This seems quite nice. Simple bit-shifting of the 16-bit ID gives both the index into the array of 16-bit words and the bit in the word and allows up to 65536 bitflags. This makes …

90% of everything is crap. Perhaps AI will make that 99% in the future. OTOH, maybe AI will slowly convert that 90% into 70% crap & 20% okay. As long as more stuff that I find good…

I think there's a profound difference in the aural vs. visual experience. For me, imaginging songs, "hearing" an earworm, even for songs in other languages, I think I'm using my in…

Just use Godot ( https://godotengine.org ).

Strangely enough, at about the time this macOS update came out, the virtual USB hub in my Win7 VM (Fusion 11.5.7), which I run on a Catalina (10.15.7) Mac broke. This is after year…

Note to self: Don't stand under trees this summer.

Why doesn't anyone mention real estate agents/agencies when talking about housing prices? When I bought my first home in the early 90s it seemed like a confidence game back then an…

Maybe it's time to start putting the "Cloud" in orbit.

I have the same issue, but I don't see the same thing. I have bookmarks set up with URLs like your first set: company1.sigin.aws.amazon.com ... But as soon as I click one, it gets …

You're right, I was skim-reading it as a few thousands (and jumping to conclusions). Not sure what's going on with that dip. Edit: It would be interesting to compare this to an up-…

Thanks for posting this site. I was a bit confused by the recent dip in this chart: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/TOTLL2564 Until I realized it's likely due to COVID-19 deaths…

"... if that really is your name."

What a great title! Also, that Great Tit photo definitely reminds me of those old "Big Game Hunter" portraits.

Might want to ask current students about those classes first. My experience with community college math developmental classes was: "Go to this AV room, watch these videos, do these…

I wasn't even thinking about local term vs. remote until you mentioned it, but you're right. I guess it's because I don't use a Mac very often and when I do I don't usually have a …

Thanks!

Pease test ZOC Terminal: https://www.emtec.com/zoc/ . I use it on Windows, like it very much, and don't notice any lag. I'm wondering how it compares to the rest of these on a Mac.…

Also, "Starting Forth" by Leo Brodie is the earliest computer-related version of teaching with comics I can remember reading. It came out around 1981 and you can find an online ver…

Amazing that after all this time it remains inedible.

Jeez, where's the tribute page/retro-computing documentary on this guy? I remember these pages fondly from a decade or more ago and I have looked for them from time to time in the …

"Over the air updates" via wi-fi? For an oven... I'm feeling a little luddite-y.

Wow! I don't mean to be mean, but that's a terrible layout/unreadable mess of a webpage.
