These days coding for retro computer system is a recreational and learning activity. But sometimes it's essential for maintaining mission critical legacy software, like in this case of writing a new x86 C compiler for Windows CE.

Hey #believeinfilm friends,
The easiest way to start developing film at home is C-41.
Today, I'm publishing my completely rewritten guide for colour-negative film development, it's now better than ever:
https://www.analog.cafe/r/developing-colour-film-as-an-absolute-beginner-n3q4
The guide includes a complete shopping list, and the entire process, from mixing the chemicals to scanning and archiving the film. Plus 10 pro tips.
Dare I say, it may be the best of its kind on the internet!

🪲 An Abridged History of Safari Showstoppers
TL;DR: iOS Safari is more than an inconvenience for developers, it's the fundamental reason interoperability has been stymied in mobile ecosystems; frequent showstopping bugs, a large patch gap, and lack of competing engines ensures the web is not a credible competitor to native. Here are the receipts to prove it.
10 yrs of Safari showstopper bugs.

RTO or GTFO? Last week, Amazon announced that starting in 2025, all employees will be in a physical office 5 days a week. While putatively to strengthen culture (as "the world's largest startup"), this is proving unpopular with many. Will other companies follow suit? On today's episode, @ahl and I are going to talk about remote work, RTO mandates -- and the physicality of both innovation and organization. Join us and share your perspective, 5p Pacific!

My wife and I have been going to the gym together a few times a week for a little over a month now.
I'm reluctant to report the rumors are true: it actually really does help. My mental health and general outlook are both the best they've been in a very long time. I feel completely different than I did a month or two ago.
Not all mental health is related to physical health, but if one suffers when the other's neglected, that might be a good signal to follow.

I have said this several times but it bears repeating now:
A very large portion of the Fediverse values tone over substance. "Politeness" and "civility" over what people are actually saying.
This leads to a constant background noise of just rancid replies that are all phrased in a superficially "nice" tone.
Justified anger and non-diplomatic push-back however is heavily policed and dismissed as "bad habits" brought over from elsewhere.
Unless this fundamentally changes, it will never be a place that's safe for marginalized people who have to stand up for themselves and face a constant stream of condescension, dismissiveness, and outright hostility.
A lot of the time it absolutely does live up to its reputation as a place where middle aged white cis men tell you how your perspective and expertise don't matter, and where you better watch your mouth when talking back to them.

This thought popped into my head after watching a TikTok where a creator posed the question "which nepo baby deserves their fame?" and I immediately said "none."
There is no level of talent deserving of generational opportunity in a system built on exclusion.
And yeah, actually, I'm a blast at parties. Lol

Yes, and conversely, how many of the fabulously wealthy attribute that wealth to talent rather than luck (often luck in choosing your parents!)
