I was so impressed with remove.bg in Dec 2018; awesome to see the progress in this area, so cool.

I wonder if self-driving cars and massively improved safety will solve this. 5 kids in a car, held, seated, seatbelted, any-which-way. Like on a train.

Ahh BBS's: where I learned the difference between a local call and a "local toll call" (parents were not happy)

Me too! With Sendkeys and some Win32 API calls, I wrote an AOL add-on (available through Keyword: addons) called AoLOL!. It was my first software business. Q: How do you identify t…

This is awesome, great work!

Remember Accompany.com and Mercata and other group-buying websites from the 90's dotcom boom? Time for those again?

Nielsen's "Usability Engineering" was my FIRST EVER Amazon.com purchase in June 1998.

Ha, reminds me of XTREE GOLD, from the late 80's / early 90's. A time where the default file explorer was unbearable.

I absolutely loved VB3 thru VB6!

Roblox studio. My son is a sound designer for some of the top games there. He's also learning programming in Lua for Roblox platform. It is a small community of mostly kids aged 15…

And car driver. When I heard about how Tesla was training it's AI - without describing objects but instead through direct observation - it reminded me of Heinlein's "Door Into Summ…

Also might be useful to some: in Google Cal, you can show a secondary time zone on left hand side. Mine shows PT and CT for example.

Ha, back in 1995 I could HEAR in advance when my PC was going to crash. I could tell from the certain crunching / grinding sounds of the hard disk. I could hear it and think "Uh oh…

From Heinlein's Waldo & Magic Inc, a fun and worthwhile read (and audiobook)

Nice work, very cool!

I used VB 3.0 thru VB 6.0 and I echo the sentiment: those were fun and productive times. Really solid integrated development environment centered around the desktop UI / form desig…

Wow this is surprising

Ha, that scene is how I learned to program. Built a shareware tool called AoLOL! (available by going to keyword "Addon"), $14.95, got paper checks from all over the country! Then I…

We learned about affixing a camera to the data input / output LED's on a network interface card and by doing that capturing the ENTIRE data stream.

I learned about this exact exploit in my computer security class at University circa 1999 or 2000: "power LED is connected directly to the power line of the electrical circuit"

It's like traversing a bad "mega menu." Did you know that "double-click" on early Windows literally meant "click the same pixel twice in rapid succession"?

Very cool, great work!
