This seems quite nice. Simple bit-shifting of the 16-bit ID gives both the index into the array of 16-bit words and the bit in the word and allows up to 65536 bitflags. This makes for a very efficient and easy to implement bitflag set/

90% of everything is crap. Perhaps AI will make that 99% in the future. OTOH, maybe AI will slowly convert that 90% into 70% crap & 20% okay. As long as more stuff that I find good gets created, regardless of the percentage of crap I ha

I think there's a profound difference in the aural vs. visual experience. For me, imaginging songs, "hearing" an earworm, even for songs in other languages, I think I'm using my inner monolouge system. Instead of thinkin

Strangely enough, at about the time this macOS update came out, the virtual USB hub in my Win7 VM (Fusion 11.5.7), which I run on a Catalina (10.15.7) Mac broke. This is after years of no issues. I didn't update anything except maybe C

Why doesn't anyone mention real estate agents/agencies when talking about housing prices? When I bought my first home in the early 90s it seemed like a confidence game back then and it's only gotten worse since. What I'm

I have the same issue, but I don't see the same thing. I have bookmarks set up with URLs like your first set: company1.sigin.aws.amazon.com ... But as soon as I click one, it gets redirected to: signin.aws.amazon.com/

You're right, I was skim-reading it as a few thousands (and jumping to conclusions). Not sure what's going on with that dip. Edit: It would be interesting to compare this to an up-to-date graph of US deaths (all kinds), if one exi

Thanks for posting this site. I was a bit confused by the recent dip in this chart: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/TOTLL2564 Until I realized it's likely due to COVID-19 deaths.

What a great title! Also, that Great Tit photo definitely reminds me of those old "Big Game Hunter" portraits.

Might want to ask current students about those classes first. My experience with community college math developmental classes was: "Go to this AV room, watch these videos, do these workbooks. If you have questions, I have office hours

I wasn't even thinking about local term vs. remote until you mentioned it, but you're right. I guess it's because I don't use a Mac very often and when I do I don't usually have a reason to use the local terminal. I

Pease test ZOC Terminal: https://www.emtec.com/zoc/ . I use it on Windows, like it very much, and don't notice any lag. I'm wondering how it compares to the rest of these on a Mac.

Also, "Starting Forth" by Leo Brodie is the earliest computer-related version of teaching with comics I can remember reading. It came out around 1981 and you can find an online version (including most of the original illustrations

Jeez, where's the tribute page/retro-computing documentary on this guy? I remember these pages fondly from a decade or more ago and I have looked for them from time to time in the past few years without luck. But I don't know

"Over the air updates" via wi-fi? For an oven... I'm feeling a little luddite-y.

Wow! I don't mean to be mean, but that's a terrible layout/unreadable mess of a webpage.
