Isn't it just! Even today, Brief puts some of our 'modern' editors to shame...

BruceEel — Sun, 22 Feb 2026 16:03:33 +0000

Very, very cool. Besides the top-performing models, it's interesting (if I'm reading this correctly) that gpt-5.2 did ~2x better than gpt-5.2-codex.. why?

A tragedy, yes. I can't be the only old fart around here with fond memories of John Siracusa's macOS ("OS X") reviews & Jon "Hannibal" Stokes' deep dives in CPU microarchitectures...

Yes please! Speaking of which, was it Window Blinds(?) that could back/forward port UI themes across various Windows versions? Are they still around?

BruceEel — Sat, 22 Nov 2025 05:40:09 +0000

While we are here, may I ask what are some blogs you guys read regularly? (Regularly as in: going back to read new articles as opposed to a one-off link shared on some other platform.)

Neat. Personally, I wasn't aware of mathjax, it's a bit of a revelation to learn you can do this. I like very much the fact that the ASCII side is highly readable - compared to say, LaTeX (to me, anyway!) - as something I could use in code comments.

Beautiful. I remember running iTunes 5 on my Powerbook G4, incredible how things have changed.

That's exactly what I like, airplane mode-friendly. Thanks!
