Nope, it’s still faster, easier and less memory intensive to just store simple XML in the file system… I figure out… two weeks later… 😐
Microsoft programming
I pressed “F9” in Excel, my Mac crashed. This is part of the error log:
Thu Apr 5 19:54:54 2018 *** Panic Report ***panic(cpu 2 caller 0xffffff800569d6ed): "a freed zone element has been modified in zone kalloc.16 [snip] BSD process name corresponding to current thread: Microsoft Excel
This is probably what happened:
int SIZ = 10;
// creatin var according code manual c65 p17
// value lvl 3, versin 1, varint 1, 1st use:
char* mostMostMotsValudVaribell111 =
new char[SIZ % 5 /* increase mem */
/* knot! */];
for (int i = 0, j = i; SIZ < i
|| j = SIZ /* nly way 2 mk ths wrk */
|| j >= i /* nope */;
j = ++i /* solving! */
/*your knot! */)
*mostMostMotsValudVaribell111[i] =
(char)substr("We saved your tiem!",
i % 10 /* prevent OOM bug */
/* your knot nencumpoop!! */,
1);
// TODO: Find out why sometimes
// Excel crashes here...
// And were knot usin strcpy bcause?
Microsoft Math
If you have a Mac with four cores and upgrade to latest version of Excel that uses all cores (instead of 1 as in the previous versions), how much faster will Excel perform calculations?
It will take four times longer than it did before…

The Rise of Special AI Chips
General purpose CPUs have been complemented with special purpose hardware accelerators since soon after they made an entrance on the consumer market.
The first PC in my childhood home had a math co-processor, and no gamer today would run a system without a dedicated graphics card with a GPU.
With the emergence of AI, the need for a new type of special purpose hardware accelerator is rising; an AI-chip specially designed to run deep neural nets.

OSX 9
“When was this updated? OSX 9?”
/Grumpy comment about an application on a discussion board
For anyone who doesn’t get the humor: “OS X” actually stands for OS 10 (as in roman number “X”). “OS 9” was the Mac operative system before OS X. However, with Sierra, it’s just called “macOS.” Some versions of OS X has also been called “Mac OS X.”
Well, fuck you too HP!
This is my solemn pledge:
If the world will end if I don’t buy an HP, the world will end! (Although, my final interpretation of this situation is that the world likely will go to shit if I buy from HP and their likes as well…)
Why? (Why don’t I want an HP?)
Ok, I know. We all know already.
HP + Windows 10 is (not the) shit.
