Darn vague memory but - Yes. Keypunch machinesâ"such as the IBM 026, IBM 029, and IBM 129â"allowed operators to duplicate an existing card up to a specific column to correct errors or edit data without re-entering the entire 80-column sequence.

It's a step function price shock that'll adjust at a stable price. If enough leave there is no point in owning the IP, doubt they'd open source VMware. All it takes, which AI makes easier than ever, is a workable alternative with an easy button. Have done a little proxmox - just attach to an ESXi machine and suck 'em over.

Sure, seems like with the blessedly secular higher education driving themselves crazy we will have all these different schools of thought dedicated to their own peculiar name for and interpretation of the nameless one popping up all over. Conservatives have been coming up with their own private education institutions for a while.

I recently downgraded from Cable 800MB to starlink. Simply because for some reason at 2pm EVERY SINGLE DAY my ping times with charter would go from around 30/ms to 100-1000/ms and it lasted for a few hours. I work from home and that was unusable. The only other "broadband" available was starlink. So now I'm much slower in the 100-200MB range, but overall we haven't noticed much difference.

So I'd say, yeah, you don't have to go all the way up to gigabit to be considered broadband.

but that's going to have to run on a motor spinning 25fps in the other direction. It could work if frictionless was possible though. I wonder if gyroscopes, low friction and a counter prop like a helicopter would make that feasible.

i was thinking something similar, then I realized that with a 25fps camera, it's made an entire rotation in the time the aperture was open. I was thinking more about taking pictures OF the drone. But if I was designing some automated machine to attack this thing, like another drone, putting a 120fps camera on it would give a decent picture of it. that's only about 1/5th of a rotation. Tracking software doesn't need to get a perfectly clear picture to track something.
