Microsoft must have been listening--the latest update did *not* re-add an Edge icon to my desktop (for once)!

Instead, they've pinned "Copilot" to the first position on my taskbar, completely breaking all my app-launching muscle memory🤦‍♂️

Copilot can be uninstalled easily, at least.

@retrobits Sorry for the blast from the past, but in Retrocomputing Roundtable no. 59 you mentioned publishing a PDF version of Scott Ballantyne's Blazin' Forth (C64) manual. Is that published somewhere on the web?

I've searched everywhere and haven't been able to find anything other than the (ironically named?) EZScript original and a PETSCII conversion.

Sorry again to bug you about something so old!

I'm surprised Nim isn't more popular. Maybe because no one cares about the size of executables anymore?

Does anyone have suggestions for interesting programming languages to try?

I set a goal to write code in 100 different programming languages (solving Project Euler problems). Right now, I'm up to 35 (mostly old/obscure).

Favorites so far: SectorLISP, Piet, BBC BASIC, Unison, PostScript, Factor, Rebol, Turbo Pascal, and... SIC-1 Assembly Language, of course!

Finally found the setting in about:config. It's called "accessibility.typeaheadfind.manual" (which doesn't mention "quick find" and doesn't actually seem related to accessbilitiy to me). How did I find it? Had to track down the code change that resolved the bug I eventually found on this topic: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/c3559084af4a

After 10 minutes of searching and toggling options, I still can't figure out how to disable "quickfind" (aka "highjacking the slash key") in Firefox. I really thought setting the "quickfind" option to false would do it, but apparently not :(

Anyone want to write code in 100 different programming languages with me? (Note: I didn't say "learn 100 programming languages"). I will interpret silence as an endorsement of this idea. Tracking my progress here: https://github.com/jaredkrinke/100-languages

Apparently there's a way to see why a Windows computer woke up from sleep unexpectedly: "powercfg -lastwake".

In my case, it was because of "HP Print Scan Doctor" -- presumably to make sure I'm using officially licensed HP toner or something dumb like that...

SIC-1 already has infinity percent more Steam Awards votes that I was expecting. Somehow it's even showing up as "popular & recommended" for "Best Game You Suck At" 😛
