Spatie (creators of a bunch of Laravel/PHP packages) is postcardware, too! https://spatie.be/open-source/postcards

This post just makes me realize that one day I need to buy myself an oscilloscope.

+1 for ControlD. I've been using for a while, and whilst it does have false positives sometimes and I need to manually add a site to the allow list, it works great for me. Also, their support has been very helpful whenever I needed something.

I read it as "how much is actually assembled in Finland versus arriving pre-assembled?"

Yes, but which pieces are put together there and which are already assembled elsewhere?

> Hiding filename extensions was one of the capital sins in computer history

Amen. The first thing I do on any (Windows) OS installation is make sure file extensions are shown. I guess Microsoft did that for "simplicity", but it also made for easy "virus.jpg.vbs" files.

Wait, which Outlook is this? Is it "new Outlook" or "Outlook (new)"?

That's your first red flag right there.

I hate to admit it, but I'm pretty sure that's the same for me, too. Dial-up, NetZero I think. Waiting for images to download...

There is, actually. It's called removing the AI agent. Done.

I respect the amount of work that goes into projects like this; I can't wait to be able to play it.

I learned about this site from the TV show "Going Deep with David Rees" (episode 2)! I recommend that show if you haven't seen it.

I found an HP-12c at Savers for like $2 about 2 years ago! It's a "financial calculator" and I don't really know how to use it :-)

Maybe it's just me, but I hate the word "agentic" so much.

Sorry Spotify, but if it's AI-generated then by [my] definition it's "slop." We - or at least I - don't want AI music, we don't care about your AI. I'm just so tired of hearing about AI and new AI stuff.

Also, one of my friends uses Suno to make "music" and put it on YouTube, and I just don't have the heart to tell him it's "slop" and I've never/won't listen to it.

I meant in general.

For whatever reason, I forgot that Go uses a gopher as its mascot. But like, their PHP books don't use an elephant.

I dunno, I was just curious if the author could pick an animal to be on the cover, or if it wasn't their choice.

I have a small collection of programming/technology books, some from O'Reilly, others from Manning and No Starch Press. I've read them and they have been very helpful, but I will admit that I been buying less books. They take up space, and my shelves are full of these and other books like novels and manga.

Also, now when I am trying to learn a language, I just work on a project and search in the docs (or just on Kagi) to find what I am trying to do. Maybe a physical book would be a quicker reference, and maybe I should buy some more of them.

P.S. I enjoy finding old computer books (like DOS/Win95 era) at the thrift store.

This has nothing to do with the article posted or anything, I was just curious... who gets to pick the animal on the book cover? Do you (the author) get to pick, or does the publisher (O'Reilly) pick?
