   What if I write a package to provide generic key generation for other software packages, then share it, generous man that I am?

   I liked Programmer's Notepad but I don't think it had the same power as BBEdit.

   These interviews with developers in a magazine format is something I'd welcome seeing more. Who doesn't like a good war story?

   I remember the whimsical memes and comics made by the refugees. It was a different air; optimism that safer shores were ahead. This is more like confusion in the vacuum of space.

   I would be happy to give a look through it, email in my bio. I dig that sort of thing, someone did something similar with classic MySpace: https://spacehey.com/ . We just need Bebo back and we're sorted ;)

    I had a hunt online and there is definitely source code out there, but unfortunately the interesting stuff like 4dwm, the display stack and OpenGL is not present - understandably, because those where what gave SGI their edge. Cf: this sligh

    Yeah as nice as this is, the overlap of console editor enthusiasts and those willing to hand yet more data to Google is going to be narrow.

    Fluxbox + PcManFM + automount gives a fairly complete and modern-feeling desktop on Linux. The themes are also opinionated and quite varied, something to suit all tastes: http://tenr.de/styles/?i=1 GP should find his f

    sourdough.js was initially appreciated for being an airy-light framework, but as it rose to a great height many security holes were spotted under the crust; it wasn't quite ready for the daily crunch of production. The dev team tried t

    I agree that the environmental changes are affecting birdlife as well. But even taking the lower end of the estimate of the number killed by cats, 40 million birds each year is a felt loss. The RSPB may opine as they wish, but that's t

    I once explained arrays and frontbuffers/backbuffers to a 9 year old. I can't say that he did anything useful with the knowledge, though he wasn't put to sleep by it and went away knowing a little more on how graphics are don
