I can think of one that was significant in the UK - the Amstrad PC1512, running off a NEC V30 processor, with 512KB RAM, easily upgradeable to 640K, with options for one or two floppies. I had one myself, along with a 32MB hard card fitted into the rear expansion slots.
IMO it depends - when you started this, did you have an idea of what you wanted from your customer? How much hand-holding, etc..., and how involved you were/are going to be after delivery of product.

If you want to know how this affects your ideal customer, if you have a customer and you don't mind talking to them, TALK TO THEM! Get their feedback, the good and the bad. I run a small startup in the food&bev space (2 people) and we have a couple of clients - and if there's a day where I don't talk to a customer or wholesale client, I feel as if it's a day wasted. If your customer likes you, or likes your product, they will have something to say, and it's important that they as your user feel like they can have an open line of communication with you. Keeping that line open and active is super important IMO....but that also depends on the scale you'd like to hit and how fast you want to hit it.

Also, what in your mind defines the success of the product?
Right you need to think about the queue wait time you are willing to tolerate, in addition the time it takes a job to run. If you arent willing to wait in queue then you will need to have idle capacity.
No, you're setting up a false dichotomy. YouTube asks you to pay for Premium subscription if you don't want to watch ads. You're bloviating about some kind of moral highground where all you really want is to avoid paying those 15$ the service asks you to pay to use it.
I'd argue that it probably also helps employees, since now there are multiple companies competing for their labor.

A single employer for sure depresses wages.
Every time I read something like this I am wondering if I am just missing out or using products the wrong way.

Sorry to anyone from SO reading this, but I have been using the site for.. probably 10 years (or how long it has existed) as mostly a reader and there are 2 features. Have the answer to my google search ready. (It's two and not one because I also need to find it)

Why the hell does this company even have so many employees? It's a forum and I've not used any new feature. Person A asks questions, Persons B-Z answer. Someone fixes the bugs, updates the dependencies and someone else keeps the hardware and network running.

I suppose it's me. I don't need exciting new features, I don't need growth, I don't need an experience. For my needs SO could be run by 3 dude(tte)s in a basement, and as long as it's profitable enough for them, all is fine.
YouTube Premium (bundled with YT Music) was a no-brainer when I subscribed given how much time my kids spent on YT.
I missed meeting him at the Edinburgh fringe by 20 minutes and I'm still dejected by that. In the era before selfies and tweeting was a thing, and serendipitous bumping into authors at book fairs was possible.

The federal laws do state that "possession of specific machine gun parts is considered possession of a machine gun"

Atlassian Data Center edition will continue to be supported. It is the same software as the Server offering but with a different product key unlocking some more features like multiple nodes. It is far more expensive than Server, but still cheaper than Atlassian Cloud. And I found the per-user pricing to be about on par with alternative products from other suppliers. But for small companies, the brittleness of the licence count tiers can really inflate the cost.
Modules don't have search paths unless you toss everything into one directory. The robust way is to instead do `-fmodule-path=modname=path/to/bmi` where ambiguity is non-existent. It is IFNDR to have two modules of the same name in a program (basically just a restatement of the ODR on the module initialization function). Due to the compatibilities, there may be more than one BMI for a single module in a build, but that module can only exist at link or run time once.
Can you or someone expand further on that? Which platforms are trying to use segmented addressing, and what benefits does it have?

Huh? Tons of languages at levels "higher than C" existed at that time C was created, and they were popular too.

LISP (1960), Smalltalk (1972), BASIC (1963), FORTRAN (1957), COBOL (1959) and countless others. Heck, ALGOL (1958, 1968) was much higher level than C too.
"My goal is to create the easiest way to enter transactions for those who live in the terminal."

Are you TRYING to make your life difficult? :)

How about a 'simple' spreadsheet, with Date, Amount, Currency, Shop/Vendor, and then 2-3 columns with "Necessary/Unnecessary/Junk", "BAU/Vacations/Work", and/or Town (to be able to calculate that your trip to Paris actually cost a total of X (tickets, hotel, drinks, etc).

I spent a lot of time trying to solve this for myself, and trust me when I tell you.. mkdir for transactions did not cross my mind at all :)

EDIT: with an excel spreadsheet you can then use Pivot tables to get meaningful data per-category-per-month so you can see side-by-side that groceries in June-at-home cost less than groceries in-September-at-home (and so on).

Forth is easy to make custom hardware for, even if it's a poor fit for the commonly available hardware architectures. RPN + Stack lends itself to a very simple implementation (no registers needed, easy layouting, etc.).
I see there is lot of dilemma in comments here regarding blocking ads.
blocking ads is not piracy, blocking ads should be norm. I am ok with seeing ads, until they don't track my behavior, they don't try to manipulate my decisions based on age,region,sex,location, earning status.
I am "ok" with ads shown in TV channels, because they show the same for all above mentioned categories.

let me make a simple analogy, how do you feel if a circus publicizes as free, has a billboard to show ads, and in background they hires a detective to follow your every move 24/7 , note down your interests/dislikes so they can show you personalised ads based on the interests. creepy right, That how i feel these companies do.

just because someone/company spent money and posted a billboard on public space, doesn't mean you have to read through it. It is the risk they assumed, just like youtube/creators made the decision to host videos for free on a public space. it is a bad decision from their part and they have to live with it and not gaslight people.

I hate to see youtube die, It is a wonderful archive for society. if you want you can buy premium/see ads so that society wont lose some thing valuable. but not because of creators/YT losing revenue.(that's the risk they assumed when they started the business).

and then there are people who say, you can turn off ad personalization, I did since last 5 years and you know what I see. Some Scam apps/NSFW ads content. and there is no way to report the ads unless I turn on ad personalization.

I would like to repeat statement from louis rossmann , don't accept the premise of the corporates when the premise itself is shaky.
Should you be scared of Unix signals? (2016)
My point is: 'authentic humans' are in short supply, we have the real ones instead and that's what we should deal with. How theoretically authentic humans behave in books of SF authors isn't going to make a huge difference if in the real world such role models are few and far between especially if we count on their numbers to make up the difference between their individual powers and those wielded by your average ruler.

That's why you can keep a society of millions under control with only a few tens of thousands of dedicated assholes.

Where are all the people telling us about the _new microsoft_ which loves open source now?

It's a huge company, don't anthropomorphize it. It hasn't changed, it's a system for maximizing profits, it does what some people in it determined to be most efficient for that goal. If saying it "loves open source now" on their websites to "befriend" and attract a new wave of devs is most efficient, then that's what it'll do. When the situation changes, it'll kill competition using any means it can get away with just like it always did.
Singlefile [1] works pretty well for me for that use case.

It has the added advantage that the file format is just plain HTML, and together with “reader mode” in most browsers, it’s a great way to save long-form text or other mostly static pages for later reference.

It obviously doesn’t work for very dynamic pages, let alone web apps.

People who decry graphical admin interfaces in favor of command line are missing the wood for the trees.

Sure, clickops is no way to run a server - but neither, if we’re honest, is ssh.

For a working machine, server state should be reproducible from scratch. Install an OS, add software, apply configuration, leave well alone. If you’re going in with ssh or cockpit you’re just going to screw something up.

So the only reason you should be working on a server directly is because you’re doing something exploratory. And in that case gui vs command line isn’t as clearcut as people want to make it. GUIs emphasize discoverability and visibility which can be helpful in that experimental phase when you’re trying to figure out how to get something set up right.
My first thought was, will this apply to basically all machinery? Because for about $2000 I can buy a mill kit that I can manufactur a complete firearm on.

Or, in my case, mildly entertaining. It felt like a lot of leftist proselytizing, or more likely preaching to the choir.

The humor fell flat, I guess. I didn't find it engaging.

As to "Why the Culture wins," it's because it portrays a worldview that the author wishes to advocate for, or at least not criticize. No more, no less.
I was thinking under the cross-platform desktop+mobile league sorry!
Obviously when you develop with OS-specific and with a form factor even an SDK so neglected as any linux GUI will be a lot more simpler, and if you face complexity there, it's an issue and not a natural consequence.
Furthermore, the classic complex JS front-end excuse is that forbes500 firms, for whom React and Angular have been made, face problems with access and speed in rolling features that probably only MMO games face, which for most of their history have been developed under Windows only.
I'm trying to parse your comment.

Are you being pedantic by suggesting cassettes aren't tapes? When colloquially in the UK at least cassettes were called tapes.

Plus both tapes and cassettes are streaming formats.

And other tape formats came along later for the pc market anyway.
> Right of computer owner to access public network resources

This misunderstanding is the basis of your entire argument: YouTube is not a public resource. It’s a private company providing access to mostly private content in exchange for payment under certain terms.

Currently they have the right to deny access as desired and even to pursue legal charges against people who don’t follow their terms. The only way to change the situation is to change the law, such as what some countries have done to limit the amount of tracking they’re allowed to perform. Client portability would be an interesting but challenging argument to make since they would have raise not only the past estimates of revenue lost due to unauthorized redistribution but now would almost certainly make the argument that creators need to be protected against unauthorized AI usage, too. I’d like to be proven pessimistic but it seems unlikely that we’re going to see much political will for IP reform with relatively little public demand.
I think we can all think of potential futures. I don't see why this one is particularly likely. Google has open sourced the guts of its browser so others can make non-Google controlled browsers, and they fund one of the two only real competitors to their browser.
That had nothing to do with the antitrust trial.
> I am ok with seeing ads, until they don't track my behavior, they don't try to manipulate my decisions based on age,region,sex,location, earning status.

How do they try to manipulate you? Appeal to you, sure. Not wanting them to have your data, absolutely. But manipulate?
>Why are we so dependent on GitHub?

Because a service like Github is an emergent property of a bunch of developers making similar decisions:

1) spend time & effort setting up a git on home server or Raspberry Pi -- or -- spend that time playing with my kids or riding a bike outside

2) spend $10/month for a shared hosting plan to run my git/Gitlab instance -- or spend $0 for a free account on Github

3) expose my self-hosted home ip address -- or find a networking workaround because my house is behind ISP NAT and/or I don't want to publicize my home ip address and keep it private so I use someone else's public network ... such as Github

Take variations of those 3 reasons and multiply it out by a million developers making similar decisions and you will inevitably end up with a "free automatically managed git instance in the cloud" ... aka Github.
Seamless Enterprise Deployment: MQTT Clusters with Inter-Broker Communication
Right. But this is about ChatGPT which is getting used more like a replacement for SO due to the lack of integration and the ability to answer questions.
Worth noting that every satellite and almost every cell tower broadcasts time at a much faster interval, not to mention NTP as the article states.
Slab is an excellent replacement for Confluence, although it doesn't help with Jira.
It is a very hard problem. I'd be concerned if there was a proposal.
Hey, thanks for the mention! UDisk, however, hasn't been open-sourced yet. Still considering it :)
This is not true. These causal methods generally require you to have a pre established framework for how the thing works. If you cannot supply additional variables that you, with your domain knowledge, know cover the confounding elements, it won’t do anything.

it’s Mathematical soup for trying to normalize out the effects of other variables to see what remains and calling it “causal”.
By that do you mean exposing a non-uniform memory hierarchy as separate addressable spaces (but with coherent views from each hardware thread) or something like thread-local scratch pads?

Either way, C is equipped ok for that - at least as well as most systems languages C++, Rust, etc. - simply because dealing with allocation and raw addressing (at least raw within the process memory space) is a fundamental part of the experience. Throw in a few compiler extensions (because you'll need to change the compiler to make use of this anyway) for things like where to locate static allocations and use library functions that add dynamic allocation in specific spaces. It will get hairy, but it's at least possible with some very careful programming.
NY Legislature: "Hold my beer!"
I think the "good news" for this law (not the is that those "New York gangsters" are more likely people who instead of making flimsy homemade firearms, might've otherwise been forced to buy random part X at price Y from company Z, the only people who ever manufactured and sold the part you need, don't do it anymore, have no interest in doing it anymore, and so costs exorbitant fees as they offload the remaining inventory, if they have any at all.

I just don't really see another really good reason for well paid people to be spending their time making a fuss about things that practically don't happen, especially compared to the ease of procuring a "real" firearm.

However it is seemingly pretty common for lobbyists to weaken consumer's positions even if it doesn't bring a tangible, concrete benefit, and seems merely...vindictive/petty.

Such a law makes sense in countries like the UK, where it is extremely hard to get a gun as a normal civilian. The guns produced by 3D printer can be fired a limited number of time, and a long car drive allows you to buy a gun legally in the US.

Agreed. I rather like Ubuntu MATE for this purpose.

It can be configured to have a windows-ish layout very simply with their tweak tool.

It kept my parents' old hardware running years past when it would have become unusable and unsupported on Windows.

I just bought them a new cheap Beelink for around £150. More than powerful enough to run MATE for occasional browsing, emails etc.

With youtube premium it's not like they stop tracking then selling what you do, you just gave them even more information with your paiement details ...

The tracking/advertising industry is a cancer, yes it allows some free content and remuneration but at the same times it kills competition from less established actors. Those actors can't just burn money to keep you there while they resell all they can on their own ad network.

So yes I'll block it and if it makes Youtube lose money then they will need to change their model and make it more hostile to users. Which can only help external platform such as Nebula and others grow.

And if those platform grows then creators might be able to leave Youtube.
SO doesn't have such ballots for a reason: SO doesn't want opinionated discussions. If you think that choice is wrong, SO is not going to be a good place for you. But there are very many other sites where you can have opinionated discussions.

Microsoft has always been full of marketing shitfucks. Like when they rebranded Lync to Skype just because and dumped a whole communication campaign on their paying customers just for one marketing goon's KPI.

But they get away with it. Nobody buys Microsoft because they're good. It's because they have so many fingers in the pie that you can't do without them. They know it and make their products just good enough to not be dropped in favour of something much better.

I think the title that the authors decided to give this article was unnecessarily provocative in a distracting manner. I’m pretty sure there is a technical definition of low level language they are referencing that excludes C, and pretty much only includes assembly as a low level language. Ok, fine, whatever.

Their bigger point seems to be that C is no longer very mechanically sympathetic to huge modern cores, because the abstraction pretends there’s only one instruction in flight at a time. Is anyone aware of a language that fits the hardware better? Maybe Intel needs to release a “CUDA of CPUs” type language.

This will limit the success of the product. That shouldn't matter if you're looking at this as a lifestyle business, rather than a giant SaaS company.

Another thing is: does your ideal customer for this exist and who are they? People who want analytics and ownership via on-prem, right? Go find those people and ask them, without describing your product to avoid biasing them, how they currently solve the problems your product solves.

If they don't actually care about analytics or on-prem, then you'll know if there's a mismatch in the definition of the product as you see it, and need to change to match those customers or another segment. Also are those customers even big enough operations to have someone who can set up on-prem, like you allude to. If not, time to switch it up.

All these people with heaps of money on the line in one of the most looked-at statistics published are… ignoring the problem?

No, they make money off the problem by computing better numbers internally. And there are countless papers out there criticizing the BLS for their shoddy methodology.

Funny someone else brought that up. That's "true" as long as you don't look at any of the details and don't read their publications.

They don't measure housing for one thing, and that's what we were talking about here. Only goods. They even show that services aren't well estimated at all. And even some categories of goods aren't. And they unfortunately ran at a time of historically low inflation. It's much easier to predict a number that is very low and has very small range.

So.. the MIT project is about the wrong category of goods. Computed in a totally different way by the BLS. Nothing in my post applies to it. And they explicitly show that they don't agree with CPI on categories like it (simply because their project isn't relevant to them).
Because it is not resource-constrained.
It's an artifact of how the measurement is made, as it accounts for insurance profits. While a good proxy in normal times, corona sent this measure into a wild rollercoaster-ride. However, it is generally a good idea not to change the method of measuring because you do not like the measures in the short term. The most important measure is the headline number (and MoM is more informative than YoY in these times), as it is the basis for actual politics. The headline number absorbs a lot of craziness in the underlying measures.
