Uh, what do you mean, you can't use a scanner via USB? Did they stop putting USB ports on computers? (I haven't bought a new one in a while.) Or does your OS not provide the software to connect to it? I guess I just…
What a horrible web site. I hit "reload", and I now have two copies of the LH Menu. In IFRAMEs. I was able to see a couple of the items, then that broke. I click and nothing happens. Some people just can't be trusted…
OK, so way at the bottom it says this: "This title does not impose liability on an operating system provider, a covered application store, or a developer that arises from the use of a device or application by a person…
"For the purpose of....covered application stores." I'd like to see that definition. My OS doesn't have an "application store", so I doubt it's impacted by this law.
This is no longer true. Most obvious example is Firefox. The Debian Project allows Firefox to update outside the packaging system, automatically, at the whim of Firefox. And there's the inclusion of non-Free software in…
I've done something similar at my job. I don't think it implicates privacy because 1) it's a list of misses from the (public) dictionary, and 2) the email is sent as the program, not as the user. So if the user…
I'm using it now. It's my primary wm for all my machines. I don't need a "desktop"; I just want something to manage windows. I don't "drag-n-drop". And I don't systemd, plus I kill as much of the rest of their…
A lot will depend on where you are in your maturity as a programmer. And what sort of work you want to do. I've always done well following Don Lancaster's advice: Hit the basics, HARD. Most modern software "innovations"…

If you liked this article, Henry Petroski's "The Book on the Bookshelf" is worth reading. He goes into great detail about the history, explaining why books were usually chained to their shelves, etc. If you don't know…
Look at the earliest computers, that is, those around the time of ENIAC. Most were electro-mechanical, some were entirely relay machines. I believe EDSAC was the first _electronic_ digital computer. As for weird, try…
Use the darknet. Get a list of possible texts, then download them. Figure out which one teaches the way you need to learn, then go buy that one. Used.
I think it's important to note that his work used the proper materials and workmanship. It was essentially an "official" sign, just done by a volunteer. I remember driving through there before and after. I was happy…
Don Lancaster had a software-only method for syncing to the video scan, called the Vaporlock. Which is a play on "genlock", which TV production systems called their hardware to sync to the scan for doing overlays. Don's…
Even if you never RYOMS, this book shows you how email actually works, down to the bare metal. That's knowledge worth having.
That's interesting as a programming exercise, but HP's plotters all had a built-in language called HP-GL. And there's a GPL'ed tool that will emit HP-GL. I just can't recall what it's called. Seems like it was built in…
There's a bug in the detection script. The line: if [ "$path" == "" ] should be if [ "$path" = "" ]
If he's "searching Earhart's plane", doesn't that imply that he's found it? Or is he searching a plane he _thinks_ was Earhart's, trying to find confirmation from the contents of it? On the other hand, if he's…
Thanks for that. I can't read the article, probably because I block WASM (and Javascript) for security. None of my ebook readers have Internet access (for security and for privacy), so none of those internet-only epub…
...and now you know why I don't run systemd. I believe their thought process is: what would Windows do? This is an example. For instance, the desktop shell still crashes often. In the old days, this would lock up the…
Glad to be of help. I think the only one I have (yes, I kept all my SBS books) is Miss Pickerell Goes To Mars.
What's wrong with Pic? Been around for decades.
I scrolled to the bottom to find his bottom line, which is that "you can't run an email server". Which is interesting, since I do exactly that. I've been running from a low-cost VPS for 10-15 years, and have zero…
They had (have?) some Hopper's on display at the Huntington Museum. I realized that even the best art books are unable to reproduce the stunning colors of the originals. It was the visual equivalent of CD audio versus…
Most of this guy's questions could have been answered by reading the very Wikipedia article he cites. For example, "a HEPA air filter must remove—from the air that passes through—at least 99.95% (ISO, European Standard)…
