I remember when I first learned about the difference between spatial and frequency domains. I didn’t actually get it fully during class. But during the walk home I had to stop and …

Damn.. images of glossy PC Magazines that I used to read are filling my head.. growing up in the 80s & 90s with computer building and reselling as the family business, and just bei…

if only i could open a terminal session on another computer somewhere and have it continue running even if my laptop goes to sleep... hmmmm... i'm sure no one has ever thought of t…

twinBASIC and radbasic are two projects trying to clone it. But it's definitely harder to do than either anticipated. I still support VB6 apps (some of which are bumping up against…

It's very hard for Phish fans to only provide ONE example. :-). I will try to limit my suggestions to only 3. This is a version of "Sand" from their trancey period and I would thin…

I use Notepad++ on WINE and it works very well, doubtless it could be done on macOS too.

It’s a full band improvisation when at its best not just guitar noodling thank you very much

"Classic" was never very stable to begin with, and seems to be getting less stable every monthly patch cycle. Decades-old problems remain unfixed, and "new" Outlook still doesn't h…

You absolutely can run 32bit Solaris in qemu SPARC emulation. 64bit is not there yet unfortunately. But definitely dd this and get it virtualized!

I stole this handle from GLS many many years ago and I use it pretty much everywhere. I guess I just love the idea of metasyntactic variables, and using that phrase whenever anyone…

At least they've updated a public site like https://status.cloud.microsoft so I can show this to all my clients who are calling (most of them can't login to the admin portal, which…

Yep they are great! Wireguard support on Linux too

Sure, but how the heck do his adopted kids factor into this?

Ah, classic nihilism. I first encountered it in high-school literature class reading Turgenev's "Fathers and Sons". Good times. (Of course now you'd probably get a quick TikTok exp…

It's true, though I try not to do this, I really try. But it's so easy for some kids (like my 11-year old firstborn) to just go play Roblox or Pokemon or watch stupid shorts on You…

I laughed all the way through this, it's brilliant.

The best song that starts off with that quote: https://youtu.be/UryTypo2qeU?si=CdTPe0ufnktLB_6i “ I Should Be Allowed to Think” by They Might Be Giants Change a couple words here a…

seconded, that's some classic linnell right there!

I found someone's solution that actually does seem to work, even if it's hacky! https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1640434/... and https://gist.github.com/SelimBas…

My problem is I support so many applicants which use MAPI calls to create emails to Outlook, and they haven’t and may never add support for MAPI to the web-based version. I kinda t…

Because no one cared enough to write them. The Rust people started their work years ago and have a lot of people interested in doing it. You know, the same as how it’s always worke…
