iPods. I have several friends who have, within the last year, sourced out classic iPods for personal use - I personally find my first-gen iPod shuffle to be one of the most useful digital devices in my collection.

Next - old game consoles. My Nintendo DS and Sega Saturn consistently get the most use out of any console I've ever had, to the point where I've stopped buying new consoles. Best part - I turn it on, pop in the game, no waiting for updates. It's amazing. Not to mention top-notch games like Animal Crossing: Wild World, Scribblenauts, New Super Mario Bros, Sonic Rush, Metroid Prime: Hunters, Mario Kart DS, Panzer Dragoon, NiGHTS Into Dreams, Street Fighter II Alpha (which I am constantly playing with friends) - the list goes on and on.

I could turn on my Dreamcast if I wanted to bask in Crazy Taxi, Skies of Arcadia, Jet Grind Radio, etc...but there's enough great games for these systems alone I haven't played that it makes it completely irrelevant to buy a new system.

Because in 20 years since I bought my Dreamcast I have still yet to siphon all the value out of it I can get.

Since it's open source, it sounds like companies who get 30% of their money from IE users should start giving enough back in time and money that Bootstrap does what they need. That, or look up parables on gift horses and little red hens.
Hi, from Docker here, yes that should have been done before, but the previous work was incomplete, we have started working on it again.

Not really. Slack pushed into enterprise quickly.
What communities are there still around? I use to play on Royston Vasey but it was over a decade ago and I don't recognise anyone left - I popped into the IRC channel when my dad died late last year as he also used to play tfc and even made their website back in the day. I don't think there was anyone left who remembered him - pretty sad (the site is still up and has his alias http://www.roystonvasey.org.uk/, I'm surprised no one questions 'who was this milky guy?').
All 4 presidents had violent conflicts in the middle east, and Iraq in particular. In fact, the "WMD" stuff started with Clinton (though not nukes).

I'm no where near a Trump supporter, and I'm very disappointed with the Democratic party seeming to fail in being able beat him in elections.

Of course, I've only ever voted third party presidential candidates.
But these are related, aren't they? Not trying to be pedantic or argumentative at all, just better understanding (for myself at least). Being kernel based means it cannot depend on external/3rd party libraries, which does reduce the attack surface. Of course user-land library can also be written with no other library dependencies, but I think kernel based forces this as a requirement, doesn't it (I don't know for sure, please correct me if I'm wrong)?
subpoenaed server logs can provide evidence of access during a relevant time period. it's not sufficient by itself, but provides some basis.

We are expecting to have to have some platform specific extension mechanism for some things eventually, but yes I think some things can be removed too.
It's an interesting question. And if the answer is no, I guess the logical conclusion is that internal tools make very little difference to the success of consumer product companies.

That doesn't seem like an intuitive conclusion, but it's a hard circle to square. As someone who mostly builds internal tools (though in a very different context), it certainly seems like good systems are an Archimedean lever that acts as a force multiplier across the entire org. Yet, if good internal tooling was important, you think at least one company would have been able to achieve success partially on this basis.

The consumer product industry is extremely competitive, so the counter-hypothesis of entrenched sclerotic incumbents refusing to pick up $20 bills off the sidewalk doesn't really seem likely.
Landlords are essentially mini monopolies.

They make money by monopolizing a piece of land, with the backing of the state, and then letting others use that land.

Even capitalists should be against them on the basis of a state backed monopoly alone.

> consumers need to give their consent for a credit check

How is that relevant? Consumers don't have a choice in the matter; consent is mandatory because a place to live is a fundamental need.

Nobody gives consent for the data to be collected.

Then when you need a place to live, you have no choice but to agree to a background check using that data because virtually all landlords require it.

Terrible things happen to people all the time that are difficult to predict. Yet the legal system holds them accountable for the contracts they are involved in.

This needs to be equally true with large corporations, otherwise contracts lose meaning.
We gather those directly from the team ourselves. You are correct though. The point of the employee feedback is not to be negative, it is to highlight what the company is doing right in the words of individual team members.

This is like a dating profile. You don't write a dating profile to explain why they shouldn't date you :), you show them what you are about and what you doing well at.

We want to give job seekers this info so they filter and find companies that might be a match for them. And, make it easy to get that first date so they can see if this company is a good match for them or not.
Missing in action? Hardly. He warned of the pandemic long before Trump. He has a decisive lead against Sanders, and the news has focused on another small topic, recently, so maybe that's why you haven't heard so little about that.

Not viable? Biden beats Trump in every poll. By a larger margin than Hillary Clinton. Trump has no prayer of winning unless there is a major voter turnout depression. It is a clear-cut requirement for his reelection, just as it was last time, when he eeked out a college victory win against a much more competent candidate.
I think it all comes down to having an understanding of your organization’s persistent data.

You need to have a culture where people are allowed to become familiar with what is in their files and databases, and make sure they pass that knowledge on to others. Ideally in writing, but make sure it happens.

Too many developers assign more meaning to this year’s code than is really justified.
Not sure what you're saying, I can run ARM and regular AMD platform containers via docker compose without problems (other than I have to build ARM using buildx).
Step 1 is to stop all this platform censorship, especially of clearly crackpot theories.

Only censor people who are clearly proposing people harm others. Such as Spike Lee posting a couple's address on Twitter during the Zimmerman trial. Or the social media mobs trying to ruin the lives of those they disagree with.
You're assuming that transactions require locks. That's not necessarily the case with MVCC and SERIALIZABLE semantics, but you may have to retry the transaction (from scratch) if it fails. This looks a lot like what you'd get if you were using locks.

Somewhere, though, there will be locks, indeed. Pushing the locking to the edges of the system helps keep the core composable. There's no panacea, of course.

Also, an RDBMS can order locks because once you've decided what INSERTs/UPDATEs/DELETEs you're doing, they can be sorted and run in a different order than they were requested (after all, if the transaction is atomic, then the internal order doesn't matter).

You can absolutely build all of that (transactions, lock ordering, ...) in any OOP (or FP or other) language of your choice. But that's essentially recreating part of an RDBS -- if you're after reuse, just use an RDBMS so you don't have to recreate its functionality. Using an RDBMS w/o an ORM helps you avoid all the issues raised by TFA. Further, using an EAV design gives you many benfits as outlined in TFA and elsewhere in the commentary here and on the web.
Maybe that needs clarification.

I don't think anything about this was deliberate. But incidental demonstration is still demonstration.
That's a great idea! Especially now that students are alone and off campus, the community aspect has become even more important.

Hrm. Wasn't everyone saying a few years ago that "freedom to do X isn't freedom from consequences for doing X"? How is this situation any different?

If you don't pay your rent, that's fine. Plenty of jurisdictions have suspended rent payments. But that you didn't pay your rent is a true fact. You either did or you didn't. It's part of history. It's a feature of objective reality. You can't stop people from remembering true facts and talking about them. You don't make a better world by suppressing information.

You can, it's called practicing. You are just limited by your resources and imagination. Playing with or against others accelerates your improvement curve.

Libretro Cores Progress Report – April 2, 2020
The big problem here is that it will be hidden. If I get a tenant applying this fall, and I see on their credit report a "missed April rent" mark, I'm going to ignore it for obvious reasons.

But if I get their report, it will just say "high risk" but won't tell me why, and I'll have no way of knowing it was because of missing rent in April.
No, I just checked your profile. Pity that there are so few followers, you got some interesting links there. It's crazy how everything is in the open, but almost everyone acts like it does not exist (not only with corona, but also in general). Keep it up, brother!
which may make sense for sites that have a 2% ie11 userbase (which may even be the case for bootstrap project sites as the user base hitting those sites are many technical users!), however sites in-the-wild have dramatically different user bases to support I manage many brands marketing sites for instance and we see low single digit % ie11 users all the way up to 40% userbases depending on the specific audiences for those sites.

If the bootstrap team is looking at their (or even average) ie11 %'s to determine if they should drop support they are really making that decision blind. It would instantly take bootstrap from a viable framework on many sites to a deal breaker.

There really isn't any such service. The purpose of state-backed absentee title is to enable sustained profits in excess of cost.
I’m reasonably sure this is illegal in the US (in Virginia at least.) You’re required to process rental applications in the order you receive them and can only reject them for certain reasons (failing a credit check for example.) Unless a credit company starts using this it means very little here.
Then let's make it practical.

Name one news source which you consider to have "a purely objective stance on topics".

Because I can't think of a single one.

And I would rather have one whose biases are worn on the sleeve, than shrouded in a false disguise of neutral objectivity.

Even if we restrict ourselves to mathematics, consider Georg Cantor, who demonstrated the existences of multiple types of infinities. Quoting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Cantor :

] Cantor's theory of transfinite numbers was originally regarded as so counter-intuitive – even shocking – that it encountered resistance from mathematical contemporaries such as Leopold Kronecker and Henri Poincaré and later from Hermann Weyl and L. E. J. Brouwer, while Ludwig Wittgenstein raised philosophical objections. Cantor, a devout Lutheran, believed the theory had been communicated to him by God. Some Christian theologians (particularly neo-Scholastics) saw Cantor's work as a challenge to the uniqueness of the absolute infinity in the nature of God – on one occasion equating the theory of transfinite numbers with pantheism – a proposition that Cantor vigorously rejected.

] The objections to Cantor's work were occasionally fierce: Leopold Kronecker's public opposition and personal attacks included describing Cantor as a "scientific charlatan", a "renegade" and a "corrupter of youth". .... Writing decades after Cantor's death, Wittgenstein lamented that mathematics is "ridden through and through with the pernicious idioms of set theory", which he dismissed as "utter nonsense" that is "laughable" and "wrong".

Which of these observations were purely objective, and in the 1800s, how would you be able to tell?

> in place of objective observation

The choice of what to observe and what to report is based on views of what is important, so therefore subject to subjective bias. You cannot have one without the other.
Awesome. Any word on whether this also applies to Windows? (Asking for a company-issued notebook.)

Anyone who calls Sanders more viable than Trump is not interested in a factual discussion.

You might like Sanders more than Biden, you might like his politics more. But you aren't entitled to your own facts, and the facts are that Biden has a decisive lead that is almost impossible to catch up. Biden beats Trump in polls by a much larger margin than Sanders. Sanders was not able to motivate a larger voting turnout in the primary elections. There is no basis to call Sanders more viable.
Is your system running Wayland? I recall OBS screenshare wasn’t compatible with Wayland at all. I had to log out and log in using the X11 fallback to get it to work. It’s a rather unfortunate condition that past tutorials say “just do XYZ and it works” but they quietly assumed X11.

WeWork may not account for a huge fraction of the entire US CRE market, but I’m sure there are office landlords with significant exposure.

Moving something from userland to the kernel is not generally understood to be attack-surface-minimizing. One of the goals of attack-surface-minimizing designs, like privilege separation, are to get as much out of the kernel (or out of privileged processes) as possible.

Hosting WireGuard in-kernel is a performance and compatibility strategy. Being hosted in kernel makes WireGuard higher-risk, which Jason mitigates with other software security tactics, like a simple design that can be implemented without dynamic allocation, and a tiny codebase.

Speaking of the version control. You are right: VC is indispensable tool when looking at an old (hm "mature") code base, assuming the said code base has not been converted from CVS or SVN, with commit comments like "merged from branch XX".

I still think the value and importance of recording every last feature/functionality is underestimated in the industry. Granted, the tools to support this idea are largely missing - the requirement tracking must be integrated into VC and the workflow, it should have powerful search and pattern matching (this change was due to REQ#, also relevant REQ#, REQ#, REQ#...)

Imagine you have a controlled and non-intrusive way to document all the features. What value does it add?

1. Testing. A feature set automatically generates the skeleton of a test plan. Test cases that are missing from the feature list get added to said feature list.

2. Onboarding. The feature list is a great place to study for a new team member.

3. Development. Given the pattern matching, the feature list might suggest related areas where a change might have unexpected impact - in addition to the usual code inspection tools, of course. The code answers the question of how, the requirements answer the question of why.

4. Maintnance. The requirements change. Assumptions and design decisions change with time. If you don't have a record of those, you have no idea why this code does what it does.

P.S. and I fully agree with what you said for other points.
Something should be done, but trying to fix it on an individual level won't work -- you have to fix the way the system operates so agency isn't something that's reserved for a small subset of the wealthiest individuals in society. UBI would go a long way towards this, I think.

I just want to be in charge of my own life, but as long as I have to show up at the same place from 9-5, five days a week, I really don't have that ability. My life exists solely to serve my masters. Yes, I can choose which master to serve, but ultimately I am not free to do with my life what I please.

If you know anyone in California who might be affected by this company please let them know to file a complaint against Naborly. They apparently have no idea what the laws here are, and they are also most likely in violation of numerous other United States credit reporting laws.

Edit: Their Privacy Policy says nothing about California, and it looks like they're most likely already in violation of California's CCPA.

Edit 2: Can't find them registered anywhere in the US as a credit reporting agency. I guess YC is now funding companies flagrantly violating US law.

I have a few burnt CDs from the early 2000s (found them when my dad passed late last year and I had to clear out his place) full of TFC maps.

There might be an overlap with what you have. I could see what I have and release it out there if others will find it useful.

I remember with skulltag/doom there was an auto-wad downloader that would find the map for you if you didn't have it. I wonder if there is a want for something similar or a searchable database for all of these old maps for twenty year old game mods.

Perhaps 99% of people are content with fornite/etc. and don't want to bother spinning up old games no one cares about.

I really don't understand the obsession with Trump (from both sides).

It's not like he is a pivotal make it or break it for the Western world. He'll be gone in 4 or 5 years max and can only do so much damage (or good depending on how you look at it). He hasn't ended the world nor saved the world in the time he has held the office. Not that much has really changed fundamentally.

There are more powerful forces for good and evil then one talking guy in a suit.
What was the true essence of the original Atari? How can this be revived in a contemporary manner?

Here is my take on it:

- Gameplay was superior to other offerings and compared to other entertainment of the day exciting enough to draw an audience.

- It was niche. Yes, a niche in a growing field: "the digital revolution" if you will, but a niche.

- Competitive. Highscores were a zeriou$ thing in the arcardes.

I would say, therefore, the //new Atari// has to be a esports league, the best, which produces it's own games. Focus on a few but well-balanced games. Focus on 1-2 types of sports. "Space Invaders", "Pac Man" and a "3D" thing, to speak in old-Atari terms. Quality. Like StarCraft.

Sell a special .MOD to "professional" players. Have exclusive deals with YouTubers who do the "broadcasting". Have the league finals in Las Vegas with many exciting things!
