The computing device I use most right now is twenty years old, and powered off of two double-A batteries. It serves all of my non-entertainment needs, and I will never need anything more for essential use. It is fully-programmable, and work

They added it unannounced in the last update, Firefox 93. There was a small outrage on behalf of the dozens of people still paying attention to Firefox, but nothing came of it. If you're on a good distribution, you'll probably see

It renders as-expected on NetBSD, Linux and Haiku. If you check the linked Overline Wikipedia page, «Overline (markup)» and «Overline (character)» look near-equivalent. I see what may have been the problem, though. It looks like somewhere i

Yes. It's probably regional vernacular, but "picture" and "photograph" are equivalent in my area.

I think that, given current estimates on lifespans and advances in nanotechnology, it's plausible that I'll be around when Y10K happens, and being able to search through my collected writings in a simple, uniform way will be nice.

Sure, and I'm not saying it's good for privacy. But Firefox in its default setting is also bordering unusable, inserting ads in the address bar! It's incredible that an advertising company does better than a for-profit ow

It doesn't ship ads in your web browser, unlike Firefox. It allows you to install WebExtensions from any source (even if you don't sign them with Mozilla!), unlike Firefox. I wouldn't recommend it, but that's just becaus

It isn't Zalgo (Zalgo is abusive use of Unicode symbols, not for their intended purpose). It's using a unicode symbol (combining overline) for its intended purpose, repeating decimals.[1][2] Is there a better, built-in Arc md way

Actually, archive.org is already easily downloadable, in that you can already help host the dweb copy. archive.org, available via webtorrent: https://dweb.archive.org/ It's pretty slow, though.

Paul Graham has a million and a third followers on Twitter. He's what you'd call "off-mainstream." Andreesen is off-off-mainstream. RMS, on the other hand, is pretty niche, unfortunately. The world would be a lot better

"Glowing" means that it's probably a plot of a government. It's not cryptography-specific.

I just saw an e-fluencer use it, so I decided I might as well also. No hidden agenda here. But yes, that's the intention behind the action here: https://blog.longnow.org/02013/12/31/long-now-years-five-di

We've known what we're doing to all types of bees for a long time. Here's a paper from 01999 talking about pesticides and their toxicity to bees: https://ucanr.edu/sites/uccemerced/files/40411.p

The first three don't have illustrations. There's one or two after that in the "good" run of BYTE that don't. All of the rest do. After 1987, their illustrator was replaced with a photographer and Photoshop. «From 1

For anyone not aware, pretty much every BYTE issue is in the Archive. If you have a favorite article from childhood that you want to update for your kids, it's a gold mine. There are hundreds of tutorials ranging from introductions to

If you're missing "something good" really depends on what you have a need for. They've offered free SMS for years, which is pretty cool, but niche. You sound like you might like trying Waze, which is also owned by Google

Year after year some of the most interesting long-form material arises from Usenix and FOSDEM. Does anyone have a list of conferences similar in quality? Ideally related to computing, but really any conference of experts talking about inter
