Same here. And jEdit is the only text editor I've ever seen with built in support for Factor syntax highlighting.

Then you're already doing something gravely wrong. The data stack should not be used like a data structure. That would be analagous to passing 200 arguments to a function.

You can find a lot of these old-style websites at https://neocities.org/browse?sort_by=last_updated

Many of them are created by teenagers and young adults which is nice to see. Web rings are making a comeback as an alternative to search.

This article has made me realize that perhaps trends in computing are not headed in any particular direction. Perhaps they are headed in every direction.

The author's description of his computing life couldn't sound more alien to me. I put thought into my file organization, and prefer files to "fragments." I don't have anything but a couple of my most oft-used shortcuts on my desktop. I only keep files in my downloads folder if I suspect I'll be needing archives or installers again. I don't use webapps. Any of them. I don't allow javascript to run in my browser unless a site I trust needs it for something that makes sense.

The desktop suits me just fine and the browser is becoming less and less relevant to me as it trends toward things I find uninteresting and not useful.
