Matter of taste. I like eating cocoa beans. Oddly, I cannot stand the smell of coffee.
I read somewhere that transplanted organs adopt the age of the recipient, contradicting the hopes of people who want to live forever by replacing their organs regularly. Didn’t Putin allude to that recently ?

When in Rome do as the romans. Different cultural habits can shock Japanese; this has nothing to do with race. There are lots of ethnic Japanese, born and raised in Brazil, who went on to work & live in Japan. Many…
I was introduced to ucsd pascal on apple 2 but switched to Ada by the time turbo pascal came out. This intro is nice but I feel Ada is the way to go if one is into wirthian languages.
Chademo is a turn off though
Two days ago while fixing our 7 year old Samsung washer (a 1 cent coin blocking the drain pump impeller) I read the user manual for the first time and found out you can install an app that connects with it and “smart…
Tried it on my 2010 iMac. Works like a charm, interesting setup and ui choices. Not sure I’ll stick with it but I’m impressed.
These apologetic “no fan of musk”, “before Elon became crazy” are tiresome. You got a Tesla, just own it. We liked the guy when he started that electric car thing, now it’s different but he’s no mass murderer.

My favorite logo on macOS is https://www.alancsmith.co.uk/logo/ First dabbled with logo on my apple ][, attracted by turtle graphics like many others.
Katakana (the above character set representing syllables) is used for words of foreign origin, which this pastry is. In turn it stems from French « langue de chat ».
When we shifted houses and used a Japanese moving company, I was very surprised as movers removed their shoes every time they stepped into our places, both old and new. Oh, they also had gloves on when packing our…

I used to eat rabbit often until the 2000’s. Most butcher shops in France had rabbit, presented skinned, gutted and whole. Pretty good meat! A colleague was even including rabbit in the «poultry» category …
Computer to Minitel ttl yes. However the modem part was limited to those paltry figures. I still have mine in the basement. Maybe its capacitors are all busted…time to give it a spin !
The Minitel can be used as a modem too, albeit a cumbersome and very slow one: 1200bps down, 75bps up. Bps as in bits per second. That’s how I connected to bbses and nntp before I finally got a 2400bps real modem. Nice…

When I stopped taking it, I went from 12 reps to 10, and slower recovery. My level at tennis dropped too, but bicycle endurance remained the same. I stopped because of high blood creatinine, and wanted to see what…

Still using the AVP but not exclusively, about 3 hours a day, with a hardware Bluetooth keyboard. Mostly multiple safari windows opening on servers via webterm, cli and emacs. It’s especially great when traveling. Only…
I am spending about three hours a day using my AVP. Not getting headaches or anything like that. I don’t have a suitable MacBook or Mac mini so no virtual display. For development work, I use webterm (webified ghostty)…
I could hold the whole 6502 instruction set (and their cycles) in my mind while programming, it was that simple. I acquired a Z-80 softcard for my Apple ][ (for trying out CPM) and was flabbergasted by the expanded…
