   Report: Rush Limbaugh taken to hospital
   The radio talk show host has been vacationing in Hawaii
  
   A Honolulu television station was reporting Wednesday night that radio
   talk show host Rush Limbaugh was taken to a hospital with chest pains.
  
   KITV reported that paramedics responded to a call at 2:41 p.m. from
   the Kahala Hotel and Resort where he is vacationing.
  
   The station, citing unnamed sources, said paramedics treated Limbaugh
   and took him to The Queen's Medical Center in serious condition.
  
   Queen's spokesman N. Makana Shook says the hospital is unable to
   comment on the report.

I've seen similar reports from various sources.  Too bad we probably
won't be seeing hours of eulogies in popular media like we did with

with MacOS X both derive from Ritchie's work on UNIX and C).

This could lead to some rather esoteric deadpool quips, though.

There's another similar Katrina forecast discussion from earlier on the
same day archived here:

Which is part of a friend's Forecast Discussion Hall of Fame page:

Fortunately most of the items archived there are more light-hearted.

say anything about him.

(But also stay for the big musical number at the end of the video.)

By the way, for just over five years now I have greatly enjoyed Tim
Goodman's (mostly) weekly TV Talk Machine podcast with Jason Snell:

https://www.theincomparable.com/tvtm/

There are even archives of the original TVTM episodes from the
Chronicle days available on that site.

Episode 240 likely to come out later this week should be a doozy.
There might even be some continuation of TVTM after Tim leaves The
Hollywood Reporter.

Didn't happen to me (also using Firefox, but also blocking a lot of
stuff with NoScript) but I've found that Reader Mode often helps reveal
content that a bad site design wants to hide from you like that.

Moore's law is that the number of transistors on integrated circuits
doubles about every two years, and not about the speed of computers.

the Bastard Machine runs again

[Steve VanDevender]

Since I first heard about Tim Goodman, and his cranky pants, and the
Bastard Machine on this list (from repostings of his SF Chronicle
columns), I thought some of you would be interested in this news.

The Bastard Machine is being fired up again, via this Substack.

https://timgoodman.substack.com/p/welcome-to-the-bastard-machine

Also, the TV Talk Machine podcast that went on hiatus in May 2020 is
returning, with a new episode posted today.

It's only the number of bits, not the ordering, that affects the
largest number that can be represented by that many bits.  Use your
pinkie for the most significant bit if you want.  Or your middle
finger.  "I got your most significant bit right here!"
