    Thomas E. Kurtz, co-creator of BASIC programming language, dies at 96

    [12:53] schestowitz[TR2]

    In the early 1960s, before the days of laptops and smartphones, a computer was the size of a small car and an institution like Dartmouth College, where Dr. Kurtz taught, had just one. Programming one was the province of scientists and mathematicians, specialists who understood the nonintuitive commands used to manipulate data through those hulking machines, which processed data in large batches, a [12:53] schestowitz[TR2] n effort that sometimes took days or weeks to complete.

    Major Overhaul: OpenWrt Adopts Alpine's APK as New Package Manager
    [13:15] schestowitz[TR2]
    [13:15] schestowitz[TR2]

    In a bold and unexpected move, OpenWrt announced a major change: the venerable OPKG package manager has been replaced by APK. I hasten to clarify just in case despite the name, APK here has nothing to do with Androids APK (Android Package) files.

    [13:15] schestowitz[TR2]

    So, as of November 2024, OpenWrts snapshots from the main development branch and future stable releases will use APK for package management.

    Archinstall 3.0 Enhances User Experience with Redesigned TUI

    [13:15] schestowitz[TR2]

    One of the biggest highlights of this release is the complete overhaul of the TUI (Text User Interface), which now relies on the curses library. This allows for more sophisticated layouts while maintaining a look and feel, promising a smoother experience for both new and seasoned users.

[22:01] schestowitz[TR2] This is like saying they a 1st class seat on Delta has been replaced with a "basic minus" seat on bankrupt Spirit airlines. Are they really fungible? Would you be fine paying first class prices for a seat on Spirit? That is how we "replace" jobs with AI today. Marginal quality at best; vastly worse than an experienced human; powered by a lack of valid metrics - more BS "OKRs" that measure nothing meaningful.
