I learned about this site from the TV show "Going Deep with David Rees" (episode 2)! I recommend that show if you haven't seen it.

I found an HP-12c at Savers for like $2 about 2 years ago! It's a "financial calculator" and I don't really know how to use it :-)

Maybe it's just me, but I hate the word "agentic" so much.

Sorry Spotify, but if it's AI-generated then by [my] definition it's "slop." We - or at least I - don't want AI music, we don't care about your AI. I'm just so tired of hearing about AI and new AI stuff.

I meant in general. For whatever reason, I forgot that Go uses a gopher as its mascot. But like, their PHP books don't use an elephant. I dunno, I was just curious if the author could pick an animal to be on the cover, or if it wasn&#

I have a small collection of programming/technology books, some from O'Reilly, others from Manning and No Starch Press. I've read them and they have been very helpful, but I will admit that I been buying less books. They ta

This has nothing to do with the article posted or anything, I was just curious... who gets to pick the animal on the book cover? Do you (the author) get to pick, or does the publisher (O'Reilly) pick?

That's actually what I thought this submission was. Didn't remember what it was called, so I didn't realize PhotoGIMP wasn't GIMPshop.

I guess it's been a while since I used those type of sites. I admit that I used to, and I do remember those sites like megaupload or whatever that had a timer.

Fair enough. I do remember using those sites back in the day, and the `.rar.000`, `.rar.001` file lists (or was it `.part1.rar`, `.part2.rar`?). I guess I haven't visited or thought about those sites in a while.

I remember using download managers back in the day, and by "back in the day" I mean dial-up (and maybe early DSL). I liked being able to pause downloads and possibly split them up using multiple connections. Nowadays, are downloa

Last night on AEW Dynamite [1], Tony Schiavone and Sting had some very nice things to say about Ted Turner. I didn't know he'd died until then. They both talked about how Ted started WCW and how he defended pro wrestling when ce

I didn't have a PostScript file, so I had to find one. I downloaded the test files from here: http://users.fred.net/tds/lab/postscript.html Minus the colors, they worked and look pretty good.

I love my AT&T Unix PC. I picked it up from someone on craigslist in 2018. It's fun to use and to see what computing was like before I was born. I don't know too much about the machine's history or its place in the mark

I used to use wxHexEditor and that had a feature where I could select a section of the file and highlight it in a color. When I was working to decode a certain file format, I used that to color-code different sections of the file and it wa

This was one of the first - if not the first - CD I bought for myself, using my own (allowance) money! I was probably too young to listen to it, but blink-182 is my favorite band and I listened to this CD so many times that I pretty much m

Sorry, but Twitter is only for bots now. Real humans need not log on. /s That being said, I assume that it flagged the amount/frequency of likes or whatever other activity and thought it was suspicious. Probably used Grok to do

Is TBPN really considered "major" (seeing as most of the comments I've seen are how no one's heard of them before) or are you just being sarcastic?

I clicked on the link and the video title is "Decoding Escher's most mind-bending piece", which is a lot better. I also had no idea what "3B1B video" meant, apparently it's a channel called "3Blue1Brown&q

I remember playing this all the time on my TI-83+. That calculator is where I really learned to program. I wrote programs in TI-BASIC - mostly to solve equations for my math/science classes, but some games too. It's been so lon
