Something about the car models and design choices looks more like 1930s than 1950s.

If anybody knows somebody at YouTube, make sure they get this message.

Otherwise, some McKinsey idiot will come in ignoring this fact and YouTube will go down the drain too.

Question: A lot of PC apps like CAD, Adobe, etc. are inherently two-handed. Many mouse operations are shift-click, option-click, etc. Have you found a solution for holding the shift key while you operate the mouse? Are there special keyboards that just have latching shift/option/control keys? Thanks

@kurtkohlstedt.bsky.social Hi Kurt. I followed your 99PI series on learning to type one handed. Now I'm facing surgery that will put my non-dominant (left) hand out of commission for months.

Your cats get along so well. Ours were constant companions as kittens but snarl at each other 15 years on.

I found myself sitting across from Stroustrup at a company event. Asked him what sort of tools he used for debugging C++ code.

He said "Oh, I never use a debugger. Most of my programming is short test programs. If something doesn't work, maybe I add a print statement."

Just experienced significant hearing loss in a freeway accident a couple weeks ago.

Six airbags went off at once.

OK, the Curta was an EBay purchase.

But the slide rule and HP-25 date back to high school.
