Still sold out?

Later models were quite interesting as well - the last one was a PowerPC workstation with an s390 board.

Yes, but please remember you specify the common parts only once for the agent. From there, it’ll base its actions on all the instructions you kept on their configuration.

The fact it could have worked probably weighted in the decision to sponsor the coup and the regime that destroyed its legacy.

A real shame.

The amount of effort spent and blood spilled to make anything that even remotely smells like socialism fail is one of the greater tragedies of the 20th century.

Much more effort and much more blood would have been spilled if socialism ever "succeeded".

Large endeavours require some level of “megachurchness”. Linux back then was tiny in comparison with what it is today. So was Python. Nowadays we have much larger projects that encompass a much larger space than we had in the 1990s. You can’t make things consistent at these sizes without some governance in place.

There are still a lot of space for projects without much structure- if you have NSA codenames that aren’t public yet (and you are not subject to US laws) you can contribute with the nsaname tool and have cool names for your servers and containers. If you want to help adding glyphs to my 3278 font, you can. You can do that to millions of small projects that are small enough to not require much structure.

There’s also the risk someone very loud decides to put you in a box you don’t belong in. Eventually you are able to demonstrate it, but, in the meantime, you need to deal with the consequences.

I had a typewriter with this font. Thanks for the pointer.

This is awesome. Combine it with selectric-mode.

The Quaderno was a gorgeous little machine. I had the XT one, but later a 386 came out. I wish I had bought it from the company when I left.

My favorite is the M-20 though. Chunky and powerful.
