de rede permite "compartilhamento de informações em larga escala".

How do I know this?

I was the project lead, although the best parts of it were written by my smarter collaborator Michael O’Brien (eventually SVP of R&D at Technicolor).

This story is *not* the 32 to 64 bit transition.

This is just us trying to get another GB of address space, where we leveraged the ongoing Linux port work w/alot of our own.

Now that I think about it, all the impactful work I’ve done in my career happened in 32 bits of address space.

4GB always seemed like a lot to me.
