i was sad for several minutes thinking that a hackerspace had no darkroom, and how terrible that was then i remembered that it's 2014 and developing film is a totally pointless thing to do. i suddenly feel really old. (so much for my backup career in a photo shop)

Nintendo Kid posted:i'm pretty sure it being the built in language to the major early pcs literally did happen. and that normal people certainly weren't buying other languages. home computers had BASIC so your children could learn to be computer wizards in their spare time. dumbass poo poo sold to dumbasses. BASIC was never useful for anything except pedagogy. you were not going to get a job doing work with BASIC. there were no BASIC applications. the only commercial BASIC implementations were failures. hp, specifically, lost millions upon millions of dollars learning hard truths about BASIC viability edit: here is the only good thing to come out of HP's dabbling with BASIC. a terminal out of the fuckin jetsons this woman is doing very important BASIC work. in other words, marking student assignments.

this guy was banned from noisebridge for sleeping there and stealing people's poo poo. for instance, he decided to use ethernet cabling as a belt. that is a constructive use of space resources it's been said several times, but the entire 86 page is a gold mine edit: several people have been banned for sleeping on top of the elevator. why is that such envied space?
