And he didn't even say that they intend to actually do it. . . That statement of itself is a statement of intent ... but it's true that it has not been confirmed ... yet ... Stephen :) |

That post was posted on Posted: 1 Apr 2020, and it says "We will have to replace the RAC>1 requirement with a total credit requirement. We may also have to come up with an endorsement process to allow new users."And he didn't even say that they intend to actually do it. What position do you hold that you can question the statements of a gentleman and a scholar. |

It was a statement of a need to do something. Not a statement of intent to do it.And he didn't even say that they intend to actually do it.. . That statement of itself is a statement of intent ... but it's true that it has not been confirmed ... yet ... |

That statement of itself is a statement of intent ... but it's true that it has not been confirmed ... yet ... I'll chalk this up to unfamiliarity to colloquial use of term for a specific dialect of American English. This sounds more like an indirect order to his crew to put this on their list of TODO items. This is just the way we talk. "Have to" pretty much equals must, so that reads: We must change from this to that...loosely speaking. Edit* I don't believe he would throw the last 20 years of his life away to only a select few people. He has impacted a few million people in a lot of ways, and I think he wants to keep sharing that with all of the people. It does no good to limit yourself to a few attaboys from a few higher ups, when the collective group of people can send praises which the higher ups will also read. |

Looking at the RACs of recent posters here, I don't think any of us are in danger of being silenced by a RAC of <1 any time soon. It can stay at the bottom of the 'ToDo' list for a while longer, even if it's a very long list indeed. |

Looking at the RACs of recent posters here, I don't think any of us are in danger of being silenced by a RAC of <1 any time soon. I still have 3 days on my slowest box, and two on my big one, I got lucky and picked up a download on the 26th. Maybe we'll get lucky tomorrow after the maintenance period, and they'll do another round of whatever they did last time. But I agree. There are bigger things to worry about like finishing any tasks in our caches rather than worry about the way something was worded. ░░░░░░░░░░░░▄▄░░░░░░░░░ ░░░░░░░░░░░█░░█░░░░░░░░ ░░░░░░░░░░░█░░█░░░░░░░░ ░░░░░░░░░░█░░░█░░░░░░░░ ░░░░░░░░░█░░░░█░░░░░░░░ ███████▄▄█░░░░░██████▄░░ ▓▓▓▓▓▓█░░░░░░░░░░░░░░█░ ▓▓▓▓▓▓█░░░░░░░░░░░░░░█░ ▓▓▓▓▓▓█░░░░░░░░░░░░░░█░ ▓▓▓▓▓▓█░░░░░░░░░░░░░░█░ ▓▓▓▓▓▓█░░░░░░░░░░░░░░█░ ▓▓▓▓▓▓█████░░░░░░░░░█░░ ██████▀░░░░▀▀██████▀░░░░ |

This is the longest one I've ever seen. 'Nevermind I lost it. Had the wrong link in my buffer, and lost the page, not looking for it again, but had like 6 or 7 inconclusive on it. |

I think it's suppose to be a 'thumbs up'. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." ![]() |

Hell... we were wasting electricity and internet bandwidth for useless tasks of (already) validated workunits... And now it's ASCII art and pictures of gestures... Some efficiency improvements are urgently needed: 👠( 3 bytes...) ;-) Ah... and some server issues from time to time or a prolonged outage.... Seems there is no reason for panic mode anymore. |

I agree, looks like that to me. Also, that looks to be using an old character map as used to be used on old 8-bit home computers. Really! Has s@h been ported to anything 8-bit?!

👠( 3 bytes...) ;-)That's 4 bytes, not 3. Nitpicker! ;-) Yes, you're right: 4 bytes (0xF0 0x9F 0x91 0x8D). I misinterpreted the HTML coding: 👍 |

Also, that looks to be using an old character map as used to be used on old 8-bit home computers. Really! Has s@h been ported to anything 8-bit?! It's from IBM PCs extended ASCII (CP437) line-drawing symbols. All merged into Unicode today. Maybe somebody wants to 'draw' some GUI with ASCII? But I'm sure s@h can't be ported to any 8 or 16 bit CPU. These cannot address enough memory (okay, in theory you could replace memory with time...) And without hardware floating point instructions, crunching would take forever. I'd assume a machine capable to run s@h classic requires at least a 486 DX (with FPU) and a mainboard/chipset capable to support at least 32 MB RAM. I remember upgrading the RAM of my old AMD 486 DX2/80 MHz back in 1999 to test crunching a s@h WU (~6 days CPU time). |
