Unprompted

A coder named [SnailMail] has taken on the challenge of writing his own text editor, from scratch, in C, on a 386. Modern IDEs, code completion and AI integration did not gel with him, so he dug up diskettes for Borland Turbo C and Turbo C++ and did it 1980s style -- poring over books and coding by hand. This was the first programming language the young coder learned. In order to emulate the developers of the time, hardware was also limited to period PCs (an IBM he won on an auction for $630.)

[SnailMail] describes how his solution works from about 8:00 in the video (YT). No word on whether he copied that floppy.

Toasting Marshmallows

We have two 'in case of fire, break glass' boxes, which you pick between based on how big of a problem the fire is. One has an extinguisher, and one has sticks, marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate.

Op jubileumeditie van North Sea Jazz is kiezen uit het rijke aanbod de grootste uitdaging

De door koningin Máxima geopende jubileumeditie van North Sea Jazz in Ahoy Rotterdam begon vrijdag uitbundig en overvloedig. De programmering was de eerste festivaldag zó rijk dat kiezen pijn deed.
