Been following people who have been making electronic music mixes between two cassette decks and a mixer which are worth a listen. The thing that's interesting is that you can pitch up and down in ways that sound nice:
oh yeah you're right and this is coming from someone who still likes/uses perl once in a while for text manipulation stuff that awk/sed won't cut it for. try going into your terminal and typing in
man 3pm Errno
And you get this code snippet:
my $fh;
unless (open($fh, "<", "/fangorn/spouse")) {
if ($!{ENOENT}) {
warn "Get a wife!\n";
} else {
warn "This path is barred: $!";
}
}
man is that ever from a different time... but let me tell you if you can pull off some of those awk/sed or perl one liners you can do some pretty useful things with less resource allocation than you would be spending if you had written that in python, which becomes important if you're running it over and over on terabytes of data or on limited hardware
I know a guy who went to jail for that. He was in the news and everything. Banned from this country for life. Warned him that what he was doing was a stupid idea, he was even doing it for others who also got arrested...
I don't know what "that" was, and again, I had both the vaccination and the digital certificate to prove it; the system in place would not accept the real documents, so I fed it with other documents that it did accept.
The people who check your QR code with scanners on the entrance to a shopping mall (and refuse to let you in unless the scanner shows a green mark) are not the police nor the prosecution, and I have a good case to present to a judge in any case.
"The guy who went to jail" could be unvaccinated (or even infected) and presenting other people's certificates to enter an area for vaccinated people only (e.g. hospitals) where he might have endangered other people's lives; that's something that might be deserving jail time. I was vaccinated however, and by all means had the right to enter that shopping mall; I just wasn't able to prove it to the imperfect system that was there to check.
Liver can be pretty good if you spice it up Jamaican style. I regularly make this for people who tell me they don't like liver and they just love it. Pretty easy - Fresh and whole tumeric, ginger, garlic, onions, thyme, oregano, and as much scotch bonnet as you can handle. Soak the liver in brined water or milk for a few hrs and it will draw out a lot of the strong taste as well (French technique). Stew in some water after sautéing the onions to your liking. Same recipe works for stewing heart meat if that's something more to your liking, and it also contains a lot of the same nutrients that a lot of people are lacking in modern westernized diets. Consider what other predators do when they get to their prey: They go straight for the liver and heart.
However if you don't like the idea of trying new things, and just want something in pill form, honestly lecithin or even better citicoline is the way to go in my opinion
I think I could eat just about anything if it were doctored up that way. First, seriously, that sounds delicious! Second, I doubt even the terrible (to me) tast of liver could make it through that wall of flavor.
Chicken liver has more iron and selenium in it per Oz than beef liver. Easier to eat a ton and not as harsh tasting. Make some dirty rice or just liver stew!
Yeah Bresseloff is the man. Def check his work out, Ralph Abrams passed away recently (RIP) but he definitely had some words to say about all this stuff too, used to talk a lot with Mckenna and the unfortunate crank Sheldrake in trialogues which are fun reading if you got a mind open to that kind of thing
Some other links - not only how the cortex got its stripes but how the leopard got its spots. You see alot of this math in psychedelic visuals now (Reaction-diffusion networks etc)
It's also worth noting that the original mainframe hardware has likely been virtualized at this point. Used to work for a company that was doing a lot of that around 15 years ago
> that the original mainframe hardware has likely been virtualized at this point
The as400 is a mini-computer, the high end of this line overlaps the low end of mainframe.
When I did some consulting work out there many years ago, they had a network of the largest as400's that IBM makes, connected together in one image.
Regarding virtualization: It would have to be on IBM's power processors. IBM does offer cloud services running as400, I have no info on whether Costco is using that or not.
I've been there, this doesn't work well at all. Actually since Windows NT the DOS subsystem is already an emulation, and it's not that good. DOS applications worked really well up to Windows ME, but with NT/XP/7 it got worse.
vDos was overall much better than running DOS applications directly on Windows. Only drawback was performance. It never ran as fast as on a Pentium III with Windows 98, but still much faster than the original hardware it was designed for (~30 mhz 80386).
Our application was designed for Novell NetWare, back then it even supported row/table locks for dBase files on the shared network drive. This didn't work with Windows NT anymore. But vDos brought back the feature to Windows 10 and SMB shares!

What's crazy is that at least the portable cassette decks aren't cheap anymore. Look on eBay at prices and be amazed
