Who's resisting?
cachvico··on Thousands of Mazdas in the Seattle area are stuck on a single FM radio station
When you got to a new town, I seem to recall pulling a booklet out of the glove compartment, finding the right page, finding the right frequency for the station you're after, and tuning manually to that frequency.

"Punch a button" was only an option once you'd already saved that preset - no difference to the later digital version.

Goodbye, evening.
cachvico··on Apple execs: Let's take a 30% cut of Uber and Lyft's membership programs (2018)

Rusty McSaltmeister
cachvico··on Show HN: Keyboard Drill – Minimalist Typing Drill to fix common mistakes

cachvico··on Tell HN: Full macOS reinstall because Apple ID
I think the implication is that it's Ok to sign in to iCloud after the installation (and enable all the iCloud sync services). But the login account should be local only.
cachvico··on Bashforth: A Forth interpreter, written as bash script
"Bash and forth" would be a good name

Edit: I'll get me coat

cachvico··on Ask HN: Have you been in a team that did “daily standups” asynchronously?
In the age of the lockdown, I actually think it's beneficial to drag people's faces into a zoom meeting for 20-40 minutes (sometimes we get into debating stuff, hopefully not too much) - just so we have some human contact.

The rest of the day might be spent in solitude. If we're not in an office, let's at least leverage the scrums for some coffee talk.

cachvico··on Exiled from the Metaverse before it even started: Facebook bans are for life
That's Link (Rift apps running on your PC, displaying on your Quest), not Quest apps.

cachvico··on “DevOps”: a decade of confusion and frustration
For me dev-ops is exemplified by:

1. Everything being scripted, reviewed and in the repo (no ad-hoc actions on prod)

2. Processes are ephemeral (containers)

Everything before that (VMs..) is in the age of the sys-admin.
