They even had the "WebFORCE" branding with the "to author and serve" tagline! I also did a lot of early web work on an Indy, and we hosted on a Challenge! I have a Challenge S right now, and when I got it the drive had w

I believe from Apple officially it would be the dual 1.25ghz MDD G4. I had one new, and still have it running today!

I have a small scope down there, and it's great! I get a lot more use out of it being permanently setup in a dark sky site, rather than use it at my suburban house. I'm currently doing observations of variable stars just for fun.

I know I just made it up! I have an 11/23+ and I'm guessing I was thinking of that 3!

I had access to a VMS system in my BBS days, and I had no idea it wasn't just some hard to use BBS software. When it clicked that it was a real operating system on a giant machine (I believe 11/380) it changed everything for me!

Why does it need to talk to facebook.com, ntp.org, aws.com, cloudflare.com, google.com, and windows.com?

Thanks, that looks promising!

I wish it was still supported, but I'm sure I was one of very few that was actually using it! Even then it was just for fun.

That looks great even now! Do you still have your dotfiles somewhere?

One easy thing I've been doing for years is just dropping the Applications directory onto my dock. Instant launcher. Otherwise I just use spotlight if I want to launch by typing.

I usually get stuck about halfway through and give up. Doing it in a Lisp I’ve been writing in Ruby will have me giving up even sooner, but it will be fun!

I spent so much time updating IRIX and Ultrix systems for Y2K... And it was not fun, but now I play with those systems for fun. So I guess I'm weird!

I've found it to be very good and accurate at these sort of tasks. I use it all the time to turn some weirdly formatted data into CSV or something else with structure.

This! I've probably said it here before, but Apple won the Unix workstation wars in the most awesome way possible. You can now buy an insanely powerful RISC Unix workstation at the mall! How awesome is that?

I recently slimmed down Windows 3.0 to run it from a 1MB SRAM card on a MS-DOS 5.0 palmtop. I just did it by trial and error, and I think I can slim it down further from this guide, though they're using Double Space, which I won't

I had one of their electronics books too, and it was great! That book got me going on a lot of what I still work on today!

I just did a long mile road trip in my 2023 Model Y LR, and it wasn't a lot of fun. Even in the 30Fs I would get around 200 miles of range. I tried to get to the next charger with at least 15-20% just in case. One example leg was 156mi

Lego has got to be the lowest on the list for me as far as concern about plastic use. Who throws away Lego? Post a couple pounds of Lego on FB marketplace and see how fast it sells. Some of our Lego is from the 1950s, and my daughter is the

I have like messing with server-side Swift, and I asked it at the WWDC Swift table. I was pretty much met with blank stares. Either they just have no interest in it, or I ran into the wrong engineers.

Windows CE in the late-palmtop days was pretty neat. I did a lot with my HP Joranda!

Nova is worth a try if you're a Mac user! On Sublime, it's a great editor, and being cross platform is really nice. They really do need to update the web site to reflect that it's not dead. The "see what's new"

Is there anything else new or interesting going on in the Moo/Mu* space right now? A while back I wrote a MU*-style system in Ruby, using js as the scripting language. It has a web based tool that gives object owners a URL for each obj

I've also paid for Sublime, TextMate, and now, Nova! Nova is wonderful.

If it's really compatible with 2600 carts, SD card carts already exist and work great! Personally I've found 2600 carts to be pretty durable. Almost all of the carts I bought new still work, and I still use them frequently!

I wonder if that "10 in 1" cart will run on a real 2600?

This reminds me to get back to a project... I've been trying to train models to tell what decade a photograph was taken, but haven't had much luck. Maybe someone else has tried that too!

Those are good examples. I'm constantly doing weird one-off things in Ruby or Bash, and maybe I'll ask ChatGPT about more of them. I really wanted to know what vague things OP's humans were doing, but they haven't respon

Can you elaborate on how you're actually using ChatGPT? I'm a developer and I haven't felt any need to use ChatGPT constantly. What tasks are you delegating to ChatGPT that were previously done by humans? Most of my input fro
