Didn't Stack Overflow have a similar impact on Experts Exchange?

You think that's fun, rpitx will blow your mind: https://github.com/F5OEO/rpitx

Bill Atkinson unfortunately has been diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer. https://daringfireball.net/linked/2024/11/13/atkinson-prayer... I'm sure everyone wishes him well.

It could be misdirection. Maybe I'll wait for the fork Matt doesn't like.

Never forget what happened to Australian UniSuper when google accidentally deleted their account. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/article/2024/may/...

"More than half a million UniSuper fund members went a week with no access to their superannuation accounts after a “one-of-a-kind” Google Cloud “misconfiguration” led to the financial services provider’s private cloud account being deleted, Google and UniSuper have revealed."

The test is dominated by YouTube watching which presumably Google Chrome is particularly optimised for.

The codec2 project includes an HF OFDM that can be run from a command line. https://github.com/drowe67/codec2

Reminds me of Idris from Whitesmiths. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idris_(operating_system)

I remember having an O'Reilly book titled "The Whole Internet". Hilarious concept. Gopher was pretty cool at the time.

I went through pretty much the same dance yesterday trying to figure out the right way to choose a directory in my SwiftUI app. SwiftUI is a wonderful UI toolkit but it's far from complete. The documentation Apple is creating for it is wonderful, check out: https://developer.apple.com/tutorials/swiftui

Is "anyways" part of written English these days?

"If you’ve notices, all of that happened preety quickly." is an odd phrase.

I wonder how it compares with MicroPython?

I'd like to see a comparison with codec2 https://www.rowetel.com/wordpress/?page_id=452

YouTube ironically also listed a bunch of other videos about faked YouTube videos.

The issues listed are Finder issues. I haven't seen them. Finder is vulnerable to connected storage devices. I did have a dodgy USB drive connected to one machine and all sorts of weird things happened, such as beach balling, until I disconnected it.

Of course they are motivated to make it hard to claim expenses. This is genius.

One problem of having old WWDC content available is that it is confusing for a developer searching for how to do something to be shown deprecated approaches. It's hard enough finding the right way to do something in Swift with all the old versions of the language around.

Took me a bit of research to figure out that ULA is "Uncommitted Logic Array"

Interested to hear why you "don't want to deal with Apple any longer". What are the issues you faced?

But how is the curve of the lens controlled? Is it some sort of surface tension guided by the edge height of the enclosing ring?

Didn't age well. To their credit, they've left the story up.

Is it just me or does this site prevent the browser back button from working? I hate that!

Someone should do "Shirts of Karl Kruszelnicki" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Kruszelnicki he always wears amazing shirts which I believe are made by his wife.

Anyone know how to run this on Big Sur? I've built the project and it runs but there's no terminal window and the New menu item is dim. I looked at all the forks but most are very old. I guess I need a CP/M disk image?

I used to love Turbo C++ but the current versions are much too expensive to consider. "AU$1,819.40 – AU$5,918.00 Inc GST"

Exactly. If this theory was correct an MRI would knock people unconscious very quickly you'd think.

Thanks for that. I'm using Safari on macOS and got no images in the article - the ads work flawlessly though. Clicking on them works. I assumed the site had been Hackernews'd

I worry that they're doing too much. Surely shipping PineBook Pros in quantity should be the top priority.
