I would like to read the story of why the Windows 95 window title bar and buttons looks so much like the NeXT ones


Since Torvalds hated CVS and Subversion with a passion, "trunk" was out of the question I guess.


extreme terminology prejudice


I also remember playing it in the late 80s, in an amusement park in my home country of Sweden. Game was already quite old by then, but these things had a long life outside the US.

I specifically remember the gun and the gruesome way the shark dies.


The "C:/Users" folder on Windows used to be "C:/Documents and Settings"

I remember Bill Gates got that to be changed after an e-mail rant he wrote about how bad Windows had become. This was 2002 or so.

I use the Pages router. Doing it this way make sense to me in a way that SPAs never did.


The crazy thing is that the Pages router looked to me to essentially be a React flavored version of the venerable Perl HTML::Mason library.

It offered embedded code that is used to generate static HTML server side. It had application routing based on the file directory structure of the repository. It had automatic code wrappers distributed across the directory structure.

I used the heck out of HTML::Mason for years and it scaled ridiculously well to large apps.

Over time, HTML::Mason was supplanted by Mason, but I never used it due to not working in Perl anymore.

If you like the Pages router, it wouldn't hurt to dig through ancient scrolls of Mason users to look for techniques and lost knowledge.

Caveat: I haven't written or maintained any big apps in Next, but I've played with it a bit and have supported the SDKs I work on in Next apps.


Of course PowerPoint is the best input to LLMs. They will come to that eventually.


I'd actually prefer to communicate to ChatGPT via Microsoft Paint. Much more efficient than typing.


Leading scientists claim interpretative dance is the AI breakthrough the world has been waiting for!


In all seriousness, I found those sorting dance videos to be really educationally effective (when coupled with going over the pseudocode) - e.g. https://youtu.be/3San3uKKHgg?si=09EQYJNIkRqvQgWG


It's slides all the way down. Once models support this natively, it's a major threat to slides ai / gamma and the careers of product managers.


Yeah, I’ve seen great results with this approach.


Clippy knew this all along.


Stop using Postman and its ilk. Use .http files.


Looks like an Apple Store. Probably not a coincidence.


AI will increase the complexity even more
