Does this work for Bedrock as well as Java edition? I can get Java to work with infrared proxy but I’m not sure how to do Bedrock

I’ve used both of them, both professionally and personally, for some time.

TIL I’ve had Stockholm Syndrome since 1989

Mac OS should be a solid aluminum cube

I had a small store with one of these in the window and for what it does it’s very good

Looks like it’s shaped for an un-grounded electrical cord. Which is not something I’d want to use with a hedge trimmer.

Which is a great reason to at least familiarize yourself with it. It’s the lingua franca of text editors.

I tend to work on customer systems where I’m not allowed to install anything. I’ve yet to encounter one that doesn’t have vi installed, but I’ve seen a few without nano.

Looks more like a great awk than a penguin

The problem with “It’s self-documenting” is that there are inevitably questions about what it says, and there’s no additional resources to pull from.

Totally agree. And I’d argue that we don’t even need technical writers. Even if all people do is correct grammar and spelling mistakes it would be helpful, let alone actually writing docs. It’s one of the easiest ways non-technical folks can get involved with open source projects.

If you know your weakness is writing documentation, please hire a technical writer.

I’m really thankful that I had a great English teacher in high school, and that my degree required a technical writing class. Being able to write a coherent email got me further in my career than the technical stuff I learned in college.

It’s also why the humanities are important. Stemlords who brag about not doing literature classes write terrible documentation.

You have to assume some level of end user knowledge, otherwise every piece of documentation would start with “What a computer does” and “How to turn your computer on.”

I’ve found the best practice is to list your assumptions at the top of the article with links to more detailed instructions.

So I get two seats to myself? Sweet!

Gaeta was the one feeding the resistance information.

Before there were scripted alternatives large scale Windows deployments were all imaged because of the hours it took to set up a single machine swapping floppies and writing to spinning rust.

My first internship was patching a ton of Win 98 systems and it involved walking up and down rows of cubicles waiting for the next step of the installation to get done and hit a couple keys

When I was a kid some family friends had put an air-moving fan in the floor from the basement to the first floor. On hot summer days it would pull the cool air from the basement, and in the winter it would circulate the air from near their woodstove in the basement to the upstairs.

Maybe that would help? Wiring would be the hardest bit to figure out. After that it’s just cutting a hole in the floor.

If I can’t type the program into my TRS-80 from a computer magazine I don’t trust it.
