I have a version (probably not exactly the same software for the head unit) of this on an SGI O2 sitting around including all the environment scripts and the HTML manuals. I have a tar.gz of it that I should upload to an archive location.
I'm on the fence about inheritance myself; I often regret having used it, and I never regret having not used it. On the other hand, it's awfully expedient. I designed and implemented a programming language called Bicicleta whose only argument-passing mechanism is inheritance, and I'm not sure that was a bad idea.
The object-oriented part of OCaml, by the way, has inheritance that's entirely orthogonal to interfaces, which in OCaml are static types. Languages like Smalltalk and, for the most part, Python don't have interfaces at all.
- Download as many LLM models and the latest version of Ollama.app and all its dependencies.
- Make a list of my favorite music artists and torrent every album I can.
- Open my podcast app and download every starred episode (I have a ton of those that I listen to repeatedly).
- Torrent and libgen every tech book I value. Then, grab large collections of fiction EPUBs.
- Download every US Army field manual I can get my hands on, especially the Special Operations Medic manual, which is gold for civilian use in tough times.
- Download every radio frequency list I can for my area of the country.
- Download digital copies of The Encyclopedia of Country Living by Carla Emory, Where There Is No Doctor, and Where There Us No Dentist.
I already have paper versions of almost all of these but it’s handy to have easily-reproducible and far more portable digital copies.
Tangentially, here's an explainer on how the original SNES Mode7 actually worked, with excellent animations demonstrating the input, settings, and output:
I haven't figured out how. But apparently, there is a logic hole people can exploit to insert their own content into anyone's "Following" tab without "Sponsored" or "Ads" tag (and without anyone in your following to retweet or reply). Would like to know if anyone noticed the same and how the game was played.
