I still have one. It still boots last time I checked a few years ago (either SuSE or Red Hat 5.x IIRC) although it's battery is now kaput and can only work plugged in. It was my workhorse in college and it was amazing throughout years

Her departure is about as material as having a second appendix. Her presence was to paper over the management failures of Elon Musk, and all she did was put them in stark relief by being a non-entity during her tenure (a sad debasement for

I learned MUMPS years ago at UC Davis (Dick Walters, one of the language maintainers, was tenured there) and I found it a really interesting, but deeply weird language. Walters himself was a considerate, patient dude with me, struggling to

The tech side, while having (IMHO) some quirks, did really well under the poor leadership. Chris Bolt was walking glue and baling wire, and I was always impressed at what he could keep going under a shoestring budget. Ryan Ford was a great
