There's a similar issue going on with the square DIN plug used for power connectors on the Commodore 128 and TED series (C16, Plus/4) computers. Someone found a place in China with old stock and has been buying them. One person is

This is a project I've been working on in my spare time. My goal is to use it to provide the data for a little app I'm building, but I'm having too much fun just adding facts to the API.

Congrats on the two year old. Mine turns two next month. Some nights, after he goes to bed and I'm done with chores, I'll open up my laptop, fire up VS Code, and wake up on the couch four hours later.

I wouldn't underestimate the influence of the Borscht Belt. Successful Jews in entertainment vacationed there, while young up-and-comers performed in the comedy clubs. Who got seen? Whose names got circulated around? It was a self-perp

I'm not active on Quora, but it's a place for discussions about a topic. I'm surprised to hear they see a sealioning problem. Twitter is where I'm more used to seeing sealioning, where someone will make a comment about s

I love my Surface Pro 3 but they have notorious cooling problems. I'm looking at getting a near Surface or one of the competitors from HP or Lenovo. Aside from that quirk of the SP3, I can't really think of any issues. I come home

I've been using Microsoft To-Do since the earliest pre-release versions. It's…ok. It's by the folks behind Wunderlist, which Microsoft bought, but it's lacking some power user features that made Wunderlist stand out. I&#

I don't know where to start because all of this is true. I miss my mortgage that was less than my rent here in Boston. The weather in Boston is pretty much the same as Chicago, so I'm incredibly jealous of my co-workers on the wes

> One thing I used to hate about PHP but then kinda grew to like was variables being prefixed with a $, as it makes it real easy to distinguish between functions and variables at a glance. This is great for a lot of code but it's pr

I didn't even know what it was when I worked in River North. I just knew I could duck into one of the buildings along the way and get into a heated tunnel that took me part way to Ogilvy. Now, I wish I had explored it more when I lived

While I’m always excited to see Commodore 8-bits in the news, connecting one to IRC and talking to a bot is nothing new.

“Robot” was one of my toddler's first words. He sometimes stops to say "bye bye robot" to the Roomba on the way out the door to daycare. Something about them triggers some kind of anthropomophization instinct in us.

Between 7-8 hours usually. My son tends to get up at 5:30am, so the rest of the household does too. It was 4:30am this morning, though. Teething pain :( That pretty much means my wife and I went from about a midnight bedtime to 9pm, which m

I was really hoping [1] was a clip from The Americans. Great show. Of course, it has Commodore 64s all over the place so of course I'm going to say that.

After 6 or 7 years I think I finally had enough for Google to drop a direct deposit in my account. That's, what, $100? It's pretty unobtrusive up in the corner there. I'm sure it suffers from banner blindness. But I don'

There's a couple different things at play this time. Windows RT only allowed Store apps and Microsoft's own ARM desktop apps. Windows 10 on ARM will run UWP Store apps and x86 apps (desktop & hybrid "Centennial" apps

A Surface with i5 does Hyper-V nicely. The current incarnation of Docker keeps a Hyper-V VM running for Linux containers, but my understanding is it'll soon just use the kernal's Linux support.

I think my boss took us to Celtic Crossings when I worked in River North. Great place. The carbomb drink always seemed like a WTF to me. I wondered how people from Ireland felt about it.

It depends on the kid. And the call I guess. I've had my infant on video calls and he mostly wanted to see all the people. And I've had to turn off my camera to change diapers before. But everyone's been cool with it. Clients
