   Writing longhand helps me blow off steam. I'll write long, scathing diatribes full of bad grammar, misspelled words, and rude doodles. Then when I'm feeling calmer, I'll drop them in the shred bin.

   Weirdest shipping experience I've had was a DHL package to a relative in Khabarovsk, Russia (far east Russia, north-west tip of China). Package was shipped USA to Germany to Moscow where it was turned around, shipped back to USA where

   I had an f-bomb in shipping source for over a year before I noticed it. (Was a chunk of code that had been object file only then we switch to shipping source.) Somehow it even got through the lawyers' Bad Words filter.

    Late 90's I did firmware for print servers. The echo server was pretty important to us for testing our hand-rolled TCP/IP stack. Print server management was done through a Telnet interface. We also supported LPD which was one of t

    I hear Disney's lawyers are going after the descendants of Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm because of the Grimm's use of Snow White and other Disney properties.

    The Tcl might be less of a learning curve for myself and new employees. Forth is quite different.

    Question for the Forth folks in this thread. Does Forth support loadable code modules? Here's the problem I'm trying to solve (still in the tinkering stage). I have an embedded processor with small on-board SRAM but huge external

    How about if someone yelled "Gun!" instead of fire? Guns might be a more modern version.

    I think the difficulty would be finding enough safe deposit boxes. If I had $100M (let me dream, will you!) where could I store that physically? That much cash takes up a lot of space. The Oatmeal had a post where he talked about how heavy

    Is Windows/Pi still an astonishing pain in the ass to talk to the local hardware? Linux (Unix) /dev is the best part. I don't have to search for obscure GUIDs to talk to a USB device.

    The year of the mixed desktop is upon us. Who can afford to use just one OS these days? I use OSX because it's a Unix that runs Photoshop and Python. I use Linux because the hardware is readily available through /dev and its USB s

    Memory leaks in Firefox/Chrome might belie that notion. I've had Python throw MemoryError at me while I was doing some video processing with NumPy. 8GB RAM, 64GB swap. I wasn't careful with my refs and I confused Python'
