Their cheaper tags are not for freezers, at least for commercial low temp applications. But the more expensive ones work in freezers I have really only used these for refrigeration and monitoring access to liquor cabinets in a commercial e

As does LaunchBar, the Great Grand-Parent of all cmd-space launchers. While I can’t claim to have used it in the NeXT era, I am pretty sure I have since Mac OS X Beta https://www.obdev.at/products/launchbar/index.h

This looks interesting. After a number of years in in the JavaScript webdev ecosystem, I have been planning to reviews what has been happening in Python since I was last active. This looks like a good place to start.

The software you create will typically run on systems that are very different from your workstation. The systems your software actually runs on will typically either be much more or less powerful. Compare a large data center or embedded aud

Regarding the lack of detail, this has to be taken in a bit of context. Howard Oakley -- the author of the site -- has many articles that go into great technical depth and ones that are more high level advice. While I would agree the articl

Now I am interested BBEdit is the default editor for me. I say this has someone who has used BBEdit since around 1997. And while for the last 15 years I have moved on to primarily using Sublime and then VSCode, I always configure them to be

The UX of NotePlan is amazing. It is very easy to start using , but It is much deeper and more elegant than you may assume if you only for a week or two. The more you use it the more it will reveal its power and flexibility It is one of the

Interesting. I suspect if Apple had done this they would have had someway for the cards to auto-negotiate. A few years after the Jonathan prototype, I remember fighting with the DIP switches on PC ISA cards and setting the the correct IRQs,

It wasn’t mentioned. I think they are referring to how the Jonathan’s bus is more similar to S-100 than a PC’s motherboard card bus. There was not a primary mother board that ran the bus like in Apple 2 or IBM PC I ran TSR-80 systems and I

Ah for the days in the 1990s, when you could buy a laptop computer like the PowerBook DUO 280 with an active matrix grayscale LCD screen. It was a super legible screen in all situations but it was the best in direct sunlight without backlig

Wow this is a great podcast episode. I remember using a version the Creative Computing code that I reworked for my TSR-80. Fun to hear the back story

There there use to be a stronger distinction between Text Editors and IDE’s. Of course there is a wide spectrum from something like ‘nano’ to Microsoft’s Visual Studio (not VScode) On macOS, BBEdit has had SFTP since the late 1990s. BBEdit

Judging by the screen shots Symphytum is patterned after Apple/Claris FileMaker https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FileMaker Which is one of Apple’s oldest products. (Maybe only the Macintosh itself has had a longer

Very interesting. I have been hoping to see direct support for JMAP in a native app. I have been reliant on Fastmail web app. I will put this on my list to review when I have spare time.

I am on the opposite end of most of the other responses. I *NEVER* start from a clean install of my macOS systems. I fact, I consider this one of macOS's super powers. I love having a heavily customized environment and I just want my s

The Duo 280 is my all time favorite Mac. Active matrix greyscale screen worked great without backlighting turned on. Even better in full daylight. In the mid-1990s, I could work most of the day on batteries with a super lightweight notebook

We had the same communications with Google that encouraged us not to use App Passwords, and hinting at a future removal. Plus the fact that App Passwords expire when the Google Account password changed, means you can’t count on the App Pass

I think the issue with Champagne is that in the USA we used the word as a generic term for sparkling wine for MANY decades before it became a Designated Appellation. Bottles were sold here using the word champagne only to indicate it was s

I have used many plain text tools over the decades. In the past year, NotePlan has taken over everything that is not coding, or long form writing. It was easy to move my markdown notes into it. Plus NotePlan has replaced most of my calendar

I am all for your efforts. I am very keyboard centric. My sweet spot is macOS keyboard shortcuts. Especially those as defined by BBEdit. But I have learned from all the platforms I have worked on. (TRS-DOS, MSDOS, OS/2, macOS, Windows,

As I recall, we got C and UNIX because the conditions of AT&T’s telecommunications monopoly prevented them from competing in software. So they gave away the source code to academic institutions for a comparatively small fee and weak lic
