I Fired Google 1 month ago

It blocked me, because I was running an ad-blocker. Then I got around the block. Safari’s Reader mode is often useful.

I remember walking the last couple miles of the Garden State Parkway a week or two before it opened. Could a youngster do such a thing today?

After checking the Wikipedia page, I realized that I was only 10 or 11 at the time. Somehow I remembered it as having been older – high school age.

Is there an open—source Swift IDE that can modify itself without restarting? (written in Swift) I loved Oberon µSystems Oberon/F aka Component Pascal for that capability.

Or am I going to have to vibe-code one.

Circular Buffer 6 months ago

Back in the early ‘70s, I worked at a computer network that had remote clients up and doen the Eastern seabboard, from Maine to D.C. They used a circular buffer for output from client submitted jobs. One day the buffer lapped itself. Panic ensued.

If you pay attention to the cursor, instead of aiming at the corner of the window, the UI gives you great feedback of where you should click: when the cursor changes to 2 arrowheads pointing diagonally or orthagonally to the window, resizing is available. Why aim for inside the window? I do think the expanded corner radius of Tahoe sucks badly.
