What's the opinion here on decimal floating point (_Decimal32/64/128)? I'm guessing there's a significant amount of business software using double for monetary amounts out there that could benefit this being standardized. I think it has been in gcc for over a decade as an extension though...

I used info in this article when I made this VSCode-theme a couple of years ago: https://vscodethemes.com/e/krueger71.crt-themes/crt-amber?la...

I tried to coax all elements in VSCode to use only two colors (background and foreground) with the foreground in only a few different intensities. It might give a CRT-vibe to some.

The theme is due for an update since newer VSCode has elements that aren't styled correctly.

Back in the day I thought Netbeans rocked! Instead of the Lego-like assembly of plugins in Eclipse you got something that worked right out of the box (we're talking a 10-15 years ago and focused on Java/JEE/JSF).

I had an Onkyo 5.1 system in service from 2002 - 2018. Great stuff! First movie I watched on the system with a 28" CRT TV was "Driven" on DVD. Going from TV-speakers to a full set of speakers including subwoofer was amazing! Later on it serviced Blu-ray:s and a PS4 beautifully.

I use a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W as a cupsd print server. It is powered by usb from the Wi-Fi router and connected directly to an old USB laser printer nearby. Works great to print wirelessly.

I also have a Raspberry Pi 4 (8gb) with an Argon One M.2 case and a Kingston SSD. I use it mainly for coding/tinkering in C, Pharo, Racket etc. Not logged into any social media or mail in the web browser, just using it to read docs etc. Fast enough to be usable but no speed demon for sure. Overclocked to around 2GHz/64-bit OS.
