I much prefer Chuck Peddle's telling of the story of surrounding MOS's acquisition by Commodore and the history of the 6502 at VCF East: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBnmJhEOdC8
The Daily Show, during all those classic Jon Stewart years.
And sure enough, it's gone.
My first try, the classic interview between Jon and Joe Biden in 2015, where Biden admits he unwittingly politically used a story about a family coal miner that didn't exist. Interviews with Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleezza Rice. Their 2000 and 2004 coverage of the RNC and DNC conventions, all gone.
I recently started using a Mac at work and Gnome aping MacOS is the only thing that makes sense.
The applications selector, the settings drop-downs... spatial Nautilus... it didn't just start with Gnome 3. These are all poorly-implemented, half-baked versions of MacOS features. It has been going on for years.
I mean, the thin scroll bars for $deity's sake! On MacOS this makes sense because the trackpad and trackpad/mouse work, and work very well. On Gnome, it makes no sense at all since you can't hit them with the mouse pointer.
I'm constantly ill at-ease with how LLMs have been trained on, well, just about everyone's data, and spit out really creative responses that were wholly inspired by someone else's most likely copyrighted works. With no attribution.
This response in particular.
I immediately thought of this project (that hit the front page of HN):
It's client-side, and works very well for email. It used to be that email notifications through Thunderbird waited until your next email refresh interval, but I noticed they are coming in at the same rate as the Outlook clients after the last update to Owl.
Calendaring through Lightning is incomplete and experimental.
In the "spaces" vertical toolbar on the left, Owl has added a Teams button recently, as well. It opens the Teams O365 app in a tab in Thunderbird, which I really like. I haven't had a chance to check if any meeting or audio features work there.
I agree with this, but I like the Albini version. My first listen to this track (in a long time since hearing the other version) the vocal is centered with good imaging, and is much less boomy than the original CD version.
Very much like it's a person in a room, instead of processed.
It is far less "in your face", and arguably, teenagers then might not have thought it cool. Like a band from the 70's or 80's.
Will have to listen through good headphones tomorrow. My initial impression is also that I like Albini's version more, but I understand why the song became famous from the final mix.
Albini's does lack that separation that differentiated the remixed songs from contemporary and then recent punk and "always-on" grudge imho.
I listened to Smells Like Teen Spirit at a listening station at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 20 years ago and the in-your-faceness blew me away. It was like hearing it for the first time again. I get why that record changed the game.
Credit card tokenization is a thing, and commonly used in retail. It leaves the last four digits of the number intact to allow searching for transactions from the POS; but other numbers are scrambled. Credit card data is otherwise stored in the POS systems tokenized. It takes all teeth out of credit card data for PCI requirements.
In this case, the tokenization is the measure itself.
Saying that modern monitors are more color accurate that CRTs really undersells the difference. Having been a professional photographer before a button presser, I feel I have a need to step in here. This narrative is so, so horribly wrong.
Nearly any given color CRT (in the 90's era) has a far flatter visual spectral response than modern ubiquitous displays. Each color has meaningful contrast; whereas the typical blue-LED is heavily weighted towards blue.
Even if a new display measures better, your brain interprets color from a tube better.
The only established displays today that approach that flatness (exceed them) are genuine three-color OLED displays, which are prohibitively expensive as packaged as a computer monitor.
I have some mild hope for new display technologies that I'm hearing about. I'm betting we are five years, at a minimum, before displays with that color quality are common.
