What matters is how easy it is to create an out-of-order implementation of an ISA, there isn't a 680x0 equivalent of the Pentium Pro.

Well, there's the 68080 - the modern FPGA-based 68k chip designed as an upgrade for Amigas - but that did arrive quite a bit too late.

I could see a market for hybrid supercars if cities go further on being clean air zones, enough of a battery to let the owner drive slowly around Knightsbridge.

I drive a bit more than you at 4000 miles a year but most of that is outside the UK so would like to see more details on the recent proposals to tax electric cars on annual mileage.

Current petrol car is 13yo so will need replacing eventually.

The wikipedia page doesn't list Italy as one of the countries where they are produced.

Whereas the article and Nestlé themselves state there is a production site in Italy:

  Swiss food giant Nestlé says about 12 tons, or 413,793 candy bars, of its KitKat chocolate brand were stolen after leaving its production site in Italy earlier this week for Poland.

You overestimate Wikipedia.

The author has been using AI for other Lisp projects.

He's been also doing Lisp projects before GenAI, so…

Yes, but it seems to me like atgreen takes care to ensure the result is decent, so I would hesitate before calling it slop. I may be wrong, though.

Can put panels on walls too.

That engineer didn't give up for very long, he designed a different 32-bit machine for Computervision fairly soon after, it is featured in the AMD PAL book from the early 80s.

I wrote a hypertext system that created dialog boxes on the fly and used the callback for the custom object type to implement links.

You can do a lot of stuff with the system as it is since it does expose a lot of its internals (and when you need to replicate functionality, there isn't that much in there to replicate so it is perfectly doable), but my point is that it wasn't as flexible or capable as Windows 1.0.

It wasn't just Microsoft's marketing skills that made Windows overshadow GEM, it was also that Windows was genuinely a better product - both from a technical and a functional perspective.

> GEM on the PC was... ick... compared to on the Atari ST.

It was fine on an Olivetti M24. Same screen resolution and colour as the ST, Logitech mouse plugged into the back of the keyboard.

Windows were only fixed in the desktop application, you could still move and resize them in your own apps.

Didn't know, thanks for pointing that out. Never used GEM outside Atari, just something I read at the time.
