Torching the @InternetArchive & the @WayBackMachine is akin to burning the Library of Alexandria and wiping our digital memory - at a moment when media corporations & the government want to hermetically seal us in a bubble of their propaganda.
We can't let this happen.

In the 90s, Hitachi came up with a bizarre way to conserve memory bandwidth.
Their SuperH architecture, intended to compete with ARM, was a 32-bit architecture that usedโฆ16 bit instructions.
The benefit was really high code density. If you can fit twice as many instructions into every cache line, the CPU pipeline stalls way, way less.
This was *really* important for embedded devices, which were often extremely bandwidth constrained in the era.
Sega famously used the processors for the Dreamcast, and ARM actually ended up licensing their patents for Thumb mode!
I think perhaps the weirdest thing about SuperH was its concept of โupwards compatibilityโ. The ISA itself is a microcode-less design, all future instructions were trapped and emulated by older chipsets.
Itโd be slowโฆbut you could run future code on very old chips! Very neat design, a massive success through the 90s and 2000s, that slowly faded.

@emkenobi It's darkly amusing that nobody misses him outside of the absolute worst people.
On the flip side the people who miss ANDOR are the real ones.

If we had a beautiful place like this here I would go for walks in it every day.

These companies want their artists to have a degree from a 200k prestige art school, years of experience, and an exceptional (relevant) portfolio in order to get an entry level art position- but they donโt even have the decency to keep us on for more than 6 months at a time.

Disney is laying off over 1,000 employees, including nearly the entire Academy Award-winning visual development team at Marvel Studios. Only a skeleton crew remains to coordinate hiring on a per-project basis. (forbes.com/sites/robsalkoโฆ)

I am proud to be one of the 100 journalists who signed the letter defending the @InternetArchive's essential @WayBackMachine.
Corporate news outlets now trying to block archival preservation of the news is a betrayal of the ideals of journalism.

ICYMI: "Danne and Blackburnโs futuristic 'worm' NASA logo, their use of Helvetica throughout, and their preference for sleek, spare standardization conveyed 'a feeling of unity, technological precision, thrust and orientation toward the future.'โ
