I remember using these CD caddy Performas in elementary school when they were relatively new and being somewhat confused by the why, as we had a tray loading audio CD player in our living room at the time.

Huh, I worked for an agency and built a site that was essentially "Uber for Nurses" back in 2010. I was immediately like "it's not them is it?" No, seems they shut down in 2017. As far as I know, never really took o

It's a game, for Dreamcast. Certified classic. Amazing technical demo for the time. Redefined what games could be. The Yakuza games would not exist without it and are generally considered it's spiritual successors. Shenmue was one

I know they removed the CAS capabilities to appease school boards. Are you still able to replace the firmware with the CAS capable version?

As a Middle-Aged person who does math on the periphery of calculus reasonably often, for work and in my day to day life, my irritation with calculators is that their capabilities are largely driven by the education markets demands. The smal

I had a shortwave radio as a kid in the 90s in Minnesota. I never picked up much with it. Some Mexican stations, weather broadcasts, and when the ionosphere was right BBC World Service. On exceedingly rare occasions I could even pick up sta

I don't know, code that isn't at least internally consistent with itself in capitalization is a pet peeve. There should be one way to do a thing.

That sounds like an astigmatism to me, which basically just means your lens is a little misshapen. I have a pretty bad astigmatism in one eye and have double vision in that eye without glasses, especially so from lit things like screens. Go

So I've just got a pretty major astigmatism in one eye, very minor in the other, without any other distortions. I went thirty years without corrective lenses and I think this kind of caused and reinforced my lazy eye. With simple presc

I hung out with a friend recently I had not seen in close to a decade. He was at one time my closest friend and seeing him was kind of uncomfortable and enlightening. I saw sooo much of how I used to talk and act still in him that it real

I have seen it with my own parents and my wife's parents first hand. Frankly, I think the lack of social interaction is a big part of it. When they're working, they're regularly talking to people outside their comfort zone ab

What did it do that was particularly "user hostile"? My memory of the event was that they just launched a redesign that was half baked and everyone bailed overnight. I've always thought that was why old.reddit.com still exist

The article misses that this stems from a Diggnation reunion. It was originally a onetime show but they had such a good time they picked it back up. Then they started talking about how they should try to get Digg back.

Since the late 90s I've always had the thought in the back of my mind that one day I would run my own mail server. That day never came and the task seemed more and more impossible. This looks genuinely manageable, I might actually give

Well I meant code that panics intentionally, via a call to panic, I've certainly written my share of off-by-ones ;)

I write a pretty significant amount of Go code for my day job, and I have written code that calls panic probably less than five times. There are only really two types of cases where I would even consider it an option. Firstly, cases where I

Apple Music's desktop UI/UX has been absolute garbage in comparison to iTunes before it since release. I have been patiently waiting for what, five years now(?), for someone to improve it, but they just haven't. I don't

I would download sooo many random programs from the internet back then, and rarely were they viruses. I also didn't have online banking and my internet connection wasn't always on. The attack surface was just so much smaller. Li

I love this. I miss lighthearted things like this being more of the norm than the exception. Xeyes on 90s Linux, cowsay, whatever that was that made snow gather on top your windows (Xsnow?). Heck, I even have fond memories of Björks website

As someone who already has trouble reading due to eye issues, the lack of capital letters made this infuriatingly difficult to read.

The idea of a trailing whitespace sensitive language is... amazing. Get real torturous with it and make the amount of whitespace the line number, ala BASIC. 3 trailing spaces is line 3 for instance. Tab character counts as powers of ten sep

This was post number 5 when I started reading it and 45 when I finished, I am guessing some people from the RIAA and MPA found their way to the flag button.
