Went to a new (to me!) store selling used #LEGO today in Colchester, with an #AFOL buddy. We had great fun rummaging through their bulk bins for some treasure. My haul now needs sorting! The Brick Bin UK also has a well stocked Bricklink store where they let you pick up orders in person from the shop.

Twenty five years ago today, @paulguyot compiled and published the very first edition of the Newton FAQ.

This resource is still maintained and actively updated by me and the #AppleNewton community at large.

Twenty. Five. Years.

Users do not care whether you code in Python or Javascript or C# or Java or Cobol.

They care about software that solves their problems.

If you went to a cyberpunk author from the early 80s and said "in 40 years murder will become legal because of a contract provision the Disney corporation attached to a television show" the author would go "yes, yes, of course, exactly that scenario is in my book" and then pause and say "wait but you mean like, for real?"

UPDATE

Me, trying to get two divs to display next to each other using CSS flexbox: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

@mwichary yup, exactly that. So can play with different fonts on one device. Even share them for others to modify.
If someone loads *modified* JSON and it fails, no big deal?
Save slots would also be fun. You could build a whole library ... And would fit the retro aesthetic too

I assume it's perfectly normal to have to write a lot of non code to do well :)

Today, I added a plugin to to automate mounting floppy disk images lol :

Wish me luck, ordered a USB to serial cable and some size and null adapters from AliExpress. Has to be worth ten quid to try and get this machine online....
