   Funny you mention VW because the 914 is a VW. In fact, the name was originally VW-Porsche 914 from what I remember. A buddy’s dad bought one for $4K when they came out.

   Julian is still my favorite book and Creation is a wonderful read. He understood how man worked very well. Lapham is sorely missed as well.

   Mac-Like is quite the stretch. I’ve always found KDE to be the least attractive desktop environment. It’s like the devs spent a decade copying windows and then finally realized that was a mistake and now it’s in sort of a limbo where it loo

   Not during batting. For pitching changes they do and pitching changes are more frequent now that starters “only” pitch 100 pitches or less. Time between innings seems to have a higher ad load though it’s inconsistent from what I can tell de

   neocities.org for http is nice, gopher sphere is still a thing, Gemini is pretty cool. The old web is still around and pretty fun to surf. Recommend Lagrange.

   I'm convinced the people suggesting this type of thing are influenced or even compromised by their constituent's enemies and NOT the result of poor education on the topic. This policy for example would be most helpful to enemies t

   Designers who remove scroll bars and window borders so you can’t click and drag are computing’s version of a terrorist. It’s an active assault on performance.

    Spectators used to stand in the outfield with the players to get close enough to yell obscenities at them. :)

    I still attend a lot of minor league games. I sit close and watch every pitch, a habit I developed growing up in a family full of minor and even major league umps. It’s a lovely way to spend a summer evening. Sadly minor league numbers are

    Exciting! I am consistently blown away by the talent of the ffmpeg maintainers. This is fairly hard stuff in my opinion and they do it for free.

    Love this and might downgrade (upgrade?)from Mojave which is when I stopped upgrading the Mac OS. Apple was still a computer company before Mojave instead of a bank wrapped in an ad network. Or is it an ad network wrapped in a bank? I can’t

    I’ve been a user during the alpha/beta process and their response rate to bug fixes has been great imo. The frequent posters kickstarting the flywheel are pretty spammy but I think it’s to drive traffic to publishers who have consisten

    I typically use Moondraw for ASCII diagrams but this is pretty great for when you're already in Vim.

    I feel like https://github.com/buckket/twtxt didn't get enough love when it was released. Registry hosting doesn't seem to be any harder than DNS.

    I respect using plain text for everything so kudos to OP. That said, I use Things by Cultured Code because I really like it. Does everything I want on my various computing devices.

    I wrote homegrown systems for HFT firms (citadel, RGM, etc) 23 years ago and it’s incredible what they just open sourced but agree with you that it’s the backend that might be the limiting factor. We got to a point where we had to license d

    I agree with you. DHH is a big ruby guy so my expectation was he’d use brew.

    We recently replaced Oracle financials for two of our customers-mid size manufacturers doing around $10B/yr in revs. We’re pretty small so grateful they trust us with that level of work.

    Irix made panes active on mouse over. Which was at times very helpful and other times widely distracting.

    Ton of performance upside in most GPU adjacent code right now. However , is this what arXiv is for? It seems more like marketing their links than research. Please correct me if I'm wrong/naive on this topic.
