There is already a tool automation language called Skill. It is used in Cadence Virtuoso (EDA tool). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadence_SKILL I thought I see Cadence Skill here on HN.

The word kalsarikännit told me how compact the Finnish language can be. They even have a word for this! :-)

Many years ago I has some pretty good experience with a FrogPad. See http://www.frogpad.com/ Maybe it is possible to find one sold used. I think they are not available new anymore. There different versions for left and righ

The article suggests that Gnu Awk might soon improve its understanding of JSON. Can somebody please shed some light at this? Will gawk get JSON support. Or is is already there and I just need to get a recent version?

I never understood why Ritter Sport has a feature to close so that some can be saved later.

Reminds me of the old days. When X11 was not correctly secured, i.e., most of the time, it was possible to remotely login to someone‘s system, take a screenshot of :0 and display it on :0. :0 is the local display, so the computer seemed to

I do not think I can agree to hate something, in particular in larger groups.

Given that Canada is in America one would assume they consume much American news.

Ah, the memories. First DKB Trace, then the newly renamed POV-Ray. Left the computer on for hours to get tiny pictures. Adding a 387 was a huge step forward; IIRC approximately a 10x speedup.

This reminds me if scenes from the movie Idiocracy. They were mostly right about our future society (the movie is from 2005). One thing they got wrong though. It did not take humanity 500 years to reach this depicted state.

Thanks for the memories. These were the cool tools in the nineties. Not a very practical UI, but good looking. :-)

Yes, I was using the term thin client as they did in the article. DeX actually tries to make the phone the only computer one needs. Just connect a screen and either use the phone as keyboard/mouse or connect a physical device. This mig

Network operators could offer cheap data plans without allowing voice over them. Works for the Samsung S-Series tablets. Data is cheap, phone calls are disabled or charged separately. For some users (e.g. elderly) an iPad with its large scr

Apple would cannibalize their computer and iPad sales if they were supporting the thin client model like Samsung DeX. See how they already avoid cannibalization of the iPhone business by preventing the iPad to make phone calls. They protect

For me that would be the early first person games, in particular Ultima Underworld and Wolfenstein 3D. Also the Settlers and Command and Conquer were quite important. And not forget the time spent looking for gasoline for the chainsaw.

Good point. I meant to say that this regards only the three years mentioned. Then 2022 is above average. While un my opinion there is a downwards trend since a few years, I would agree that there were quite a few years better than 2022 if t

2023 will be an average year. It will not be as good as 2022 but will be better than 2024.

“Speak last.” Meaning listening to others more often than telling. In particular when you lead people. Not holding back my opinion but let the others contribute. I particularly like the short, simple, concise statement saying everything.
