Perhaps this is why BASIC originally used LET in the form LET X = X + 1, to imply a calculation rather than equality.

There was a time when I had to goto the bank in person during business hours and interact with a teller. There was zero chance of getting hacked, the tellers knew me, and I had to live a more intentional life. Perhaps business hours for a website means real people are there actively monitoring its security and activity.

The 360 played a pivotal role in the Apollo program.

Wrote floating point routines in assembler back in college. When you get it, it's one of those aha moments.

Accessibility wise, for those people with impaired vision, a larger mouse cursor obscures the tool tip text making it unreadable.

> try to go back 30 seconds with it, it's nearly impossible.

Tip: press the mike button and say "go back 30 seconds" ... or "open netflix" etc.

Try searching for “apple 2e“ on either Duckduckgo or Google.

Have an original IBM PC sitting here. It has a 5 pin DIN plug on the back to connect a casette tape drive. I also recall BASICA.COM on diskette leveraged the BASIC routines in the original ROM, so it was about 1/3 the size of GWBASIC.EXE.

The CEO and company management should eat their own dogfood. Their personal data should be stored in the same insecure systems as their victims.

If it keeps my device free of malware, that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

I'd recommend adding fuses. One between the panel and charge controller, and one on V+ to the battery.

Yes, you can still access newsgroups through Google, just search for your favorite group, e.g. comp.lang.lisp.

I recall using some open source Delphi software that allowed auto reload of an ISAPI.DLL just by replacing the DLL in the folder. That saved an iisreset. Never got a chance to thank the technical wizard that created that.

Canadian here, please use USPS when sending us stuff because they don't charge a $40 made up customs handling fee at the door like Fedex and UPS do.

With a little luck, maybe Microsoft is already working on React Native support for Window's phone.

Cities and communities can also contract the RCMP instead of managing their own police forces.
