MS published all of that in some "MSDN Library Archive" set, that came in two big blue CD binders. I made a point of keeping that one. This is not quite it, but very similar.
(actually I just found my copy of the disc that had the cover at the link above).
I remember also making a point of keeping the very first MSDN disc set. Grand total of 14 CDs, if I'm not mistaken. Then it quickly ballooned to hundreds of discs.

I had forgotten about Smalltalk, heard of it many years ago but, like others, didn't do anything with it.
Downloaded Squeak, already have a germ of an app that I might try.

I knew some developers who used SmallTalk about twenty years ago.
Never saw it myself.

Used APL for some simulation stuff (way) back in the day.

Still watching the video, but 100% agree with the concepts. I've been a long time advocate of saying you can achieve some OOP (as we've some to understand it) in C.
Some n00bs will say no you can't, but you can... just not with "classes" but with the principles of OOP. Of course not everything that C++ does and it's more theory/abstractions/conventions than something tangible. But, you can still get some of those principles across... if you understand the principles and don't just memorize syntax.
I'd elaborate on it, but I don't wanna.  Don't have the juice for another "argument" online. Privately I would though.

Nice one!

I have looked at these before and could never figure them out. I am looking at these last few that are posted and I still cannot figure it out.
Can you explain, for us simple minded country bumpkins, how “pinch fitting” becomes “appropriate”?
Maybe I need to work on my vocabulary

This clue (and my previous one) are what is called "double definition".
Two definitions of homonyms (words spelled the same but maybe with different meanings).
So in this case, pinch >> steal >> appropriate (verb) and
fitting >> suitable >> appropriate (adj).
There are many other forms of cryptic clues, involving things like anagrams and other trickery.

After unpleasant experience win "new and improved" version of Ubuntu, I am back "experimenting" with Linux / Ubuntu recovery mode.
So far I have this link
Mastering Recovery and Rescue Mode in Ubuntu | FOSS Linux[^]
It tells nothing new, and I am looking for a resource actually describing what Linux does when in "recovery mode". Especially when the process stops and there in no instruction on how to proceed / restart.
Most of the time I end with "three fingers salute" and it generally reboots and I can start over.
I have some shots of the failures, unfortunately I have no clue how to post them here.
I am familiar using dmesg and wondering if there is way to do same when the "recovery mode" is abandoned using reboot.
Thanks for reading.
