    No wonder - the mesh have changed a lot since then, so the old group numbers are no longer valid.

    That rings a bell as something i would have made. Are you talking about Just a moment... ?

    Important State of the Forum Address 2019

    Interesting. I suspect that there might be a multi-layer translation issue here, since what you called bankcard sounds like something a recurring payment system like donations would accept just fine.

    Important State of the Forum Address 2019

    Credit card as a loan one? Or a regular one? Here in Russia all such cards are called credit cards, regardless of whether it's a debit card (your money only) or an actual credit card (loan from a bank). Is it similar in the Netherlands?

    Gaming Subnautica & Subnautica Below Zero

    I dunno, the thing i like about Steam is that games Just Work. You don't need to install anything, crack anything, fix anything, neuter anything. Just buy a game and play it. And their streaming implementation is great - i can play anything on a simple tablet from anywhere within 20 copper...

    Supersonic car targets 1,000mph

    As cool as it is, i don't quite see why is it called a car. A car is a ground vehicle, using ground for propulsion. This, on the other hand, is a low-flying rocket using wheels to avoid hitting the ground.

    News Raspberry Pi computer, is it rational?

    Even if i leave nothing but the Linux kernel and my program as init. Best i can tell, it's some sort of a brownout issue - the only thing that had an effect was adding a capacitor to the 5V GPIO, but even that failed to stop the lockups completely. And no, the watchdog timer on the thing does...

    News Raspberry Pi computer, is it rational?

    It might be a good idea to add a periodic reboot to crontab - in my experience these tend to lock up every few weeks for no apparent reason.

    Hm, i thought the simulations showed that it was the first explosion that was a prompt criticality, followed by a slower steam explosion?

    May i recommend Fastmail? For a reasonable amount of $30-$50 a year you get a clean, no-nonsense, no-bloat e-mail service. And yes, getting off Gmail is like quitting a bad habit. The trick is that you don't need to do it all at once, just change over all the easy stuff, start adding the new...

    OS WARS MEGA THREAD (Now debating proprietary vs. open-source!)

    I'm still baffled that there are people out there that use Windows Explorer for managing files. To me it feels like doing something through a borescope - you see nothing, you control nothing, basic operations are as complicated as possible and require third-party software, and apparently it's...

    News Chandrayaan-2 mission news.

    A friend of mine described it as "One nation divided by several common languages". Apparently people do speak english and hindi as common languages, but the dialects and accents vary greatly between regions making it really hard to understand.

    New Star Wars movies confirmed (NO SPOILERS!)

    Unless i googled some parody, it looks even more of a procedural movie generator output than the previous couple of movies.

    News Raspberry Pi computer, is it rational?

    Meanwhile, i've been sorting through my pile of old boards, and marvelling just how many revisions of Raspberry Pi there was. The earliest one i got is revision 0002, with serial number starting with 101 (still 6 digits, however). Got a few of revision 000e, which looks similar, but behaves...

    News Raspberry Pi computer, is it rational?

    There are quite a few motherboards with embedded CPUs out there at that price range and less. I.e. GIGABYTE GA-E3000N is $35. Add in some RAM and a PSU, and you'd get a working system as bare as RPi is for about $50. Also, they can run Windows, which most people would expect from a desktop PC...
