How about some of the PC “clones” that used older dumb terminal components and ports, probably to ease upgrades on accessories for some corporations. Our computer lab in college ha…

I have noticed the problem on a few different days this week including right now (Oct 24 @ 14:25 EST). From what I see, the issue is the API url ( https://api.pinboard.in ) timing …

However, on mobile iOS Safari there’s no standard way to trigger a tooltip that I’m aware of.

Same at my University in the mid-90s. I was the CS department network admin and we had an entire /24 to use as we liked. At least it taught me how to detect attempted hacks early b…

I think basically it’s the Scientific Method in action. Use the best evidence until even better evidence is presented.

“If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.” - Neil Peart, Rush, “Freewill” 1980. Sorry.. as a fan I couldn’t resist.

Same here. Trying to type anything on that thing (especially copying the code out of magazines) was just horrible. Edit: just remembered something that made it even worse than just…

I assume you looked into Accutane treatment? It has worked wonders for multiple people I know.

Back in the day I upped the RAM and put a set of virtual machines on our VP of Marketing’s laptop with copies of our staging server, db, data… the works. He just started it up and …

This actually can become a problem in the future. Here in Montgomery County, Maryland there was an old rail line converted to a bike path but always with the intention of adding li…

I often point out an anecdote from my early e-commerce days in the late 90s where a customer wanted in-store pickup like everyone else they saw on the web doing. But they just had …

Yeah I was starting to use PCs during the Apple II era so we didn’t have 8 inch disks anymore by then in my house. But I do remember seeing them in labs with VAX systems. But those…

Oh please tell this old Genesis fan some more. Gabriel was a very forward thinking musician from a technology perspective. See this clip for his demonstration of an early sampler […

This is similar to how they would broadcast film on television in the early days - using a Kinescope. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinescope

I would love to see how you’re doing this. Could help a lot with Docker builds as well.

See if you can find a mirror of Yahoo from 1996.

Add me too. Let me know if you go ahead with it in the US.

I was in the BBS scene in Baltimore in the mid-to-late 80s and totally relate. I think about some of the things I used to pull off on an Apple //e and then a 286 PC along with scho…

You obviously didn’t have a Novation Apple Cat modem that could wardial random 5 digit calling card codes for 3rd party long distance carriers. I really hope there are a few other …

Where are you studying Music Tech? What was your undergraduate background? I’m curious if you found a formal tech education is as important in what today is often more an applied a…

I would suggest that giving religious institutions tax-free status in the US is a form of subsidy. That’s why it’s such a problem when they begin to preach in a partisan manner.

Am I missing something but if the paradox effect cannot occur, then there would be no point to trying to change the future if one goes back in time. Thus destroying the plot lines …
