On the hardware side... If I still have a 2nd gen iPod that hadn't been booted up in like 20 years. What are my chances of reviving it?

Oh, I thought it was more about the first playlist, which is indeed commercials. The rest seemed like the regular top hits. Always wondered how their creative team picked those bands...

These are all from iPod commercials

Counterclockwise, correct.

Actually, paper orientation was a big help too. Used to tilt the sheet so you write almost bottom-to-top, that way you at least don't smuge the writing right away, and hopefully the ink dries quick enough for the next line

Always found that writing stuff down helps me to remember things better, whether studying something, prepping for an exam, or in general. Didn't even matter if I didn't look at those notes again, it just got "stored" better.

Didn't know he is a lefty too! Fountain pens + lefty is a tough combo; we had to use fountain pens in the 1st grade and my wrist was always stained on the side. Agree with the rollerball angle, Pilot V5 is my go to now...

Interestingly, quite a few places that should treat query strings transparently make a lot of assumptions about their structure. We ran into that when picking a new CDN, some providers didn't handle repeat parameters (?a=1&a=2) correctly.

Big nod. I've been trying to register our company to sell customized products. It's been quite an ordeal with document rejections etc, and at the end they just said the rejection is final. No support, no appeals, no transparency. Yet those ALLCAPS companies seem have no troubles.

Loved Borland IDE at the time. I still miss Ctrl-KB/KK (IIRC?) style selections from time to time.

These days Far Manager (via far2l) or MC kind of scratch the itch for quick TUI edits.

Impressing, but I can't believe we went from fixing bugs to coffee-grounds-divination-prompt-guessing-and-tweaking when things don't actually go well /s

Like when Claude suddenly decides it's not happy with a tiny one-off script and generates 20 refined versions :D

I'm ok using a limited resource _if_ I know how much of it I am using. The lack of visible progress towards limits is annoying.
