walked into the living room this morning and saw this.

apparently my 13-year-old son somehow had gotten inspired to make a DVD bouncing program for his TI-84.

TIL of the bad.horse traceroute

taking a brief moment to crush on Susan Kare.

as NeXT employee #10, she invented many GUI elements and iconographies that we take for granted today.

and she invented Monaco, one of my favorite fonts, alongside Chicago, San Francisco, and Geneva.

Pro tip:

You can create a custom search query in your browser that looks like this:

https://gist.github.com/april/39a832da337e8e798fcd1c61a70289f8

And that will limit your search results to only pages crawled before 2023. Really helps cut down on the amount of slop you stumble across. Feel free to tweak date ranges to your edification.

@calcifer@hackers.town @PinoBatch@peoplemaking.games @technicat@universeodon.com “coding under fire” incidents are still usually done in your usual development environment and typically involve code you’re familiar with, with a suite of debugging tools. and not some weird puzzle that was dropped in front of your face minutes ago where you’re forced to work in the worst development environment ever.

@jstatepost@mstdn.social there’s a really good for macos called SoundSource that does that.
