When we shifted houses and used a Japanese moving company, I was very surprised as movers removed their shoes every time they stepped into our places, both old and new. Oh, they also had gloves on when packing our plates and utensils!

I used to eat rabbit often until the 2000’s. Most butcher shops in France had rabbit, presented skinned, gutted and whole. Pretty good meat! A colleague was even including rabbit in the «poultry» category …

Computer to Minitel ttl yes. However the modem part was limited to those paltry figures. I still have mine in the basement. Maybe its capacitors are all busted…time to give it a spin !

When I stopped taking it, I went from 12 reps to 10, and slower recovery. My level at tennis dropped too, but bicycle endurance remained the same. I stopped because of high blood creatinine, and wanted to see what baseline was

Still using the AVP but not exclusively, about 3 hours a day, with a hardware Bluetooth keyboard. Mostly multiple safari windows opening on servers via webterm, cli and emacs. It’s especially great when traveling. Only problem, I cannot sha

I am spending about three hours a day using my AVP. Not getting headaches or anything like that. I don’t have a suitable MacBook or Mac mini so no virtual display. For development work, I use webterm (webified ghostty) via Safari to conne

I could hold the whole 6502 instruction set (and their cycles) in my mind while programming, it was that simple. I acquired a Z-80 softcard for my Apple ][ (for trying out CPM) and was flabbergasted by the expanded register set, the complex

In the 75 years of their existence it seems like they suck at expansion. They should take a page from Indonesia’s book for example. Or turkey.

Iga Swiatek (the tennis player) was denied entry in the player area for her own match. Situation was quickly resolved. I doubt VIPs go through the same entrance, lines and checks as regular folks. Yes that older dude should have been trea

My dad never learnt how to use our VCR. When VCRs went the way of the dodo, he felt vindicated. Same with the DVD player. Now, at 94, he’s on Netflix, no problem. He has a flip phone.

For example, multicore OCaml is not free of race conditions. The GC, while super efficient (pauses are in the milliseconds), is not suitable for hard realtime. Still, where absolute max performance or realtime are not required, I'd cho

I will give it a spin on my Apple Vision Pro. Have been trying ttyd, which could really be great as is it browser based and hence I can have as many windows as I want, but a safari bug on iOS/ipados/visionos is a showstopper: spe
