Not really anymore, their silicon is impressive but most users I would guess don't use it in any meaningful sense. If hardware is your main goal as a customer, you're building a machine with better hardware.
The biggest strength of Eshell, for me, is that I can maintain some sanity in Windows environments (with or without WSL). In linuxland, it's a tougher sell. Compared to term-mode and the others, Eshell hacks better and I can fine tune my tab completions. The best thing is that my keybinds integrate better across all emacs modes when I use eshell.
So I was about ready to rant about bloat in modern software, but I checked first: the new edit.exe for Windows is 260kB. The old editor for DOS 6.22 was actually provided by qbasic.exe, which had the editor and a full BASIC interpreter packed in 250kB. Edit.com was just a tiny wrapper.
This isn't bad at all given how most other software evolved in thr the intervening 30 years.
I remember first finding out about Edlin in 2003 while reading DOS for Dummies by Dan Gookin. Experienced a lot of anemoia that day. That short section about Edlin was the most touching part of the entire book (probably because it took place before the DOS 5-6 / Win 3.x era which already felt old).
I love this. Shouting into the void with the distinct feel, hope that if the idea was popular enough, it'd be brute forced back to existing.
I noticed that the input is not being treated any way before hashing. I'd remove all non-letter characters, and then lowercase everything before hashing to help with some unnecessary misses.
I'm still using Firefox and loving it actually. Other browser engines don't support "zoom text only" anymore so my options are limited. And to my knowledge, there's nothing as good as uBlock Origin for those webkit/blink based browsers...
Yes, Firefox constantly introduces new degradation in UX but so far they always offer opt-out mechanisms for even the most obscure things...
Whether he invented 24hz or not, the film was shot with that in mind, is the point. Just like the lighting of black and white films was very different because of color limitations, or the mannerisms of silent films were different due to lack of dialogue or sound other than a musical track.
I don't know what kind of a joke you tried here, but I think a vast majority of TV screens can be put in game or PC mode, and all the input lag and stupid picture processing goes away. I run a 43" LG 4K TV as a PC monitor and never have I had a (flat screen) monitor with a faster response rate! My cinema TV is an old FullHD 42" Philips that has laughably bad black levels. I run it also in PC mode but the real beauty of this TV is that without further picture processing it produces nice and cinemalike flat color that is true to the input material that I feed it. Flashy capeshit will be flashy and bright, and a muted period drama will stay muted.
In linux it tends to be a nonissue.
