A fantastic collection and restoration effort. I highly encourage a visit. I was in Seattle last year and had recently joined and pinged about maybe getting a tour. It was right before a vintage computer festival and despite being busy gett

As others have pointed out, this is more about the age of existing buildings than the construction of the city, but it's pretty neat. About ten years ago when we were working on Mapbox GL, I did a mobile-native viz like this to show of

The best analogy I've seen for this is: maybe you'll make a robot do housework for you, but would you make a robot go to the gym for you?

Thanks. I want to restate: I respect the idea and the ambition. I'm reacting to this feeling I get when there is a lot of text and documentation (and often code) in a thing, stated in the particular style that Claude and other agents d

This looked great, I started reading things, and then I just kept reading and reading the voluminous description details, and it was an immediate indication to me that the whole thing was built up by Claude. Confirmed in the repo. I closed

I worked at a mall Radio Shack in ‘98-‘99. A Gateway store opened up at the other end of the mall. This being the times they were, Radio Shack had partnered with Compaq to sell P2 & (I think) P3 desktops, the beginning of its downfall o

Nice! This warms my heart — I used to make a Mac GUI app for SSH tunnel management back in the day. https://codesorcery.net/2009/12/04/meerkat-15-great-ssh-tunn...

I have one! It's fun for retro PCs that don't have speakers or a mic, as it provides everything you need right there without having to setup the Altec Lansings. Also LOL: > it has the advantage of packing the best sound system

Tried it today. Don't think it will have my comments, but I'd probably have to write a custom thing to fetch those anyway. I have about 6,000 photos on there so I'll see what happens.

I too learned about 9/11 on the radio. I was driving to work, had stopped to get breakfast, and when I got back in the car and started it up, my in-dash CD hadn’t re-started yet and NPR was tuned in and the news came on. Was most of th

I've been trying to learn Scheme lately by way of schemesh[1], which strikes me as a very clever integration of Scheme into a shell. My favorite parts are that you mix Scheme and shell using () or {} directly, as well as shebang right
