Meh. If you have two coins that are nominally worth the same but one is actually worth more - because it can, in a pinch, be melted down for a valuable resource - I wouldn't call t…

So, what happened to all of these? I feel like a multidimensional spreadsheet would be a great alternative to things like MS Access.

As way-too-often, I think the solution should be a good IDE. There is nothing stopping your IDE from completing "foo" as "module1.foo" and offering "module2.foo" as well if it exis…

Serverless is about running functions this is about distributing their code. I agree that there is some overlap but different problems are being solved.

Has anybody made a list of [Insert Thing Here]s? I'm curious what kind of trade-offs they offer.

I miss this. Web pages were just data not programs.

You can't say generative art without saying demoscene.

Just reading C-c C-f C-b is an issue for me and I haven't even tried to remember and type it yet.

How about we use a raspberry pi as a definition of an "old" machine? It's the most popular low powered system. Which distribution would you use?
