YouTube has diversified its content separating out YouTube Shorts and YouTube Music.
The main YouTube viewing experience has a few advantages over the other two experiences:
All below links have the same ID, but the ones with checkmarks can use all the above features whereas the ones with crosses cannot.

Not my first BASIC (which was on calculators: The calculators that got me into programming (via: calculators : Algorithms for the masses – julian m bucknall)), but the first BASIC on a machine with a real keyboard was Applesoft BASIC on an Apple II:

Many Markdown documents on GitHub have three dashes (---) at the top (and rendered a horizontal table displays).
I didn’t know this markdown construct, and it appears to be GitHub specific: it is a way to render YAML metadata (for instance used while blogging).
So I searched for [Wayback/Archive] three dashes table markdown – Google Search and found [Wayback/Archive] Viewing YAML Metadata in your Documents | The GitHub Blog.
Well, actually… Read the rest of this entry »

Besides the Delphi Praxis servers (the [Wayback/Archive] German one has existed for what seems eternity, the [Wayback/Archive] English one took over the Google Plus Delphi group – see Google is sunsetting Google+ by August 2019; DelphiPraxis might start English forums and have RSS – and de-facto the dead Embarcadero forums as the old newsgroup servers went dead, and the new ones weren’t known for their high up-time [Wayback/Archive] community.embarcadero.com’s forums – General Help – Delphi-PRAXiS [en]), nowadays – with the shortened attention span of many people – Discord has a few Delphi servers as well:
They are chat based, and suffer from messages and threads disappearing, just like the Delphi newsgroups and forums suffered from, and archiving content can be difficult or impossible (not just because of the Wayback Machine being down).

Since archiving Tweets has become so much harder over time, and Threadreaderapp not having the complete thread either, here are some links for your enjoyment:
Then some direct links that stitch most of the thread together on Twitter itself:

Lot’s of interesting tech blogs: [Wayback/Archive] Florian Haas on Twitter: “Let’s do something we should do every once in a while: if you have a personal web site with an RSS or Atom feed, drop it in the replies so people can add it to their feed aggregator. Signal boosts appreciated.”

About 2 years after Google switched every Google Hangouts user over to Google Chat, I still wonder about [Wayback/Archive] Will the new Google Chat PWA for Chrome ever have system tray support? : gsuite:
Chrome _right now_ can be sustained as a background process with the Chrome-ball in the system tray. This is the vehicle with which Hangouts remains open at all time, so why not Chat, too?
I’m left with no option but to have Chat running on a mobile device so I have always on access. Perhaps this is the angle. I nunno.
Your support page link I’ve seen already and it doesn’t answer the Why question.
It is absolutely a bizzarotown implementation.

Some work to do replacing dead IETF RFC and draft links in my blog posts.
From the accepted answer on [Wayback/Archive.is] Links to HTML versions of RFC’s need to move from “tools” to “datatracker” – Meta Stack Exchange:
[http/https]://tools.ietf.org/html/[rfc/RFC]becamehttps://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfcnetwork-wide[http/https]://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-becamehttps://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft->Both of these should conform to the reply we received from IETF.

I quote the last tweets in the series starting with [Wayback/Archive] Jack Rhysider on Twitter: “If you’re in IT, I highly encourage you to write a blog. Here are 17 reasons why you should be blogging. 🧵👇”
1…17.
So to recap. By blogging you will become a better writer and communicator, learn the concepts better, open new opportunities, have a fantastic notebook for self reference, maybe make money, become appreciated by more people, and show off your IT skills.
So how do you get started? Try these: WordPress, Jekyll, Ghost, Hugo, Medium, Wix, Squarespace. I really don’t care what you use. Just jump in and start blogging. You can always move everything to a different place later. Good luck and I hope to see some new bloggers from this.
and a few ones that came up in the responses:
