When we look at the compatibility story of Unix, it doesn't hold up well at all except as a ship-of-Theseus exercise. The original system design gradually became usurped by GNU tools, Linux kernels, and X11 window management. Sometimes you might be able to compile old stuff, but guess what, the C standard changed too. And every one of those things is in turn being challenged - "rewrite it in Rust" has produced new, similar, sometimes compatible but still different programs from the original inspirations. sysvinit was replaced with systemd. X11 became Xorg plus various extensions. Linux was eschewed as the kernel for OSX decades ago, and it's typical for software to need an "OSX build".

There is old Unix software that can run on modern Unixes, but it depends heavily on not doing much I/O. Once you introduce an I/O requirement, failure is imminent - the protocols change, hardware gets accessed with a new method. You end up needing some kind of emulation. The same was basically true of DOS apps running natively on Windows - it would probably run your old Lotus 1-2-3 or WordPerfect in a window, but not games. Windows itself has had plenty of API churn(albeit with an unusually strong compatibility story), but a large share of new Windows apps are actually Electron wrappers.

The glide slope theory isn't perfect because the life cycles do seem to depend on what you look at specifically, and there may have been a slowing of the curve with greater reliance on open-source and Internet technology. However it does seem to be predictable in describing the limits of software platform economics.
It is probably limited by heating of the diverter section where there's a magnetic x-point and plasma escape really tests the heat limits of materials. One of EAST's (and many Tokomak reactor's) main objectives is testing diverter materials and shapes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divertor
What I don't understand is why brands throw so much money at very young influencers.

Are they specifically targeting young rich kids who spend big on products/merch?

New report details Beijing’s foreign influence operations in Canada
At least where I am, the HOA exists to serve the developer until X% of the land is built and sold. Until that time, the developer has <= 51% of the voting rights and the board is run by a third party. There is literally no way to vote for or against anything that isn't in the sole interest of the developer. The land deed restrictions are time based, so even when you finally can take over the board, you can't amend the restrictions without a majority vote of homeowners, not just people willing to vote. Bylaws are almost impossible to change in large communities and it's just as impossible to oust the third party from the board, for the same reasons

For what's it's worth, these are POAs until the developer has sold off most of the land. After that point, you can establish an HOA.

No, that was it. There were alternative acronyms of course, like WAMP (Windows, etc.) or LAPP (incorporating Postgres as you mentioned).

A few thoughts came to mind while reading this. Most obviously ChromeOS and less so Microsoft RT/UWP.

But the thing that this seems most like to me is HotJava where you can have an entirely new application execution environment that is net-native, programmable, and efficient. This could succeed where Sun (the network is the computer) and Java (write once, run everywhere) did not with WASM instead of Jvm bytecode.

There were similar efforts in the Chinese fan-translators community, and Ace Attorney is distinguished by the huge amount of texts, not to mention the peculiar culture references that are borderline untranslatable. The time for grassroot game translations may have peaked with the introduction of official remasters in Chinese and the increasing barriers in dumping and reverse-engineering ROMs, but the contributors deserve to be celebrated for their creativeness and hardwork. They are practicing online collaborations before the era of online collaboration.
Love the article. I think about this in terms of SEO. We have our niches. If we succeed in our niches, we expand the likelihood our content will rank highly for those (iudually rare) queries for people in our community.

As such, I’ve always considered inbound links the best outcomes for a blog. It relates to things the author mentions: connections to opportunities for podcasts, clients etc. It helps you understand whether your stuff seen as interesting and authoritative for its niche? Are you building and defining the niche? Are you defining new ways of talking about your field?

The downside is inbound links can be a very long, trailing metric that takes months or years to materialize.

You can't do that kind of thing with a will. If we ban that for wills, it seems equally proper to ban it for pieces of property.

The way I think of it is that democracy is a very expensive form of governance. Having legal protections and representation for all members of society is great, but it is also a luxury that allows various bad actors and interest groups to clog up the entire system for their personal gain. And the only way to afford this political luxury is to ensure that the economic vibrancy of an open system produces enough wealth to patch up what gets bled away by democracy's inherent costs. And if that is not enough, to have an external source of wealth to subsidize this continuous bleeding. Because if democracy fails to produce enough wealth and distribute it to enough people, then people quickly turn to authoritarians who claim they have all the answers.

Under these assumptions, the burgeoning of democracies in the 1990s might be due to indirect economic subsidies from the US. And the reason why the US could be a democracy is because the American continent, with other resource claimants eliminated by disease and war, could generate enough wealth to subsidize a messy but democratic system of governance that otherwise might have been overrun by more powerful authoritarian neighbors if it had been born on the Eurasian continent.
Speaking from personal experience, just use bigint... If you aren't dealing with billions of rows, the size difference isn't that big a deal, and if you are dealing with billions of rows, the int -> bigint migration is definitely not "relatively easy".

One of the most memorable anecdotes of my professional career is a production environment going down because we hit maxint on an important (and busy) table. The dirty hack we used to get the site back up (hint: int is _signed_), and the weeks it took to plan, test, and execute the migration.
What a horrible life these kids have. They don't realise it. Their influencing value is inversely proportional to their rise in numbers. If everyone becomes and influencer, who'll they influence. And why does anyone need influencing. It's just advertising by reinvented. Most of it is just showing skin.
Built my entire ham shack from Heathkit's as a teenager. Still have an SB-101 transceiver and SB-200 linear amplifier in storage. They brought me so many great memories I can't bear to part from them.

A team based in Arizona tried to relaunch Heathkit a few years ago. It included several Heathkit veterans and they even talked about possibly manufacturing them in the Benton Harbor area. Lots of blog posts and social media but I'm not sure if they ever released any products. Does anyone know?
Supply and demand.

Everyone has a capable smart phone now. This removes the middle market for cameras, and only the pro/prosumer high end cameras which adds all sorts of bells and whistles.

Linking unfounded beliefs to genetic dopamine availability
If you started from 0 and could learn only one technology, what would you learn?
In the late 1970’s, at the dawn of genetic engineering, Heathkit high-voltage regulated power supplies, available for less than $50 I believe, were widely used for nucleic acid gel electrophoresis. They worked great, and were 1/4 the cost of purpose-built supplies from Biorad and other biotechnology manufacturers (which were much cheaper than HP power supplies). Even today, working models go for more than $200 on eBay.

I understand what you are trying to say, but I don't think it is the correct interpretation of Ayn Rand. There is no power fantasy. She is quite adamant that nobody should ever try to hold power over another individual. Again, it is the antagonists who are trying to manipulate the wills of others and hold power over other people. The group of friends helps by exchanging money for good and services. This is another theme. The protagonists ask only for fair compensation for their efforts, not favors. The antagonists try to replace this system with a group dynamic where 'who you know' and 'who can do what favor for who' replaces business. To Ayn Rand this is very unhealthy and leads to destruction. If a people have to mooch to build a social safety net, and loot to maintain infrastructure, then they are villains.
This has got to be one of the killer features of tmux.
That can be a better idea. (Unfortunately the HTML file input in any web browser that I have tried does not allow the user to change the file name to a different name than the local file name. This ought to be fixed.)

When it asks the user for a file, can also specify the wanted access: read, write, read+seek, or read+write+seek. Requested format can also be specified, but the user should be allowed to ignore the requested format if wanted and instead specify an arbitrary file. For writes, estimated file size can also be specified as a hint, which can also be ignored. Then the user can type in a file name, or for the non-seeking modes, a pipe is also possible. For write non-seeking, the user can specify append or overwrite. For seekable files, a pipe is not valid. For writing to files, the user can also optionally specify the maximum size that the file is allowed to have.
It's also easy to argue that the car owner had no reason to think it was law enforcement that put it there and not a private investigator or a stalker.
This. They have the strength of law up to the point where they conflict with local laws and they are rarely optional. I moved to a property whose restrictions expired 20 years ago and only one home owner wants an HOA. The rest of us just ignore his letters. The land is unrestricted, we have mineral rightS and when the neighbor's cows got out and pooped in my lawn, we laughed about.
It's the ultimate in product placement. "Someone who looks just like how I want to look is using product X. I need to use my money (or my parent's money) to buy product X so all of the everyone will like me." It's an absolute no brainer for them to do this. It makes more sense to me than targeted advertising from FB/G/etc. These people have subscribers that voluntarily decided to follow them, and are guaranteed eyeballs on anything/everything they post.
Plus, it's way better to generate a UUID in the app server and send it to the server as a string. The reason is that you can deal with the id as a plain string and don't have to deal with a non-standard datatype in your app.
Actually, for what most colleges charge, they should provide free clubs for alumni?

Although, the thought of my pompous college mates is not a memory I want to think about today though.

I went to a state school. I honestly thought my local community college did a much better job, but graduated anyways. I went to a professional school, and kinda thought the same--a whole lot of wasted time.

I will never forget our last party though. Everyone graduated with their degree. We were at this party, and the atmosphere was different. I couldn't figure it out until years later though.

My date that night was a stunning, innocent, affable, young lady. I recall guys at the party making a bee line to her. The ladies at the party gave me the look. A acquaintance came up to me, and said, "She's very young Danielll?". She was 20?

Anyway, everyone kinda of changed. They talked different. They talked like they did something wonderful by graduating. They were posing, instead of standing? The biggest poser had a job at Open Space. He thought he hit the lottery. That night he should have worn an ascot. Never talked to him again.

I remember thinking this is it? Well it's better than working full time. Hiding in school was something I adored, but knew I was no different than anyone else. In all reality, I felt guilty. The worse day in school was better than any day at my part time jobs. The four years were fun.

On the way home, Michelle said, "I've never felt so weird at a party." I had no idea what she was getting at other than being the worst party I have been to. She then said she felt like she didn't fit in.

I told her, "I don't fit in with those people. College was a joke for the most part." I couldn't believe the way people changed. I had a steady girlfriend who went to UCD. She was a different person upon graduating. Just so full of herself? I wasn't the greatest boyfriend either, by dating someone else, but I was young, and we both knew our relationship was baked years earlier.

End of story, but reminded of my young pompous classmates upon graduation.

Would I go to a alumni club after graduation--hell no, but colleges should provide them. I am a wacko, and despised networking, and schmoozing, but my classmates would be at the club. It would be a great selling point for colleges too?

(I had a premed/business education from a state school. I guess it's a lot different than going to an Ivy League school? I honestly remember eight classes maybe, that I felt were worth the time. My rambling post is about the obnoxious levels of self accomplishment so many young grads have.)
When looking up resources on high school level mathematics, it appears that fully half of the content is paywalled.

This is where the race to the emotional rock bottom starts. What if those influencers become irrelevant in 10 years time and are replaced by another generation?

The key here is to expand to other ventures. The ones who stay on the same platform for years will gradually become irrelevant.

> Work, life, and social structure is extremely unfair

It's always going to be unfair. Attempts to fix it always result in some other unfairness.

The real thing that works is freedom, i.e. not having the law artificially holding you back. Instead of being consumed by envy of others, you can make your own life better.
You need to turn on useGETForHashedQueries. I don't know why it's not the default. Combine that with the @cacheControl directive for automatic cache-control headers.
I have trouble believing that this is the fault of the techie lobby, considering that said lobby otherwise has no meaningful accomplishments under its belt. My explanation would be that the web is massively successful because it enables user to navigate safely without being in danger of leaking their files. If a user isn't willing to install an app to do a task, it is precisely because they fear that such an app will be able to do unknown damage to their computer. Allowing the same thing of web apps eliminates their advantage and endangers users.
Paying it forward doesn't usually have a price tag associated with it. This seems extremely scummy. What is Plato providing for the money they are providing? A booking service and some basic screening? That can't be worth more than $5 or $10/mo.

That's weird... I think the original title of the article was wordier than mine, so i cut out words to fit the limit. But now when i check the article it has a shorter one. I could be wrong tho, but I'm pretty sure that's what i remember seeing....
Oh look, somebody else bellyaching about the tech duopoly not giving half of a flying f--- about what its customers actually want, so long as said customers continue to pay out.

Look, if your employer mandates Mac OS or Windows, I get it. Go raise hell about it to your supervisor a few times and if they're not interested, then you can piss and moan about MS and Apple foisting outmoded UI paradigms on a non-consenting public. Fine.

Otherwise, if these are systems that you've selected and paid for of your own accord, knowing full well what that entailed, then you're just feeding the monsters and then complaining that they won't change their ways. These are profit-motivated entities, folks. Until their bottom line is impacted, and somebody spells out that it's because of Issue XYZ, they're not going to give a flying f--- about Issue XYZ.

Ben Zotto, there have been options out there for decades- literally decades- that follow more flexible paradigms than the traditional desktop metaphor. Kindly consider putting your money where your mouth is, kicking Apple (and MS) to the curb, writing a public blog post explaining why so that some product engineer there understands... or otherwise perhaps just admit to yourself that they own you (not the other way around) and move on... but this thing of "I'm going to write an article complaining that a profit-driven company won't solve my problem, even though I continue to pay them not to solve my problem" has got to stop.
The main differences:

1. Obsidian.md is a local-first notebook, Innos is cloud-based knowledge base.

2. Obsidian is a personal tool. Innos can be used for team scenarios(Innos supports collaborative editing).

3. Innos supports rich content types(Images\Video\Iframes\Sandbox). While Obsidian.md is a text-based editor.

4. Innos is block-based collaborative editor. Can be fully accessed by API in block level. (So far not supported yet, but in our plan.)

> migrating their touch-based UX to MacOS, but for some damn reason refuses to ship touchscreens, which is just bonkers

Touch based computing doesn't scale to larger devices very well.

It works well on phones since our fingers are just doing small movements, but on larger devices, users get "gorilla arms" when using large touch screen devices while having to hold their arms in the air.
I think "exploit" is more accurate than "hurt" here.
it's interesting that it seems to be sort of unitless.

So, if the unit of your design is linear but the unknowns operate on the square or the cube of that then the effective safety factor is much smaller.

For example I could design a 12 inch bucket to hold water and then say I'd better make the handle twice as strong in case somebody fills it past the line indicating it is full but of course that will be super-linear in its effect and my safety margin is way less than a factor of 2.
It didn’t used to be like that. But then people never updated their os/software and we ended up with lots of vulnerabilities.

I like where Windows is now, I get notified of required updates but I can defer it for a few days/week. For non-technical people who don’t know how to setup defers I’d imagine they would also be the crowd before who didn’t update. I’m totally fine with my parents occasionally grumbling about a forced reboot overnight.

Likewise all the software I use, besides online games, let me defer updates. Lots of stuff also now has the update next start, which I also like. I don’t even notice my browser updating most of the time until I open dev tools and see “what’s new”
From a security perspective, you're right.

They can inherently leak how much data you do or don't have, which you may not want your competitors to know.

Why media consolidation is good for Substack and technology service providers
The desktop is broken because the big players abandoned it. The idea itself is perfectly serviceable, extendable, and usable. It mates well with a CLI. It was nearly (and neatly) solved back in the late 80s / early 90s with System 6 (with plenty of good work done on Systems 7–9; Windows 3.1 was at least consistent, and the fine work done on NeXTSTEP was simply ignored), and ever since then has been left to rot.

The fact that the Finder actually did what it was supposed to, including remembering folder / file locations and states, but no longer does (this has been conspicuously left out in every OS X+ release), is good evidence that Apple (and MS, given the state of W10), simply doesn't care. People use the web, people use Spotlight, and they go on without too much complaint, mainly because they don't know that it could be any better.

Even simple window management is a disaster — there are W10 systems we use at work for presentations, and it's a crapshoot as to whether a window will expand to fill the screen, allow me to drag it, or do something unexpected when the top bar is used to drag the window to another location. Mac windows no longer expand to fit content. It isn't that the desktop concept has failed — it's been left to die, when it could be the rock-solid basis for any modern interface. This is not progress.
Heathkits were great. I assembled a number of them for my stepfather and for myself. My favorite was the multi-band short wave radio receiver which I used to listen to sputnik.

A neighbor enlisted by stepfather's aid in
troubleshooting a color TV kit he had assembled. I remember the workmanship was picture perfect, matching the photos in the assembly manual exactly. But turning on the power did nothing. A bit of investigation turned up the reason. The entire kit had been constructed using Liquid Solder, construction adhesive most often used to bond metal and other strong materials such as concrete--and a non-conductor of electicity..
