People just share what they find interesting and not everyone here was paying attention when Bill Gates weighed in on iTunes licensing, some were to young and some just didn't care. Your post comes across as self aggrandizing but mostl

Information scarcity has not been an issue in a long time, most people have far more information than they need or know what to do with, hence the rise of analysis paralysis. AI will help sift through the information but it will not help mu

Hypercard could be reworked without the drag and drop, double tap or long press pops up a menu, select what you need from the menu. It would work like every other phone app and leverage the other apps which come stock, want to place a pictu

Sure but that market was just starting out in the early 80s, even gaming was more of something they could do not really something they were sold for, the cool kids had a 2600, geeks had computers.

I miss OSS and /dev/dsp, being able to write to the audio output like it was a file was great fun. I spent many hours back in the day just using bash scripting to make sound, I never got things good enough to make any worthwhile m

That sounds about right for the 30-40' range with decent gear and a finished interior. Some makers will sell bare hull, so no interior, no gear which can save a great deal of money. Most of us just exploit that boats depreciate just as

Racing also helps support them, but most of that is also people with ridiculous amounts of money to throw around.

This has nothing to do with the economy and even if Montana somehow managed to block any and all access to TikTok within their borders the only effect it would have on any economies is a tiny drop in their own revenue from taxes and an even

More pragmatically, the big yachts are what keep the industry afloat and without them the options for the average sailor would be limited to say the least. There is not much business for the navel architects and boat yards out there when it

The problem is that everyone implements those nonlinearities as isolated and largely static things, which they are not, they are dynamic and interact in complex ways. From what I can tell the vast majority of people who implement these mode

It is like linux if Canonical never happened, so like linux 20 years ago. The ports system is nice. FreeBSD is my fallback in case Patrick gives in to the changing linux world and I have to abandon Slackware or start learning OS stuff again
