Back in '85-6 I developed training for USDA (using Dan Bricklin's Demo) for a curses version of Word 5 that ran on 3B2s with SysV v2. I'd be very happy to see that ported to Linux or one of the BSDs. In fact, I'd love…
Perhaps one could say, "It was clear who was right and who was wrong--whichever side you were on, that side was right and the other side was wrong" whichever struggle is being considered. Whichever faction you…
Illinois manages to be as much as 55% blue because Cook County/Chicago overwhelmingly votes Democrat, and always has.
Chicago (Cook County) went 83% for Clinton in 2016, 74% for Obama in 2012, 76% for Obama in 2008, 79% for Kerry in 2004 and 68% for Gore in 2000. Biden's 2020 numbers were on the low side of average for a Democrat…
History rather suggests that both antecedents will occur, assured or not. MS isn't known for keeping tools around for decades.
Agree wholeheartedly with your (a) and (b), and would add: (c) Emacs won't disappear after a few years (where "few" can mean decades if your career lasts that long - mine ran from 1967 to 2011 and I still use emacs…
Wrong type of Bugatti - I was hoping that it would be a Type 35 or something of that ilk. Too bad.
There seem to be a lot of Apple users who wouldn't agree. My MacBook Pro is early 2011 so I haven't been able to use the newest, but I can't say that each upgrade from Lion to High Sierra was clearly an improvement for…
Can't help thinking of the Yogi Berra quote (whether he said it or not), "Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded." Seems like there are a lot of folks interested in blogging support, considering that nobody reads…
I've remained informed about these issues without frequenting any "news" sources. Government, hospital, pharmacy sites all provide that without the "clickbait" factor (or at least with much less).
"engine fires..." not gas tanks.
Not if, when.
"hide shortcomings" like what? Doesn't language like "by default" infer/suggest/imply that there would be circumstances in which they would save logs? And wouldn't an obvious circumstance like that be a warrant?
Not sure that history would prove that out. Highly structured, militaristic colonial powers (Inca and Aztec, Mandarin Chinese, Vedic Indian, Persian, Egyptian, Roman, Western European) all had pretty good runs. Have…
It's a poor person's problem, doesn't apply here...right?
It almost sounds ironic...and not everyone likes irony.
"In some cases, no amount of context will allow this content to remain on our platforms..." sounds exactly like they will "go into your drive and remove doubleplusungood content."
Yet another reason to avoid using cloud (i.e., someone else's computer that you don't control) products.
"you guys"?
My father served on the U.S.S. Kadashan Bay, CVE-76, part of Taffy 2 during the Leyte landings. The bravery of the men of the Johnston, the other destroyers and the aircraft crews who so harassed Vice-Adm. Kurita's…
Consider "Britain BC" and "Britain AD" by Francis Pryor for a start. One thing that the recent (since I was in university in the '60s) archaeology has taught us (yet again) is that no one writes history without having…
I've been using stand developing with my Tri-X film, and delight in the results, so the thought of being able to get similar results with my digital work sounds great. Thanks!
Very nicely done. Takes me back...
So far, those open AA meetings had all their access tokens advertised on the web - as open AA meetings do. Yes, there's a "WarDialing" app that can find Zoom calls, but I've seen no reports of calls that had passwords…
This article seems to either miss the point or deplore the reality that the news media is an entertainment business, not an important information dissemination service. What gets "on the news" is what will get eyes on…
