Alternately, hold the power button and either volume button together for a few seconds.

I like this approach. Something related I've been tinkering with are "protected bookmarks" - you declare what bookmarks (main, etc) are protected in your config.toml and the normal…

I'm glad you shared this because, in my head this Dr. Nick quote is so canonical it must be from the original golden 8 seasons, so it's nice to be reminded there are occasionally g…

In that case, each county that corresponds to that ZIP Code is shown and the user can disambiguate manually.

For example, health care plans in the US are county-specific with regard to premiums, co-pays, etc. (based on demographics). Allowing someone to type in their ZIP Code to get start…

One thing I just recalled is that if you maintain a small exceptions lookup table (i.e. the ones that span state boundaries), you can use ZIP Codes as a way to uniquely look up a c…

This is a fact of ZIP Codes that a lot of people stumble one. I've worked on GIS/mapping projects in the past where stakeholders wanted or assumed ZIP Codes to be polygons. Another…

Similar timing, I had a high school internship at the National Cancer Institute at Ft. Detrick, MD in 1994-95, and the lab down the hall had some SGI iron and a glove (I don't reme…

Aside from the Liquid Glass stuff, has anyone detailed the changes to the Unix bits of the OS? What's new, deprecated, moved, locked-down, etc. ... ?

Another good rule of thumb to remember is that a 50mm lens on a 35mm sensor ("full-frame") is roughly the equivalent FOV of the human eye, i.e., what you see naturally.

It's a great point, and I did consider it, the trouble is, how do you get the pattern resource data out of ResEdit running in the emulator and onto the modern machine? And ResEdit …

OK, wallpapers are on there now - tap/click on the virtual display after picking a pattern.

Oh, good idea. I'll add them to the showcase site shortly. https://paulsmith.github.io/classic-mac-patterns/

Huh, sure enough: https://www.lyonlabs.org/commodore/onrequest/geos/lobster-64...

Exactly. One of the cool things about doing this the hard way was discovering that Apple still hosts old system and programmers manuals like the one for QuickDraw on its website.

Interesting - what's the provenance of this? Is this a leaked copy of the System source, or a disassembly/decompile?

> My favourite is the wide weave one (#15) Same, that and the bubble one #36 have so much personality.

Yeah this is what keeps me from considering old PCs for NAS. Maybe stating the blindingly obvious but seems like there is a gap in the market for a board or full kit with a high ef…
