Today in 1976, K&E produced its last slide rule.

A common method of performing mathematical calculations for many years, the slide rule became obsolete with the invention of the computer and its smaller, hand-held sibling, the calculator.

Sometimes I switch macOS to dark mode to test something and every time I wonder:

How can you people live like this?

Colossus: The Forbin Project (1970)
This underrated sci-fi thriller didn’t just imagine AI taking over, it shows exactly how humanity loses control…and never gets it back. Still terrifying on every rewatch. Directed by Joseph Sargent (The Taking of Pelham One Two Three).

This is bloody brilliant. Motorcycle chariot racing - which gained popularity back in the 1920s and 1930s.

Nothing ignites a Linux tech debate faster than the Editor War.

Forget systemd vs. runit. This is the original divide.

The choice between Vim and Emacs isn't just about keybindings. It defines how you view your environment.

vi is POSIX. It is literally written into the standards of Unix-like systems. It's on your rescue disk. It's on that server you SSH'd into 5 minutes ago

Emacs is a Lisp interpreter that happens to have text editing buffers. It’s an ecosystem. It's an email client. It's a window manager.

Do you want a programmable environment that you can mold into your own personal operating system? Or just an editor?

I absolutely don't expect this will start any opinionated or heated arguments. 👇

Blazing Saddles (1974) is still outrageous in the best way. Studio execs begged Mel Brooks to cut jokes; he ignored them, it opened huge, and became one of the biggest comedies ever.

just read this in an investor update

"older engineers who graduated from college pre-GPT are actually the best-suited for our purposes. They have fundamental programming ability that's lost amongst most of the current-gen."

the AI-induced thinking/skills decay has begun
