Wow, that’s exactly my memory. As far as my family was concerned I was spending day and night in front of the “blue screen”. I got as far as programming a GUI by copying windows 95 pixel by pixel, text editor, fonts, cd player, minesweeper.

Well timed article for me. I'm looking to buy an external monitor to go along with my older (mid 2015) 15" MBP. I was searching hacker news and elsewhere for opinions last night. I got confused, frustrated and gave up. Today is no

Reading this article reminded me that I had signed up for Remember the Milk Service years ago to try to beat my procrastination habit. I signed in and found only ONE task (buy milk, due 01/05/07) I have yet to buy the milk...maybe

I don't think that's contradicting. Directly contradicting would be "Don't wear a mask if you are taking care of a person with COVID-19". What you described sounds more like extending the current WHO recommendations

I work on a virtual conference platform, we've had significant increase in interest in the last couple months... you might want to look into hosting a virtual conference to uphold your tradition and be responsible at the same time.

It was abstracted out, but I don't know if it qualified as a GUI. I had subroutines for creating the various components and placing them anywhere on the screen. I don't remember how I handled the events. One of my biggest regrets

One of my fondest memories in learning to program as a kid in the late 90s, was writing windows 98 UI clone in QBasic. I would screenshot the start menu, buttons, window borders, and various other UI components and try to recreate them in Q

CD-R: there's a word I hadn't heard for a long time. It's amazing how technology marches forward and you only notice it when you look back.

I visited Armenia back in 2007. We visited a very rural town deep inside the mountains with no other towns nearby. The night sky was unbelievable. With zero light pollution, the stars, planets and the galaxy were clearly visible. It was und

You can hike right up to / behind the sign if you want to go there. The hike itself is an experience. The tram will enable the tourists who don't want to hike. I do agree with your sentiment that it will take away some of the magi

I'm the first one to criticize apple, but in this case they were clearly privately working on the things he was bashing in public. The only apple product I own is a macbook pro, so not your typical apple fanboy.

Also don't forget his famous comments on no one will watch video on small screens and no need for big phones. I don't think any of his comments were lack of insight, rather it was him playing the market until he was ready.
