I've been thinking about running a "mystery retro LAN party". Dig into a big cardboard box and pull out an old gaming laptop. You get what you get. Then go try to get top frag!

The first computer I bought with my own money was an Athlon XP. Probably got the motherboard and CPU from Comp USA or Office Max or something. I bought it specifically to play The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind! It felt like it was obsolete in a

Okay I'll add mine too. I recently vibe-coded a Ruby interpreter, as a single-header C file, meant to be embedded (like Lua or mruby). I call it Luby: https://halferty.dev/index.php/luby-single-header-embeddable...

1. Build a house for each homeless person 2. Remove them from the homeless count, because they now have a house. 3. Reach zero homelessness! 4. There are still people living on the streets... But we don't call them homeless!

Wow! It really works. The missing bean "pops" out at you. The hardest part is getting your brain to focus on the cross-eyed virtual center image.

My introduction to Pascal and Assembly Language were after finding one of those huge paperbacks on the shelves of a Salvation Army in North Huntington, Pennsylvania. This was long after the book had lost all relevance. But before that I was

Laravel is never going to be competitive with Django/Rails simply because PHP as a language is just not as easy to master as Python/Ruby. There, I said it. Lots of PHP fans write these articles about how PHP is catching up in term

Nope, it's different this time. 1. My entire network is struggling, even the ones who have jobs are worried. Despite being universally acclaimed and vouched for by my past coworkers, it seems to have no impact. Companies don't tru

Libraries and publishers have always had a love/hate relationship. I'm sure book publishers are no happier that their products are being loaned out for free than the MPAA is that movies are being loaned out for free, or the RIAA i

This is awesome. How did you find a list of forums to search?

by emh68 4y ago
I think that's very true. However many forums die due to the owner not being able to pay the bills or stop spam. Xenforo + anti-spam addons ain't cheap, google ads won't take just anyone and the payout is very low. Or they ju

The consolidation is an illusion caused by not seeking out and/or encountering new competitors. Once there was Adobe plus some small-time company you were fond of. Then Adobe bought that small company. So now you think that only Adobe

Yeah, I opened a feature request to add a "save as..." option to the file menu, only to have it merged into a much older duplicate request. The feature still hasn't been implemented, 7ish years later. That, plus some feature
