This is local to the device though. Nothing to do with the WAN. Would still work even on the "serverless" ipv6 network.

The Z80 instruction set lives on via the eZ80, Z180 and others which are binary compatible with the original Z80 instruction set. Unfortunately Zilog stopped making the 40 pin DIP package a couple years ago so yeah this specific board will be hard to source. You can still find them on gray market, mostly ones that have been desoldered from existing boards.

Even if you made a version of this board with the footprint changed to the QFP eZ80, it probably wouldn't work because the eZ80 has different memory mapping and clocking differences.


The Z180 has however had its PLCC packages discontinued. Personally, I find SMD CPUs to not be appealing for these sorts of projects, even if the Z180 is a great chip.

Really, the best we can do with the NPU is a less battery intensive blurred background? R&D money well spent I guess...

They can't realistically do this in Germany because the tracks are so much more busy than the US. There would more than likely be a train coming the other direction within the next few minutes, and they cannot guarantee all the people have time to vacate the track area.


Right, but Germany has stations every few miles. Here in America the next station might be hours and hundreds of miles away. Better to stop ¼ mile away instead; people will hardly know the difference. The point is that if for any reason they cannot reach the station then they’ll always stop at the nearest safe place instead. The crew always have an alternate stop.

For really long construction work they’ll actually build an entirely separate train station, like they did in Denver Colorado a few years back. They knew that the construction of the new station downtown would take a few years, so they built a really cheap platform a few miles away on a siding and moved all the arrivals and departures there for the duration.


TCO is not just for parse trees or AST, but in imperative languages without TCO this is the only place you are "forced" to use recursion. You can transform any loop in you program to recursion if you prefer, which is what the author does.


Don't forget about UIOP (Utilities for Implementation and OS Portability) which is part of the ASDF project. Also very easy to type!


Sample of 1, but the hidden gem near me I would actually consider a "hidden gem" that only people from the area know about, and it's a very good family run business.


> Following the plea agreement he was sentenced to 8 months in prison and fined US$250,000.[6] Lee was subsequently promoted to President of Samsung Germany in 2009, and then President of Samsung Europe in 2014.

Lmao he got rewarded for taking the fall.


Was in the room working for a hardware company during the offshoring phase of high tech manufacturing

Offshoring was 100% because of antitrust concerns. Copyright landlords and hardware manufacturers were concerned with Americans and their morals also having the skills to create endless competition.

American workers compensation prize was endless hustle jobs to distract them from political revolution.

The olds don't care if the kids end up unskilled knowledge serfs, fuzzy VHS tapes of outdated academics. The olds will be dead.


99% of releases do NOT fix zero-days. But 100% of releases have a small risk of introducing a backdoored build-script.

There's nothing wrong with pinning dependencies and only updating when you know for sure they're fixing a zero-day (as it will be public at that point).


Yes but "atomic" operations with the DMA engine are accomplished through interrupts (atomic) or memory mapped IO configuration (atomic).
