But I could probably still run my Perl code from 15 years ago, while anything built in Python refuses to run after each minor version upgrade in a dependency far, far away.

Delphi was great for the time.

What did TEML.exe do?

Sorry, it does make sense. It's is different from PIN et al.

La Spaziale Mini Vivaldi - bought it ages ago when we didn't have kids and could spend time and money on these things. :-)

A dosing ring can help. A nice one from metal is 10 Euro.

We are moving into a new flat and I have high hopes that the dark concrete look of the new kitchen will hide the mess I always leave behind when making coffee.

Your grind is intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Do your manage to tamper that pile of coffee down without spilling half over the rim?

It exist. Canon EcoTank inkjet. Super reliable, super cheap, good quality.

Was using brother laser printers for many years, but this one is even better.

pile of old suits

pile of old suits

Bad: None of my suits from 10 to 15 years ago fit me anymore.

Good: I apparently didn't have to wear a suit in a long time.

Time to clean everything out.

Yes, medium-sized-family-transportation was basically a solved problem with the often ridiculed minivans. Gone from all car makers now. We still have a Grand Picasso, but I hope to get rid of the car completely, as we move more into the city center now and have better public transport + car-sharing.

Maybe I should write a course about logging. You can learn it too!

It's a process. I was first moved into the living room as well and then finally kicked out to a coworking space.

This year out pediatrician didn't get enough stock, so she could only give a shot to the kids. The past years we also had the convenient option.

My last version was Turbo Pascal 6 iirc, but it was definitely a great language/kit that was cleverly evolved from it's academic roots.

Anyone from Portugal, can you confirm if there is actually any food that you DON'T put fried eggs on?

Conversation feels fake. Not saying that it can't be a good marketing channel, but don't go there trying to make connections, have fun or a good debate.

Are Meta glasses still a thing? Haven't heard anything new about them for some time, so: is development still ongoing? How neutered are they in Europe? #meta #metaglasses

Ceck it for the few hundred Bitcoin you stored on it and that you deemed worthless at that time.

LOL, we were overruled as well. When we were travelling on our boat was the only time, where we could convince them to go with a small plastic tree.

LinkedIn sucks, but not because of recruiting messages.

I always thought that was a bit more south near Almeria / El Ejido. And that is why they have a million greenhouses there.

We spent a winter there with the family. Wonderful.

Also have a nurse as a wife. When the kids were small we mostly managed to do the holidays on time by switching around shifts. We are now slowly relaxing that, but the 7yo put his foot down for christmas presents on the right day this year.

skill issues with C. :-)

mostly good library support for many things i need.

i did a similar system (similar only in: does a similar task) in Java at a previous company - even though the JVM is amazing these days, I hope to have better consistency without a GC trying to clean up my mess.

coffee first, then the day job, later some high-performance distributed system for market data in rust.

I seem to remember that back in the day OpenGL was much nicer to program with than any of the alternatives (i.e. direct) Has that changed?
