Most search engines are capitalization agnostic, even the one here on HN. I'll have a word with my lawyer, I want to call something iphone, he says that's taken. I'll see if he likes IpHoNe any better to fix the capitalizat

There is a micro kernel version that runs on RP2040 would that work for you?

Reading this and replying on a 2014 IPad Air. About 70% of the sites I goto work just fine. Oddly, about 1/2 of GitHub works. Old.reddit works, FB is horribly broke. So it’s clearly a resource thing. The more complicated the Javasc

+1 for the 010 editor. It comes with a number of pre-built binary templates, I use the sqlite one all the time. A recent upgrade got syntax coding by the tree-sitter environment, which is a great upgrade. Highly recommended. https:/

It's an aftermarket track. I bought it because the track comes in 50 inch pieces that can be connected together. I custom built the three sleds (Circular saw, Jig Saw and Router) to use the track as support. But there isn't any

This is pretty cool, sadly the sites that it uses to show the examples in action are long gone.

This is weirdly compelling. I have some retro info that I've wanted to put in a small website, this may be the thing that pushes it into the active list. Thanks!

A “boat buck” Is $1000. How much was the bottom paint? All up pretty cheap, 7 boat bucks. Boats are just holes in the water that your throw money into.

I play when it gets above $200 million. For $2 a go I get to run fantasies about taking that closed Sears store and turning it into a multi-floor maker space. Classes in sewing, cooking, finance, woodworking, welding, robotics, drones, 3D p

XP was OK, but Win7 was great. I have a number of systems that still run Windows 7 and they are chugging along just fine.

AWK now supports CSV files from Excel. I’ve used it a few times and have been pretty happy with it. Have you tried that?

I have a 2014 iPad Air with a zagg clamshell keyboard that I love. I would like to have a new browser for it, this version of Safari has been deprecated from Discord and Discus forums.

> EDIT support for file formats beyond plain text would also be a winner. Can you say some more about this, what kind of file format do you want? JSON? XML?

I built and still use Ken Issac’s superchair from PopSci. It’s been great to have everything in arms length. Added things like Lights (and upgrades to LED). Pop Sci and the sister Mechanics Illustrated were the best.

Me too. But I will pass on that transparent packing (boxes, bags, etc) is the way to go. I’ll pack smaller items in zip lock bags (they come in sizes from “snack” to 4 gallon) then they go in transparent boxes. It’s amazing that being able

Tried this for about 10 mins and then figured out that it was publishing my browser history on the VCU site. So pretty much done with that for now.

Just the last sentence. I can see the WiFi manager, you never need to leave the writing app to connect to the nearest wifi.

But to be honest as I move from my lonely writer's garret to Starbucks for character ideas, being able to wrangle the free Wi-fi is important. It is kind of cool that you can be self sufficient inside the editor, so I'll give part

I’m always surprised that when people talk about stack computers they don’t mention the Burroughs B55/65/67/7700 and A Series computers. They ran Algol (pre C) super fast.

It could use some work for the USA. I'm in the better Wilmington, the one in Delaware. But it doesn't seem to want to let me use Delaware vs North Carolina. So needs City/State/Country for the US.

Angel helped make a kite. It was a huge surprise. Very cool program, not helpful to today's billable hours.

History on Ebay has them popping up. Check with the InfoAge Science Center, 2201 Marconi Rd., Wall, New Jersey, 07719. The Burroughs plant that supported them (Flemington) gave all that stuff away when they ended that product line.

Yep, they were very much on the cutting edge. There was a ton of flexibility in how the systems set up. The networking part was very well done, you could have main units with disks, printers, etc. and use the remotes on people's desk

I used the telcom features, you could "talk" to another WorkSlate and exchange files, and use it as a terminal. At the time I worked for Burroughs and we had access to the full range of Convergent products. I don't know how

I had one of these when they came out. It truly was a marvel at the time. I used it all the time as my side machine. It was great as a spreadsheet machine, it wasn't fast but it could run very decent financial models. This article i
