This year I treated myself to a benchtop power supply for home use. I've worked with electronics (mostly embedded hardware and lower-level software) for >3 decades professionally where bench supplies are everywhere. My hobby use sa

Kerouac aside, wasn't it the yippies (not yuppies) that were doing the Pentagon performance? ISTR yuppies were years after the Youth International Party (and quite different). Anyone?

I really enjoyed John Muir pubs like How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive: A Manual of Step by Step Procedures for the Compleat Idiot. They are available for a handful of vehicles (the Subaru one is a favorite of mine). Available at a used b

It used to be the nearest university (especially if they have an adjoining curriculum), sometimes a local business. Don't be afraid of microfiche for older pubs. Don't be afraid to introduce yourself. I still find libraries pret

Now that it's mentioned... Yeah, Termux. I use it all the time. I used to always have a small laptop and/or a wearable with me constantly , now those are often still with me but Termux (with the Hacker's Keyboard) has red

Thanks for posting the link. Shift+Insert has worked for decades in the XTerms I've used. It's bound in my muscle memory and is a source of frustration, for me, when attempting to use non-X Widows GUIs or odd-ball "terminals&

If anyone is wondering about first reponders' use of land lines, that necessity is to be alleviated with the United States setting aside some spectrum in 700MHz back in 2012. Do a search for "band 14" - here is something to l

Apologies, I meant to add more saying I could not get a remote machine to invoke the local emacs reliably. I got close with hacking up emacsclient to ssh back, but was eventually stymied by new network policies at $JOB and eventually settl

Probably not the answer You are looking for... Try some variant of this in your remote .bash_profile or what-not: if [ "$PS1" ]; then export PS1='\h:\w\$ ' if [[ "x${TERM}" = "xeterm"

That seems not a niche feature from my view... Maybe it's a feature that isn't often advertised (amd64 machines excepted). I find it frequently in the datasheets (and then verifying with schematics and testing). Another non-adver

See also Dave Touretzky's homepage at CMU for a great take ("wacky") about Scientologists, and them appearing on the Carnegie Mellon campus. Oh, there's talk of DMCA, aviation, and Lisp on that page, too.
