Je sais que la comparaison est boiteuse mais le timing des deux nouvelles m'a inspiré ce petit #meme avec #microsoft et #linux . 🪟 🐧
Et je me rappelle que la sortie du processeur #Intel486 remonte à bien des lustres (1989) mais ce que je ne savais pas, c'est qu'il était encore produit jusqu'en 2007... ça reste impressionnant, considérant les avancés technologiques des processeurs.

ms-dos vga hi-res mode shareware perfection: Bert's Dinosaurs
not only did coder figure out how to draw in the underused 640x480 16 colour mode, but they also figured out how to destroy the pc speaker with their kid's digitized voice 👏
new .plan post: doing a computing science degree the hard way, or how Tim Cain saved the day
want to learn how a programmer's lack of experience with a specific kind of computing science problem leads to a year-long rut in building software? i wrote about how Exigy got the ability to save and load, because I refused to take a CS course in Data Structures.
woooo time for a kiki update. this one is a bugfix release that corrects two super annoying problems with RSS feed generation.
while we all love RSS, it has to be one of the most finicky protocols to actually write code for 😅. every client seems to have its own quirks. so here's my attempt at keeping the protocol alive and happy:
- RSS feeds now show the correct pubdate time because it now takes timezone into consideration, and then converts your timezone to GMT.
- under very weird and unknown conditions, incorrect rss URLs were being generated. While I couldn't reproduce the exact cause (I suspect it was due to robots scraping kiki instances and the PHP server not generating browser variables for them), I was able to eliminate the bug with a small change to how URLs are generated.
thank you to kiki oper @kickingk for catching both of these bugs.
and if you're new to kiki, this is your invitation to join the kiki club!
there is a free shareware version here for those who want to get their toes wet with building their own little blog, and a paid registered version for folks who want to dive straight in :D
