This website provides the full back archive of BYTE magazine, all 23 years of it from 1975 to to 1998. It's a treasure trove of vintage tech and nostalgia, not even Archive.org carries all the issues.
The site actually focuses on old Apple magazines, but has also PC magazines and other resources on the history of microcomputing.

This week, a bailiff stopped me and acted as though I was in the wrong place as I walked through a portion of the courthouse that is restricted to attorneys and judges.
I'm an attorney. I was wearing a suit and conducting myself just like every other attorney in that area.
This is not the first time that has happened. I can think of several other instances in various counties where courthouse security has assumed that my black skin means I must not be an attorney.
I'm tired of it.

@b0rk I’ve at least tripped over it when working in Java with its lack of unsigned types (ugh). It’s nice to at least conceptually know that this chunk of bits looks like whatever number. It wouldn’t be the end of the world if you didn’t know the details but it is a nice to know.

Interesting graph shared by Caitlin Johnstone showing that hourly pay for workers [adjusted for inflation] basically flatlined after the early 1970s, while productivity continued to climb.
Her comment: "The dark blue line after 1973 is theft. They stole that money from their workers. But nothing happened, because capitalism legalizes theft from the working class by the capitalist class."
Too true!
