I've programmed both, though only shipped products that used the i960 (CA and KB). I believe the i960 tended to be used in things like printers but there weren't many design wins for the i860.

I managed to miss the magic that is the 88k thankfully. Who actually used it? Linotype? Tek workstations maybe?
My home office in hong kong was litterally the wardrobe, great view out the window but not a lot of room to pace around in.
In terms of competition law, the skins-over-webkit they do allow are plenty.

Anti-trust doesn't so much care about competition to improve web APIs. Because it's not really a market, what with no money changing hands etc.

In MS/IE/Netscape times, the idea of licensing browsers was still fresh. And, more importantly, browsers differed In more than just synthetic benchmark scores: IE had ActiveX plugins that weren't available for any browser or operating system, and those were widely used, discriminating against other OS, an actual market.

A similar situation would be Apple intentionally crippling Google Docs, or amazon.com. The changes to ads and tracking are the closest we've gotten in the last decade, and Apple has a pretty good case that they are doing so with the user's interest in mind.
Does this allow you to get around limits on the number of open files? I work on a system that only allows 4096 open files which means VSCode's file watching code doesn't work on large projects. It would be great it this provided a workaround.
While that may be necessary for complicated webapps, most sites display text, images and a some video. The tools to display images and text have been available since the 90s. The tools for video (without flash) have been available since HTML5, so a decade.

New recently introduced gimmicks only solve problems that were already solved. There is no reason that a site such as reddit should have to run scripts for 11s on page load, when a pretty much feature-identical site such as HN manages the same with 100ms of scripts running.

Modern webdev is, for the most part, creating new problems that didn't need to be solved. It's a job placement program, nothing more.
It's easier to put the blame elsewhere than to look at your own failing systems.
Those pay well if you're in a front office position and coding algorithms that are directly affecting trading strategies and making the firm money.

If you're doing back office work / stuff that just keeps the lights on you won't be paid any better than any other random dev job.

What the U.S. Can Learn from Europe’s Approach to Artificial Intelligence
What web developers think:

- User: "This site is broken. Fuck Safari, I want Chrome on my iPhone!"

What users actually think:

- User: "This site is broken. Fuck it, I'll go to another site."

Safari isn't THAT BAD that sites can't work on it. It's mostly minor differences, and lack of some "nice-to-haves" that are not crucial to UX (or in fact, their lack improves UX).

No one cares about your site that much to go to another browser just to browse it ON A PHONE. This is why I said, outside the web dev echo chamber, no one cares.

I've been around for IE6, and comparing Safari with IE6 is honestly absolutely ignorant and laughable. But I did also make my sites work fine with IE6 back in the time. That's our job.

Safari will move at its own pace. The only thing I care about it, is that it's secure, power efficient, fast and user friendly. I speak also as an iPhone user, because users matter more than developers and their endless whining about features.
By "income", parent is referring to employment income. But their true income is the real estate investment of their primary residence, which nearly doubles their income.

They are borrowing $300k I guess (1.5m + 0.2m, less 1.4m), and will likely sell their new house for far more than $1.5m when they sell again in another dozen years.
This is the most out of touch comment I have seen in a long time, even for hackernews. A lot of people with office jobs are making $35k-$40k a year. You're talking about 1/4th of their take home salary, and $120 a month is an expense that at least 50% of America couldn't afford and most don't have $7k on hand to blow.
Large-scale enterprise applications will generally favour the relational model simply because it's application-independent (which is something you're pointing out at the end). But documents are documents, they already have some defined structure, mostly a tree-like one.
See, this is exactly what I mean. :D

I would misunderstand as well. Processing plain text is ambiguous and we all carry our own assumptions along for the ride. Bash's traditional huge (and badly formatted on the web) help pages don't help matters as well.

I'd think in 2021 we'll have an official "TL;DR: bash gotchas" but I guess not.
That is not technological debt according to the this article. Its not about outdated dependencies.
While I was musing about such matters, now, the TI C80 MVP, that was an interesting one to write software for.
I think the poster is thinking of the 4004, which was originaly designed for a calculator. But that isn't really related to the 8008 onwards, which are based on a Datapoint computer terminal as you say.
I tried watching videos on an iPad while walking on a treadmill and found that head movement made it annoying to watch. The obvious solution is a bigger screen further away. Did you find anything like that?
My first thought. Pay someone else to buy the house for you and hold onto it.

Unless you restrict the number of houses private individuals can own and massively restrict what corporate owners can buy, not much will change.
It is wealth transfer from Baby Boomers to their kids.

Demographics also plays a role. We saw a massive boom in the 1950s, 1980s, and now in the 2000s. This boom is less sharp, and more spread out then the previous ones.

The war generation all had kids between 1944 and 1950 (5-10 year span). The Boomers all had kids in the mid 70s to mid 80s (10-15 year span). The children of Boomers are now buying houses. So it's a longer cycle, this time around (15-20 year span).
I would disagree in that I would say it isn't necessarily the 'easy' or 'limited' solutions, but basically any solution that, in retrospect, is now a limiting factor in your development. Overengineering is just as bad as under if it later limits your performance and/or flexibility.
Hmm. Wait, so if I take the SIM to a country that supports 3G would it still work? Or are they killing the SIMs/proxy servers themselves as well?
Not just Google - Many thousands of developers would benefit from being able to create web applications that can run on desktop and mobile and are not handicapped on Apple devices.
I agree. Also sounds like a great way to transfer more wealth from the poor to the rich considering only the rich have the ability to quickly funnel most of their wealth between different types of investments.
And as an Spanish speaker, I've found that, oddly, Greek people "sound" exactly like Spaniards. In the sense that you would swear they are Spanish and yet you don't understand a word, it's uncanny! Is it the same for you guys, the other way around?
I think this is a reasonable default — most people Googling this aren't savvy to the difference between CET and CEST and just want to know what the current time is in a-la Brussels. It is misleading though in the sense that it says that it's showing you CET, but the time value is actually for CEST.
The desire to get rid of masks is mostly iconoclastic in my opinion. People come up with all sorts of hand-wringing explanations for the anti-mask phenomenon but it's actually pretty simple in my opinion, people want rid of their masks for the same reason English people burn effigies of Guy Fawkes on the 5th of November. It's not the masks themselves that make people dislike them, it's what they represent. To some they're primarily a symbol of caring about your neighbours, to others they're primarily a symbol of government authoritarianism. It's this subjective, symbolic association that I think informs most people's opinions of masks.

I suspect the Venn diagram of people who don't like masks and people who don't like coercively collectivist politics is basically a circle. It certainly is here in the UK, most opposition to masks in Parliament came from the Tory backbenchers which I guess is why their mandatory use was dropped this month; the 1922 Committee (a formal group of Tory backbenchers) can force a vote of no confidence in the Tory leader if 15% of them call for such a vote. Tory backbenchers tend to be more small-c conservative than the Tory frontbench, they're not necessarily anti-authoritarian but they're often anti-collectivist.
It's likely simply scarcity related.

If you can borrow 800k based on your income and you accept 200 square metres for that price, and there is such scarcity (100 viewings per home, 2% success rate) that you're unable to find a home, it may lead you to accept a 190 square metre home at the same 800k price.

If such a trend continuous for a decade, you may see that suddenly people accept to pay 800k for a 100 square metre home (such as happened in Amsterdam, the Netherlands).

The net effect is that housing prices per square metre doubled: a 100 square home went from 400k to 800k, and a 200 square home went from 800k to 1.6m.

No change in financing capacity is necessary for this to occur. Only a shortage of homes creating a cycle where people keep accepting less space at the same price, thereby increasing the prices per square metre throughout the entire market, thereby pushing prices of homes up.

I believe that's what's happening. The media fuels this process by constantly writing articles about shortages (even though objectively speaking, in the past decades home sizes have sharply increased while household size (persons-per-home) has decreased, i.e. there is objectively more housing per person than ever before).

Of course there is a limit to this logic. But in the Netherlands for example, the average space per person is about 50% higher than in Germany (culturally quite similar country). So there seems room for Dutch to accept smaller homes. And there's some examples (e.g. Hong Kong) that show that a high-income country with housing shortages also can push people to accept smaller homes in their budget.

This effect isn't immediate because prices are sticky. People cannot accept too much change rapidly without believing its overpriced. Over time, these 'overpriced' price levels are normalised and seen as the new normal, accepted, and a new concept of 'high' emerges. But it's not instant. Second, homes are mortgaged and thus must pass an appraisal. Appraisers also don't accept radical changes as they're based on reference objects of a few months ago, so there's a limit to the speed of price change.
This is how you append query params to a url - nothing to do with the shell.
Scrum isn't bad, but there are better agile processes. Most people doing scrum don't really do retrospectives and make changes to the process. In a large company this isn't really reasonable as there needs to be some process in common with each team, and the processes you most need to change in scrum are the ones that can only be changed if every team does it at once.

I favor kanban processes - it locks in less at an organizational level and thus allows more freedom to make changes for the team. Though in my experience there is less change needed in the first place because the only processes specified are the ones that are locked in and everything else is whatever it takes to make it work.
The later ones are out of order, they are very likely affected, just no one cares enough to prove it.
I thought GemFire was directly derived from GemStone, via numerous acquisitions. If GemStone has a different transaction model I don't know it.

The point is, no distributed database with a naive two-phase lock is truly transactional.

Is there a single example of that working anywhere ever?

The claim was though that the constitution contains rules to ban political speech. Even if you see Volksverhetzung as political speech (just because it's uttered by politicians doesn't make it political), the rule banning it is not part of the constitution.
Oddly common. Many of the crypto ponzies that lead nowhere contributed a lot to some good open source projects. Well their employees did at least

Itanium may have been the nail in the coffin, but by the time the hammer fell on that nail, Alpha was already basically dead due to bad business structure and incentives that were inherited from DEC. They had many of the same problems that Intel has been having recently (low yields, failure to keep up with performance increases) without Intel's long-standing business agreements or inertia to hold up the product line through a difficult period.

16+.

And the relevance of 16 months would be? At this point it's pretty much a given that covid will become endemic. Due to general idiocy we've missed our chance of eradication.

In the 16 months you cited Covid has become both more virulent and almost twice as infectious. We'd now need around 85% population immunity to stop it from spreading, and the best vaccines only have below 90% effectiveness against symptomatic infection, and less against asymptomatic it seems. And evolution likely still has more low hanging fruit to find to make a virus that only made the jump to humans very recently better adapted to its new host.

So even if OP only has a 20% chance of contracting Covid in any one year interval (and it's likely higher), over 10 years that's a 90% chance (and 99.5% over 25). I have no idea what OP's belief that they have a extremely low chance of contracting covid is based on (that's why I asked, but unsurprisingly received no answer).
Intel lost a lot by playing games rather than letting engineers build the best stuff they could and cash out checks on it.

Now they cry help to the same engineers they have turned away from in the past.

When a company uses unrelated facts to try to steer the opinion, it means they have nothing else to defend themselves with.

It still makes financial sense for them to fight this ruling even if they have 0 basis for it: simply delaying the paiement of a 800M euro fine cover the lawyers' fees.

There should be interests on fines to account for this.
That's one way of paying taxes ...
I had an aha moment a few years ago when I realized that technical debt is not taken out by the development team; the development team are the ones making the loan. The debtor is the product/sales team, who got their feature early but now have to pay a little more (in delay or lack of functionality) for every other feature.

Ideally, a dev team delivers feature value at a particular sustainable rate. Think of that as your product team’s ‘income’. Now, if the product team needs a feature early, they can have it if they take out a loan - they can have the feature built without sustainable integration into the codebase - but it will reduce their effective income because future feature delivery will be slowed by the friction of the incurred debt - the interest payments.

Don’t let the product owners make you feel like you have to deal with the burden of debt they took out! They owe you the time to clean up the mess they demanded to get their features faster.
Yep, nobody in Spain ever believes that I can't really speak good Spanish, because I sound like a native. I had a friend pronounce Greek words transliterated to Spanish, and he sounded like a native as well.

There are a few minute differences, like the "s" sound being a bit farther forward in Spanish, or the "rr" in Spanish being rolled twice (in Greek it's only rolled once), or Greek having a "z" sound (which Castillan accents don't have), but largely it's more or less identical.

Looks good. I’d really like to use this. Mainly I like that the author used same approach as I do whereby with careful use of low specificity, a custom "btn" class can be further customized just by adding TW classes (ie. not css specificity issues).

My only gripe with this is that you should then use a clearly defined and separate naming convention for custom classes, for example SuitCSS is good:

Not

btn btn-large rounded-full

But

du-Btn du-Btn—-primary rounded-full

ie.
PascalCase component names,

optional prefix (eg. du for daisy ui, because other apps also have their prefix see eg. Twitch and Algolia css)

Bem conventions like double dash for modifier as opposed to a descendant

https://github.com/suitcss/suit/blob/master/doc/naming-conve...

So yeah I would like to be able at a glance to know where a class is from. "btn" is not from tailwind, but where is it from? What if my app uses multiple components, from third party etc? It’s not clear.

Other than that This is better than Bootstrap approach even with custom classes, because you take care of css specificity problem (assuming you can add a tw class anywhere and override the builtin custom classes)...

this is the middle way that nobody uses for whatever reason, the one that makes sense, but requires a good basic understanding of css specificity as well as setup stringent css linter

Also using a convention would let you use a good linter on the custom selectors

I currently trust Restic with basically all of my long-term backups, which, according to the author, really isn't a thing I should do.

However, I'm still somewhat confident in my strategy as I backup my all of my data to two entirely different repositories, one of them backed by Google Cloud, and another by the server sitting in my pantry. So one of these repositories could get irrecoverably corrupted and I still wouldn't lose any of my data. With cloud storage becoming so cheap I've also thought about adding a third repo.

Of course this would not protect me from a hypothetical bug in Restic that corrupts all my repositories before I notice, so maybe I should also add another auto-backup solution into the mix.

Doing manual things like moving data to external storage seems like a robust strategy, but I really don't trust myself to do something like that nearly often enough for it to be useful.
as stock owner I can still safely lol at this.
That's a terrible source.
> "you can overhear the spontaneous decisions during the day"

This is a good thing if the spontaneous decisions are always and only the ones that are important to you. This is a bad thing if there is any other decision. In a shared multiple companies space the only decision that matters to you is "where should we go for lunch" (they might not work with you, but you can still eat lunch with them). In a company only space it is better, but there are still a lot that don't matter to you. If it is a team only shared space most of the decisions matter to you.
> It's not like things were nice before we sat in front of computers all day.

This might be true, technically, but often HN uses this point to dismiss any criticism of modern society and it use of technology.

Make life easier for users at the expense of developers could very well be Apple's mission statement, and I say that as somebody who did a long stint as a primarly Apple developer. Sometimes the needs of devs and users are at odds, and when they are Apple sides with the users. I'm glad there's at least one company in the market that takes this view.
> Well that's sure vague

I am currently implementing GDPR for a health related startup. This half sentence sums up the entire regulation pretty well. It's infuriatingly unspecific about what you can do, and full of vague hinting on things that you maybe really should not do.

"Can I do this?" "Yeaaaah, not exactly saying that you can't but maybe it would REALLY be better if you don't, maybe"

Absolutely disgusting. Lawyers must be thrilled to have it.

Edit: My gripe is not at all with privacy protection laws but with laws that are unclear. Apparently I have been unclear.

That first link is very concerning.
I can't work out what your other comment is getting downvoted for. It basically boils down to "some people are arseholes and they behave like arseholes" - which probably tells you all you need to know about the downvoters.
I've tried setup like this. I fall asleep immediately. It seems that I require some amount of discomfort to stay focused.
Last I checked, it was impossible to create a YT/Google account without providing a (working) phone number. Which is even worse than requiring "real names" (which can at least be spoofed).
I mentioned it in another comment, but I felt the same way until I figured out there is a solution. Here is an example of a simple CSS file with a reusable button class:

@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;

@layer components {
.button {
@apply text-2xl p-2 bg-gray-100 text-gray-600 border border-gray-200 cursor-pointer hover:bg-gray-200 hover:border-gray-300;
}
}

I can now just give all of my reusable buttons the ".button" class instead of the giant string above. I can even add more styles or overwrite existing styles to give it a different look such as:

<button class="button bg-red-100 text-red-600">Click Me</button>

If you look at income and ignore their wealth, maybe it seems strange. But they have > 1.4 million in equity. They're allocating < 15% of their equity.

At the end of the day they'd be sitting on a mortgage that's only 2-3x their annual income, that's very reasonable.

These are very interesting tips, I will take them into account. Saving is what I am guided by in most cases when I am going to do complex repair or renovation work at home. For example, when I wanted to install cameras to ensure the security of the house, I bought the cheapest ones, but I did not save on the security system and bought https://ajax.systems/. Thanks to this system, I was able to combine the work of all my seven cameras in the house and outside the house to work together with the security system.
