Yeah, this particular bullet point almost made me stop reading the rest of the article thinking that the author has zero idea what the hell they're on about...
Windows 7 was certainly pretty, but I still think that W2000 was peak Windows UI (and I've been around since Windows 2.0)
Absolutely beautiful.
... and that's the trick, isn't it. Have you ever tried going into an electrical store and buying a dumb TV any time recently?
True. But corruption by those in positions of power and influence is a problem as old as the ages, sadly. But at least there _are_ rules and penalties in place for those caught so there's an element of risk. Whereas the…
This sort of blanket data collection needs to be made illegal in every single jurisdiction, and have _very_ robust penalties for anyone found in breach of them.
Turn on caveman mode first?
This morning I asked Claude to provide a summary of the work it had done but to '... explain it as if you were talking to a moron' and it actually turned out a quite comprehensible summary. So going to continue trying…
But what if I _really like_ Duran Duran???
Awesome. Have starred the repo and will have a look through it later tonight when I'm done with work.
True, that's an option, but a native build would be optimal
Presumably though Canva subscriptions? Shame it's only Mac/Windows compatible. I'd kill for a Linux build.
I had it several years ago when I was running my own one-man consultancy [ie: self-employed] ... somehow I'd managed to have six or seven people on LI claiming to work for the same company. Reported them to LI and…
Love the closeout of the article: "On page 112 there are coffee stains where the caffeine blots are somehow still a valid Perl program."
There were a couple of cartoon series by Cosgrove-Hall that were _really_ well done. (Wyrd Sisters and Soul Music)
I read it, and I cried like a baby. Still do whenever I reach for it.
> LN2 had something in a bathroom? You have to position yourself in the doorway and do a squat of faith) Sounds like every time I go to the bathroom ... :D
I get the same. Work has shifted to being agentic first - and whenever I use anything other than Claude Opus it seems that the model easily gets lost spinning its wheels on even the simplest query - especially with some…
> "I think it depends on what you find enjoyable" Exactly this. I use agents every day to either produce tests for code I've written according to the guidelines I set out for it, or to produce the boilerplate code…
Cannabis in the UK is still illegal, so unless you're picking up weed from your local dealer, it's not a big thing outside the home. But price of booze is killing pubs here. Getting close to £8 a pint now in London. £10…
They're mentioned in the article (with a photo)
I always thought the internals were encased in potting compound for these things to prevent exactly this scenario (certainly the ones I had for LightWave back in the day were)...
Copying listings from computer magazines into a ZX81 ... could never get the damn tape drive to save anything that would then reload (either a cheap tape deck, or cheap tapes)... so had no choice but to hand-code. Also,…
You could try the new remake of Avernum 4: Greed & Glory (first part of the second Avernum trilogy - no need to have played the first trilogy as this is entirely standalone):…
Geez ... that's a heckuvalotta pron consumption ...
