Niklaus Wirth, the inventor of the Pascal programming language, author of "Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs", and more, passed away on January 1. Wirth's law, named after him, is an adage which states that software gets slower more rapidly than hardware gets faster. Just found this in my office closet. Got it at the Ottawa PC Users Group launch party for MS DOS 6.

@shawnhooper I remember using DoubleSpace. Storage was so expensive back then. But ISTR it got some pretty bad press because of some high-profile data corruption bugs? I installed the ActivityPub plugin on my #WordPress blog, and now if you follow https://shawnhooper.ca/author/shooper you'll get a toot when I write a new #blog post. Here's the plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/ It also adds a screen in wp-admin so you can see who's following you from the Fediverse. (If you follow me, I blog infrequently, but about #PHP, #Laravel, #WordPress, or miscellaneous tech subjects).

@shawnhooper I totally forgot about that Followers list. I'm not sure if it's entirely accurate. On my multi-site, my two blogs both show the same 30 followers! @shawnhooper can you follow and read other people using this plugin, cand respond to them? |
