I always find references to the 'Conquest of Space' to be amusingly hubristic. A bit like saying you've 'conquered' the seas, after dipping a toe in the bath.

I love the look of the Crystal and did start learning it a while back. But the painfully slow compile times and lack of tooling compared to its 'new kid on the block' rivals like Go, Rust, V etc. made it just too painful to work w

Is this for real? I've not received that email from Google. If so, I guess it's time to setup my own mailserver. I've been meaning to do it for a long while now anyway, as I'm not comfortable with the thought that Google

Downloaded, found an obvious bug [Preferences are inaccessible on OSX] and went to report it, only to be confronted with a fucking reCAPTCHA when I tried to submit the form. Guess I'll not bother then. The brave new Web3 browser of the

Looks fantastic. And I'm currently after a new screengrab app. Unfortunately it require MacOS 10,15 or later though. So no joy for this die-hard Mojave user.

My first desktop Mac was an 8500. I bought it when I was a student and took out a loan to buy it at £3500 second hand. Unbelievable how cheap computing power has become in such a relatively short time.
