I remember being flabbergasted when I worked at the open source development lab and we got our first itanium system in, a multi-core, multi-rack nec system, with its own windows pc…

if you're into MUD history, I ported the latest source I could find from SillyMUD to work on modern systems: https://github.com/jerrysievert/sillymud it was quite a bit of fun, and…

while I haven't seen them at parks (I just don't make it to any), I have seen them at Star Wars events at my local MiLB team - BB-8 in the size of your video, somewhat interactive …

that was one of the unfortunate rebrandings. datsun was an amazing brand, and I understand in hindsight the focus on Nissan, but they had such opportunity!

datsun had 5 speed manual transmissions in 70-71.

heck ya! I often have electric minivans come up next to me that have the "nod". I typically snort back and let them take off the line - they're a ton faster than me, but I'm the on…

when I became old enough to drive, my parents decided (in the family tradition) to purchase me a car. apparently, the options that my father chose from were a 1982 Honda, or a 1978…

> iPad OS on recent iPads has a dead simple "limit charge to 80%" option in system settings. MacOS should just have the same feature. is the optimized battery charging option in se…

most of the 80's and 90's? around 1998, I was working at a regional ISP, my main workstation was a sparc 5, but I had picked up a conversion box from ps-2 to sparc so I could use a…
