Yeah, I quite like System.CommandLine.DragonFruit particularly for what should be throwaway test apps, I like the way you just add the parameters into main.

For the Apple II there are already some reproductions of the Rev 0 PCB but there are already plenty of originals (non-rev0) out there in the wild, they're not really rare enough (particularly given their use in the US schools system).

Reminds me of the circuit in the Apple II red book manual https://archive.org/details/apple2_manual_a2rb/page/n115/mod... Which does just that.

Docker works fine with WSL1, I don't think I can use WSL2 at work as we're waiting on the next LTS version of Windows.

I was planning on an automated check on my passwords via my password manager to see which one have been stolen. Since my passwords are mostly (I may have missed changing some after the linkedin breach) unique these days I thought I could pr

You can export the key to something else (and it's worth doing) personally I've gone for passing it to Microsoft (I'm not sure I could find whatever USB key I've stored it on otherwise). The option is under "Manage

That's the usual position for them prior to the 102 key keyboard introduction. Really wrecked the Ctrl sequences of wordstar and the movement diamond. I've been wondering about recreating an classic AT keyboard layout for my own u

Yeah with a CoolerMaster Hyper 212 and a single fan I get idle of 40-45 and a high of 76 and I tend to run with fans set to be mostly silent. With a bit of a noisier experience I seem to recall idle was under 40.

They are relatively enforceable as part of a compromise agreement. However the last one I signed was quite restricted in that it was for 12 months and only listed 4 direct competitors. Normally the companies lawyer tries for more and your l

Pretty sure from my college days it has a full tcp stack, certainly I remember running X11R3 on A/UX and using two machines to get decent performance (one as server, one as client)

Stuff that you'd expect to be a lot better like objectives and reviews seem to involve a lot of scrolling and very little of it feels natural. You can sort of smell whatever the internal framework is leaking through into the UI. We&#x2

Probably because the PDP & Intel 8080 were typically octal systems rather than hex, the 8080 instruction set decoded nicely in octal (or at least the MOV A,H instructions). By the time the 8086 arrived the micro-computer world had moved

I assume in part this is because the Rider test explorer is based on the one in Resharper. Some stuff it does better is things like running 64 bit and 32 bit tests at the same time, supporting both nUnit 2 & 3 without having to disable&

There are enough of them, to be honest I passed my degree by the skin of my teeth because I'd spent a year out in industry and found some of it a bit too academic. I do still however fondly remember my CS101 course with Richard Bornat

This isn't always the case that simplistic algorithms don't cause issues Bruce Dawson keeps on finding O(n^2) algorithms in windows that keep on biting him. I'm always impressed with his work. https://randomascii.w

I would agree given I worked on an Ethernet chipset back in 1988/9 keeping the PLL synched was not a problem. I can't remember what the maximum packet size we supported was (my guess is 2048) but that was more of a buffering to SR
