NeXTstep? (Leaving aside fun spitballing about whether Tahoe is morally OPENSTEP 26, and whether it was NeXT that actually bought Apple for negative $400 million...)

Alas, I never had access to any of the Next environments, until PPC MacOS.

I did hold a copy in my hands for 486-class machines in the college bookstore.


This is incredibly useful - not for Scheme, but for someone like me interested in bootstrapping languages and frameworks in general. I hope you find a way to share the best practices you've learned in a broader context.

Luckily, we can omit needless words... but AI hasn't integrated Strunk and White into SOUL.md yet.

TFA is a little unclear, but I think it might be a (userspace) driver signing situation?

It'll be interesting to see whether this is price-competitive versus remoting into a cluster. Might be for smaller orgs/consultants.

Once you parse the marketing speak, looks like there may be ARM ISA silicon in future System Z.

But, what are their legacy finance-sector customers asking for here? Are they trying to add ARM to LinuxONE, while maintaining the IBM hardware-based nine nines uptime strategy/sweet support contract paradigm?

If so, why don't the Visas of the world just buy 0xide, for example?

Man, I'd love to play around with an emulator for that.

Any alternate source of fuel in a petrol crisis, really. If someone figures out how to run car on Kit Kats I’m sure there’ll be a market.

As an alternate framing, with the paperwork be giving her what she needs to go to her boss and escalate, and their boss as needed - the paperwork as a magic ticket for everyone to advocate. To qualify that, the fax is a limited resource, and I'd be concerned about how what other things the fax might be needed for to help other people in a timely manner...

Perhaps the fax-related expenses would be the magic ticket their boss needed to justify security scanning of emails with PDFs. I just listened to Trump brag for ten minutes about replacing the thousand-dollar signing pens.

The post is tagged non-fiction, but it ignores the option to "Complete your Disabilty Update Report Online (https://www.ssa.gov/ssi/text-cdrs-ussi.htm), which I found after following the link in the first sentence.

The form is an embedded iFrame from "Adobe Acrobat Sign", supposedly pure Javascript . It would be a bigger story if this form were not accessible to the disabled.

The form includes a place to attach two PDF, text, or image formats. "Attachments are limited to 5MB and 25 pages".


A couple of possibilities spring to mind. Likelier that Karen lied, but maybe the 512 page fax changed the system.

The post dated March 25 2026 says "This week, I received The Letter."

More likely he had a fun idea and ran with it to illustrate other problems he's had.

I can say from personal experience that the people on the phone for US Social Security are enforcing inhumane policies. A relative with a speech impediment and in serious pain who was unable to travel to the office for an interview had to be ready for a phone call. If the phone wasn't answered after four rings, have to reschedule a phone call. When the phone call arrived, they had to answer questions personally without assistance or "coaching". The caller couldn't understand the relative due to the speech impediment, and the relative was in distress and having difficulty understanding the questions. But we weren't supposed to help.


Disclaimer – I am not a compilers person:

Could some from of static analysis determine whether the time between two wait-until-quantum calls exceeds a clock cycle (given assumptions)?
