I have a non-shallow clone and the .git directory is less than 3GB.

Oh, maybe I had a full clone on my laptop before I started doing shallow fetches, but since fetching takes quite a while I've been using a shallow clone on my workstation.

Probably a typo, unless the author really has 8gigabit network


Quantum Fiber provides 8gbps, so it's not unheard of.

Mildly surprised to see critical darling Shadow of the Colossus as low as position 40 (though at 91/100 not a bad rating).

I suspect many PS2 games were mostly written in C or C++, which greatly simplifies things. Games that used the interface libraries from Sony for e.g. managing input will greatly simplify things as well.

One notable exception is the Jak and Daxter games, which were written in GOAL[1], but have their own recompilation project.

If a motion adaptive 3d comb filter (which requires comparing successive frames) was present on a TV, you can bet that it would be plastered all over the marketing material for the TV.

Or Is this the real life? / Is this just fantasy? / Caught in a landside / No escape from reality

This is a lot of print on the question of why a specific lake was chosen as a location in a poem, and it happened primarily because of the prominence of the poem in question. I imagine that there are many poems deemed less important that could also stand such scrutiny.

36 years ago: A Wyse branded AT clone 12.5MHz 286 with 1MB of ram, a 10MB hard drive and a Hercules graphics card (it was a decommissioned CAD machine from my dad's work).

Do cars even still have distributors? My last 3 cars have been coil-on-plug...

I prefer 3-in-1 as an all-rounder.

I've grown to dislike the smell of 3-in-1. It's not awful, but once it gets on the skin you smell it for hours, even after washing.

I've started using M-Pro 7 gun oil for the same tasks. Not that it solves world hunger or anything, by I always have some around, I don't end up smelling volatile organics for the rest of the day.


3-in-1 is pretty unpleasant, I agree. I use it as a cutting fluid for drilling steel mostly and it's not any nicer when hot. Perhaps I will try some of your gun oil.

Best smelling shop liquid I've yet encountered is Marvel Mystery Oil. It's amazing.


Pluses and minuses as cutting fluid. It's not sulfurized or chlorinated, like actual (and lower cost) cutting fluid. On the other hand, the vapors are non-toxic, being mostly polyalphaolefin synthetic oil, and it likely is better than 3-in-1 as cutting fluid for adhoc use, if only due to significantly lower vapor pressure and higher flash point.

Try Ballistol, it’s so good!

Came to post this; Ballistol works brilliantly; and can also be used as a leather conditioner, wound dressing, & marinade for carne de cheval, with the addition of some juniper berries and a little rosemary.

The best all-rounder is Ballistol. Smells way less than 3-in-1 and performs great!
