I remember when 8-bit machines ruled the Earth, IOS was a Cisco thing, and e-mail bounced around via dial-up, back before the first AI winter.
I'm now enjoying the new AI spring and doing all sorts of fun stuff.

This is good news, since a few tooling improvements have made it back to the Erlang ecosystem in general (and to lfe.io in particular, which I prefer over Elixir).

I still have System 6.0.4 floppies :) Alas, I had to get rid of my SE/30, my Classic, and my LC II. And not having bought a IIfx still stings.

"Since the iPhone came out" means you climbed aboard at a much later era :)

I did. I want the mainstream stuff.

This is great. I can't wait for an ARM build, though.

It uses Electron as a shell, so "yes"

Actually, if you go to https://tryappservice.azure.com and create a temporary (free, login required, no registration, etc.) web app, you can edit it in real time with Monaco. You can do th…

I do customer-facing sessions too (focusing on Azure and OSS stacks) and quite enjoy the stunned silence when I pop open an SSH session and use it for a demo in their Linux distro of choice ;) Most pe…

This. We actually use non-Windows platforms, too. ;)

I actually think this is a valid point, even if somewhat colloquially expressed. I had a lot of trouble getting past that menu bar on Opera Mini and even on an iPad, it's entirely too much.
comment
Actually, I was thinking of CommonMark when I wrote that. The spec is still ambiguous, and a reference implementation is not a formal grammar...

I'm still using Textile. My blog engine ( https://github.com/rcarmo/sushy ) can cope with ReST, Markdown, Textile, raw HTML and iPython notebooks, and I still turn to Textile …

apt-get remove -y unity && apt-get install wmaker wmaker-data pcmanfm lxterminal Should take less than 10 minutes and be way faster to use :) (I actually use openbox and fbpanel, but WindowMak…

I moved most of my 2FA/TOTP stuff to 1Password. Works great on the Apple watch, and it's one less app (I tried Authy, but I have this thing against using too many apps)

Thanks!

Incidentally, the Raspberry Pi image was recently updated and has better multi-core support. Pretty nice for a near-instant boot terminal, although the non-UNIXness of it becomes a little bit grating …

I wonder if pHash wouldn't make this a lot more effective. Anyone tried building an ES-usable distance function for pHash?

I've been using a SonyEricsson MW600 Bluetooth adapter for my headphones for a couple of years - it pairs with up to three devices, the audio quality is pretty good (audiophile colleagues tried i…

Don't get me going on Python in the browser... :)

I liked tinkering with F# on VS Code with Ionide ( https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Ionide.I... ), but would love to hear from folk doing F#/OCaml as to their to…

Whenever a new version of jQuery (or Zepto) comes along, I wonder what would have happened if web development borrowed a page from other ecosystems and browser runtimes had subsumed the jQuery API, sh…

Erm. StackOverflow was built by folk who used C# heavily, and cargo-culting is amazingly prevalent on both the C# and Java "traditional IT" communities, so _of course_ StackOverflow is biase…

Actually, it was more like Prolog self-pollination with a dash of acid. ;) But seriously, the syntax is not that big a deal once you've understood it (and being permeable to the history behind it…

Doesn't the Clojure syntax higlighting work for you? I've been using it with a variety of LISPs for a while.
