  • I came to terms with getting old a very long time ago. Being able to play games at a high level requires hand to eye coordination and dexterity that sadly degrade as you age. It’s not surprising that top players are younger. It’s exciting to hear that a younger generation is picking up a game from my early adulthood. What’s even more wild are the ones competing in games like Tetris, a game from my childhood.














  • My dog reacts very poorly to “Okay, Google”. I’m not sure if it’s because of the response from a person that he can’t see, or that in the past I’ve yelled at the phone to stop when it won’t stop listing. But every time I say “Okay, Google” now he gets up and goes into his crate. He does the same when I talk into my Google TV remote too, so I assume it’s the response from the Google Assistant that he finds so troublesome.





  • The actual news release has a bit more information.

    The team discovered that a single chip responsible for storing a portion of the FDS memory — including some of the FDS computer’s software code — isn’t working. The loss of that code rendered the science and engineering data unusable. Unable to repair the chip, the team decided to place the affected code elsewhere in the FDS memory. But no single location is large enough to hold the section of code in its entirety.

    So they devised a plan to divide the affected code into sections and store those sections in different places in the FDS. To make this plan work, they also needed to adjust those code sections to ensure, for example, that they all still function as a whole. Any references to the location of that code in other parts of the FDS memory needed to be updated as well.
