Perl's DateTime module was pretty solid, IIRC. One of the things I miss about using Perl.

This reminds me of Perl's ACME modules and I'm here for that.

I did something similar last year with a monitor without built-in KVM but with good DCC support (Ultrasharp U3417W) and Synergy [0]. I use Synergy as part of my desk setup already, but needed a way to view the UI of a normally headless mach

This [0] is pretty close. IBM made a version of the Model M with Trackpoint but those are rare. Lenovo also sells [1] a keyboard that's basically a Thinkpad keyboard with trackpoint in a separate chassis. [0] https://tex.com

The response rate is impressive! The "quality" of the responses not so much. Here's a transcript of my second test: Moshi: "Hi there, what's going on?" Me: "What year is it?" Moshi: "Oh, it'

100% agree, that screenshot is a _perfect_ example of why I don't use these tools.

SDET here, and no, I don't use these tools. Hammering out the actual test code is the easiest (and most fun!) part of the job for me, tools like this one actually make that experience painful and slower. :(

I like the idea, but the "see what people have added" button on the landing page links to the new-entry page instead of the explore page.

Nitpicks: * On Linux, clicking the main "Download / Linux AppImage" button results in Windows .exe download instead of an .appimage. Clicking on the down arrow and selecting Linux does work, however. * The opening sentence of

Debian installs perfectly on my Thinkpad x61, and works great out of the box. (x)Ubuntu's installer won't even boot on this hardware.

My parents bought a PS1 shortly after they were available. We very much enjoyed it, but I _distinctly_ remember each time my friend brought over his N64 and copy of Goldeneye. The PS1 may have been the superior console, but Goldeneye was th
