There's a few games and communities that, I believe, create the same experiences but for a different generation.

But first, remember Eternal September; basically it will never be like it was back then, even if it is exactly the same. See WoW Classic.

Anyway, I think people are experiencing the same things nowadays in games like Runescape, Minecraft and Roblox, where in especially the latter two there are a number of servers offering MMO-like gameplay, including heaps of weird bugs. I wouldn't recommend them for people looking for an UO experience though. I never played any of those myself.
Good man/woman :)

I understand that some people just need a job to pay rent, and we all need to be a little selfish, making decisions that are right for us, but tech employees have a choice.

You can afford to not work for a sector of tech that is involved in predation on the gullible, or harvesting and selling personal data for profit, or trying to "hack" your brain by developing "addictive" technologies.
No you’re not alone.

Abbreviations and acronyms are meant to be defined within textual material unless they are effectively names that are more well known as the acronym like NASA or IBM.

I actually prefer what you might call a reverse definition such as SQL (Structured Query Language), rather than what is taught as the proper way, e.g., random access memory (RAM).

There are so very many overlaps like QA - is that Quality Assurance or Quantitative Analyst. It is especially bad when they are used in submission titles because this is such a general news site.
I don't understand why there's two apps, name and domains (doing the same thing?), one redirecting to the other.

Is your startup named OpsFlow (previously digger.dev)? Or is OpsFlow a new product home digger?
Not sure about the laser side, but for inkjets, the Epson EcoTank line is the best at not fucking you - it uses ink bottle refills, no cartridges in sight.
>What will the Music Industry or Cinema Industry do, if a company uses the Corpus of Music or Movies without asking for further permission?

As a composer or cinematographer you don't have to ask for permission to learn from other people's work, so why should a computer? (rhetorical question)
Sounds like you got annoyed trying to learn something new, quit, and decided it's not worth your time. When people tell you it takes a few weeks to get the hang of rust they aren't kidding. Most people aren't the exception to that, but once you do get it, it's really great... Not kidding about that either...
You and counterparty agree on source of truth (e.g. some bank’s database) and use some sort of proof framework. It’s just an off-chain computation.
this is pretty interesting.
Quick question - let's take a popular piece of software (Apache Airflow). Let's say i want to set it up on AWS EKS with all the best practices + spot instances cost reduction ... how would i do it with OpsFlow ?

The problem with devops is that i dont know the "right way". I dont know whether i should use private VPC or a public VPC, etc etc.

So a library of readymade "templates" would be quite useful.

It's an oversimplification.

Internet Explorer being bundled with Windows was a different issue back then.
Main problem was that a lot of official (government issued) software required ActiveX to run. Since ActiveX was bundled with Internet Explorer and Internet Explorer was bundled with Windows it was simple chain of dependencies that forced people into buying (not as cheap as today) Windows license. There were even some bribery charges in few European countries but usually towards 3rd party sellers so nothing that could stick to Microsoft itself. [1]

Still that was in a scenario where IE had 95% market share. Today Chrome on mobile has 65% market share. Safari has 25% market share. Most likely (as there is other comment about it in this thread) if Chrome on iOS would be an option Google would push users towards (as both Google Search and YouTube are dominant product and it's easy to provide extra features there) which would bring us to exact situation where Internet Explorer was in Microsoft vs US case.

Funny, though, how the old version of the joke "you either die a hero, or live long enough to become a Microsoft"

If you're interested you could dig more articles like that. Yet, because a lot of those happened around year 2000, searching articles is hard (as DDG for example uses Bing for results, and I can imagine why those aren't showing in bulk) but there are still few that can get you the taste what was the core issue if you're curious enough.
This was built in slovenia a few years ago, it's always full of kids, and doesn't look much different than some of the "old" ones:

Honestly, seems fun, even if it is a bit "high", but I would've like this a lot more as a kid, than the more "classic-modern" (non-dangerous) ones.

Some features are plain missing (or must be implemented in a convoluted manner):

- Discriminated unions

- Immutable data types (records)

- Free functions (or modules of free functions)

- Software transactional memory (STM), atoms

- Ad-hoc polymorphism (traits)

- Custom operators (used sparingly for building DSLs)

- List comprehensions

Instead we get anti-features like automatic properties, implementation inheritance, events, object initializers, etc...
> try to find an instance of a situation where the NL forced the US to comply to an NL-originated rule and was successful

European countries routinely force American firms to do things [1]. Coinbase asking a Dutch user to follow American law isn’t dissimilar from an American having to follow Dutch law when using a Dutch service. No governments are forcing other governments to do anything in this case.

I think this must be common knowledge. If I go on a long hike, I am not really hungry for a couple of hours afterwards. Often people I hike with want to immediately after the hike get food. I used to often skip going to a restaurant because I was not hungry, then decided as a practice to go anyway to be more “social.”
There's a lot of good advice in that article. I liked the part on cookies in particular. You rarely read that anywhere.
I agree Apple shouldn’t dictate which browser you can use on iOS. (The way to resolve that is for iOS to allow alternative stores. It’s fine for Apple to control their store, just not my device.)

But this article is absolutely full of it. This is part 6 of a 6 part series ostensibly on the importance of browser choice, and there’s not a peep about the long-term problems with the dominance of Chrome and the chromium engine, and Google’s de facto control of web standards.

We’re hanging off the edge of a cliff and this guy’s complaining our foot is snagged.

I feel like you picked up on the wrong problem in their example...

> Prius extends Car extends vehicle extends motor extends

The problem isn't that it's too in-depth, or too overbuilt, that answer is as close to objectively wrong as you get on a pretty open ended question and I'd imagine only an extremely junior developer would come up with that.

For example, you could maybe argue that a model of car extends a specific car. I'd expect an experienced developer to favor composition over inheritance at that stage, but that's open to debate.

But if a Vehicle extends a motor, does a motor extend a piston? Does a wheel extend a lug nut?

At that point you're moving away from "arguably correct" to just plain failing to answer the question. It shows they don't know the difference between composition and inheritance.

> It takes a brave interview candidate to say "the best solution depends on the exact nature of the problem - and your problem doesn't make any sense so there's no valid solution".

You're free to ask questions, we're supposed to be trying to collaborate. I don't think it's "brave" to instead say "your problem doesn't make sense". Shows more hubris than anything.

How is it any different than a systems design question?

Google desktop was so great. It’s also weird how bad windows search and Mac search sucks.

Google desktop was able to find files anywhere in milliseconds. Still today if I search for a file on windows it takes many seconds and frequently misses the file. And there’s an indexing service that seems to peg my cpu every once in a while.

This sim is done quite right, with the key part of the article being "This model is the same as in the basic version, but includes basic economics, like debt (whithout interest) and investments that are proportional to the respective wealths of the spending and the receiving player"

CLT dominates only if you do the sim wrong by making unrealistic simplifying assumptions (e.g. that each round is independent and variance is constant) that effectively eliminate the main parts of the simulated system and ensure that the simulation gets misleading results.
We tried Zulip about a year ago. There were loads of things we loved about it - the threading model in particular - but the learning curve was steep for non-technical members and the mobile app lacked a couple of key features (share sheet integration was the big one, from memory). We also looked at Quill, which had a similar threading model but … was bought and then sank without a trace. We ended up on Slack, which is a total car crash. Can’t find anything.

It was frustrating because Zulip felt like it was so close to being a great - and unique - product. Might be time to take another look and see if it’s there yet. It’s a really great community, friendly and very responsive on GH issues.

> The issues that Rust is supposed to help with are simply not what we spent time on. All the bugs reported are pretty much exclusively root caused to "business logic".

Everyone claims this, probably because business logic bugs are more memorable. But I've never seen it match the real statistics. According to the best published data, null alone is something like 30-70% of bugs, you just don't remember them because they're uninteresting.
I had one, looks good at first, but a few months on, the inkjet is just stuck with ink
Another data point: I have been using a Brother inkjet multifunctional printer with high-capacity ink cartridges for ~five years now, it has no problems with third party ink, and it has worked perfectly from day one. My home office is apparently quite challenging for an inkjet printer, because it's located directly under the roof, so temperatures can get quite high in the summer, which the Epson printer I had before couldn't handle - it constantly had white lines in the printouts. No problem with the Brother.
We have 4. The bar is a trip to the hospital. Urgent care facilities on the east coast usually won’t do pediatric stitches, and in my experience, a hospital visit for simple stitches or similar takes around 4-6 hours (I.e., 5.5 hours of waiting for 30 minutes of treatment). The absolute last thing I want to do is sit in a hospital with four kids for 6 hours, even if it’s free after insurance.
Bummer, I’ve been a fan of Brother in the past. Owned two monochrome laser printers that have been great over 10 years of service with not a single paper jam.
I can't wrap my head around how the printer market has turned into this absolutely dispicable, foul state that it is in right now.

Decades of innovation that have been invested, not to make a better product, but mostly on how to extract more and more money from their victims, I mean "customers".

I would like to own a printer again, but for printing something like once a month, I just can't financially justify spending several hundred bucks on a device that might, at the whim of the manufacturer, decide that the way I'm using it is not okay anymore, is probably designed to break after two years, requires me to sign up for a subscription service for ink, or whatever BS else the decision makers in this space come up with.

A very good point about rust (and c++ and c) being used outside embedded and systems. That's fair. But when people do that, they do it for performance, and go is easily 5x slower in my experience. It feels faster than java because the lower latency makes it feel more responsive, but its takes half again as long to finish the same tasks. And c# absolutely blows its doors off, closer to twice as long as c#. And c# feels responsive as well. And don't all those languages make the same safety guarantees as go?

About detecting footguns, I was honestly asking, I thought maybe you could have a borrow checker, but none of the zero cost abstractions that rust uses to make it mostly tolerable. I'm not saying I want to use that language, but I do like explicit languages if they aren't too verbose. Go is a good example of that I think, until you get into the abstractions around parallelism.

Can you comment on the impact that Elixir has had for your platform? Usually reports of technology decisions are biased towards the positive, so sharing any challenges that you've experienced along the way would be really helpful. Do you think that Elixir was the right tool for the job and if you could start over again, would you choose it?

Not much convinced: we have different kind of nearly-identical ICEs vehicles burning a certain range of chemicals like: petrol, diesel, alcohol, gazogene, synfuel of various kind (from ammonia derivates to modern biodisel) to liquefied petroleum gases and methane.

For EVs we have just variation of lithium battery tech on board and few classic ways to produce electricity to recharge them. It's not different. The different part is in performance terms and in scalability terms.

Can we produce AND RECYCLE batteries for any personal vehicles and eVTOL? I doubt and I'm not alone. Articles like https://www.vice.com/en/article/y3vny5/glorified-electric-go... or https://www.motorious.com/articles/features-3/uk-eliminating... seems to confirm what we are really heading: most will live in cities like [1] essentially traveling only locally by feet, bicycles and wired public transports (rails, metro etc), very few will live well outside moving like https://www.easa.europa.eu/sites/default/files/dfu/uam-full-... it might sound "a dream" but try too look WHO ARE the dreamers and what they actually do...

Oh, BTW we always talk about personal vehicles and homes, nothing about industry, transports etc... What the vision for them? New sailing tall vessels like [2] are no less dreams with little practical usage, H₂ propelled airplanes etc are on the same level. That part is CONSTANTLY omitted in Green discussions like the new geothermal heat pump can born in the house backyard. Sure additive manufacturing is a promising revolution but so far is not much more than a promise. Sure the dream of fusion reactors, perhaps small enough to be embedded in homes, cars etc would be a game-changer but so far what's on the table?

Heads of many agencies are appointed, but all of the institutional knowledge of say the NSA, CIA, FBI, etc is buried within the organization. If you want anything done you must work within those organizations. Places like the OMB and the layers that support congress. Power brokers from their day like Karl Rove and Grover Norquist. The lobbyists that actually write the laws congress signs, the “negotiators” they use to horse trader. The military more directly serves the president, but these other agencies have accreted tremendous power. I don’t think it is some grand conspiracy, but the US government is a massive organism and some of its organs are harder to control than others.

In simple terms: were they elected and do you pay for their salary?

I had a very bold toddler to look after for a long time. She used to love climbing about on playgrounds but I would regulate her activity quite strictly. I remember her pestering me to let her go on the big kid's slide which eventually I allowed.

I had failed to realise that because she was wearing a nappy / diaper she would experience a near frictionless decent. I remember watching her shoot off the end of the slide and skip (on her bum) across the rubber and bark chipping off ramp like a flat stone over a pond.

Poor little thing, she was totally shocked a bit sore but not too damaged with scuffed elbows and one thigh and of course a pair of tights written off.

However, the moral is a good one, for quite a while after that she flatly would not go on slides of any sort. Eventually she decided that some slides were fun and ok, and went back on them, and she went back to all slides after about a year. By then she was much more competent and in control. I believe that in a small way it helped her understand and calibrate physical risks, it didn't make her any less bold in the long run, but it did make her more sensible.

> I am not a language specification lawyer. If I hit a difference in behavior, I don't open up the spec to try and figure out who is right and wrong. It's entirely possible that Safari is in the right. But when Chrome/Firefox/Latest webkit agree, and Safari doesn't, I'm fairly confident it's Safari's fault at that point.

This is weird to me. Say if I’m working with Swift, JavaScript, and Java. And only Swift built-in mergesort is the right implementation (say it’s the common case where it correctly implements the mid logic not shown in textbooks). That’s not Swift’s fault, that’s Javascript & Java’s fault for implementing a bad Mergesort.
> I can’t even imagine how to go about fixing that.

One segment at a time, I guess. But like you said, it gets really complicated in older cities with many hundreds of years of things having been put in the ground. Anyway they can probably process that just fine, it just means that at rainy days there will be higher water content; it means they'll have to scale up. Or if there's overflow, dump it directly if they're already doing it now; if they can reduce the amount of sewage going into surface water, it's already an improvement.
The key insight is the order of reversal doesn't matter, and that any securities trade/position is eventually reversed (its the only action available). Hence having synthetic positions outstanding via rehypothecation doesnt actually matter as they are fungible with normal float.
Perhaps the statement should be, Safari is in no way a better browser than any competitor for developers.

It would.

More importantly, though, it would also entail Apple allowing other browsers on iOS, meaning that they would have to compete on quality rather than lock in.

The issue is that I, as a dev, am not allowed to use anything not supported on iOS/Safari, since that is half the market in the West. Apple is holding the web back by forcing everyone to adapt to the lowest common denominator, effectively controlling a platform they have no business controlling.
