@design_RG Concerning mesh networks

I think server decentralisation is up next.

So yeah, anti bloat is gonna be a thing soon.

@design_RG Isn't it funny how war accelerated the growth of so much technology?

I think the history of computing is essential if you want to be an efficient coder.

@design_RG

okay so the register of the concerned machine was built into the instruction set.

5 bits for the command
13 bits for the track/sector location of the operand
13 bits for the track/sector of the next command’s address

command | operand | next address | some weird index

@design_RG Is there such a thing as Memory Porn 😅 .

Looks beautiful

@design_RG

I understand this.The basic concept, Quite well actually. You store a 1 or a 0 on a transformer, or in the case of tape, you magnetise or demagnetise a line.

That is not a problem for me.

But what I am looking into right now is how the registers worked.

It seems the registers were well, registers that held the location of all sets of instructions.

So if you wanted to process code, you would have to refer to the register to know what is where. And align the head accordingly.

But this also means that registers need to have a mechanism to talk to loops and modify themselves according to the loop count.

so it seems like registers also needed some form of memory to be able to do that.

I dont know if this sounds like gibberish

@tuxcrafting

Bootstrap and Semantic UI are giving you the stink eye.

@sufi

You're a bot aren't you?

@design_RG @Incindia

Yeah it seems so.

---------------

You have gotten yourself in trouble by exposing me to the workings of a drum computer.

If I don't figure out how this registry mechanism works on my own, I gonna bombard you with a lot of questions.

Mel was doing what musicians do on Logic and Ableton. The offsetting instructions by one point and forcing the drum to make an entire loop so that the previous instruction has time to process is near genius.

It's a samurai who knows his sword better than the creator.

@tuxcrafting

Oh my, i don’t know much about systems engineering.

But i did hear that there are quite a few startups that have invested heavily in this architecture.

Is this really doomed from the start? Or just a pain in the arse to implement?

@freemo @design_RG

@stux @KnottedBow

Yup.

Hammer and Sickles Everywhere.

The platform is open to everyone and its usage doesn’t depend on wether or not you’re paying or non paying.

It is a fair system.

But an emoji is a perk. Having it or not having it doesn’t affect the way you can use the system. It doesn’t affect free speech.

All it does is burden you and create stress.

Hammer and sickle systems fail eventually.

Your efforts have a price, please demand it.

@stux

How about pay per emoji ?

5 dollars per emoji haaan?

@KnottedBow

@stux

Just make a tutorial on how to make emojis or if its available online put up a link for it on a pinned toot.

Don’t spoon feed the community.

Tomorrow they will ask you to wash their clothes and change their diapers aslo 😅

(But can non admins even make emojis?)

🔸 The Profane story of India’s Rafale Deal.🔸

🛩️ 🛩️ 🛩️ 🛩️

India is in dire need of Jets. Out of the mandated 42 squadrons, the Indian Air Force (IAF) effectively has only 29. It is still making do with Mig-21s and Jaguars. Yes the same Jets that have been resigned to flight schools and museums. India doesn’t really spend much on defence. (But India shot down a Pakistani F-16 with a Modernised Mig-21, so atleast the pilots are in good shape.)

🛩️ 🛩️ 🛩️ 🛩️

The Rafale Deal with Dassault Aviation, was an effort to replenish the IAF’s depleting Inventory. But this deal did not happen in one set of talks, but two.

▪️ Round 1 2013
-----------------------------------
The first round of talks by Congress govt, was for 126 jets in 2012. This deal required Dassault to manufacture 108 Rafale in a Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) facility with Technology Transfer. The french didn’t like this. With a breath that stunk like foul cheese they said:

“Sacrebleu, Zis is Insaniteee, Je suis Desole, We khanot manufacture zis piece of art in your union riddled sweat shoppe. Mon Dieu. Take mee away fom zisss. ”

They said if they were to manufacture it at HAL, they would not give warranty.

This back and forth continued for sometime and three years passed. No deal, No jets. The cheese was in the curry, and people hated it.

▪️ Round 2 2016
-----------------------------------
Realising that the IAF, is now dangerously underarmed, Narendra Modi, the current Prime Minister did the unthinkable.

He flew to France on a Sukhoi M-30, and landed onto a french chateau, where a grand orgy of French generals and Government officials was taking place. He barged inside and saw that the French were screwing each other, while eating rotten cheese and drinking wine. They barely noticed him.

Until. Narendra Modi unzipped .. and pulled something HUGE out.

There was pindrop silence in the room. You could hear a few wine glasses shattering and some blocks of cheese hitting the floor with a thud. “Mon Dieu” . They saw something. And they all wanted a piece of it. It looked big and sure to cause some pain, but they were up for it.

Out from his just freshly unzipped dossier was a new deal.

The new deal demanded only 36 French Manufactured Rafales with heavy customisations for India, delivery to start within 2 years, a weapons package and a performance logistics system.

It had a slew of offsets that mandated that 50% of the deal amount will have to be spent in India. It should be used to manufacture/purchase defence equipment, and be invested in Research at DRDO(India).

(The vehicle for this offset was a private partnership with Mukaesh Ambani’s Reliance Defence. It was called Dassault Reliance Aerospace Limited (DRAL). This entity arose after due legal process, tendering, bidding, market analysis etc.)

The french loved the deal and gave their approval by holding hands and having a weak synchronised tantric orgasm.

The Italian Rahul Gandhi saw photos of the event: Modi with naked french people and he burned with Jealousy. “So what if my shotgun is sawed off a little too much. Thats no reason to keep me out” he said. He vowed to take revenge for not being Invited and malign Modi with frivolous law suits.

🛩️ 🛩️ 🛩️ 🛩️

I will soon post about how the media tried to distort the financials of the deal.

Stay tuned and Boost if you liked it.

Hope the French users don't rile up a storm coz of my crass, unfunny humour.
