MS-DOS had TSRs (terminate and stay resident) programs, but those aren't exactly the same thing. I do recall some basic multitasking utilizing them in some way, though. My memory is too fuzzy.

MS-DOS 4.0 had a multitasking release, but it was not popular and only available through retail channels. IBM didn't want it so there were OEM MS-DOS releases of 4.0 that didn't have multitasking, and that's what you got when you bought an IBM PC. This meant it didn't get a lot of support and was discontinued after MS-DOS 4.1. If it sounds like a mess, it's because this was all when IBM and Microsoft were not very happy with each other, which is kind of why everyone mostly jumped from MS-DOS 3.3 (IBM and MS mostly cooperative) to MS-DOS 5.0 (MS independent).

DOSSHELL supported task switching, but only one process could execute at a time, and all tasks had to fit in memory.
Please don't strawman my argument. The idea was that I don't have access to the raw assets used to compile the book, not necessarily that I want to contribute to it. Say I want to fork it.

I liked the new add to playlist feature, at least on my iphone. I press it once to like the song and double press it to add to a playlist using a checkbox on a menu, and I can choose to take the song out of my liked playlist on that menu. This eliminated a few clicks and is easier while driving. Intuitive and easy to use once I recognized what they did.
This won't work for:

1. Larger than word size variables

2. Out of order CPUs

3. On multicore CPUs when another core handles the signal

Atomics must be used here for proper synchronization, when they are available. If not, architecture-specific mechanisms should be used.
> if you run a logo design business and A makes the logos that satisfies 10 companies and B makes the logos for 1 company that is a pretty direct business outcome

There's a flaw with equating this to # of commits or lines of code. That flaw is - the amount of revenue increases with the number of logos produced but the amount of revenue does NOT increase with the # of commits or number of lines produced.
Makes sense, the French have a strong open source community and I believe the creator is French.
It's actually pretty common and one of the hurdles of getting comparable data.

An anectode from an Amartya Sen book: Uneducated women in rural India, when asked anout their health status, effectively said everything is fine. After getting access to better healthcare and health education, self reported health scores went down. Classic case of unknown unknowns: The women didn't know that live actually could be better than what they experienced so far.

The same is true for this discussion: I'd wager that thanks to Hollywood and world news coverage, the average citizen of a small EU country like Norway has (or at least thinks they have) deeper knowledge of live in the US than the average US person about live in Norway. So the Norwegian, when asked about their own happiness, can position themselves in context of this knowledge.
Agreed, Stimulus is so simple that there's almost no prerequisite other beyond a basic understanding of HTML and javascript, both things that any "React developer" and even most "backend" web developers should already have.

Maybe I'm biased but I feel like rails + stimulus makes it incredibly easy for anybody with any kind of programming background to grok the entire project, and maybe you can reconsider even even having dedicated "frontend developers" at all. I know that specialization is a thing, but it's just so easy to be a "full stack" developer on such an app that I think almost anybody could pick it up.

You're hearing from people who had negative experiences and allowing it to color your perspective of the experience of, like, well over 1,000,000 (? I don't really know, just spit-balling here) people who currently collectively work for these organizations. That's kind of short-sighted, right?

So don't use it to do any operations which require you to absolutely trust the smartphone?

When it comes to interacting with the government, security is often more important than convenience. Having people go to their local police station to scan their card on a secure terminal is definitely worth it for high-profile operations.
Time passed slower back then.
You can work around this issue by curling your index finger tightly so it forms a tiny hole near the 2nd knuckle and looking through that. What you've got now is a makeshift pinhole camera that should fix any "smearing". It'll also help you see clearly at a distance without glasses!

No but each version of L2E OS has a name. v0.1 is the first version and we wanted to pay our tribute to Terry A Davis, so called it TempleDOS and added a bit of TempleOS references.

Definitely! There's probably some mystical mechanism making sure newbies go through it.

I consider myself an "experienced" developer, yet on the first day on my current gig I dropped a '--recursive' flag in an AWS command and deleted a bunch of stuff I shouldn't have. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Speaking from an American food perspective, my family avoids grocery stores and unhealthy processed foods. We receive almost all our food directly from farms and fishermen, the other products we buy wholesale from smaller companies that emphasize quality and lower added costs. For example, a 25 kg bag of oats for $60. We've substantially improved our quality of life and lowered our costs. Like with many areas within American society, the quality is there if you're willing to figure it out.
I'm a bit of a broken record, but I will summarize my experience as someone who builds a lot of Rust web services as:

1. My overall experience with async is very positive

2. There are tricky bits where even I, an experience borrow check wrestler, don't know what to do - I just refactor the code to avoid the issue in these cases. This is not a very common situation, it has only occurred in 'free time' code where I'm trying to really optimize my code.

3. I am overall very optimistic about the future of async in Rust, even if today it requires some onboarding time.

I'm excited for things to improve. There are ergonomics wins coming soon like async in traits, there are improved compiler diagnostics, expansions of what can be done (to address my 'zero copy' use cases), etc.

Perhaps it's bikeshedding but I hate the `= async` quite a lot.

I'm curious to see how things develop from here in the next 3-5 years, as I imagine we'll see some significant improvements to the existing system.

I mean, it can, to some extent: By only accepting attestations from an opt-in list of devices that the scheme operator has validated to be sufficiently secure.

That approach has a lot of downsides, obviously.

Unfortunately, what I'm often seeing is a "worst of both worlds" type of solution: There is a list of trusted (used as a proxy for secure) devices, but it's generated in a pretty arbitrary way.

My government actually requires FIDO attestation in such a way, but for the longest time, the only trusted hardware authenticator was by a company I've never even heard of in this space – Yubico was not considered trusted.
Thank you for thorough analysis of the situation. It is sad that my PoV is depending on some advertisers' will and some algorithm which is so easy hackable for the big players.
First off, I use FFP3 instead of FFP2 because FFP3 masks usually have a strip of foam that sticks to your skin all around the mask. This means all air breathed in or out is forced through the filter of the mask, preventing fogging of the glasses.

These strips stop adhering to the skin, and in turn let air through, when they're soaked in sweat, so you'll have to swap masks somewhat regularly if you're physically active (e.g., volunteering at a chaos event — we still need Engel!)

Second, I use masks with two straps, both going on the back of your head. This prevents the mask from pulling on your ears, improves positioning and decreases the chance of the mask slipping.

I personally can recommend the 3M Aura, the Dräger FFP3 masks, and the JFM04 from Siegmund
To be honest, as a German I have no idea where this increase in productivity is supposed to have occurred. My experience and intuition is that Germany is suffering from a rise in lethargy and inefficiency ("German efficiency" is a meme that's utterly outdated and inapplicable, at least in my sector, IT).

I'd be happy to learn about concrete and representative information that balances my perspective but I have yet to see it.
I know a lot of people who couldn’t be described as leftists in the German makerspace scene, even in the CCC itself.

If you are rabidly right wing (AfD, for example), then yes you will be shunned. But if you are a normal decent person you will be fine.

Not disagreeing, but that's the end of anonymity.

But yeah, maybe the idea that you can even 1% trust random content on the Internet without having a source doesn't really make sense if you think about it IMHO. Either you do this web of trust, coming from a well know real world source, or be Wikipedia-like with linked reliable sources for the viewer to check.

By the way, wasn't this how Google ranked pages back in the day? Ranking pages that get linked to higher? And even before that there were P2P web rings.
I suppose I should just say "any sourced file counts against the length limits".
Maybe other people listen to way more music than me but I’ve never had this come up for me.

At the very least I’ve been able to find the album on a digital store (“the old fashioned way”) or Bandcamp.

I’ve had a grand total of one album from Japan be steaming-exclusive and I managed to import a CD for like ten bucks and rip it the older fashioned way.
> But this was my point. Because the health/survival of the Canadian economies requires that rate of immigration, that's what we do. But its on the provinces, not the feds, to manage housing & municipal issues.

But the provinces do not know ahead of time what needs to happen. The feds simply announce a number for the next year or so and then everyone else has to scramble. If the feds say that X people are coming, but you can only build X/2 units because that's all resources (trades, land plots) available, how do you suddenly get new capacity?

If we need X people to come in for a health economy, but can only handle Y<X, then we do not just let X people, we build up to being able to going from Y to X.

Nothing partisan about it:

> Up until 2015, Moffatt said, Ontario had a well-functioning real estate market, but changes to federal immigration policy under then Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and that have been expanded by Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, increased the amount of newcomers to Canada.

More people arrived than could be handled because there was no prior preparation.

Yes: lower levels of governments need to up their game. But the upper levels can't just steam roll them and hope for the best: everyone needs to get on the same page on what's presently possible and then what's needed for the future.
iPod was only released in 2001, though, and the idea to make a PMP only really got steam in 2000, with much of the work only happening after Fadell was urgency is how Apple got to contract out much of the work, even he was initially contracted before getting fully hired when his proof of concept got the nod).

I would say most startups are guilty of this, though they don't attempt to formalize the measurements.

At least from a few places I've been recently, "productivity" is viewed as the number of PRs you push through. QA of any sort is viewed as a waste of time, and it's far better to just push a PR today then take an extra day sanity check your work. On top of this user facing, demo-able, code is much more important than any back-end or infra work. This means the priority is rapidly releasing 90% of the way done products/features and moving on to the next thing.

Heck if there's a small bug in the code you just shipped (and of course releases are nightly because that's how you show that you're really moving) all the better since it means you get another easy PR when someone else discovers it.
>but Duterte both openly criticised the US and tried to get closer to China

Yes he did for a moment before completely reversing course.

Pakistan's various leaders on the other hand have criticised the U.S far more harshly and far more persistently over the years. They have also had close relations with China for decades.
Yes, I get you, I also sometimes run into tiny issues when I try to shape the things how I want to be. That's why I kind of abandoned this mindset, and use as many defaults as possible. If I use KDE, I'd use the default file browser etc. I'd use the default functionalities and shortcut provided... I still run into some annoying issues (like, can't properly write with the korean characters).

For apps that "should" run on Windows (game, game dev, or other stuf), I'd just boot Windows yeah. Honestly it's so much time gained in just running the stuff how it's intended to be. As a bonus, I think it forces your brain to "adapt" to the stuff you have in hand (which sadly means that yeah, you won't be a power user most likely)

I know some folks (all Senior+/Staff level) who worked at Amazon and, while they would never say they loved it, they also won't say they hated it. The common denominator they all share is that working there had such a deep impact on how they operate today that they would absolutely work there again, even knowing what they'd be walking into.

I would never work there, personally. I will (and have!) walk from any employer who regularly demands more than 40 hours a week out of me.
There are lots of computers with touch capabilities out there.

From the gesture support on Apple’s trackpads to touch screens like the Surface (and plenty of other laptops with touch screens).

There are also stylus inputs and things like Wacom tablets that have been around for many years now.

I'm sorry I can't understand if your rhetoric here is saying that I really don't want to defeat them, or if none of us should want to.

At least for the first one: I definitely do! "Defeat" is maybe a little clumsy, and its less wanting to squash AI itself (for one thing, because this new stuff isn't really "AI"), but rather what it represents and who is going to use it, or even right now, who is going to use the bare idea of it to hurt workers and demoralize us in general. The whole hype train is a big jumping of the shark of an already fraught and misguided industry. An industry propped up by senseless financial instruments and false ideals of technological determinism. It is no good!

If you really can only see this whole argument as only a pure black and white dilemma, that either this guy is a "programmer" and AI is good || this guy is definitely not a programmer and AI is bad, then I would urge you maybe to invite more nuance into your thinking. But also not a big deal! It's more important we are on the same side about the big stuff, then whether we agree about words. Which was kinda my whole point all along!
> > Model.objects.filter(...)

> Its called a manager. I understand you don't like to type 'objects', it fits in the rails culture of being allergic to redundancy, though I can't really empathize with it.

The point it that the objects method adds zero information to the statement. However it's an opportunity to add a soon to be discovered bug when Django crashes because one forgets to type .objects

They should have made filter a method of all model classes and of the models.Manager class. Same thing for all its sibling methods.

Excellent, they kept the SMI bus, which I was afraid would disappear when they started to make their own silicon.

If you have an FPGA, it’s trivial to implement a fast, high-bandwidth, low-latency, pi-as-master, bidirectional bus with (supported, even) DMA into user-space over SMI (secondary memory interface). You will lose basically all your GPIO if you go with the normal 16-bit interface, but hey, you have an FPGA…

100%, I have family from Russia who often cannot comprehend the cultural workplace nonsense endemic to America.

Meanwhile, to me (guy from Midwest), the maneuvering and relationship management is second nature. Exhausting at times, yes, irrational, always, but in most cases people just want to get things done, and IMO simply being patient, present and available to reduce friction for all involved goes a long way towards success in your chosen field.
No no, after. We had decisively won but Bush wanted to keep us in for political points.
Is there anything in the design of UDP that constrains what QUIC would have wanted to do? If it used a different ID in the IP packet, would it really change anything about the UDP headers?

I would say UDP is such a simplistic protocol you can actually see it more as a protocol-building framework than a layer in-and-of itself.
> what does the mass of an entire mountain condensed into a single pebble mean

I find it easier to comprehend in the subatomic context, picturing the space between particles like the space between stars and planets on the cosmic scale. Mash all the stars and planets together in, say, our solar system, and the entire solar system would only be about the size of the sun. Then repeat that for all the solar systems in the Milky Way, and the entire Milky Way would only be about the size of the black hole at the center. Relatively, of course!

The change he wanted to make, that he'd made to the prior printer, was to shoot off a message to anyone with jobs in the print queue when the printer jammed because that was the quickest way to get it fixed.

I'm amazed xerox didn't think of this usecase themselves, unless they expected the printer to be attended all the time. In hindsight, it's good that they didn't.
I think they may mean because star patterns are not fixed so it never existed in that form at that time. Constellations as imagined by humans change surprisingly quickly but to humans and our short lifespan they seem to be forever.
I mean it is. I’m contesting it. So unless you have some quantifiable data it is in contention.

I like ICQ. I used it. But I really just don’t agree it had “more” features. It had _different_ features. And those features are just kinda wildly different because of how business and the internet had changed. I just really do not think it is a useful point to try and imply is a weakness of slack somehow.
The last available booster shot in many places was the third shot, way back in I think 2021.

That’s “the most up to date and available booster” in many countries.

Who knows but saying that a western liberal democracy is the yardstick for governing all people is very flawed - look at Afghanistan - it imploded overnight once the US pulled out.

>Right, Assange is the problem, not the US military operations he exposed.

It's only clear that civilians were intentionally targeted by ISIS and AQ. It's also true that civilians who opposed Western military forces were killed. That's expected, because opposing a military force is an official enlistment.

Assange is the problem. You don't get a peace prize for aiding in civil rights oppression.
