@eloy I think it means that "Macronix International Co., Ltd." is often shortened to "Macronix", not "MCIX"

@eloy kut nu moet ik dat ook proberen

@eloy hmm confusing, I mean, at least it's not just a standard ad page and they seem to imply just wanting to restore it to its former glory and paying for the hosting?but I do wonder how this happened, it sounds sniped away from the previous owners, but that's making assumptions about state of the site and the previous owners, like I don't know if they just disappeared or decided to drop paying for the domain or whatever, it's hard to make any informed calls about this right now honestly

@eloy I'm lowkirksixsevenuinely reading this bussin' dank lit article so I can farm my aura by slaying, cooking, and eating 2020s slang. No cap, bestie. Now I'm the 2020s slang GOAT (until I become washed), but when I say KMS it means Kernel Mode Setting and LuaJIT is too rizzed to be a jit (except in Ohio). Periodt.

@q66 @eloy You're joking but there's a guy who's seriously running a programming ecosystem (somewhere half way to Temple OS) on the credo that everything is a 32-bit value (including bytes), or "equivalently" UCS-4, and I think he's effectively there. (It's just that the CPU he runs on chooses to always lug around two pointless trailing zero bits in all pointers ).

@maswan @eloy @gnomon My view is that management is somewhat forced by what staff they can recruit and what that staff can operate (which at a large scale is forced by budget, which is forced by politics¹). Increasingly I think universities (and lots of other places) will be forced to rely on existing solutions instead of building their own.¹ as mainstream tech salaries get ever higher it becomes ever-harder for 'second tier' organizations like universities to pay competitively.

@eloy y'all first worlders are not ready for south american open source software

@eloy They call it Windows 7 Enterprise, but it doesn't even remotely resemble LCARS.
