Also, wireless makes it impossible to have a USB hub on the keyboard, which is nice to free up clutter on the desk. Otherwise I'd need an extra hub.

Yes, that's what I meant: Thinkpads, typically, have a little red knob in the keyboard center, which is a tactile device, that lets the user control the mouse cursor very precisely. The patent has expired and this is why some third par

If I could get an ErgoDox with Trackpoint , I would be all set. Sadly, it seems, they do not have a Trackpoint integration. The only commercially available I know is the Ultimate Hacking Keyboard V2 , but I like the ErgoDox more. And th

"Distributed HTML"? I thought DHTML meant "Dynamic HTML"?! Or is he being sarcastic?

Bah, PeeZee! Nothing could ever beat AmIRC2[1] on Amiga! Especially when you were running "Kuang 11"[2], which developed from a client script into a shared library, written in some compiler language and offering, itself, a script

I wonder what ever happened to SIP presence and text messaging (and related specs)?

Coming from Germany I just could not hold it back... ;-) Besides that, I doubt, that they all are independent products, but rather one of the named platforms.

macOS had this since Leopard days. First it was implemented via the OpenMeta([1],[2]) and later, by Apple, via Maverick meta tags. They both use the XATTRS of the filesystem to store the meta-data. I didn't use macOS for a long time no

For that you would need to convert the recipes into some format, that is easy to query, like https://schema.org/Recipe or http://www.formatdata.com/recipeml/ At least the JSON conversion would be nice

The most thorough format I know of (and which is the one I use) is http://www.formatdata.com/recipeml/ Though, this here is much easier to edit. May need to create a converter ;-)

I consider them long copyright periods, but not extremely long. I can tolerate life+70 years. Though, I'd prefer them, ideally, to be life+25 years and, considering life ain't ideal, life + 50. But I can live with life+70. But not

In Germany, the concept of "Public Domain" does not exist. (EDIT: It may exist 70 years after the authors death). IANAL. Besides that, even if it would, the books would not have been in the Public Domain. From the announcement: &g

Microsoft: Too big to fail. Open Source: Too good to fail. That's why Microsoft can't "own" open source. So they decided to "own" the open source developer by owning the source repository he uses, owning the ed

Now if cal(1) could produce this, that would be even more awesome. Currently it does this by default: Oktober 2021 So Mo Di Mi Do Fr Sa 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

I did not find it outside of Hungary, yet, but there they have a mustard mixed with horseradish[1]. Since this type of mustard is unknown where I live, I tried to recreate it, but never achieved the same balance as in the commercial product
