I remember way back when, there were ports of SDL 1.x to djgpp. Glad to see someone still cares.

I say this as someone who likes and use TinyCoreLinux and PiCore, there are some mind numbing ways TCL makes immutability work. I chalk this up to Linux and immutability being sometimes in contention with each other. Lots of Linux code make assumptions paths being writable.

This looks interesting. Thanks for sharing.

I had the same inclination back in the 90s when I upgraded my Cyrix 486 SLC2 50MHz without a heat sink (which seems like a no-no in retrospect) to Cyrix MediaGX 133MHz. The stocker fan was immediately noticeable. I thought I had done something wrong.

Upgrading and Repairing PCs 4th edition even says directly, that some shady resellers will put a heatsink on a chip that they're running beyond spec, but that Intel designs all their processors to run at rated speed without one.

I had a PC with an old PII or PIII cartridge.

The cpu and heatsink was fully integrated into what looked like a NES cart, with an integrated fan and everything. It was not really possible to separate the cpu and the heatsink as the locking mechanism to keep the cart in place on the motherboard interfaced with the heatsink assembly.

So I'm a little dubious of that no-heatsink claim.

I've never seen a Xeon without a heat sink, I don't believe they are designed to run without one.

Indeed, even the oldest, slowest Xeons shipped in SECC cartridges with integrated heatsinks.

But that was several years after the book cited by the GP was published (1994, shortly after the release of the original Pentium).

Ah I missed that on my first read, was more focused on the claim at the end of the sentence. Thanks.

The first Xeon looks to be released 1998, so sounds about right

There’s several other (well) known examples of the use of mujs.

There’s Artifex’s interpreter from muPDF. It’s also the basis of several JS related projects: https://mujs.com/

There’s also a lesser known interpreter: https://github.com/ccxvii/mujs

And IIRC, there was a CommonJS library of the same name.

Thanks for the list! Yes, the name is used by several projects. Mine is the browser navigation one — hopefully the "µJS" name, the .org domain and the use case make it distinct enough.

Maybe you’re misremembering or referring to Doom (2016). The original Doom was developed for DOS and id had to build a lot of its own network stack. BSD style socket based networking wasn’t a given in DOS.

Still, zclaw is an impressive achievement.

   I don't feel like RedHat had to do anything to sell support contracts in this case, because that was already their business. All they had to do was say they'll include container support as part of their contracts.

Correct. Maybe starting with RHEL7, Red Hat took the stance that “containers are Linux”. Supporting Docker in RHEL7 was built-in as soon as we added it to ‘rhel-7-server-extras-rpms’ repo. The containers were supported as “customer workloads” while we docker daemon and cli were supported as part of the OS.

   What they did do, AIUI based on feedback in the oss docker repos, is those contracts stipulated that you must run RHEL in the container and the host, and use systemd in the container in order to be "in support". So that's kind of a self-feeding thing.

Not quite right. RHEL containers (and now UBI containers) are only supported when they run on RHEL OS hosts or RHEL CoreOS hosts as part of an OpenShift cluster. systemd did not work (well?) in containers for a while and has not been ever a requirement. There’s several reasons for this RHEL containers on RHEL/RHCOS requirement. For one, RHEL/UBI containers inherit their subscription information from their host. This is much like how RHEL VMs can inherit their subscription if you have virtualization host-based subscriptions. If containers weren’t tied to their host, then by convention, each container would need to subscribe to Red Hat on instantiation and would consume a Red Hat subscription instance.

I think STL was the intent.

On aliexpress, there’s Pi Pico Dev dev boards featuring the RP2350 in the Pi Zero form factor.

Thanks for the pointer!

Yes. 486 with 26MB for MicroCore (cli) or 46MB for TinyCore (gui).

Thank you!
