That’s an interesting way to look at it, and it got me thinking about how one might implement a blogging platform where discussion is more like comments in the margins of a book than some footnotes at the back of the book.

I haven’t seen the actual code they’re discussing in this article, but the interesting part isn’t that this was done on a system with very little RAM. From the sound of things, it works like a finite state machine. You can represent a whole

Stallman has been a pedophile apologist and rape victim blamer for many years.

I know very little about any of this stuff, but it occurred to me that Apple already has a few technologies in play by which devices can sense the layout of their surroundings: HomePod can determine its proximity to walls by listening to ho

Is it really innovative, though? Solar-powered digital watches have been around for nearly fifty years.

Only 36% more than usual? Something tells me that if you were told you had to pay 36% more in taxes next year, you wouldn’t think that’s an insignificant amount.

While that’s true, even single-line BBSes were still technically multi-user, as the sysop could be logged in locally while another user was on the line.

It never existed. “Conservatism”, as it as it is used in the US, has never referred to fiscal conservatism except whenever it’s convenient to an argument. Conservatism is and always has been about preserving the status quo.

Web development-centric websites often seem to totally ignore the need to provide a usable mobile experience. It’s maddeningly weird.

I’m in touch to this day with a friend that I made through sysop chat. Kind of hard to believe that was 25+ years ago!

Why is anything a Medium post? Seriously, I’ve never understood the point.

Apple is not "actively trying to prevent" people from managing their Spotify, Netflix et al subscriptions outside of their respective iOS apps, what are you talking about?

Very nice. My dad’s is a black hollow-body with a white trim, and was built in ‘61. Even though Silvertone was considered a “budget” brand, this was a $150+ guitar in its day, with Gibson humbuckers and a Bigsby bridge.

My dad’s first guitar was a Silvertone, too. A black Silvertone 1446, to be exact. I looked up it’s value recently and was shocked to find that it is worth about $1,300 today.

For what it’s worth, Apple didn’t go the app route to begin with. They were all in on web apps on the iPhone, and had no plans to allow native app development until developers demanded it. The iPhone didn’t have native app support until aro

My boss still uses an iPhone 4. iPhones are nothing if not durable.

This approach absolutely does produce static web sites, just like any other static site generator. The querying of a back-end database doesn’t take place when a page gets loaded, it takes place when the static site is being built . This

I’ve got about a dozen ESP8266 dev boards, but they are not in the same league as this. ESP8266 is just a WiFi-enabled MCU. Getting any kind of video output or even keyboard input from it is a hack, and forget about it running Linux.

I’m tempted to buy one just to play around with an unconventional ISA. I don’t think this is meant to be a Pi alternative.

There’s also [Scriptable]( https://scriptable.app ), which is sort of like a JavaScript flavor of Pythonista.

Some members of the National Socialist Party adopted the swastika to signal their identity. Many employed it, though, simply to unsettle Jews who had come to believe the swastika was a genuine hate symbol. Which it was .

Agreed, cardamom has an amazing flavor that works in savory or sweet applications. No idea why it’s so underrepresented in western cuisine.

It’s impossible to read any article regarding web design on Medium without having to seriously question whether it’s intended to be satire or not.

Beyond Apple Music and iCloud storage, what other “up sells” are there on iOS? I can’t think of any, let alone any that I would call “blatant”.

> They start at $350 retail. No - you can't confuse carrier subsidies and contracts with price. Well it’s a good thing I’m not talking about subsidizing pricing, then. An SE out of contract is $349. An iPhone 8 - a flagship phone -
