I played many long hours with that. I still have the original disk it ran from, a single 5 1/4" floppy.

How are you getting them onto your Kindle? Send to Kindle using EPUB does not work at all for me.

by drittich 4y ago
I converted a PDF to EPUB (v2) through Calibre, and Send to Kindle would not accept it.

by drittich 4y ago
I'm confused, because Send to Kindle does not support sending EPUB files as of yet. Does this mean a future release will?

I noticed that your only comments are 4 that are almost identical to the above. Is this because you are truly single-minded, or perhaps this is an AI/ML bot account?

I'm still coding now, but some of my most memorable adventures were with QuickBasic in the early 1990s, when I knew essentially nothing. My first one was fixing a flaky TSR "new mail" notifier that came with Microsoft Courier

I switched from Lucene to Postgres for a wiki fulltext search, and I'm thrilled with it. Insanely fast, and great ranking, for my use case.

Far more important to me than the speed of the searches is the quality of them. Are there any benchmarks that attempt to test this? I'm not even sure how to determine what the criteria would be, but there must be a few well-definable d

I really liked Parcel v1, but v2 completely broke watch for me, which is kind of a dealbreaker these days. I'm currently pretty happy with webpack v5, but definitely have vite on my list to check out.

That's so true, and yet, I think your answer also explains why "what makes them so great videos" can work, in a way. The explanations given by Beato or whoever may be lacking in terms of the true why (is there really one?),

I remember first playing with tech like this in the early 1990's. Q&A v4 from Symantec supported NLP and I was quite surprised at how potentially useful it looked, although as a developer I preferred more control. After typing your

I don't worry about it and just use a straight-up HTTP GET. That works a surprising number of times. If I was trying harder I would use Puppeteer or similar and try to grab a full height screenshot. Most of the time I'm just click

I'm still using a clone of https://del.icio.us/ that I wrote in 2004 after a fit of pique when it went down for a day or two. I use it almost daily and have amassed 11,490 links as of today, and most of them have the H

> it was almost entirely geeks fucking around with things they found fun I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I think many artists would find this fits quite well as a definition of an artist, in process if not in intent.

Not an expert. My take is this: I was thrilled several times when I started exploring ECS. As a long time pseudo OO developer (not a fan) I found that first of all ECS really did help me write fast update loops, and when the loop become slo

ECS is a good example of multi-benefit DoD because it's clearly meant to be performant, but there are significant benefits that come from using discrete components rather than typically more complex OO classes, for example. I've

I didn't find it ridiculous. There were real, tangible benefits, like sharing the same validation code on the frontend and backend. Would I make it the sole reason to choose a given language? No, but there was demonstrable efficiency t

I did a similar thing with SQL Server using XML. I created views that would convert the XML value back to the correct SQL data type when querying the audit table. The view also Unions the audit data with the current data so that you could a

I would love to see an example - are you willing to share?

Similar route here. I went from VB classic to JScript on the server (and client, so was doing isomorphic JavaScript 19 years ago!) and then to C3 a few years later.

People will complain about the need to IoT ALL the things, the security risks, the impracticality of something not being able to do its basic function because DNS is down, or whatever. I can't say I disagree. But I also have to admit t

I don't think it's falling apart at all. Personally, I would require that what columns get returned be explicit (optionally with a * type syntax that you have to enable - the defaults should be safe and * has its risks). For one t
