Zero Trick Pony"...your 2pm is an interview with our next technical candidate. The recruiter wanted to forewarn you that although it seems to be a huge hovering blood-shot eyeball that intones the words 'I AM THE SWORD' in a booming voice in response to any question, it did correctly write the solution to fizbuzz on the whiteboard in python so we are planning to move forward..."
❖ Ultra10If you have an IBM PS/2 model 35SX or model 40SX, I encourage you to PLEASE CHECK YOUR BIOS ROMs! I am looking for 10G4128/10G4127 from 1992 which have currently been spotted in the wild who-knows-how-long-ago but are not yet dumped.
These are rather rare ISA machines when they do show up and having this final ROM set will make life easier for anyone that has one of these two machines.
Been out in Japan for the past two weeks on a solo trip, heading home tomorrow. The best times I had were out in Shikoku; been fun to know just enough 日本語 to halfway communicate in areas that don't see many westerners, and to see smaller towns built around the locals instead of around tourists.
Just watched this fantastic fantastic lecture on expert/academic writing. Pragmatic and borderline cynical but he really picks apart the realities of writing for an expert audience who is reading your work voluntarily.
Love these old interviews with the UNIX team. So many new-at-the-time concepts that are still the main way to do things today. And they're just another bunch of nerds forced by corporate to give awkward demos to the camera :p

LB: https://artisans.coop is a new Etsy alternative that's cooperatively owned by the sellers, and they're (we're? I bought a founding share, and have been advising a bit) launching today.
I'm really glad to see more businesses like this, and seeing co-op-style businesses helping each other out. Etsy is way down the enshittification route already, and small creators need better places to support them without defaulting to wealth extraction.
Artisans CooperativeHave you heard the news? Artisans Cooperative is now open with over 70 artisan shops and 1,200 handmade products and counting!
We are so thrilled to celebrate our launch during National Co-op Month, a time when cooperatives around the world are raising awareness of the cooperative business model.
Explore the marketplace and join our vibrant handmade community at https://artisans.coop.
