I've never quite understood the nature of this criticism. At best I'd describe it as deeply intellectualized tribalism. But I think I'm being a little too kind.

There was also iwantsandy but that might be a bit too obscure now!

I feel like everything has become a wasteland of whitespace. JIRA is a prime offender here.

I worked for a company that had a fairly large OpenVMS installation and had to make the transition from Alpha to Itanium. It required a considerable amount of work and the early it…

While that seems helpful it would not be enough. Consider this as a counter example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Olympic_Games

While that's true - it does not impute Ed's position with greater accuracy or authority. I don't know if Ed is wrong, but I get this vague sense that he is being led on by his emot…

Maybe you read this, maybe you don't. You got a seat at the RegNMS table, but its serving food you don't actually want to eat. LTSE has been at this for 5+ years and its still at t…

I think there is large gap between what you think LTSE is - and what it actually is. And yes, I know its your baby. Its similar to the kind of gap that exists within the minds of w…

I'm of the opinion that the LTSE was built by people who didn't understand market structure which is why it continues to struggle. I understand the idea that they were after, but i…

I understand the value of things like a seed bank. But in no way is "their knowledge" (which I think is an overly generous use of that term) - acting in the role of a knowledge see…

I am clearly in the minority in these parts. I find it intellectually alarming (but not surprising) that someone would say something like "[the north sentinelese tribe] are doing t…

Some day autisim, neurodivergent and ADHD can join that illustrious list.

My experience so far is that the tapes themselves are fine - but the required hardware/technology stack to extricate them is the real question mark.

It depends on what you mean by default and whose default. You can change your own defaults quite easily! Changing the default setup with emacs that has been shipping for > 30 years…

I think you've got this backwards! I've been working with computers since an Apple ][+ landed in our living room in the early 80s. My perspective on what AI can do for me and for e…

No, its not. And I gladly flagged it. Redirects set to: talk.politics.misc.

I had a similar hunt for iMovie to extract video off of MiniDV which required some FireWire to thunderbolt cables. In any event I did find the install on archive.org. May have what…

Its like a modern day redux of zombo com.

I see the YouTube recommendation engine found you as well. :-)

Glad to see I wasn't the only one! That Super Monkey Ball game on the GameCube was just amazing.

Oddly enough, the YouTube recommendation engine served that one up to me too.

At first I thought it was about this. https://github.com/bcpierce00/unison
