Back in the day, I did quite a bit of programming, professionally, on 6800-family CPUs, mainly 6850 and kin. It was an absolute pleasure to work with. The 6502, by comparison, felt like an absolute nightmare.
The book Willem says he is reading, by Joe Keohane, talks about the benefits of talking to strangers, and calls this "connecting". That is not at all what psychologists mean by "connecting". I talk to people all the…

I just realized - the logos of Windows 3.x through 7 look more like flags than they look like windows. I wonder what the reasoning was behind that? I'm sure it has been documented/analyzed somewhere.
looks cool, but D specific. how easy would it be to generalize this?
omg, this is primo java trolling. at least, I think you're being sarcastic...
Or, for extra challenge/fun, as a stage play.
Since you can't call it the slashdot effect, obviously...
I don't think they're federated. They don't transparently share data using a common protocol under the hood. They simply link to each other. They're a web.
I was also a #gplusrefugee on pluspora :-) Very sad to see it go. Once a nomad, always a nomad, I guess? I joined Nerdica not long after joining pluspora, but wasn't active there because the (web) UX is pretty poor. But…
Show up, pay, and ride? Like getting on the subway? Not workable, for two reasons: 1, from the passengers' perspective, you need to get to Indianapolis, and when you show up, there are no seats, or worse, no flights. 2,…
Apparently not 100% of National Forest is freely usable. I learned this lesson painfully not long ago. I planned my overnight campout "carefully"... but there were still things I didn't know, even after reading…
Why do you say it's a non-SI unit? Seems to me it is. I mean, it's a derived unit, not a fundamental unit; but still SI.
I do feel bad for those who have lost their social net during the pandemic; loneliness sucks, I know it. At the same time, I find it hard to be sympathetic because - it must be nice to have had a social net to lose! For…

Hit us up on Twitter. Eh, I think not. The "commands" I create are, most often, small tools for my own use, so I don't worry about making the names short. I always try to make the name a verb, or include a verb, e.g.…

It isn't always fake. I used to work in a retail chain store (I won't say its name, but it ends with "xx" and starts with "TJ") and we were trained to use certain codes on the PA when we needed security to come deal…
