Ah, memories. I took job in 1985 at Skyline Video near the World Trade Center at Trinity Place. We sold videos, blanks, and rented movies and big, big VCRs that people would rent for the weekend ($80 or $100 IIRC) or a night($60). Andy was

5-1/4 in. floppy? I had a cassette drive in my Commodore PET 2001 in 1978. Micro floppies came in 1986 or 87 I think. You booted from the floppy vs. the MBR of the system's hard drive?

Maybe a few years from now that might work when they find out it does cause long-term health issues. Two new studies showing the spike does enter liver cells in vitro. An older study found the same, and it was ignored, and slighted by socia

I agree with you that he cannot be forced to take the vaccine, and in the military, they could just reassign him, or should be able to. It was irresponsible for him not to get tested, but now that he has had COVID, he is the same if not les

I'd love to hear how. Did you go computer to computer, since LAN in the early 80s was not really a common thing except for big businesses. Was this late 80s? I was a Banyan Vines guy vs. Netware by then.

The lab is only 27 km from the wet market along two main arteries. How about the idea a compromised lab worker went to the wet market on the way home, or for a prepared lunch and it spread to the general population that way?

I agree, and much easier than Rust to get going and then some. Other than playing with Nannou in Rust to 'get' the language, and the Rust book, I started a toy game in Zig without more than the skeleton put together here: https:&

I lived in Macao, China for 6-plus years, and I have been to wet markets. Isn't this simply a model of spread with other contributing factors to find an origin? The other point is that the Wuhan Huanan Haixian Seafood Market is close

I am not a molecular biologist or virologist, far from it. I am reading the manner in which people who are those things are responding. Some quite scientifically, and others dogmatically. The one tidbit of information I had heard about the

I had a textdrive account and used textile for my sites back in 2002 or 2003. I don't think markdown was around then. Textile was easy to work with at the time. I took the trouble to learn LaTeX in 2008 or 2009. I like it a lot, and I

I tried Dart when I heard Notch was spending his time with it several years ago. Then I found a Lisp implemented in Dart in 2016, which has been updated [1]. I think in hindsight, if Google had kept supporting Dart, it would have been invig

Piggybacking on my semi-serious remark above, if you do (i and j are indices, and f is a function or expression): for i j.f in Dex, this would be: i j $ f in J. I think...

No, those are self-inflicted, and you can take action to rid yourself of them or minimize their effects. Self empowerment. And since I first posted the CDC released a study that shows natural immunity is better than vaccination. Not surpris

I started parametric geometry or CAD with AutoLISP, but you were tied to AutoCAD. Then I found Blender in the late 90's and early 2000's, and used Python to do some cool stuff. FreeCAD was my next attempt at using the engine witho

I switched to FASM when I started playing with MenuetOS [1] years ago. I like FASM, and the community was very helpful then. I started with 6502 assembly back in the 80s, and assembly for 8-bit micros in the 90s. I left assembly until just

Who's not surprised that the vaccine loses a substantial amount of its efficacy after 3 or months even against the alpha strain it was originally designed for? (High antibody titers do not equal strong immunity especially as they wane
