David Eddings' books are also my favorite of all time, agree about Belgariad and Mallorean. That reminds me that I should start them again. Thanks for bringing back a great memory!

I don't understand why executives don't seem to understand the basics of effective communication. It's not like they don't have access to staff and expertise here. When you have difficult news to share, get it out first.

Well done! And thank you to the Open Tech Fund for sponsoring work to protect everyone who uses Homebrew.

I'm surprised that they didn't find a market for the `.off` TLD.

Take photos of them, or cut the binding and scan them all, and then feed the work out to mechanical turk?

Obligatory "just get a Brother printer" comment. They are the cast iron pans of printing technology, the kind that your kids and grandkids will inherit some day.

How ironic! My short- and long-term objective is to avoid HP printers at all cost. Obligatory plug for Brother printers without any of this nonsense.

I read through the first couple parts, this is exceptionally well written, clear, and AFAICT, accurate. Nicely done.

You can find higher-quality JPEGs (yes, still lossy, and not super high quality) by replacing: Thumbnail: https://codex-atlanticus.ambrosiana.it/assets/100/000R-220.j... Direct Image URL (default, 500 pixels wide)

I'd add QuickBasic 4.5, though I suppose that was late 80s. I still have the book that came with it around here somewhere. It was the first programming language / environment I used where I felt I could go beyond toy scripts.

Yep, I'm sure it's nostalgia, but AGI/SCI have a special place in my heart. I played King's Quest 3 a few months ago through to the end and it was everything I'd hoped it would be. I really wish someone would point

Just a couple troubleshooting idea that come to mind: - Which memory column are you looking at? (differences between private, committed, shared, working set, etc.) - Are you running WSL, virtual machines, or anything like that? - Is your ac

Hard pass. No longer doomscrolling and chasing adrenaline fixes on social media has improved my quality of life immeasurably. Obviously to each their own, but I've given up looking for a non-toxic social media platform.

This is particularly annoying because the "Report incorrect product information" link doesn't work properly, and due to "suspicious activity", only verified customers can submit a review. So you can't tell Amaz

The differences may be all in my head, but I've been very happy with a USB Dragonfly DAC and a pair of quality headphones, along with high/master quality input.

This is super cool, but I didn't see how much energy was put into the system in order to generate the output 57 MW, and whether the output energy was all usable (e.g. could the team have actually boiled 60 kettles of water?). It'd

I love this, yes. Root cause analysis ("How did this thing happen in the first place, does it exist anywhere else, and how can we prevent it from happening again?") should be a core part of our work in Alpha-Omega, and we should i

We need both, actually. We need corporate/similar participants to help pay the bills. We have enough funding to get off the ground, but we want to be able to scale up quite a bit. Corporate participants might have other benefits, like

Hi! I co-lead the Alpha-Omega project, and I'd be happy to answer any questions. We won't have all the answers, though - it's still very early days in this project, and we're going to learn a lot in the coming weeks and

I'm sorry you had a bad experience with LF projects. We absolutely need independent developers in the OpenSSF - if the only voices that are heard are the "enterprise" voices, we're going to come up solutions that work
