The Windows 95 user interface: a case study in usability engineering
If this isn't catnip to the average OSNews reader, I don't know what is.
Windows 95 is a comprehensive upgrade to the Windows 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups 3.11 products. Many changes have been made in almost every area of Windows, with the user interface being no exception. This paper discusses

Yes we might all die but I for one will die doing this and rapidly provisioning systems with a few shell scripts. More on that soon.

Just a reminder to anyone in the #Raleigh #NC area TODAY, Feb 28th 2026, we're having a #Fediverse #MeetUp at Sir Walter Coffee, E. Davies St. Meeting there around 1800 until whenever folks care to wrap up.
おはようございます。
Ok, time to have some fun at this weekend

The answer to the mystery: because my function had a `yield` in it, it was compiled as a generator. But executing the function never ran `yield`, so iterating it produced an empty sequence. The value from the return statement is ignored.
TBH, I know there is a way to get the returned value, but I have never needed to, and I don't know how.
The solution was to delete the code after the return.
I don’t know what the hell ICE / CBP / FBI?? / other feds are up to, but we’ve had several •huge• swarms of federal vehicles rolling out these last few days.
They aren’t doing the kinds of chaotic off-the-street kidnappings there were doing all through Dec and Jan. But they sure are up to •something•.
1/
Yesterday the Trump regime served warrants to a bunch of locals who were at that peaceful protest of the violent church where the regional ICE director preaches.
That protest is old news, the same event about which they’re trying to nail Don Lemon to the wall. Yesterday they came for both protestors and reporters, AIUI.
Light coverage here, which doesn't mention that they banged on people’s door at 4:30-6:30am with warrants and tossed them in federal detention all day. Just shameless, unalloyed harassment.
2/
The Epstein files coverup could be the cause of a new -- and final -- world war.

checking the BBC homepage has been a curse since COVID days. not a single day goes by without bad news. it feels like the whole decade is jinxed. i'm actually exhausted. does any one else feel like this?
Oh, I'm sure the whole practice of randomly abducting or killing foreign heads of state without any legal basis or even much of an attempt at a justification will definitely not have any entirely predictable or dangerous repercussions down the road.

New blog post out now!
I'm talking a bit about how it all began, why I still push the blog to Codeberg, my short lived journey with Elfsight and why I'm now on Ghost.
I kept it really short since I don't think it needs much words.
For that, there are 7 posts planned for next month so stay tuned!

Migrating from Elfsight to Ghost
My way from misusing Codeberg for my blog to a very short-lived adventure with Elfsight to the new home of my blog, Ghost Greetings everyone, this time there's no code block with info about me. I think that's no more necessary at this point. At the time of writing this

I had a rough week. Send cats please 
What if I could convince you that taking the same time to explain detailed requirements and carefully validate results with a junior colleague instead of a chatbot would not only give you two people who understood the code instead of zero, but if you do it a few times in a row you eventually get a senior colleague out of the deal for free.

What's your current opinion on the touching of computers?
Do you still find joy in it?
I'm honestly quite frustrated with... gestures around and so I'm thinking of quitting.
I still really enjoy programming and I haven't lost excitement in it. I am lucky to be in a situation where I can avoid using or working with the output of LLM coding assistants professionally so I feel somewhat sheltered from the whole LLM craze. It does feel like a creeping supernatural force that is getting closer and closer, though. But yeah in my free time I have had so much fun writing hand-written Lisp code with Spritely's technology, and that has been a joy.
RE: https://solarpunk.moe/@vv/116144047825989190
are you working on anything cool right now?
I am pretty excited about a couple of high energy tracks that I've been working on, and I even have lyrics for one of them, so that's exciting! I'm going to work more on them today. I have also been coding a little tracker that runs in the browser and uses Lisp and that's been so much fun.

Who are your partner(s)? I tried figuring it out but I'm bad at following
@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber is a partner who has a fedi/bsky presence. I have another partner who ~doesn't go to this school~ isn't active here, and, being a relationship anarchist, I also have some more loosely defined connections and am actively doing other dating!
"Anthropic is guilty not only of wildly exaggerating the capabilities of AI, and promoting dystopian fantasies of ‘AI doom’, but also quietly advocating the deeply misanthropic philosophy on which it was founded. ‘Claude’s constitution is an unfortunate development in AI governance that minimises human values, rules, and rights’, Jarovsky says.
But knowing what we know about Effective Altruism, perhaps that isn’t a defect, but the main feature of the product."

This is my new artist profile! Give it a follow if you're interested in my music. I'll still be boosting my music releases on here, but I wanted to provide an account that was just for my music, and didn't require follow requests, so it was easier for music fans to stay in touch. #EncryptedWhispers
