I do all my programming in Source Insight and it lets you switch between monospaced and proportional fonts with a keystroke. I find it easier to read code in proportional mode but find editing is best done in monospace mode. I don't want to

/me raises a me-too-hand. If I can't read it in Reeder I properly wont read it at all. I don't know (or care) if it's a slow and outdated technology as it seems to work okay for me. It doesn't benefit me at all if RSS disappears and is rep

Buy an embedded system like the Arduino and learn C while haking a bit of hardware too. Yes, the Arduino is not 100% ANSI C but I suspect it's close enough. For me learning a new programming language is always about finding a problem to sol

Ahh yes, the 16k expansion brick. If you sneezed too hard or a fly landed on the table it would reset. Didn't it also turn really hot after a few hours?

Perhaps I'm getting grumpier as I'm getting older but yes! And can I start an engineers branch of Really Well Dressed? You should dress according to your age. You don't get any younger/cooler by dressing like a teenager. Put on some nice cl

I've tried to use vim for a while but I've given up pretty quickly. Yes I'm aware that the learning curve for any new editor is steep but that's not why I've given up on vim. I do all my source code editing in a Windows environment and my

Looks nice. However I much prefer LOL ( http://elder-gods.org/lol/ ) which brings up numbers next to all links. Pentadactyl does this too and much more. Never got a hang of VIM but there's been a lot of writing about it lately. Perhaps I sh

Did the term "floppy" really come from the 5.25"? I seem to remember that the 8" disk drive was almost impossible to insert without a third hand as support. I just had a look around the office and we still have a number of instruments (osci

I guess it depends on where you live. I'm in Europe and in my part of the world public radio is pretty good and without ads. I can't stand radio stations that airs ads every few minutes or just have mindless jingles. At my old job we had a

I've used BASIC quite a bit on the C64 as a prototype tool. Everything ran so slowly that even the slightest performance gain in my algorithms where noticeable with the naked eye. So when my demos where coded in assembly I knew which algor
