mwahaha! Americans encountering our unfiltered, brutal, German efficiency ... you better start learning how to pack your groceries at the checkout at German speeds ... see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LfkwjJdITA
We have a place called WincCo here that has a divider. The cashier sends your groceries down one side and when they are done ringing your stuff up they slide the divider over and send the next persons stuff down the other side while you bag yours.
There is no Nobel Prize in Economics. There's only the "Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences" which was established in 1968 by a donation from Sweden's central bank.
While it's not a prize listed in Alfred Nobel's will, the Academy and Foundation refer to it as a Nobel Prize and announce the laureates together with the winners of other prizes. So I would say it is legit.
The Peace prize was given to a man who was actively bombing people, I don't think the Nobel organization's prestige is anywhere near what it was a few decades ago. Sad that it departed from what it once was.
Usually by people who want to give it credibility it doesn't deserve. There's probably a reason no science felt the need to name their price almost like an existing in the hope of being associated with it.
No, there was no "X" prize that was adopted by the Nobel Foundation. They were offered a donation to fund the prize in the area of Economics, and they did. The prize itself has always been run by the Nobel Foundation.
It may not have been one of the original Nobel Prizes, but everyone who matters, including the prize-issuing organization itself, considers it to be one of the current Nobel Prizes. This is no different from, say, the Olympics--would you not consider snowboarding, boxing, weightlifting, wrestling, or volleyball (to name some of the most popular current events) to be Olympic events simply because they were not part of the first games in 1896? Conversely, should croquet and tug-of-war be considered Olympic sports even though they haven't been part of the games for over a century?
is this guy aware of the Mega65 Project ( http://mega65.org/ ) which actually already has working machines, a case and is on the brink to begin mass production?
Like I wrote before. 2 different computer with 2 different approaches...
I don't know why people come back with this comment... Like one 8bit music creator will stop creating music because someone else is doing it too?
What's up with that?
Great to see a follow-up to our Gigatron computer!
I wonder what you will use for video generation in the C256, because the greatness in 8-bit gaming came from these chips. So you'ld have to differentiate there or run the danger of becoming yet another retro knock-off (well, the merits of compatibility should not be underestimated. Most of the effort will be in software otherwise). For the Gigatron it was ok to have limited video effects, because its insanely low chip count was its primary objective: so we have no tiling, no hardware sprites and no color indirection. But we do have indirection per scanline and you can do neat things with that, such as the bending road in the Racer game.

Yea, I have a similar project, I've heard this so many times...
English doesn't have a third-person gender-neutral pronoun and traditionally uses "he" when the gender is unknown, so it isn't really surprising that people, at least English speaking people, assume "male" until they know otherwise.
"They" and "Their" are perfectly acceptable as gender neutral pronouns. A stickler might object, but also bear in mind that in English there's no "proper" second person plural ...
You’re describing a historical norm, but it’s one I feel is rooted in a historical bias. Men ran the world and defined the word “man” to mean a person of any gender, but that was always an act by men. I’d like to see this kind of bias removed from our language, and it takes individual choice to make that so.
It's an easy trap to fall into. I'm looking around my office here and I can count about 20 men and 5 women. When I was in university the ratio far more male dominated. It's unfortunate that such an imbalance can make things uncomfortable for women (e.g. oafishly gendering things as male) in the industry sometimes.
as a Kraut: if you start now, you're practically too late. It will be interesting to see which major corporation will face the fine of 20 million Euro or 4% of annual turnover the first.
