It's what everyone uses, anyways. The other versions have their own pitfalls.


Still holding out for UT1 code to be officially released.


It's not the original source, but https://github.com/dpjudas/SurrealEngine is an active reimplementation of UE1.

I'd have Secure Boot, and then one root for an user-modifiable regular Linux installation, and another root that is read-only, signed, custom kernel etc.

Yes, you're right.

I pointed to this BMJ reference because in the article there is the following: "To help drive down our ApoB, we have statins which do miracles for lipid management. Some people believe that everyone should be on a statin so long as they don’t have adverse side effects."

Most statins prescribed today are not for secondary prevention.

A lot of doctors prescribe a statin immediately on seeing just one measure of "high" LDL without looking at any other parameter or context.


Yeah, for each level of cardiovascular risk (in America, probably calculated with PREVENT) there is a target LDL which should guide whether you should start or not a statin.

I got to know UNIX (or rather Linux) about 12 years later. And TBH, I wasn't very impressed. I was like "oh, you have to do all that on the console". That's how green I was :D But then it caught me, and about a month later it was more "WOW, you can really do everything on the conole!"

What eventually helped me to really get into things was Linux From Scratch. If anyone wants to learn how a modern system works under the hood, and like those guys in the article know the very basic, minimal things that keep a system running, I can recommend it very much: https://linuxfromscratch.org/

I've memorised most of the 1st-page instructions - in octal - and it's easier than it sounds.


Originally, yes. These days, not so much. It's "whatever bit confetti was necessary to squeeze in all the opcode/operand bits".


By "these days" you mean "since AMD messed it up".


Obviously not.

Even if you dislike the REX prefixes of AMD64, you've got to think about the 66/F2/F3 prefixes used for older SIMD instructions. They were introduced by Intel and basically contribute to more opcode bits. There's also the 2E/3E prefixes used for static branch prediction hints in some Pentium 4's (and also in new/upcoming Intel CPUs). VEX is from Intel, EVEX is from Intel, and the upcoming REX2 is also from Intel.


REX is horrible because they occupy two full rows of what were otherwise very useful instructions (inc/dec), and there were other gaps and less-useful instructions (segment override prefixes? If segmentation doesn't work in AMD64 mode, what's the point?) in the opcode map they could've used instead.


personally, I hate the AI pivot. could barely find a way to make a project without the vibecoding option, recently


Pivoting to AI made Repl.it worse but Warp.dev better.


I'd use Abbas' Immunology as a standard textbook and Sompayrac's How The Immune System Works as a more straightforward, lean book on the immune system.


As someone who played vanilla Deus Ex several times, I disagree. GMDX introduces a _lot_ of changes, and will not give you the same experience on a first playthrough. It's pretty good, though.
