What is going on at Microsoft? Did anyone ask for this? How about they make search work again and not use 4 Gb just turn turn on the computer?

Ha, those are crazy. I was thinking of something with tons of buttons and axes. It looks like people are making those though https://www.svg.com/113674/untold-story-insane-game-controller-ever-made/
Do you know how that compares to USB today? I assume those need ADCs and some sort of digital logic, which overall is similar to midi. I assume that whatever USB is doing is much simpler though, still making midi more expensive. Maybe not though, and we're missing out on some crazy joysticks?
That's nifty. If I understand this, the advantage of a joystick using game port instead of MIDI is much simpler hardware. The game port seems like a sort of ADC which means the joystick needs only very simple analog components. A midi joystick would need those same analog components, plus its own ADCs and some digital logic for midi comms. Without the need in most games for dozens of axes and buttons, the extra cost and complexity wouldn't be worth it.
I did find this though, if someone has midi stuff and wanted to go wild. https://github.com/c0redumb/midi2vjoy
Did joysticks actually use MIDI or they just use the same port? You can program so many buttons with MIDI. You could set up an entire cockpit on one device.
Generations were a fad in the 90s where you'd hear something about some such generation every day. Then for the most part, people stopped talking about this pseudoscience nonsense. Although, like horoscopes, they never really went away. But I don't get how we're back a nearly useless model of behavior being a daily part of conversations.
What is this from? It looks like a large version of the app selector on Android.
No kidding. Carlson is a terrible person, and this writing is nearly as bad. I thought Mother Jones was at least somewhat respectable and wasn't expecting this garbage.
Maybe they'll help people sort out the difference between "affect" and "effect".
I visited for a few days once. If you like the outdoors, the parks in the surrounding area are nice. Camelback in the city is packed and not particularly fun.
Overall, I found that Phoenix was not at all a place I'd like to spend time. You might try Sedona just a little north of Phoenix. I haven't been there, but I hear it's not Phoenix, and in general seems more aligned with the things you mentioned you like.
Yeah, and the risk of death with euthanasia is even higher!
I did this in a project and someone later came and changed them all to .h, because that was "the convention" and because "any C is valid C++". Obviously neither of those things is true and I am constantly befuddled by people's use of the word convention to mean "something some people do". It didn't seem worth the argument though.
