Ethernet works fine for me at home, only use WiFi when travelling.

Reminds me of the original Smalltalk font.

Cream is a very distinctive font. It’s perfect for Smalltalk. In the 1980s I remade it for the Apple II to be used in a game. Obviously very little text would fit on the screen it was used for.

What matters is how easy it is to create an out-of-order implementation of an ISA, there isn't a 680x0 equivalent of the Pentium Pro.

ColdFire was/is literally that is my understanding. But there was really no market for it. They produced variants up to 300mhz if I recall but then relegated it mostly just to microcontroller market and then stopped developing it.

It was too late, and just oh-so-slightly incompatible with 680x0. But I suspect if the ISA used in ColdFire v4 had existed in 1994, 1995 that perhaps Apple's honestly disastrous foray through PowerPC could have been avoided.


Well, there's the 68080 - the modern FPGA-based 68k chip designed as an upgrade for Amigas - but that did arrive quite a bit too late.

I could see a market for hybrid supercars if cities go further on being clean air zones, enough of a battery to let the owner drive slowly around Knightsbridge.

I drive a bit more than you at 4000 miles a year but most of that is outside the UK so would like to see more details on the recent proposals to tax electric cars on annual mileage.

Current petrol car is 13yo so will need replacing eventually.


The wikipedia page doesn't list Italy as one of the countries where they are produced.

Whereas the article and Nestlé themselves state there is a production site in Italy:

  Swiss food giant Nestlé says about 12 tons, or 413,793 candy bars, of its KitKat chocolate brand were stolen after leaving its production site in Italy earlier this week for Poland.

You overestimate Wikipedia.

The author has been using AI for other Lisp projects.

He's been also doing Lisp projects before GenAI, so…

Yes, but it seems to me like atgreen takes care to ensure the result is decent, so I would hesitate before calling it slop. I may be wrong, though.

Can put panels on walls too.


That engineer didn't give up for very long, he designed a different 32-bit machine for Computervision fairly soon after, it is featured in the AMD PAL book from the early 80s.



I wrote a hypertext system that created dialog boxes on the fly and used the callback for the custom object type to implement links.


You can do a lot of stuff with the system as it is since it does expose a lot of its internals (and when you need to replicate functionality, there isn't that much in there to replicate so it is perfectly doable), but my point is that it wasn't as flexible or capable as Windows 1.0.

It wasn't just Microsoft's marketing skills that made Windows overshadow GEM, it was also that Windows was genuinely a better product - both from a technical and a functional perspective.
