The 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s had the cool Dutch Hobbyscoop broadcast about anything technical related to audio/radio/computing.
One of their broadcasts got preserved at [Wayback/Archive] Hobbyskoop – YouTube.
A cool inclusion thing is that the main presenter for almost two decades was a woman named Ingrid Drissen who is still alive and still makes great presentations including ones about tech and science.
The were the initiator of Basicode, a crossplatform way for many 1970s and 1980s computers to save, load and broadcast BASIC programs over audio via FM and AM radio sometimes nicked an Esperanto for computers.

This is from a long time ago [Wayback/Archive] Does Delphi support all MMX/SSE instructions? – Stack Overflow:
Delphi 2007 supports the MMX and SSE instruction sets. Certainly, Delphi 2010 and XE support up to the SSE4.2 instruction sets (but so far no support for AVX).
The [Wayback] Delphi 2005 Language Guide explained a bit, but no more recent PDF is available and the [Wayback/Archive] Embarcadero/IDERA Documentation Wiki is very much outdated on this information as per [Wayback/Archive] Talk:Assembler Syntax – RAD Studio:
Re: “Instruction Opcodes” The information on available instruction sets is outdated. D2010 and Fulcrum support the SIMD instruction sets all the way up to SSE4.2 (i.e., SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1 and SSE4.2).

A great visualisation that LLM are basically a bunch of numbers: [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – dabochen/spreadsheet-is-all-you-need: A nanoGPT pipeline packed in a spreadsheet.
It also shows you that Excel is an excellent tool for working with numbers and formulas on a larger scale.
(note the file is a .numbers file developed in the Mac version of Excel)

Sometimes normal html tables are better suited than the more style friendly div tables, as they better suit the underlying data and are easier when you need column or row spans using the colspan and rowspan html attributes, explain semantics better, and … display as tables even without styling!
Converting from div tables to normal html tables is not as straightforward than from normal html tables to div tables.
So here are some links that helped me with both div tables and the conversion:
in case someone needs to convert on the-fly:
var div2table = $('.outer-div ').map(function () { var issue = $(this); var trline = issue.find('.inner-div').map(function () { return '<td>' + $(this).text(); }).get().join('</td>'); return '<tr>' + trline; }).get().join('</tr>');
div2table = '<table>' + div2table + '</table>';where divs are
<div class='outer-div'><div class='inner-div'>this will be 1st TD</div>.....</div>
You could use JavaScript to create a
table, loop through all the.rowand.columnelements in thedivto popultate it, remove thedivand append thetable. Here’s something I threw together very quickly to get you started. (I commented out the line that removes thedivso you can see both in the results).

Many articles have been published on the Google Leaks earlier this year including a Twitter Thread by Henk van Ess. I will mention his and the original starting article which should give anyone hand and feet to dig deeper and assess for themselves how fast Google might be able to change this and get a feeling on much of it is still relevant over time.
A final note: I wasn’t aware that Google search used the Elixir (programming language) – Wikipedia. Cool!

Hopefully Gitlab can do this: [Wayback/Archive] 🔎Julia Evans🔍 on Twitter: “what’s an easy way to release the code of a project without allowing issues / pull requests? An archived github repo is almost like this, but it doesn’t seem to let you push new commits (I sometimes have code that I want to let people view but don’t want to maintain in any way)”
[Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “@b0rk @MrSwats In a lot of features, GitLab is way ahead of GitHub especially on fine grained settings. Of course this means it is way harder to configure. You can for instance organise your projects in hierarchies and configure access control on each node.”
Though GitLab has other drawbacks:
[Wayback/Archive] __ian__ = RfcReader() on Twitter: “@jpluimers @b0rk @MrSwats Gitlab has no way to disable commenting on commits or blocking assholes though, so 6 of one, half dozen of the other” / Twitter

Een onbekend fenomeen voor velen, maar als je olie of vet op lappen, keukenpapier of dweiltjes en dergelijke hebt zitten dan kan er zo maar brand ontstaan.
Die brand komt door broei. Broei is als vet of olie onder invloed van lucht steeds warmer wordt en dan uiteindelijk zelf gaat branden of de lappen/keukenpapier/dweiltjes/etc in brand steekt.
Broei versnelt als alles opeengepakt ligt maar er toch voldoende lucht bij kan komen.
Uit onderstaande linkjes zijn er zijn grofweg drie mogelijkheden om dit te voorkomen (lees de linkjes goed door om te bepalen wat in jouw situatie het beste mogelijk is):
