I also continue to use Pinboard, for much the same reasons. Since 2010! I don't use the social features but it's nice to have a tool that's been constant and reliable for over a decade.

Go on...

Very cool. I get the vibe of those old HyperCard games (Myst, The Manhole, Inigo Gets Out). HyperCard was simple enough anyone could hack a game together, lowering the bar for creators. I bet something great comes from this. Kudos!

Aztec C was the first C compiler for the Mac I remember... I think it was 1985? It was self-hosted too, no Lisa required. But Think C (and Think Pascal) were the real game-changers for me.

One way was Java applets. Back in the mid-nineties, applets were the only way to make web pages meaningfully flashy and interactive. They pioneered the space later conquered by Flash.

Oh don't worry, I'll bet they re-use it when they have a working retina display. And the trademark will still be in place!

I mean, IIRC Apple was the first company to use the phrase "personal computer," so perhaps literally true? If not quite what you meant.

Close to what you're asking for: https://conroy.org/apple-stock

Tell that to my Windows 10 install, because it's displaying a hodge-dodge of non-uniformly scaled bullshit.

Solved would mean I'm not hacking a scaling factor into the perforce config file to get its window to match the rest of the UI. Solved would mean that Windows handled it for everything drawing windows.

That video stopped me from putting down a deposit on a Mach-E. Gonna WFH and see how that cooling system pans out over a year or so.

...which has "NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3080 Laptop GPU 16GB GDDR6" for its GPU.

I believe the poster was referring to the practice of testing if an app was installed by calling [UIApplication canOpenURL:] —- as I recall Twitter was found to check for hundreds of different apps, to feed into their ads and analytics business, and Apple later changed it to only be callable 50 times.

FFS. He's just looking for an internship.

He's demonstrating competence in writing go (and yes, selecting 3rd party libraries and stitching them together is often a skill you need in the Real World), using docker, understanding web apps with Svelte + typescript, etc. Scratching his own itch, literally the original hacker ethos.

Nice work, OP. Good luck in your search.

You can replicate that without going overseas. Send that autonomous vehicle over the Golden Gate bridge, take any of the next few exits, and turn right. The street I live on is a paved horse path from the 1910s. No snowdrifts, but a lot of aggressive drivers angrily refusing to back up, which will be fun to see software deal with!

We actually do "illegalise" casualties by human drivers.

Sounds like Apportable: https://github.com/apportable

Our company used them for some games and other things. I once ported a UIKit app that used autolayout and was surprised at well it worked. They were acquired by Google IIRC.

For me, the ideal terminal is a modern GUI document, backed by a file, with cut-copy-paste, mouse editing, and an insertion point. Using the "terminal" shouldn't be a weird different mode of interaction.

BBEdit's Worksheet is the closest I've seen to this (and before that, MPW, but now I'm just showing my age). But BBEdit doesn't handle curses, which can be very limiting.

Have an upvote, you deserved better for this.

Check out Ken Kocienda's "Creative Selection".

Last year I was able to get it working by looking at examples like https://github.com/lewapek/sds-dust-sensors-arduino-library and the datasheet https://cdn.sparkfun.com/assets/parts/1/2/2/7/5/Laser_Dust_S...

There's a nice walkthrough here: https://www.hackster.io/taunoerik/using-sds011-dust-sensor-0...

Checking it out and I think you're missing a requirement: readability-lxml maybe?

Can you share your blocklist, please?

Exactly my first thought too. Micropython's ubluetooth might be usable for this.

I'm pretty pleased with the Lilygo products. Here one with a an ESP32, case, screen, and keyboard for $45:

Similarly, a favorite ESP8266 hack of mine is this Apple I emulator that includes wireless PAL output:

"A-Punk" for me. How do car manufacturers not notice things like this?

AquaticPrime perhaps?

I know it's ancillary to the excellent twitter thread, but I was surprised to learn 1970's computing pioneer Bill Godbout was killed in the Camp fire.

...ironic to discover life on another planet just as we're hitting the Great Filter here.

When I was a kid, I used to buy EEPROMs at the local electronics store and burn them with the Apple ][ lower-case characters. I sold them in my dad's computer store, along with a wire that would connect the shift key to the last paddle button on the game port. It was a common hack, and some software would actually recognize it and properly display upper/lower characters.
