We're not talking commie blocks here, nor macmansions, which is what passes for top-of-the-line in a disappointingly large segment of the US.

Well, the likes of Wordpress make this a bit of a mixed bag. It still publishes multiple feeds in multiple format, with what proports to being an RSS feed actually being a Frankens…

You don't have to convert anything to XHTML5. You only need to do that if you specify type="xhtml" on an element, but you can use="html" and escape the markup. RSS has this behavio…

It's almost like every release is just basically advertising.

It wasn't really the hardware's fault though. It was crippled by Commodore's marketing department wanting to maintain compatibility with the VIC-20's 1540 FDD, which meant that the…

Not really, and it's still more error-prone than Atom. There's really no good reason to use anything other than Atom.

And so it begins...

Sound trackers actually originated on the C64! Chris Huelsbeck's Soundmonitor is generally regarded as the first tracker. There were plenty of others, such as Electrosound, Future …

Hah! I never noticed that, but you're right! For those interested in how the Wizball soundtrack should sound, the best place to go is DeepSID: https://deepsid.chordian.net/?file=/M…

I'm not sure about Ocean, but a lot of companies used the Tatung Einstein, itself a 64KiB machine, as a development platform. I would assume that the software used for building thi…

That sounds nothing like any of the Wizball or Game Over tracks, I'm afraid.

Plenty, but these days mostly if you either (a) want a simple implementation or (b) don't have to worry much about cache locality. The problem is that (b) doesn't really exist outs…

There appears to be nothing linking Old English "git" with Modern English "git". Also, OEng "git" would've been pronounced more like "yit".

But originating on Unix in '81, and thus predating Lotus 1-2-3 by ~2 years.

It's a tool with a long vintage, and it wouldn't make sense to port it to a different language just to take advantage of the likes of bubbletea or textual.

I misread that acronym as TBDN, which made me wonder why they'd bought The Beef and Dairy Network podcast...

Germany has a population of ~87,000,000 though.

The US is not in a position to process much of the sweet crude it has. Instead, imports sour crude, which is what much of the US's refineries are actually built to handle. This is …

Well, that's the first shoe dropping. Thankfully uv and ruff are MIT licensed and in a good place, so worst comes to worst...

Oil stayed more or less steady, so yes, it did.

The 'sell electricity to Ireland' bit here is doing an awful lot of work. It's more complicated than that. For those who don't know, Ireland operates an all-island grid, and EirGri…

Oh yes, the bastion of truth that is the Daily Mail. Sorry, my eyes just rolled out if my head.

And even then, I'm not sure it's apples to apples, at least if by Rego you're thinking of OPA. CEL and Rego take very different approaches, with CEL being quite procedural, while R…

No, they're equating _Turing completeness_ with _might not terminate_. CEL, Expr, Rego, and other languages like them are intended to guarantee to complete. You can't do that clean…

It's not really a configuration language like Jsonnet and CUE. It's an expression language for specifying things like conditions and policies. You _could_ abuse it as a configurati…
