If you have the butterfly keyboard MBP, complain about the keyboard being broken, and you may well get it replaced under the "extended repair programme" - since the battery is glued to the topcase you also get a new battery.

I remember playing this on my Gravis Ultrasound and trying to convince my friends it sounded better. (https://youtu.be/Q3rb5Yi0BBI)

First job out of uni I worked for a company who had software that output pure HP PCL5, and yeah, you just netcat it directly to the printer IP (or configure an LP queue with no filtering to do it for you). Fun days.

In France it's integrated to the point where the TGV has AF Code shares, and you earn airmiles on the train: https://www.airfrance.fr/FR/en/common/resainfovol/avion_trai...

I've used artoo.js (https://github.com/medialab/artoo) for my in browser one off web scrapes for a while and find it pretty useful. Ripping tables -> csv is pretty straightforward and it handles pagination pretty well too.

IMO they should handle secondary emails differently to primary emails. Some sort of in your face warming when you login to trello before the migration may be appropriate.

I had a G450 hooked up to my big old CRT using mplayer to watch my terrible anime shows. Nothing could touch the quality of Matrox on a CRT.

I bought a physical copy of this (still have it around somewhere) after reading many of the koans from /usr/bin/fortune

After Blue Streak was cancelled the UK joined up with other European countries to form ELDO, which was in some ways the precursor to ESA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Launcher_Development_...

I got the 13" without the touch-bar and I love it. Note for this blogger: you don't have to hit the keys hard.

It's a beautiful trope that immediately ties you to the location. The shots of trains passing is another - you can tell the train type and company being detected often with a scary level of accuracy. (fd - haven't lived in Japan since 2008)

I ran 2:250/165 back in the day. RemoteAccess 2 and FrontDoor NC. And running Desqview so I could have the BBS running as well as mess with my pc ;)

My dad was a telephone engineer in the 80s and 90s in the UK. He took me to the exchange a few times and I can still recall the impressive noise of the Strowger (or maybe they were Director) units.

Here in Hong Kong we can make direct account transfers at the ATM, though you still need to know the recipient account number, after you enter the number it will show the recipient account name (with some chars masked) which is always a nice confirmation that you've entered the right digits.

Went back to the UK over the holidays - perhaps drank a little bit too much - my fitbit tracked my resting heart rate over the trip. It drops 10 bpm after I came back to HK. https://twitter.com/jamiewildehk/status/689726514959495169

I'm also working mostly in Java recently, and our project has a small amount of Scala (left over form and engineer long since gone). I am finding it really hard, on the rare occasions when I need to work on the Scala part, to get my head around it. I know I need a week or two to "get" Scala - but I just can't justify the time.

For our internal projects here we do - it saves is hassle of someone accidentally committing /node_modules or the like into the repo and someone (me) having to sort it out.

Ahh, but do you then commit your .gitignore file
