This is excellent. Can I suggest a couple of improvements? 1. Maybe have a "par" for each hole. 2. Be able to better see the layout of multi-level holes, i.e. the ones with slopes. Other than that this is a really nice lunchtime d

I was fully ticketed by IBM as a field engineer, but it still didn't make me like Microchannel any better :)

VESA Local Bus supplemented ISA. It did mostly see use as a graphics card expansion slot, but you could get various I/O cards. I saw a couple of boards in my lifetime that had those slots, thankfully didn't need to support them.

EISA was the rest of the industry's middle finger response to IBM's MCA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_Industry_Standard_Arc... As a former field engineer I was glad to see the back of MCA.

I know it's a bit anecdotal but I definitely feel there's been a drop off in the number of AMP links I've seen in the last wee while. Ultimately I won't click them anyway, just like link shorteners.

The Express is an unhinged xenophobic right wing "newspaper" specialising in othering. Just do a google search for "uk express news paper front covers". See also the Daily Mail its partner in crime in nastyness.

Ok, so I'm an idiot and didn't read the article properly. I thought this was a follow up. That'll teach me to read articles more carefully. My apologies everyone.

Thanks for the reply. I'm tentatively in the market just now for a discussion forum app for a client and this posting on HN was somewhat serendipitous.

I'm not being a pedant. Presumptions and assumptions are how we got into this mess in the first place.

Tangentially related, Mentour Pilot had some interesting takes on the future of the Russian civilian aviation industry the other day. As you'd expect, it's not a great outlook for them: https://www.youtube.com/watc
