You can get around the memory ordering issue if you only emulate a single core. Performance suffers but for many legacy workloads performance is not critical.

In an alternate reality, the prime meridian could have been chosen to pass through Florence, making 180° and the edges of the world map pass cleanly through the Bering Strait.


Would be sweet if it could use the microphone to auto-tune the speakers by playing audio and listening to the result. Microphones are not perfect but a cheap microphone has much better frequency response than cheap speakers. If you assume the microphone is perfect you will get a pretty good result, probably better than a generic "laptop speaker" preset would be.


Omnidirectional electret mics are nearly dead flat right out of the box, and cheap.

You need an omnidirectional mic.


I was shocked when I imported a 1.5M row dataset into Office365 Excel and found that it had silently cropped my data to 1048576 rows. One million items is a ridiculously low limit for a modern computer, and deleting 1/3 of my data without any warning is unacceptable. 20 years ago Excel could handle 1.5 million rows without breaking a sweat but this webpage version isn't real Excel.

So I used Gnumeric instead and it worked fine.


Excel has a limit of 1M rows now just like it 20 years ago.

The 2003 version had a 64k row limit.

I agree with what you write though: limit could be increased + webpage version is pure garbage.


The Indo-European speakers invaded from the north.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-Aryan_migrations


There is a difference between invasion and migration though, AIT has long been debunked, the current consensus is AMT


There are many historical events of Indo-European speakers invading India from the north, like Darius the Great, Alexander the Great, the Mughals. AIT refers to a theory from an earlier time period but rejecting it does not rule out subsequent Indo-European conquests of the region which surely contributed to the spread of Indo-European culture and language southward.


But the advent of Indo-European languages in Northern India (let alone Southern Sri Lanka) has nothing to do with Alexander or the Mughals.

The Aryan Invasion Theory was propagated by the British to justify their colonial brutality, and no self-respecting historian will now call the gradual Aryan migration an invasion. The only people who still do are usually trying to achieve some political aims, usually imperial apologia.


Why are you being down voted... By the time alexander showed up India had spoken an indo European language for thousands of years.


People don't like getting their dogmas challenged, especially when it comes to their Fathers' sins.


His first sentence is reasonable. The rest of the comment is unhinged.


> The theory of an immigration of IA speaking Arya ("Aryan invasion") is simply seen as a means of British policy to justify their own intrusion into India and their subsequent colonial rule: in both cases, a "white race" was seen as subduing the local darker colored population.

That doesn't explain Sri Lanka which is past South India...

Edit: The actual answer is North/Eastern Indians speaking an IE variant immigrated to Sri Lanka in the 5th/6th centuries and became the dominant language there since (Sinhala)


Could it be that Sri lanka is an island


Sri Lanka only became an island like 500 years ago. It was a storm in 1480 that disconnected the passable land bridge that once connected it to mainland India.


Sri Lanka's been inhabited for over 100k years.
