I've re-read the original Foundation trilogy around ten times over the years. Sure the writing is clunky, it's a product of its time (~40s-50's) and a bit "Boys Own". But if you can get past that the story itself is

I've read a ton of speculative fiction over the years (I'm in my mid 50's) but had never gotten around to reading anything by Ursula Le Guin. One day whilst catching up on some anarchist reading I found The Dispossessed liste

Unless you want to use 33 then I'd just jump right over to 34. My general purpose Fedora PC has made the two version jump a couple of times in the past without a jelly trouser moment.

The problem with EPEL is that it's not supported by Redhat, and the packages that reside there are, for want of a better phrase, ephemeral. There are no guarantees. If you're after a long term and well supported solution then EPEL

I usually keep up with TextPad's updates, and also bought and paid for it and their other tool called WildEdit which is pretty neat. Also TextPad's ability to handle monster files was and still is quite impressive.

I watched that last night. Alec's a tremendous educator and come a long way since his early videos (which are also still good). I really enjoyed his deep dive into how dishwashers work :)

CP/M wasn't that terrible. Some of my first paid development work circa 1985 was writing dBase II apps, with WordStar as an editor, on CP/M on a rather nice NEC PC. It did enough to allow small/medium sized businesses to

I really wish folks would stop the TLDR thing as it's another form of editorialising (which we're discouraged to do with titles) and writing up a short interpretation which in many cases is subjective, quite often wrong, and loses
