At one point Burroughs did the same thing, there was a chip version of the Burroughs A Series processor. Soon after Intel chips became much more powerful and they could run a software emulation.

Actually in the US the dealers have their own queue and workers. Not sure why these people didn’t know how that works.

I have the same thing. You can find a variety of drawer pulls that work for you. I used ones that have ends sticking out. That way I can wrap the excess cable. They are called Bar Pulls, and mine have a 1” extension on both ends.

Can you say more about outlines in older versions of word? I use Word2019 (local install) and it works for me. What am I missing?

Just watched Mountainhead about this very topic. The AI videos were good enough to start wars, topple banking systems and countries. It is very scary because the "tech-bros" in the movie pretty much mimic the actions of the real

> uv is an extremely fast Python package and project manager, written in Rust. Is there a version of uv written in Python? It's weird (to me) to have an entire ecosystem for a language and a highly recommended tool to make your sy

I always wonder when I see all these best notebooks / note taking systems, etc. why people don't spin up any of the dozens of wiki servers. You can put it online so you can get to it anywhere You can run it off a stick to keep it

It's very cool. Love the Winamp and Doom throwbacks, it was fun to play Doom for a little bit. Congrats on the Webby nomination!

Your best bet is the pocketmod site: https://pocketmod.com/ I use the offline version of the pocketmod program, I create a 8 page doc, print in PDF, then pocketmod changes that PDF into a single page that can be printed an

A Pocket Mod is an 8 page book. I use two pages in Calendar format for big events, ie Birthdays, dinners, doctors, etc. My calendar is pretty much set for the week. There are 4 pages that cover the weekly schedule, 2 days per page. There

I use pocket mod and make a custom 8 page todo/calendar that I use every day. It works well for me, but I’ve also adapted my life to the way it works.

The key takeaways are that there are lots of people involved with making these breakthroughs. The value of grad students is often overlooked, they contribute so much and then later on advance the research even more. Why does America look on

I would love to find Decaf cold brew, but it seems the only way is homemade. I do miss coffee after 20+ years. I grew up on “field engineering blend” where it poured like 40 weight motor oil. Ditto on getting older sucks, but I’ve been to

> A row with too many cells has the superfluous cells ignored. Ummm, how do you figure out what row has too many cells? Can all the rows before this one have too few cells?

I bought Lego on Tuesday at the Goodwill on Philadelphia Pike in Wilmington. So you just need to look on a regular cycle.

Exactly, it scary to wake up and see your yard full of “Free Gaza” supporters while a team of executives from Kiewit Construction are knocking at your door.

I fixed giving “napkin” or “rough estimate” times out. I roll a D6 for number of people, D12 for number of months, D20 for the day we will go to production ( not allowed to do installation during end of month). D% is used to say how accura

I still like using Lua as my .ini file data source. I can use a wide range of inputs from numbers to tables. Parsing the file is easy, and getting it into another program is less work that trying to add a parser.

Now I'm sad. It reminds me of this chart that shows that 10 companies own a huge swath of the major brands. https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/11dvx...

I still mourn the loss of Apollo on my iPad. If you are looking for a guide to what worked and was wildly popular, mimic the things from that app. Your app may be the thing that tips many people into Bluesky.

Yep, AccuWeather would love to get all of the NWS / NOAA assets and charge everyone to get a forecast. Thank goodness that the UK and Canadian weather services have great forecasting capabilities, the public can turn to them for our we

I still make them. Most are todo list things. I have the rule subset for my Robotics competitions for the kids to use since not all of them have phones. I also use them for trips to do plane flights, rental, hotel, dinner places, etc. I’d

same, UDel trained, this works. It's weird that you can talk to your brain. Oddly your brain can trust you.

Cool. This is Lisa and Laura, they are my two retired teachers that are now helping in the library to sort shelves. Can you explain to them what you want them to now do? I read the paper and I would like to say, it's confusing at best

So in the early 2000 Dot Com crash network equipment was the hot item. We did a new startup and got top of the line Cisco gear for pennies on the dollar. The rub came at license time a few years later, Cisco wanted a fortune. We sold the
