Sometimes you simply ignore asking why and sit in awe of the what of it all. Impressive and nostalgic.

Robert's cover art set the tone for each issue. His covers danced a fine line between whimsical and informative.

Interesting that accessibility was not a theme (watched the online video, not the presentation). I'm interested to see what some low-sight folk might use this. Go shopping and have…

And some positions allow you to vote for "up to" some number of candidates. Town selectman is a typical example.

First thing that came to my mind was something doing garbarge collection (obviously not RTOS).

GitHub / GitLab pages? No RSS feed, but a popular way to share lists.

I'm also curious as to what is tiresome running as a regular user. I'm a developer and run two users (standard/admin) without any issue. Only issue I run into is having to switch t…

Still my "go to" day-to-day text editor. My favorite editor when I used a Mac Quadra and my favorite editor today. Thanks Rich!

Have two copies, one for each ScanSnap S510M connected to a Mac. It simply keeps working.

Been doing a lot of internal documentation with Gilab pages, Sphinx, and Myst (markdown for Sphinx). There are pre-built templates for the Continuous Integration for rebuilding the…

Worked at an OEM and Microsoft charged a license fee for every processor out the door regardless of whether the system had DOS, Novell, or nothing at all installed.

Python 1.4: Desktop payment applications. Simple cgi-based dynamic website. System management scripts. Early Plone websites. Asynchronous desktop applications using Twisted.

It's not like there's not 42 different flavors of Linux...

And wild carrots (Queen Anne's lace) look remarkably like poison-hemlock. Some people also have a dermal reaction to wild carrot as well.

I've been using the SecretLabs Titan chair for a few months and am very happy with it. May be larger than you're looking for. https://secretlab.co/collections/titan-series

Happy to see another satisfied BBEdit user. Been my go-to Mac editor since Mac Plus.

Some of my tests have dozens of parameter sets with a half-dozen parameters. Getting those all aligned with individual 'each' statements would be interesting.

EVs run on the same roads and bridges that non-EV cars use.

Tornado has retrofitted async/await into the framework so you can use standard async modules. The advantage I find to using frameworks like Tornado is the number of protocol edge c…

Possibly the first step towards the ability to rename a column?

I've been using Scribo (scriboco.com). In addition to sending files, I can request files from a third party. Includes document signing and payments (which I've not used).

And DynDNS was definitely down.

A mistake I still occasionally make today is: a = 123, # expecting a to be 123, not (123, )
