In middle school, I helped organize a weekly "computer club" that met after hours in a school computer lab. It quickly degenerated into a giant Starcraft lan party every week, and became much more popular as a result. In early hig

I'm not talking about years later. I'm talking about an immediately obvious shortcoming that manifests on the platform supported by the product at the time of purchase. If I buy it and they're out of business 5 minutes later,

I expect everything on my phone to be throw-away, beyond the life of that specific device (with the possible exception of the things that I've got as apk's and can sideload). I expect a thing on my PC to be available as some form

Most of my DOS software ran fine on a Windows XP laptop in 2003 (sometimes with the addition of VDMSound to handle FM synthesis emulation). That same laptop will run most of the remainder quickly enough in Dosbox. I've also got a deskt

My college roommates and I used to run m0n0wall (which pfSense was forked from) on a Pentium 3, running from a 400MB hard drive from a stack of very old computers in my parents' garage. I turned it on, assigned the network interfaces,

But you do end up with amusing case names like "United States v. $124,700 in U.S. Currency" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._$124,700_in_U... ). The currency is defined as the defendant in the

Where was the wasted time? Something about converting the data back and forth through the CFFI? Just convoluted data flow?

I've been working for ~8 years in a mix of environments, some with syntax highlighting and some without. When working without highlighting, I rely on the shape of the code's text and the search function of my editor to navigate as

It's just marketing. Sharing game recordings with friends is "A Thing". Microsoft wants to be seen as helping normal users do popular things (and get them tied closer into the Xbox brand). Recording for other purposes doesn&#

Even with a known algorithm, it can be cool to see a clean visualization of it. OP was clever enough to figure it out, and that's great, but it bugs me some every time I see them say that they couldn't understand other people&#x27

My first change to any editor is to set tabstops at 4 characters. That's the standard policy at my employer, and I like it for my own projects, as well.

I'm not sure whether it will be of any practical use, but the Computer History Museum in Mountain View has an IBM 1401 on display, along with some IBM 026 card punches. They do demos of the hardware, and they'll sometimes punch li

I see two issues in the article. I don't think that "being yourself" is the same thing as speaking without a filter, and I don't think that it requires someone to think of themselves as an unchanging entity. > It work

Point taken. Still, if it's important to me for something local, I've got the choice. It doesn't need to be useful with every program on my machine to be a useful capability to me.

I choose from among the dozens of options, based on functionality and configurability. That's the degree of control that I've needed. Saying that "control" would require someone to read every line of source is a wonderfu

Perhaps there've been older stone-carved writings found. Stating "non-ballpoint" might be technically true, but it implies that you're saying that older ballpoint-based writing instruments have been found that you wish t

If I lived in London (only part of the UK I've been to) or most cities in Europe, I doubt that I'd need to rely heavily on a car. Between the Tube and walking, we got where we wanted/needed without much hassle. As an example

It's a chicken+egg problem. I've considered riding a bicycle to work (it's only about 6 miles), but there are busy streets without bicycle lanes (or even sidewalks), and drivers in the area are known to be actively aggressive
