When doing feature detection for execution path selection, itโ€™s sometimes useful to run some quick benchmarks to see which path is objectively best.

Now we have two-ish implementations or x86, but back in the 1980s and 1990s we had quite a few, some with wildly different performance characteristics.

And, if we talk about ARM and RISC-V, weโ€™ll have an order of magnitude more.

And this is why the price for Twitter was, in the end, remarkably low.

You could estimate when the object was labelled by the coordinates used.

But where is the Greenwich meridian for the Milky Way?

Iโ€™m concerned not everyone have their base colors set sensibly - as in โ€œthereโ€™s no guarantee the base garish RGB green is green on this machineโ€. Maybe the right thing would be to put the color closest to a base color on the corresponding corner of the RGB cube, but thatโ€™s also not ideal - I have had terminal palettes that were all green or all orange/red, or the green/yellow of EL displays.

Maybe applying the saturation of the base set across all the generated palette would also work.

As for coordinates, donโ€™t forget galaxies are clouds of stars flowing around and interacting with each other.

If we think of the many worlds interpretation, how many universes will we be making every time we assign a CCUID to something?

Aren't their APUs sufficient for a gaming laptop?

It's forgivable, as long as it has A LOT of style.
