this won't age well.

I like this magazine vibe, it reminds me of the good ol' l33t zines from the late '80s and '90s. However, if I can offer a suggestion, I'd also pair the technical articles with a little more punky, down-to-earth stuff. They were cheerful, informal, and full of that cheeky, irreverent, cocky smart-ass humor, plus this mysterious edge that made them absolutely magnetic to me. Life just wasn’t so heavy back then.

Thanks for the suggestion! I wouldn't mind having such articles in PO! tbh - let me think what can we do about it (or rather: let me pass this to the rest of the team so they think about it too).

I like this format and I also like irreverent humor like the BOFH chronicles... can I submit content for consideration in the next issue ?

I think we should try. We'll have to figure out how to mark it so that it's clear it's a work of fiction, though on the other hand it might be obvious. Anyway, submit it :)

Also, how about 1 page tech-related entertaining short stories?

like Mondo 2000 :)

I still have my Mondo 2000 zine. It was literally a futurist guidebook for cyberpunk of today. Better living through chemistry, memes, cybernetics were all predicted by Mondo.

Wow cool. I have not heard of Mondo 2000 reading hn for almost 20 years. And did not realize Boing Boing was so old. Makes me wonder what else existed.

My family had a bunch of "Dr. Dobb’s Journal of Computer Calisthenics & Orthodontia"[0] and similar things (BYTE, COMPUTE!). (Which seem slightly dryer, but maybe more like Paged Out.)

TIL :D

Sadly I don't know if that kind of 80s/90s irreverence would go well with today's sensitivities.

that's the point! we got so concerned with creating a safe space for everyone that can't possible offend we lost site of the community building intent. The crux is to have people self-select without offending them, but IMO it's not a binary goal.

I’m on version 8.8.8, which says a lot.

This time I unfortunately have to move on from Notepad++. Vibes have been negative for a while but out of inertia (and because there weren't obvious alternatives) I never pulled the trigger. Now it's time. The trust is gone.

Thanks NP++ for being free and useful for so many years.

Can anyone suggest a solid alternative on Windows? I'm fine with Linux and macOS but I have to keep a Windows machine around for some legacy, win only, software.

Maybe Sublime Text could be an option? At this point I'd rather pay for something lightweight, fast, and probably better.

I don't like tooling that increases my exposure to bad state actors (whatever state they're from).

What a weird reason to switch. I don't know why you'd believe any other piece of software is somehow more secure against state actors.

Are we supposed to ignore announcements of documented compromises then? Or are you saying compromised software is the safest of all?

Sublime Text. It's art.

It was great 10 years ago before VS Code, but Sublime has been abandonware for years now.

I got both Sublime and VSCode. Sublime is a work of love. You can probably do more things with vscode, but I'm not sure you can do many of these things better or faster than sublime. I don't think so.

Thanks. I'm on it right now. Testing.

No way! just go with 120gr of whatever pasta you have (must be: spaghetti, linguine, paccheri, mezze maniche or rigatoni).

Domain is "for sale"

It so happens that a friend of a friend of mine works at this company. I'll ask for some details.

Report back.

And anyway, we Italians have done some good things in the past. Not that this can't be a new EmDrive.

Wow, very fast. Looking at: https://builtwith.com/detailed/tailwindcss.com

Speechless. I love this kind of creativity and agency.
