Apparently my fictional 8-bit subleq computer isn't so fictional anymore! github.com/urish/tt09-sic1

Microsoft must have been listening--the latest update did *not* re-add an Edge icon to my desktop (for once)!

Instead, they've pinned "Copilot" to the first position on my taskbar, completely breaking all my app-launching muscle memory🤦‍♂️

Copilot can be uninstalled easily, at least.

Can an AI PC tell me which model of Moen faucet I own and then order the correct replacement cartridge?

@retrobits Sorry for the blast from the past, but in Retrocomputing Roundtable no. 59 you mentioned publishing a PDF version of Scott Ballantyne's Blazin' Forth (C64) manual. Is that published somewhere on the web?

I've searched everywhere and haven't been able to find anything other than the (ironically named?) EZScript original and a PETSCII conversion.

Sorry again to bug you about something so old!

Apparently Lemon64.com and LemonAmiga.com are offline due to some sort of cyber attack. Who would do such a thing (besides bitter Atari users)?

Except for it defaulting to writing over df0… oops

amigaXfer is definitely the easiest way to load games onto floppies if you have (just) an Amiga 500

@ratfactor Looks amazing!

What's the record for most distinct programming languages used for Project Euler? I'm up to 50: github.com/jaredkrinke/100-lan

I'm surprised Nim isn't more popular. Maybe because no one cares about the size of executables anymore?

Does anyone have suggestions for interesting programming languages to try?

I set a goal to write code in 100 different programming languages (solving Project Euler problems). Right now, I'm up to 35 (mostly old/obscure).

Favorites so far: SectorLISP, Piet, BBC BASIC, Unison, PostScript, Factor, Rebol, Turbo Pascal, and... SIC-1 Assembly Language, of course!

StackOverflow (and related sites) can no longer be viewed in terminal mode browsers :(

The PostScript document format is actually a Turing-complete, procedural programming language!? What a country!

Finally found the setting in about:config. It's called "accessibility.typeaheadfind.manual" (which doesn't mention "quick find" and doesn't actually seem related to accessbilitiy to me). How did I find it? Had to track down the code change that resolved the bug I eventually found on this topic: hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central

2024-03-28

After 10 minutes of searching and toggling options, I still can't figure out how to disable "quickfind" (aka "highjacking the slash key") in Firefox. I really thought setting the "quickfind" option to false would do it, but apparently not :(

Wrote my first program using COBOL today. Not a fan.
