hp's #retrocomputing prank for today: an offer for the programmable desktop from 1968, the HP 9100A/B. Only $4900. (Not actually for sale)
Now that I have this Ryzen Thinkpad set up, between WSL and VcXsrv/XLaunch, I’ve pretty much totally recreated all the stuff I was keeping around a Linux laptop for.
For people who still need Windows around for various stuff, there’s not really any point in having a separate computer or partition just to run Linux/POSIX stuff you like anymore.
hypothetical new Org-inspired outliner
Next actions:
* become a less horrible programmer
* read even one piece of SDL documentation
* actually attempt to learn enough to do something with this idea besides writing about it
hypothetical new Org-inspired outliner
Thinking out loud: What if this new outliner uses SDL in the same way that Lagrange does, as a cross platform UI layer, with a really simple/stark UI? And then has Lua or Tcl or some other small language baked in for implementing the outlining features, so that it’s easy to extend? And steals the “Leap key” idea from the Canon Cat?
“Cross-platform editor built in an interpreter that you can use to extend the tool however you want” sounds awfully familiar 🤔
Latitude 5290 2-in-1, for the curious. Unsurprisingly, the touchscreen doesn’t work. And it seems to randomly choose a display brightness level at boot. Other than that, it seems pretty solid.
