I think this is the key difference. At next-to-highest resolution, the 15" gives you a heck of a lot of workspace readable even with these old eyes (with reading glasses ;-).

(I had that book for years, when it first came out. Also my first compiler book.) Yes, but note that he was using the special upper AND lower-case chain on the 1401, which made it at least vaguely readable.

You do realize that a great deal of the Vatican museum collection is art sponsored (patronized) by churchmen, right? From money generally voluntarily donated to the Church? So not quite so ill-gotten as you imagine?

At least in the Ohio Amish communities (in businesses), I believe they actually use diesel-driven air compressors out back. They're not averse to fossil fuels, because you have to pay for them as you go. Getting on grid means you'

Yes, pretty nice, though a bit pricey. I think iPhoto has had this option for a decade.

Dang, I want to love this as a "just works" kind of solution, but as soon as I turn on Cloud Sharing, I get dinged with the need to pay for an iCloud capacity upgrade. (Edit:) 5GB seems like a pretty measly free level.

Yes, "fascism" is the technical term, but also the "military-industrial complex" that Eisenhower was prescient about.

As a former Arq user, I'm happy to pay BackBlaze $5/month for not ever thinking about the backup problem again, on a bunch of family machines (mostly Macs but a couple of Windows machines as well). No thinking about installing sof

Is that even true any more with iOS 8? I don't pay anything on AT&T to use my phone as a personal hotspot, whether connecting via BT or Wifi.

Zach was a quite visible ambassador for GH, an excellent speaker and spreader of GH love and lore. Would love to hear the story behind this.

Yes, they wrote an assembler/linker/simulator on old Harv-10. I was there bugging him late at night, asking why he was wasting his time on silly hobbyist machines when we had the whole Arpanet at our fingertips. (All 20-30 machine

Is Guido still at Dropbox? Contributing to this effort? If he is, that would certainly make the effort carry a lot more weight.

What's the unique sauce that makes this work? How do you keep arbitrary Mac apps in sync with the iPad display?

Not always. In this case, they'd be using correct grammar as it was used for quite some time (centuries?). Of course, there are cases where people use a false whom because it sounds more sophisticated, but this isn't one of them.

So, if actual correct grammar doesn't matter any more, then I suppose everything is a "stylistic choice"?

It's interesting that they decided to start from scratch with a new rendering engine. (I imagine the UI itself could have been updated without a lot of trouble.) They probably looked at the thousands of special cases in the old spaghet

SendHub (a YC company, I think) seems like a good choice right now. We left Phonebooth.com for SendHub and are fairly happy, though we're still waiting for a couple of features like which line was chosen from an initial menu.

How about carols from http://www.oremus.org/hymnal/82.html , "Christmas Season." Those are all in the public domain, most of them being > 100 years old.

No one got the reference to Psalm 50? (Latin "Lava me") http://www.medievalist.net/psalmstxt/ps50.htm ;-) Of course, it's also a play on "wash me" Spanish.

Agreed, which is I enjoy my new 3440 x 1440 LG. I don't always use the whole width of the monitor, but I really enjoy spreading windows over more than the usual 2560 width. Any reference materials can be on the very edges with a very s

No, the two branches (Symbolics and Lisp Machines) ran their own Lisp Machine Lisp which was a fairly complex melange of MacLisp-derived CommonLisp-precursor constructs. Plus it had its own object system (Flavors).
