I built a Tcl/TK GUI in 1997 and I thought that it (specifically Tcl) was dated then. If you're used to anything beyond shell scripting, Tcl feels very un-programming. It does look they added objects in 2012, I can't speak to

I actually built this, and shipped it, in 1996, with no knowledge of page rank, citation analysis, or bibliometrics, for an internal/external search engine for the Envirolink web site. Envirolink was a directory of environmental web si

If you look closely at the author list, you can see that some of the same names still hang out here, which is pretty cool. It's also fun just to look at the article titles to see what the zeitgeist of the era was for a given time perio

Interestingly enough, Envirolink's web search engine had bibliometric search ranking in 1996. It only searched a small subset of the web - mostly around environment advocacy. I built in 1996 as an internship, it all ran as some perl sc

I tried the onboarding, but I think it timed out on the Analyzing screen because it couldn't find any issues in my Sentry environment. So I couldn't get too much further. EDIT: It did let me in, but I don't know why it took s

SOAP was actually pretty easy to use, once it settled out. For the most part, everyone used some kind of SDK that translated WSDL (Web Services Description Language) specifications to their chosen language. So you could define almost any fu

I'm building this over at https://zapcircle.com/ - it's still a work in progress, but it's all open source. The idea behind it was that Behavior-Driven Development might be a great idea, but Gherkin was a pai

This was a great article! I saw "To Fly!" for the first time at the Smithsonian Air and Space Dulles location (Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center) on their IMAX screen two years ago. Definitely a film of its moment, and I can see how tha

I'm having the LLM work with human-readable behaviors for each component. You can have the LLM take those behaviors and create a Mermaid diagram, for instance.

It seems a little counterintuitive, but you can ask an LLM to improve a prompt. They are quite good at it.

San Francisco is both a city and a county, unlike San Jose. In addition, you can't directly compare municipal budgets without taking into account enterprise departments that are meant to be revenue neutral, such as airports - in this c

That's kind of what they were trying to do with the 320 and 540. I worked on their e-commerce store, you could configure and buy and ship one from the web site in 1999-2000. The prices were still really high.

I worked out of the SGI campus before it got sold to Google, and I remember the on-site cafe there was amazing. I don't know how much Google changed about it, I've never been. As a vendor, I (well, my company) had to pay for meals

Austin was supposed to be the next big tech hub since at least the late 90's and the dot-com boom/bust. I don't think the Oracle headquarters change makes a huge difference, but I did figure Twitter would move to Austin, and

I worked on the SGI campus as a consultant/vendor to them in 1999/2000 during the dot.com boom. I really wanted one of those 1600SW flat screens (everything was CRT back then), but they weren't really in use at the time. One

I met Paul in 1999 after a show they did in Austin with Crystal Method and Lo Fidelity All-Stars. I was a nerdy 20 year old who had no business hanging out with a bunch of EDM superstars, but someone had some kind of hookup and we got to ha

If you dig into those numbers, they lost 3.8 million subscribers in India due to losing streaming rights for cricket matches. I don't think that's a reasonable lens to be looking at how Disney's cartoon movies are doing. I do

I'm probably the target market for this, and I think it's going to have a hard time selling. I currently pay for XBox Game Pass Ultimate at $15/month. That comes with 400 games, although I tend to play the more indie games. T

You could try FreeCodeCamp - it's a different style of learning, but it might be useful for you. There are some sections on HTML and CSS, or you can jump straight into Bootstrap: https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/

Houston Public Library membership is open to all Texas residents. Their web site is currently not working for me, but I would assume it will be back up and running shortly.

I think the biggest problem you might face for getting money out of it by self publishing is that it doesn't have a clear audience - at least from the way you describe it. It sounds as if you have this book sitting inside you, and it&#

In this particular case, the problem is that the plugins require Dart glue code, and a native implementation on both iOS and Android. So if you run into a problem with a component, it's much more complicated to fix it. In general, usin
