Me too, and some days I do miss Dad.

I'll bet they just slipstream them in. There was a huge backlog of the 8GB, that now looks pretty much cleared out. So it could be awhile before the D0 show up.

I think this is very cool. I ran an intern program at a mutual fund for a few years, and at a major bank for a few more years. We had lots of successes (and some things that never worked out).

One year we had an idea for a system. I brought Anderson Consulting in, explained what I wanted, sent them off with a quote. There were two interns in the meeting and they said they wanted a chance. 3 weeks later Anderson came in to pitch what they wanted to do. They did their side show to build a prototype ($175K) and then the system, another $650K. Elapsed time about 7 months.

Interns said they wanted to demo what they had come up with after talking to the business people. So they did the demo, Anderson people were going awesome, we will take these active wireframes and build the prototype and come back in 2 months. Interns said, no, this is a full working system, pulled up the code that was behind it, interfaces to the primary DB, etc. Another hour of stuff.

So it turns out the interns had built in 3 weeks what Anderson wanted $825K and 3/4 of a year to build. I was (and am) so proud of them. Love interns that you can just unleash. They spent the rest of their internship doing the docs, putting it into production. At the end, my boss, the CIO gave each of them a $100K "scholarship" and job offers to come back when they graduated.

> We have a hybrid wordpress symfony site

I was trying to get it set up so I could use twig templates inside pages. I couldn't get it to work since both frameworks ( Wordpress & Symfony) want to be in charge. Any secrets you can impart?

Piling on the "Do the Physical Therapy" train, I had this done 2 years ago, did the PT work and now back 100%. It's a pain (literally and figuratively) but future you will be super happy current you did the work. Look into chair yoga, it will help you keep all of the other bits stretched out. Good luck!

Well since microflash has jumped ahead, let me also jump in.

https://fx.hot.page/ has some of the web components on it. While the slinky one is silly fun, the gallery one is very cool. Looks like it's light weight and easy to use. I was impressed by the annotated source code page where you explain in detail what is going on. While jumping, swirling, multicolored text is your mission, your forte is the documentation you've written. Nice job.

Wow, it's been a minute since I used HoTMeTal, I loved that editor. I cranked out a lot of HTML with it, once you got the hang of what it wanted you to do, it would be your best friend. We switched to Dreamweaver, of course that lasted until Adobe bought it. But thanks for the memory, this thread has been the Saturday treat.

Thanks so much or the early Saturday morning flashback to my Geocities page. Can you add a spinning “under construction” sign, those were my favorites.

Happy to see that none of my Vanguard funds are listed.

> Residents will need to pay an application fee of £108 and if their application is successful, they will pay a further £1,251 for construction costs and a licence for the first year. That works out significantly cheaper for the average electric car user compared to the cost of using 3rd-party chargers.

License for the first year, which means license for the future. An awesome money grab by local governments.

Nice, I'm always a fan of a well planned grift.

I got dark on more dark. Hope this was awesome, but I can't read it.

Chrome.

I love this book: https://www.amazon.com/Be-More-Sausage-Lifelong-lessons/dp/0... it's a great description of how sausage dogs can teach us life lessons. Highly recommended if you know a dachshund.

I loved Coherent, and I still have the “shell” book. It was one of the best things about using those tiny machines.

I see how to include pages using the [[PAGEADD]] but didn’t see a way to create links to other pages inside a page.

I would be very happy to pay for news. IF YOU THEN DIDN'T TRACK THE FUCK OUT OF ME.

I don't want to start looking at "Democrat" adds when I click on a Biden Article. I don't want to see adds for the "Republicans" when I click on a Trump Article. Lather, rinse, repeat for Olympics, local news, world news, cricket, etc.

So to stop targeting, I don't log in. Figure out how to take donations, I'll send you money. I got my local PBS station into this.

In Part 95, Section D, encryption is not mentioned.

But the Emission Types are limited, digital emissions are not allowed. (AM and SSB) are specified.)

In theory, you could have a transmission header / trailer in Esperanto that would route the message, and then the message traffic. But that sounds like a hill that wouldn't be worth the climb.

> In fact I even have an amazing vim plugin just for them

So this is gold. Editing xSV files has been an ongoing pain, and this plugin is just amazingly awesome. Thanks for the link to it.

Wordpress gives a few good options to use slugs or names in a hierarchy.

Article is from 2017. Seven years ago. I'm pretty sure that things didn't work out like he said. It would be interesting to hear how the 150M fund worked out for the flyover people.

Good question. Nextdoor is full of people that I would not let on my physical front porch.

They had the entire suite of Watcomm products: APL, Basic, Cobol, Fortran, Pascal. The Watcomm tools were great, there was some magical linker that let you connect Cobol and Fortran tools together.

Burroughs was always big on being able to network computers together. Their B20 line was awesome on the amount of sharing you could do between systems. Lots of sites had one or two machines with disks on them, the rest would use the network to get to the data. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burroughs_B20

Oh yea, 42nd Street Photo held 2nd and 3rd mortgages on my house for years.

For what it's worth, there are two other chapters up. One is about round the world sailing. It is also worth a read.

I've not been able to get into the third chapter, but it looks equally interesting.

Where do these end up? I'm sure there are some places that would be thrilled to get this. Or is the tech so old that it's not viable for research?

Good thing that there is nothing like that in other hobbies like Woodworking, Ham Radio, etc.

It would be nice if it sorted events by time. Then I could enter

12PM Lunch 8AM Dr Astro 3PM Nap and see them as

8AM Dr Astro 12PM Lunch 3PM Nap

> All in it is usually under $1k to get one installed.

Where I'm at (outside of Philly) $1K is the bottom end. Depending on the distance from the panel, access to the garage and the house service it can be lots more. I had mine done (panel on the other end of the house) and it was $2200

How do I look at entire day or even a week? Once there is three things to do in a day I need to get to a tiny scroll bar.

Assembler was possible in both ESPOL and NEWP, there was a way to load the initial stack at boot time to get things in place. But it was only a few instructions worth. There was actually a patch to the Algol compiler from UC Davis that let you put any instruction in place. I used that to create named pipes for applications to use.

There was interesting procedure names in the Master Control Program (yes, Tron fans, the real MCP) JEDGARHOOVER was central to system level security. I taught the customer facing MCP class for a few years.

In the early days they gave you the source code and it wasn't uncommon for people to make patches and share them around. Everyone sent patches into the plant and in a release or two you would see them come back as official code.

Huge fan of the Burroughs Large Systems Stack Machines.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burroughs_Large_Systems

They had an attached scientific processor to do vector and array computations.
