I was doing some ST retrocomputing last night, and GEM was just great, so much cleaner and simpler than modern GUIs.

print( ["even", "odd"][num % 2] )

If you need to avoid evaluating the wrong branch:

print( [lambda: "even", lambda: "odd"][num % 2]() )

I only use nerdtree, and bind some scripts to F-keys. Haven’t updated in a couple years, just works.

Other way around. You punched the edge to make it writeable (or double-punched to write on the back side, if you were brave). Cover it to make it read-only. The 3.5" sliders were the same mechanism, open was write, closed was read-only.

If you write to a text (as opposed to binary) stream, \n produces \n or \r\n (or \r if old enough) depending on platform just fine.

Nobody should be using C++ anyway, but plenty of languages have silly system newline constants, which do nothing useful.

I wonder if he Dremels the case open and explodes the power supply. (no, I don’t click his links)

Waterfall: Boeing/ULA does this. Their rockets cost $4B per launch, don’t work, strand astronauts. Maybe the next repair/test cycle, if management’s dumb enough to keep paying them.

Agile at least launches something.
