I think I would have instead changed the name to `marty`, who, in time, learned to think fourth-dimensionally.

I like the ideas of this article but would not use SPARC as a main badguy in my examples. A naive and probably popular takeaway would be, "Thank goodness I am not writing for SPARC…

I went through elementary and middle school using MECC software on Apple II, and of course had no idea at the time what a treasure it was. My generation was at the beginning of the…

Truly, the SE was a great phone. It was not really "rolled in" to future phone models; it just ended.

Tangentially related, if anyone has Sun nostalgia but only a bit, find a Sun Type 6 USB keyboard on eBay and plug it in. Great keyboard for a Mac. Unfortunately, the left-hand func…

I agree, it looks like an IBM-mediocre version of every other LLM coding tool that currently exists.

Definitely not the grandson of Microsoft Bob.

(Please don't downvote - serious question) Are Chinese models generally accepted for use within US companies? The company I work for won't allow Qwen.

LibreOffice almost seemed irrelevant; with cheap to free (*included) tools in abundance, such as MS Office, Google Workspace, Apple Pages/Numbers/Keynote, the need for LibreOffice …

Carriers both land/VoIP and wireless must attest to having fraud mitigation measures; this is the "Robocall Mitigation Database" and in Cape's record they exempt themselves from ST…

I need an agent to summarize the buzzwordjargonsynergistic word salad into something understandable.

In 2021 I speculated on IP and acquired a /23 block by ARIN wait list. I figured on running some services from the IP space for a while and after the 5 years mandated wait time wou…

Around 2010 I ditched Perl for PHP because I had been using PHP for web and could write the same systems scripts in PHP as I used to write in Perl. Sticking with one go-to language…
