> Across Carter’s term, artists including Nelson, Charles Mingus, Loretta Lynn, Bob Dylan, Sarah Vaughan, Cecil Taylor, Linda Ronstadt (who had campaigned against Carter with her then-boyfriend Jerry Brown), the Staple Singers, Cher (and her then-boyfriend, Gregg Allman) and Tom T. Hall either visited or performed at the White House. Crosby, Stills and Nash once dropped by the place unannounced. Carter made time for them.

‘Jimmy Carter: Rock & Roll President’ is well worth watching, even if (like me) this isn’t your favourite kind of music

Got AppZapper from a bundle maybe a decade ago. Still works.

As a CI company, their ‘customer data’ is source code!

I got ‘Cambridgeshire Considered Dangerous’ - much less HN front page but it made me laugh

Haven’t managed to find a site (apart from HN) that it does allow yet!

Safari on iPadOS 16 loads that just fine for me.

I’d forgotten all about this site, don’t remember ever using it but I certainly heard of it.

Still my MB desktop image, after all these years - https://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zqwHotW-IDI/RyjMm9VamYI/AAAAAAAAA...

IMO the best site was Oink’s Pink Palace. After that got shut down, what.cd and waffles benefited hugely.

I don’t have any insight except I follow her on Twitter and a lot of names I recognise are saying very different things from you, like for example Larry Osterman. Maybe you know better.

> If you asked every developer on earth to implement FizzBuzz, how many actually different implementations would you get?

Thousands at least. Some of which would actually work.

It’s locked so you can’t edit it, but you can still upvote it if you want.

How can the first day of the week happen in the middle of the weekend!?!

Browser add-ons require permissions which you might not want to grant to arbitrary code. And anyway, it’s a truism that products can and will absorb add-ons into their code (cf ‘Sherlocked’)

cookies were once delicious delicacies - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=213186

Some browsers need a trailing dot - http://ai. - this site was on HN a week or so ago in an article and I guess when they saw the resulting traffic they changed it, used to be the Antilles domain registrar homepage.

Punk. 1000%.

Punk was very much not a sign of prosperity, more like stagnancy. Source: was there.

If meals cost 5$ all over the planet then there would be mass starvation

Still doesn’t stop the world burning, though

Some people (like me) are wide awake at 3AM and have work thoughts then. Others are asleep - we’re all different. I tend to use email drafts or email myself the text with a note to forward it.

All they did was ‘write a form in JS’???

> Our solution to that was to develop a high-level API around the machine translation engine, port it to WebAssembly, and optimize the operations for matrix multiplication to run efficiently on CPUs.

I like SourceTree’s ‘branch diff’ (and it’s the only thing I use it for).

I remember installing Firefox (I think v0.7) for my mother in law and giving it the IE icon.

OMG! Thank you so much for this.

According to this link [0] iTunes Match is an integral component of Apple Music. And I pay for both!

So I guess I'm cancelling iTunes Match..

Having said that, in the really early days it (or my phone, an iPhone 4 and later a 6S) was a terrible experience a lot of the time. Even with good Wi-Fi I’d wait for songs to play and then they would probably still stutter. It’s seamless now though, as long as I have a decent mobile signal.
