My Reddit newsfeed is currently just r/casio, so I've been looking at lots of watches.

Is there any online content today similar to these magazines?

In college the night before a big computer programming project was due, all of us students met in the computer lab and basically copied one student who had his working. The Professor obviously noticed and told us all to do it again.

Not notebooks but my Dad never let us kids use his guitars because they were too nice. So we never learned guitar. I picked it up later in life and now leave them out for my kids to mess with. Sure, they'll be out of tune and the pick will go missing, but I feel it's more important that they get used as much as possible for everyone. No point in leaving stuff stored away.

I love these old looking websites.

I agree. I wish school would have merged things like space and programming. I would have been really into it.

My team tried it out at the beginning of Covid. It performed really bad for me. I've heard it's better now, but that experience really turned me off to it.

I'm just glad to see there are so many fellow guitar players on HN.

In my experience, the business users that are supposed to use the “no code” platforms give up and it goes back to the IT department to use.

VSCode is 100% free. IntelliJ has a free and enterprise license. I could download the free one, but I feel like I'm missing out on features and would rather go with the option that has everything free. Then I don't have to worry about it. Even though it may not be as good.

My wife started selling stuff on Marketplace for fun and it's basically become a side business for her. It's crazy how successful it's become.

Sometimes I accidentally click the upvote button.

Jobs and Wozniak were both masters of their own domain.

My first laptop for college was a Toshiba Satellite. This would have been around 2006. It was a great machine at a reasonable price. Never had any issues with it until the battery died like 8 years later.

Wiby.org is my homepage. I occasionally click "surprise me..." to view 90s style websites. I find them more interesting than scrolling though modern stuff.

I will never understand why people think it's easier to use the same language across every domain.

Thanks for the story! Also, I wish 'webmaster' was still a title used in the industry.

Because of a growing family I bought a van recently. I thought I would hate it because of it's size but I actually love it. It's like driving a fortress around. Third row folds down so it's also like a cargo van. I don't think I could go back to a small sedan.

Maybe https://wiby.me/ ? I love surfing this on my free time.

Would Microsoft consider putting in the classic desktop in Windows 10 if enough people wanted it?

The LC-3 was part of my computer architecture course in my CS program over a decade ago. Glad to see it’s still being used.

GameWinners.com. Great source for video game cheats. But the best part for me was the chat room. I would say crazy things to people. Good times.

Also GeoCities. I wouldn't gone into web development without it.

Is ACM membership useful for just typical developers not in research or grad school?

This looks really neat. What homebrew computer kits do all of you recommend for someone that has never done this before? I would like to build a computer and program on it. I've done web dev only.

I feel the same way. It's probably because I'm 90s kid and nostalgia, but I wish web standards were taken seriously.
