I think there's a quote from Linus himself saying this.


Wine works on windows too. It's used by the shorthorn project to get software for newer versions of windows to run under XP.


Yep, for some games like Elden Ring it even fixes Windows-specific performance hiccups: https://youtu.be/vAooLiCy7rE


Whoa. Can it be used to run older software on newer Windows too?


GOG used to ship Wine ddraw.dll with some games although for this specific use case there are better options now (e.g. cnc-ddraw).

Reminds me of a thing Steve Mould mentioned in a video about a claim in a book "The temperature outside an aeroplane is six times colder than the temperature inside a freezer."

Multi talented. He also wrote the fastest standards compliant json library.


Crimmas!


Did you forget to double space between the lines, or put leading spaces?

Also, I had to turn off firefox's enhanced tracking protection for the font to load. Before that it was unicode tofu.


Can you still buy Olestra to use in your own cooking for that purpose?

I have seen a video by Applied Science on youtube where he made some and fried chips in it.


I have no idea, but a quick search didn't find anyone selling it.

Maybe it's available under a different trade name.


So, a "Grocery Positioning System"?

I wonder how much better this does than CCC's attempts at indoor navigation for their conferences. Those are usually pretty fun to read about.


I was going to shout out Tesco specifically, for a similar feature they have on their website/app in Ireland/UK.

If you find a product's page, there's an "other items on this shelf" section which shows items that are located next to it. It's probably not intended to help you locate things, but it's incredibly helpful for it.

Adds way more things for you to notice and tell you're in the right location. Same haystack, more needles.


Glad to hear something's being done with the data from the weather radar most commercial jets have. The thought occurred to me about halfway through reading the blogpost.

I hope that data's available publicly, though likely not as publicly as ADSB broadcasts.
