> What if Apple pushed IIGS over the Mac?

The II was a dead end. The 65816 was not a nice ISA to program for. Very powerful for the clock, but going with the 68000 allowed the Mac to continue relevant up until the transition to PowerPC.

> What if Commadore had got behind the Amiga properly?

I think the best missed opportunity of the Amiga was when Commodore refused to allow Sun to sell the 3000 as a low-end Unix workstation. At the time, it was unclear whether Unix and its descendants would be the winner of the OS wars, but it would have been wonderful if the Amiga was launched with the same OS Commodore ported to their never launched Commodore 900 workstation.

> it would be possible to run Doom in a meaningful way on the original 1987 Acorn Archimedes

I bet there is a port for it. The first benchmarks indicated the plain Archimedes had higher FP throughput than a 16MHz 386 with a 387.

> Would a game like that have tipped the market in its favour if it had been there at launch?

I don't think I ever saw an Archimedes being sold outside the UK. I only heard of them because BYTE magazine had excellent coverage of interesting machines available abroad. I wish they would be more available in the Americas (back then I lived in Brazil)
I thought that mercurial was able to push/pull from a git remote.
Don’t know why you think giving the government even more money is gonna solve anything.
Could you link your results? Would be very helpful.
1: What does it matter? I do $packagemanager install git and am done. What do I care whether it's got dependencies or consists of several binaries?

2: Fair enough. Although a multi-file backup doesn't sound hard to me either.

3: That would give me the opposite of peace of mind. I can't clean up my messy WIP commits?

4: Sounds like a nice feature.

5: This just uses the term "tag" to mean something else that git tags. But I agree that it would be nice to be able to label several commits (distinct from tags).
I worked on MVC applications for years. I have now worked on React apps for years. The UI-as-a-function model is an absolute godsend.
> The blame rests solely with the politicians

This is scapegoating. Who put them in power?

> The consumer simply saw cheap flights and did what they do best.

The politicians saw lobbyist money and did what they do best. The lobbyists got paid to do what they do best. The special interest groups saw a gameable system and did what they do best. The consumers feed the industries that buy out the politicians. Everyone plays a part and everyone is partly to blame.

And again, you could lose the condescending tone, thank you very much.
If doctors did science on each patient (which would open up a huge can of legal liability worms), you'd pay ten times as much for healthcare.
Is there any gain here aside from cost saving? Will this saving be passed on to the customer? (laughs). What happens when the inevitable AWS outage then causes a global shipping bottleneck? Have we still not learnt that having sovereignty is better than saving money? Has COVID taught us nothing? sigh
Subversion has its branching and merging quirks, but it works and works well in most cases. Most of the usage problems can be solved by sticking to best practices and using up-to-date SVN client versions.
Not related to the problems listed in the blog post, but most of my problems with git went away when I started using worktrees[0] (I do a `--bare` clone and add worktrees in there).

Working on a new feature: new worktree
Doing a code review: new worktree
Testing random changes: new worktree (usually in detached mode)
Need to debug some code from the current production branch: new worktree

All the problems with `checkout`, `stash` and switching between branches disappeared.

You've trotted out a few traditional social conservative issues as evidence that Trump is not far right, but it's pretty obvious that "far right" means something entirely different than simple social conservatism. It includes traditional right-wing beliefs in social hiearchies, extending to ethno-nationalism and frank "fascist-adjacent" beliefs.

>"Has the GOP base actually moved that much?"

Of course they have, and your very next lines explain it. That Trump destroyed the GOP establishment's ability to control some of its constituents is the first tell. How was the establishment able to maintain control pre-Trump and what was the impact on the party once those constituents were unleashed?

Further, this wasn't the base. These were always Tea-partiers and Freedom Caucus members who were in the vocal minority. Trump centered them, lurching the entire party sharply rightward.
The article says: The company is a known Oracle Cloud and Microsoft Azure customer.

With Amazon being a formidable logistics competitor, I can see why Fedex might be loath to fund a major competitor.
I don't find that very appealing. MacOS is a good Unix and I only start Linux containers on it when I'm testing something specifically for Linux (which I usually consider a bug - the software I write should run well on anything Unixy enough).
Google races out patch for Chrome browser zero-day on Windows and Android
Your hardware is good enough to run any Linux distribution out there.

The question is what your use case is and what is your level of proficiency using Linux.

Linux Mint, Elementary and Pop_OS provide good install experience, easy of usage, low maintenance and good performance.

Contrary to popular wisdom, Ubuntu still is a good option.

If you need more flexibility than the alternatives above, go with Debian.
You're too hard on yourself, the reality is that this is the vast majority of people. There are those few percent of people that will come up with something new, but the majority of time its a person thinking about combining A with B, and coming up with something that's just slightly new.
Microsoft loves Linux, definitely.

You have to label it clearly in your project if you have received Horizon money. It's a requirement from CORDIS. The funding is for the whole SHERPA project, not just for that page.'

The first objective of SHERPA is to "represent and visualise the ethical and human rights challenges of SIS (artificial intelligence and big data analytics) through case studies". This page does that nicely. That it is put together with available resources instead of some over engineered solution is just a plus.

CORS work because the target is HTTP and exposes permissions in headers.

There is no HTTP headers for raw UDP.
It can be reduced to that with a lot of emphasis on how you reduce calories. Do you break your habits such as alcohol, sugar, and caffeine that hinder reduction? Do you cut out carbs or do keto? At the end of the day it is fewer calories, what matters is if it is sustainable.

I bulked for lifting in the winter. Got to a body fat percent where I wasn't happy with how I looked. I then needed to decide to cut or continue gaining strength. This decision actually caused a lot of strife when before I realized I couldn't do both effectively.

I looked at my calories and what I wanted to reduce. It didn't work well, I had a hard time tracking calories and making the correct cuts despite a simple diet.

Now it is summer, it is hot, I'm not using AC. My body wants less food, I cut out rice, mostly on meat and dairy. Consistently losing weight now. I attribute it largely to the heat.

My take away is that it is eating less, but eating less is hard.
What makes you think that a cloud provider outage is more likely than an existing-Fedex-datacenter outage?
Linux and OpenSSL are two great examples of projects that probably should, but doesn't bother, to do much testing at all. Even if they are both steadily getting better at it.

They obviously produce useful results and most would love to see more of it, yet it is tacked on afterwards and often by completely different people than the original developers, not as part of the development process.

They have a long way to go to have good enough tests that could be relied on for integration purposes. TDD isn't even on the map. And will probably never be.
I was in your position, asking others to not always expect the worst, to be reasonable with "new Microsoft".

They couldn't help themselves, they just had to abuse the trust and now I am back to the point were Microsoft has to earn any trust that I am not forced to give them.

Take note whoever thought it was a good idea to squeeze a few cents extra out of us by plastering cheap candy crush ads everywhere in my licensed professional software, change pricing willy nilly and be generally unreliable with stuff like the post above: it does backfire.

Other engineers and "evangelists" and what not worked hard for years to create trust and become a preferred choice. I was swayed. I preferred Microsoft to Google for a few months. You tore it down in hours and now I despise both.

(Yes, there are usable parts of both. But no long time trust. Always check my back. It works but it is so icky to be in a relationship with someone who so cleary doesn't care.)
I think this is the first time I've heard of switch and restore. Before I moved to magit I always used git checkout and git reset.
That’s actually not hard. Connect the toaster to a smart plug with monitoring, make an automation to send a notification when the power draw drops after X seconds of power draw. It’s essentially the same way people make their washing machines smart.
I'm not sure having mainframes counts as sovereignty. Yearly savings suggests it doesn't.
> If Germany exported for the last few decades then it is going to import for a few decades at some point

not necessarily. A situation like this could easily and quickly spiral out of control. High inflation could wipe out decades of trade surpluses and germany cant even control their own inflation, because its using €, which is controlled by the European Central Bank.

As a german citizen I'm hopeful that its only temporary however and that our economy recovers at least somewhat over the next few years.

> For you to enjoy using this tool you had to change the model your brain use, and you call that good UX?

Every tool has its modus operandi, incl. but not limited to every programming language. Extending our understanding is hardly a bad thing.

Git proposes a model for handling stuff, and I prefer it very much.

And yes, the UX is fine.
You were a bit too quick in dismissing sqlparse. I had the same initial reaction but it does actually build a tree, more or less, by grouping together tokens. It doesn't build a full syntax tree, though. For instance, it doesn't attempt to identify the FROM or JOINs from a select statement for instance, but it does make sure to group things such that a FROM keyword following a SELECT is part of the same SELECT statement. This makes it flexible but does leave you with slightly more work (though it worked well enough for my purposes).
> Yes, and it matches the definition of an "operating system".

No, it does not. An operating system (OS) is system software that manages computer hardware, software resources, and provides common services for computer programs. [1][2]

You cannot just arbitrarily take long-established technical terms and redefine them to suit your needs or your rough intuition. If you look in the authoritative sources below, there are over 100+ mentions of Linux and Windows, as well as several mentions of esoteric and defunct OS like Haiku, BeOS and others. Not a single mention of Kubernetes.

This is because Kubernetes is not an operating system and it does not fit the technical definition of an OS. It is container orchestration software.

It is important to call things using their real names, otherwise, eventually, communication breaks down and no one knows what we're talking about.

> Your own link [1] says "Ob/Gyn about $30,000- $35,000". The OP said "an Ob's ins CAN COST 71k a year" [emphasis mine] so doesn't sound 'flat out wrong' to me.

And that's in California, while a chart lower down shows doctors in New York pay 7 times as much on average, and $35k on average across all specialities.
> If you do not have positive "arsenal addition" suggestions to solve the essence of the problem I mentioned [...]

To the extent that you're still looking for the drop-in replacement you're going to of course be disappointed, this is why that Python hack doesn't do what you thought it did. Composition is what makes the higher level constructs worth having despite the fact they aren't drop in replacements and don't deliver the raw power of the simpler idea.

I encourage you to think about such higher level, composable, structures. You can imagine them as a library calling your more powerful primitive if you like, but don't be surprised if that doesn't turn out to be the reality.
Does anyone know if there's a tool like this that works on macos?
Multiple persons have answered in the reddit post confirming. And there is a plausible technical explanation in this HN thread (bad codec detection technique); yep this type of subject is quite usual, but this isn't surprising after all. Teams still does not support calls on Firefox for example: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1623340 (like Slack).

What’s to gain other than $400M in savings every year indeed?

If it drops all the way to the bottom line, that would boost their 2022 profits by 35% and 2021 profits by about 45%. Seems like a decision you have to consider, even with possible failure modes.
You write off the things other people care about as "pathetic" elsewhere (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31973526) in this thread, your point of view seems to boil down to "things I care about should be tailored to, and other people's cares are worthless", which yes, is pretty childish.

If i recall correctly you can pass through USB ports if needed.

Also given that serial/parallel ports are very simple you can often just write a driver or use the super powerful socat to massage things if needed. I once used socat to serve autopilot simulators that spawned on socat's socket accept and piped to actual serials. I could then serve serial over the networks. Really if I was a poet i would write an ode to socat

Anyway, peripherals were non the wiser on the nature of the piping. A bit of annoying plumbing but can be done and enables you to have scalable CIs for embedded devices.

I'm perfectly happy with Git. In the most basic uses, it's extremely easy, get git cola and you're done. The advanced uses are harder than they need to be, but not by that much. There's always google.

I wish it had native zip and sqlite support, I'd love to see issues and PRs more integrated, but that's about it.

It would be nice to have an unversioned sync directory in a repo, that could be updated without a commit and had no history, for implementing fast-changing stuff where history isn't critical, like stashing log files right on an internal config repo. But that's not exactly necessary.

I'm sure better things could be done. But would they be usable over ssh, no certs needed, as well as HTTP? Or would you need a domain name? Would they have decent GUIs? Would they still be decentralized? Would they have an equivalent to LFS? What features would they drop?

Would half the features be plugins so that every repo relied on a unique set of optional features?

I'm... not sure I'd like the kind of VCS that the current FOSS culture would like to make....

If people really tried to replace Git, could see multiple VCSes getting big at once. Git is pretty unique in how it is so popular, you probably don't need to know any others.

We can do better than git, but it's pretty unique. It's already a base primitive for so many things like package managers and notetaking. It's so deeply engrained in dev culture, it's almost like UTF-8, and I would hope whatever replaces it has that same property.

I think the easy solution would just be if the git devs themselves made a new first party front-end and added a few features.

There are lots of git frontends, that everyone ignores because you might as well just learn git, it's everywhere, but if some new git2 command was included and just as common, we could have a very smooth transition.
But why make it a "permission" then, if it is automatically granted? It should just be part of the regular API.
Hard to say for certain. Companies that size often have many very independent operations run by separate internal departments. I have worked places with internal, AWS and Azure operations underway.
This is an embarrassingly bad article.
Fujifilm - as you mention others have said. The standard Acros film simulation is incredible right out of the box. It even varies grain depending on exposure etc. to mimic real film. On top of that, there are tons of film simulation "recipes" that can tailer the b&w look to mimic specific film stocks. They are not overly expensive and you could also buy a used one from a few years back.
The title is catchy but the content is well balanced. It actually describe perfectly well my point of view.

Tiling already works well out of the box with regular window managers, without the pain that can come with tiling window managers.

Regular stacked window managers actually come with most useful features of tiling managers like tiling windows on the side or the corner, with the keyboard or the mouse (and since I have a bigger screen I use them more and more like this), while still allowing stacking when it's useful, or using the mouse when it's useful.

I wish KWin allowed to remove shadows when windows take the full screen but this idea has been rejected.
Almost all, yes. The people who don't are obviously not normal, so they don't need the website.
That's an interesting rationale. Does Microsoft make pessimistic assumptions about the capabilities of Windows clients due to the existence of Windows N?
Whatever the internet tells you about what is "standard"... as someone who has spent his life in New Zealand, I can assure you the majority of under-30s usually use "zee". "Zed" is on its way out.

It probably started with the popularity things like Sesame Street and Dragon Ball Z (Dragon Ball Zee).

However, interestingly, the one time everyone uses "zed" is when we acronymise the country name -- NZ, or N-Zed.
The basic idea is okay, but the practical implementation is terrible. There's additional overhead which slows down operations that need to touch lots of files, they've broken access via the standard file APIs while at the same time other Android APIs still only support standard files, the much touted media store mainly only caters for standard media file formats (i.e. images/audio/video), plus some standard "document" file formats, but good luck if your file type is too exotic (at least on my – admittedly somewhat older, though – phone even .EPUB files are already too exotic to be indexed by the media store), they've broken simple file sharing between multiple apps and effectively encourage apps to create their own private copy of such files, which is bonkers and for larger files unnecessarily takes up time and storage space, they've especially broken sharing multi-file file formats between apps (especially including the case of using a file manager app to browse through your storage and then directly open such a file in another app), …

I suppose the most common "regular user" scenarios sort of mostly work (except possibly for some performance overhead in some cases), but for more "power user"-like usage scenarios it's all too easy too run into all sorts of edge cases, limitations, and bugs that break your workflows.
Thanks, all my college notes are in onenote and I would love to get them out of there. Ill give it a shot.
Surprised there is no mention of IKEA. It's affordable, standard-compatible, and last time I checked, was among the most secure: partly because of the reputational risk for IKEA, (and also because it's the right thing to do!) they must keep it updated and supported for a long time.
> He did it by embracing financialization. GE was an industrial company when he took over — making most of its money selling appliances, light bulbs, power turbines and jet engines. By the time he retired, the company derived much of its profit from GE Capital, which was essentially a giant unregulated bank. Welch called it 'the blob' — it was an amorphous, ever-changing collection of financial assets, capable of delivering whatever adjustments were most advantageous to the parent company in a moment’s notice.

The finance division became GE's center of gravity, ultimately accounting for 40 percent of its revenue and 60 percent of its profit. With so much money coursing through the finance division, Welch used it to his advantage, shifting zeros throughout a sprawling international web of subsidiaries, and extracting whatever he needed to meet or beat analysts’ estimates for nearly 80 quarters in a row, an unprecedented run. It was what one influential analyst called 'earnings on demand.'

"There was very little transparency," said Beth Comstock, a longtime GE marketing executive. "GE had a financial army that was able to close the quarter the way we’d said we would."

And Welch pursued his quest to inflate GE's valuation with a gusher of share buybacks and dividends that fundamentally altered expectations about who is entitled to the riches of this land. After decades when corporations proudly talked about how much they were spending on payrolls, research and development, and even taxes, Welch made it clear that if companies wanted to succeed on Wall Street, they ought to put investors first.

The article explains this apparent contradiction. His sole objective was to increase share price at any cost, including derailing GE's core business and practicing all sorts of financial tricks. And the company collapsed after his exit, it is now worth less than before Welch took over. This is not what success looks like to me, even purely as a businessman.
I wrote and sell an ebook, "Design Patterns for Vue.js" [0]. I promoted it in several ways:

1. Twitter. My audience is pretty small.
2. I created a YouTube channel [1] and recorded some videos around topics from the book. I linked to the book in the description and mentioned it at the start of the videos.
3. I put a small advertisement on another free ebook I wrote that relates the same topic [2].

I've sold a couple hundred copies and made about $5k. And I get to say I'm an author!
