Glad to see the special mention of the Mat Su Valley in Alaska. Lived there for 10 years, originally from Wisconsin. And yes, the two are VERY similar. Not the exactly the same, I did notice a difference when I moved back to WI, more nasal. But the Mat Su Valley was populated by Midwestern farmers during the Depression, so it makes sense.
Glad for the Disney reference. Before it became a marketing arm for Pixar movies it was an awesome venue for an optimistic future in Tomorrowland and then Epcot. It's a shadow of that former glory unfortunately.
Depends on the project. For web based functionality it seems great, because of all the prior work that is out there. For more obscure things like Obsidian Note extentions or Home Assistant help it's more hit and miss
I'm always suspicious of articles like this. Having been part of a company that was the target of a few NYT articles, there is always more to the story. And parts that are just flat out wrong, but not being an expert or in the industry you just need to take their word for it and believe their anecdata.
Thanks for this. Brings back so many memories of the long hours spent in computer rooms with HP 9000s and RS/6000s back in the 90s. Seeing that SAM interface made me shiver :)
It's great that there are folks like you preserving this history
So cool that the are people attempting to preserve this amazing, sometimes lost, history. I hope they are considering how to preserve their own work as they do this.
The article mentions alcohol consumption by kids, but I think it doesn't emphasize enough the effect of efforts like Mothers Against Drunk Driving and strict DUI laws. Back in the 70s and 80s having a few drinks at a party, bar or friend's house was normal and part of the social lubrication. Even drinks during lunch was common where I worked. No more. You either need to have a designated driver, find a taxi (which doesn't exist in most rural areas), or just not drink. The first two are a pain, so people opt for the latter and that social inhibition hangs around, and folks go home early. Have to get up for work in the morning, you know.
Some legislators probably have constituents that just won't shut up about it, so they figure let's pass this since it doesn't actually ban anything that actually exists and get these crazies off my back.
I'm thinking "effectuate" could be interpreted as requiring force if necessary. Since this is another country, that would be outside the purview of a court to mandate a military action. They can require that the govt "facilitate" El Salvador's action to return him.
