I worked at a mall Radio Shack in ‘98-‘99. A Gateway store opened up at the other end of the mall. This being the times they were, Radio Shack had partnered with Compaq to sell P2 …

> Most OSS software favors power users instead of total beginners. And even Blender is not a great exercise in discoverability. You need training to use it. I think it’s more subtl…

Why is this marked as 1998 when it references Khan Academy and Go, among other things?

Did they ever put its photo on the side of a milk carton?

Nice! This warms my heart — I used to make a Mac GUI app for SSH tunnel management back in the day. https://codesorcery.net/2009/12/04/meerkat-15-great-ssh-tunn...

One time?! That's amazing.

> Next year I'll definitely be planning an out-of-town vacation for the 4th to some location with firework restrictions. Then like me you can just worry about whether some dipshit …

I've had a 2016 150cc LXVie in silver with maroon leather since new; have put about 6,000 city miles on it. It's a wonderful machine. I bought it when my wife died after we had tak…

I have one! It's fun for retro PCs that don't have speakers or a mic, as it provides everything you need right there without having to setup the Altec Lansings. Also LOL: > it has …

USB floppy drive on the modern computer side. I do this for old machines.

How do you mean “these kind”?

Tried it today. Don't think it will have my comments, but I'd probably have to write a custom thing to fetch those anyway. I have about 6,000 photos on there so I'll see what happe…

No, because I am dealing with this right now. I stopped paying for Flickr Pro after 20+ years and can only download my photos in bulk as 1024px resolution in order to get back unde…

I too learned about 9/11 on the radio. I was driving to work, had stopped to get breakfast, and when I got back in the car and started it up, my in-dash CD hadn’t re-started yet an…

I visited Athens in 2006 shortly after the Olympics were held there and the city had been refreshed. The Syntagma Square subway station did exactly this, with layers of archaeology…

I'm reading on that resolution right now! MacBook Air 11" running Linux that I use as a quick hacking/reading machine in bed.

This scourge is so bad. I drive a 40 year old vehicle and a friend created an aftermarket adjustable headlight frame allowing it to move from all-in-one rectangular headlight/high …

The more time goes by, the more wondrous the recollection of my grandfather (1909-2006) telling me about growing up living across the street from a livery stable (i.e. horse commut…

Ok, anyone care to gather at a coffee shop so that we can discuss the print version?

Still using mine for occasional hacking, running Mint. Gets about two hours of battery. Great keyboard.

I've been trying to learn Scheme lately by way of schemesh[1], which strikes me as a very clever integration of Scheme into a shell. My favorite parts are that you mix Scheme and s…

I visited this museum in Antwerp in late 2023 as part of a trip there and to the Amsterdam area. The museum is fantastic and fascinating. You can also operate a real printing press…

Rosyln.

You're right, ever since we developed trucks, trains, and ships that run on pure atmospheric air, we haven't had to worry about pesky price fluctuations on every physical object th…

AI is pretty good at pulling from the body of existing solutions of what the right thing to do is.
