did you forget the "/s" or is it a serious question?

On Ponte dei Pugni (Bridge of Fists), which was the most famous venue for these spectacles, there are marble feet markings which were the starting positions for fighters.

To my ears, the sound is wrong. At least the Solari flip boards had a typical rustling sound, this is too much clicking.

SPI does not exist anymore, but there are other publishers still doing it, although the market is much smaller now. The biggest one is probably GMT games.

Interesting... However, ironically, EBGRIA is awful too, in its own way. The typography is rudimentary.

ISBN prefixes does not always indicate a country. They may be are indeed countries, but others are language areas (e.g. 0/1=English) or "regions" (groups of countries) or even other subjects.

High level programming languages were conceived by humans and for humans. Will AIs in future better use their own languages, or maybe even output machine language directly?

Unusable on iphone SE, the UI is cropped on the bottom and cannot be scrolled.

I was basically thinking about investing in the “S&P7”. No forecasting.

So a viable strategy would be to only buy the best 7 stocks? Like the Dogs of the Dow, but reversed? (The Gods of the Dow?)

The Elgato Stream Decks, although not keyboards proper, come very close

This project, which seems interesting, would greatly benefit from a better explanation of what it is, and some screenshots.

I see no mention in this thread of KiTTY <https://www.9bis.net/kitty/>, no one uses this instead of PuTTY?

I agree in general, but this project HAS releases; At least, it had until a certain date. So if you jump to the releases page, it gives the impression that the project is now dead. If they have abandoned that model, they should at least write it somewhere.

Latest release is from five years ago, unfortunately. The project seems mostly abandoned.

Correction: books.com became barnesandnobles.com, not Amazon. Amazon assimilated bookdepository.co.uk, but much later.

In the 90s, Book Stacks (books.com, eventually bought-and-destroyed by amazon), in addition (or before?) having a website, had a text-only online bookshop via telnet. I bought some titles that way. It was pretty cool!

I remember enjoying it a lot until the end, which I found stupid and contrived.

There's a whole book devoted to that, titled "10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1));:GOTO 10"

I don’t know in France, but at least in Italy companies are not a shield for penal responsibility; crimes are always committed by persons. If a company does something criminal, someone is responsible for that decision within the company, and that could be the CEO.

I don’t think that’a true. Too many years have passed so I cannot cite makes and models, but I worked in an IT magazine back then and there were mp3 players with a lot of buttons, not unlike those overcomplicated VHS recorders which sold on “features”.

Apple used to sell stuff that had “curated UIs”: few control, few functions, and excellent UX. I remember the cleanliness of the iPod vs the overfeatured and complicated competitors.

What matters to me are certain small differences in the UI.

I have been using Seamonkey since when it was called Netscape, but there are so many sites that do not work with it that I been forced to switch to Firefox. I still use Seamonkey for my mail though, I prefer it to Thunderbird.

Emacs runs in haiku OS. So most of my requirements are satisfied.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but IIRC AmigaOS is the whole operating system, while AmigaDOS is the part of that OS that handles disk I/O, plus the CLI, etc. Yeah, a naming mess.

Impact with a rogue planet?

Grey goo?

Trying to fix a rather large and mostly dysfunctional parliament, Italy recently tried the opposite solution: it slashed the number of representatives. It did not go well.

What's the situation wrt the install process? I remember having to use a non-official distribution of OpenBSD.
