The NC10 was a great device for its time -- lightweight, long battery life, nearly full size keyboard. I used it as my primary computing device for years, and would still be using it had it not suffered the pinched display cable problem, a

By March, it didn't matter whether the virus had come from a lab or a spillover event, because a bigger, more pressing issue had emerged: what to do now that the virus was outside China. Now that that threat is starting to abate, it s

I wonder how many projects will end up moving in the end. So far, freenode still seems to have kept the majority of channels/users. I don't have a horse in this race; I just expected anyone who was going to move to have done so a

It's all fun and games until someone underflows velocity. In all seriousness, finding such a bug in the software would be the best possible evidence of living in a simulation. The hard part is demonstrating that it is a a bug an not a

I agree that "libre" does not roll off the tongue well. It's a rare pattern in English, shared with words like cadre, timbre, and macabre. Those are nouns, so they're not followed by another word in the same way as e.g

I encountered the "a/s/l" question on numerous Undernet channels when I started using irc. We would joke about it in programming channels, but people really did use it in non-programming channels.

My first response to reading this was "dude isn't a pronoun", but after thinking about it, I realize it is being used more and more as a pronoun and not just as a noun. I wonder what other words can be used as a pronoun?

Since high school I've wondered what those registers in the 0x3c0-0x3cf range are for. I found them in a book somewhere and started writing to them to see what would happen. The only one I found interesting was the PEL mask register,

How much faster do your VM servers start with systemd? On the desktop, I feel like boot time is slightly longer than it was 20 years ago, yet hardware is faster now. I used to shut down my computer every night back then; now I leave it run

If freenode does get renamed or reincarnated as a different network, it won't be the first time projects on the network had to migrate to a new domain. Prior to freenode.org, it was known as opn.net (though I never really understood t

Interesting that ranitidine is still on the list, given the concerns about NDMA. I wonder if it will be removed in the future, and what the recommended replacement will be.
