Cover & cook on low for 4-5 hours, drain. In a small saucepan, combine the corn starch & water until smooth. Topics ranged from how mutually intelligible Beijing and Hebei dialects of Mandarin are to whether history should be taught in schools. Being a nerd of the right age I had to ask Steve some questions that had been haunting me since 1978. I learned how to program by looking at SWEET16 code, the (build in) assembler/system monitor, Integer BASIC and DOS. Not only could he answer all but one question without pause, he also could describe how long it took, who else participated, what the other Steve did and most interesting to me he often gave an introspective view of how he felt while doing it, why it turned out the way it did and what he did not know but might have wished he had. If he ever needs a headshrinker he will be done in half a session. For example, he would describe this “flow” effect that we coders all know when working one something complex. Incasu, Steve was working on a different timing of the disk head read/write signal. Specificly he moved from a 4/8ms to a 4/8/12ms signal in order to cram in some 25% extra bits. He described, much better than I can reproduce, how he worked till he was too tired, getting it almost done. Than next day it would take very long to get back into the flow and he would work till he was too tired again, getting it almost done. Than one night he did what he had to do and worked till early mornings to finish it. He declared it the hardest code he ever did. He also compared performing a complex dance as a non dancer to writing Integer BASIC without relevant experience or training. In fact he disclosed he did not know, back than, that BASIC was a collection of incompatible dialects (like Mandarin). This entry is getting too long so I leave you with just one more gem. Steve wanted BASIC for the Apple because of the book “ 101 BASIC Computer Games“. He still seems oblivious of the enormous impact of this decision. He chose my first computer language for me and for most all my peer coders.Polish ace Maciej Janowski stormed to a sensational 16 points for Wroclaw as the PGE Ekstraliga champions held on for a 46-44 win at home to Gorzow on Sunday.ĭespite double world champion Bartosz Zmarzlik and Szymon Wozniak teaming up for a last-heat 4-2 for the visitors, Janowski grabbed the all-important second spot to seal the points for Wroclaw. Magic reeled off four wins and two second places for the Olympic Stadium outfit and was beaten only by Zmarzlik. Janowski was supported by 10 paid 11 points from Gleb Chugunov, while Tai Woffinden tallied eight paid nine and Dan Bewley scored six paid seven. Advances some ideas using Steve Wozniaks 6502 SWEET16 interpreted byte-code language as inspiration. Zmarzlik was Gorzow’s top performer on 14, with Wozniak notching nine paid 10, Martin Vaculik accruing eight paid nine and Anders Thomsen collecting seven paid eight. In the day’s other match, Speedway GP duo Robert Lambert and Jack Holder both piled up the points for Torun, but it was not enough to save them from a 47-43 loss at Leszno. While the benefits of this feature are not immediately obvious to most, some more hardcore users will most definitely benefit from them.Lambert raced to 13 points for the visitors, with Holder picking up 12 paid 13, Patryk Dudek scoring nine paid 11 and Pawel Przedpelski registering seven.įormer Polish champion Janusz Kolodziej raced to 14 for the Bulls as they took the win, with Piotr Pawlicki notching nine paid 10 and Aussie star Jason Doyle scoring three paid five.įor full details of the day’s results, scorers and the latest league table, visit (in Polish). For example, copying the path of the file ~/test.txt will give me these results for each of the available five options: Not only does it let you copy the original Unix path to the file, it also re-parses the file path into the format required for other media. This absolutely essential functionality has been missing in the Finder app since day one, and activating it will completely turn around your filesystem navigation experience.Īllow Path Copying from Context Menus allows you to do exactly what it says it does, with an added perk. Show Cut and Paste buttons in Context Menus adds these buttons to the menu you get when you right click over a file. This is purely aesthetic and has no effect on the functionality of the application. Use Narrow Tabs bar decreases the margin and padding of the tabs so that more of them fit into one TotalFinder window.
