What is Hackers' Pub?

Hackers' Pub is a place for software engineers to share their knowledge and experience with each other. It's also an ActivityPub-enabled social network, so you can follow your favorite hackers in the fediverse and get their latest posts in your feed.

"The IBM 5100 Portable Computer, introduced on September 10, 1975, was one of the earliest attempts to shrink mainframe-style power into a transportable system. Evolving from the 1973 SCAMP prototype—built at IBM’s Los Gatos Scientific Center—the 5100 brought APL and BASIC computing to a single-user machine that weighed 25 kg and cost between $8,975 and $19,975. Although marketed as “portable,” it required mains power, yet its integrated design was groundbreaking: a 5-inch CRT, keyboard, tape drive, system ROM, and up to 64 KB of RAM housed in a suitcase-sized enclosure.

At its core was IBM’s 16-bit PALM processor, capable of addressing 64 KB directly and using bank switching for larger configurations. The machine’s ROM contained full interpreters for APL and BASIC—adapted from IBM’s System/370 and System/3 environments—enabled by microcode emulation. This allowed the 5100 to run software from larger IBM systems without redesign.

The 5100 offered QIC tape storage, optional external printers or typewriters, and a communications adapter emulating an IBM 2741 terminal. Users could connect an external monitor via BNC, and models supporting both languages included a hardware toggle to switch between APL and BASIC.

Withdrawn in 1982 after the release of the IBM 5110 and 5120, the IBM 5100 remains a pioneering milestone, representing IBM’s first practical step toward personal computing through portability and microcode-based compatibility."

I've always used `Process` for calling Terminal commands in my macOS apps. Now the Swift language team have given us `Subprocess'.

In this article. I explore how to use `Subprocess` and how it compares to `Process`.

My sample app is on GitHub: github.com/trozware/subprocess

개발도 엣지 케이스는 기술이 아니라 어느 개인의 패티쉬의 영역인 경우가 많음.

오픈소스는 대체로 공통적으로 나타나는 현상을 프로젝트로 다룸으로서,누군가의 과한 패티쉬에 따른 고통(?)을 완화하는데 도움을 줄 수 있다.

The entire software department at work was fired yesterday. I had already quit and today is my last day. While I already have a new position starting next week, the rest of the department is looking. There are QA, frontend ( ), and backend ( ) engineers, technical writer and software compliance specialists, UI/UX designers, SREs, our manager. If you're in or on-site, I'd love to forward contact details.

"冒頭のやり取りが示す通り、2人は顔を合わせれば気軽に言葉を交わす。

そこは同世代だ。

時には恋の話、いわゆる恋バナだってする。

今から20年以上前だが、こんなこともあった。

例によって「朝生」出演時の出来事。

出番前にスタジオ横で待機していると、結婚したばかりの野田聖子氏(自民党衆院議員)の話題になった。

「高市さんが『誰かおれへんかな』って言うから、『私も探してんねんけど、誰もけえへんわ』とかっていう話をして」"
