Sometimes you simply ignore asking why and sit in awe of the what of it all. Impressive and nostalgic.


Robert's cover art set the tone for each issue. His covers danced a fine line between whimsical and informative.


He always managed to capture the soul of the subject.


Yes, that's it.


Interesting that accessibility was not a theme (watched the online video, not the presentation). I'm interested to see what some low-sight folk might use this. Go shopping and have all the product labels magnified 20-30x?


And some positions allow you to vote for "up to" some number of candidates. Town selectman is a typical example.


Excellent point, I've never seen that. The whole structure of election has a lot of variation from place to place, which is a major stumbling block for people who want simple, universal technological solutions.

And I forgot write-ins! You don't even have a fixed set of candidates in a given election!


First thing that came to my mind was something doing garbarge collection (obviously not RTOS).


GitHub / GitLab pages? No RSS feed, but a popular way to share lists.


I'm also curious as to what is tiresome running as a regular user. I'm a developer and run two users (standard/admin) without any issue. Only issue I run into is having to switch to the admin user to run brew.


Remember when Apple made a delusional commercial that mocked UAC [1] yet here we are over 15 years later and it looks like Microsoft was the one that got it right. Under Windows you can have multiple windows open each running as different users.

...which you can do with:

    su - admin
You can also run gui apps as admin, like:

    sudo -u admin /System/Applications/Utilities/Console.app/Contents/MacOS/Console


Don't forget dragging the app onto the terminal window completes the path


Still my "go to" day-to-day text editor. My favorite editor when I used a Mac Quadra and my favorite editor today. Thanks Rich!


Same here, from Quadra to M1. :-)


Have two copies, one for each ScanSnap S510M connected to a Mac. It simply keeps working.


Been doing a lot of internal documentation with Gilab pages, Sphinx, and Myst (markdown for Sphinx). There are pre-built templates for the Continuous Integration for rebuilding the pages.
