Stupid question, once upon a time MySQL was considered the gold standard of relational databases. The fact that WAMP literally comes with MySQL installed on every domain registrar should say something but what caused its downfall? Was it the fact that it was acquired by a corporate entity?

Warcraft, not world of warcraft.

Warcraft release date: November 15, 1994

Although world of warcraft's release date was November 23, 2004 so the 20th anniversary is at the same time.
Hm... I don't get it. This seems like a fairly random link to some very old college comic archives. Is there context I am missing here like a death or something?
My first HF rig was an MFJ 40m CW kit that I built with the Bergen Amateur Radio Association. What a mighty fine group that was. I got some excellent mentorship, in amateur and other matters.

Thank you M.F.J.! you’ve left a legacy of fond memories with this last generation of radio amateurs.
I think you mean 20th anniversary year?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_of_Warcraft

It is 30th anniversary year for Warcraft as a whole though:

There are Federal programs you can apply for that will subsidize this cost. Otherwise, you're looking at roughly a 2~ year wait after being approved for the ARIN waitlist (max allocation size of /22 i think)
Agree that you "can't expect the glue to deal with the forces"

A good craftsman would not choose a joint that would see such high stresses.

Additionally if the glue is chosen and applied properly, the wood that the glue adheres to should fail long before the glue.

That said, glue is not as simple as it may seem. There are many different types and proper surface prep and application makes a huge difference to ultimate strength.

For example, many people will mix 2 part epoxy until it "looks mixed" which for a clear epoxy happens pretty quickly. In truth, the resulting bond strength is far more closely related to the amount of mechanical energy that has been transferred into the mixture than the visual uniformity.

Lots of ways to go wrong with glue... but a good craftsman should be well aware of these.
could you post the link? I'd love to watch :D

It will be "watching funny dance videos", because that is what they were calling about this time, because it's what they care about.

You might believe that the next thing will be, "let China take over the Senkaku islands", but if so, you have not been around children in several decades.
Well, I have to slightly correct myself here. Even if it's not a coil, it will produce Lorenz force. Any current carrying wire (or any conductor really) will experience a force in a magnetic field. Coil is just a special case of this where, by coiling the wire, the effect is multiplied by the number of loops. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_force#Force_on_a_curre...
It's about reciprocity. CCP does not allow foreign apps and services unfettered access to the Chinese marketplace.

The measures that we have to take to operate and deliver our services in China is insanely difficult resulting in a diluted experience for our customers.

Until and unless China learns to play nice in the global arena, they should likewise be forcibly shut out in terms of access to foreign markets for their products and services.
Or everyone is happy with the monopoly.

I have a ton of MFJ in my shack, and some MFJ hooked up to the radios I'm using on a daily basis; MFJ's loss will be felt in the amateur and public safety industries.

Edit to add:

Whenever I've had issues with one of their products, they literally walked me through disassembling and testing their products on the phone together -- and the staff there working the phones was knowledgeable, kind, and the type of folks you'd hear in the background at their tables/booths at hamvention and other radio-focused events. This isn't just a loss for everyone who uses MFJ, this is going to be felt amongst retailers as well as folks who are in that community. Their products were built well, tested to work, and rock solid: truly generational gear.

> It's just that there are more descriptive and neutral terms available to us, so why not use them?

"quick test" does not convey what is usually intended with "sanity test". The intention of the latter is to verify that a base set of assumptions hold true whereas "quick test" can be just about anything.
thanks for clarifying. I ready it the other way in that you make 8x but you feel you were doing no better at keeping up with the costs of living (e.g. you were on the same track before)

I read it that way because of this:

>my income has gone up 8x in 10 years and I'm still barely keeping up with the cost of things, barely any real savings, etc.
Exactly! Comedians aren’t funny when they have opinions. They’re only funny when they tell jokes that are carefully calculated not to make anyone upset about anything.
I feel like many of the older ones weren't made to be addicting. Certainly some became addicting, but more as a side effect. Many didn't have online portions and could be beaten a few times and moved on. The ones that did have online portions had some things making them addictive, but not on the same level. Now the games seem mostly focused on online multiplayer. They require immense time investment to unlock things or level up, or you can pay money for a shortcut. There are constantly new things being released that you have pressure to buy or be left behind. It's very much designed to be addicting now, even if the game play, story, and social aspects have gotten mostly worse.
Some clubs have awards you can work toward, ARRL has a bunch [1]. SKCC [2] and NAQCC [3] have some for folks who like to work Morse code/CW. I'm sure that whatever aspect of ham radio folks are into, there is wallpaper you can earn while doing it.

He was trying to sell the company. The scuttlebutt is he declined an offer from DX Engineering, which is a shame because that would've been perhaps the best match.

Understatement of the century. Mighty Fine Junk -- it's been a looooong time since I've wasted any money on MFJ rubbish. Life is too short.
I don't disagree and I usually don't like the security argument for tools like docker compose, that's why I highlighted the features and improvements to docker more than security itself :) .

It's just nice to have actual upstream bug fixes to an actually recent version instead of random backports and patches especially for a tool like docker. It's also nice to have the much improved tools of docker 20+.

Plus, you literally get everything that's nice from Debian too. It's like Debian but with a different package "profile". Debian is perfect for some use cases but Ubuntu is great for others.
It's hackernews. I would recognize that this is in a joking manner
Hahahaha! :)

I mean, if you told me you were doing a defensive driving course i’d be like hell yeah!

You know that would keep your skills sharp, and the accidents would be a result of those stressors.

Haha. I suppose the obvious difference is a car “accident” depending on how controlled it is could kill you. Whereas a handful of cigarettes is not going to kill you.
I wonder if this is partly because there has been a significant backlash from gamers against various big studios for everything from terms of service dark patterns to digital games being shut down or deleted to controversies around woke editing of games by groups like Sweet Baby. With Blizzard I know many people angered by forced terms of service.

I remember looking at MSDOS binaries with hex editors and seeing "MS Runtime Library", like many tools were written in C -- may be my memory is completely failing ... but probably MSDOS 5.0 included many utilities written in C? I used 5.0 with a 386, circa '93.

Wow. I was reading MFJ ads in ham radio magazines since the early 80's. Didn't even know that they were still around.
Really? You need widespread exposure to build your immune system. That’s what I thought. Haha

Though truth be told, I did read your comment as sarcasm, supportive of my position or humorously mocking the outrageous comparison example of car accidents ha ha

Seems like many games require a connection to the server, even for solo play, or it's a download only. There's no market for used games since physical copies don't exist. There's only so much download space, and the game sizes are getting absurd in many cases.
It depends on what you want out of retirement. If you are making 200k in a high cost of area, your home will be worth several million.

That's where the retirement money went. If you expect to be able to die without tapping the retirement account, you will have a problem. You need a reverse mortgage or to sell out and go back to renting.
I personally wouldn't want a robot running a million times faster than a human down the side walk. The argument that it's running just like a human runs isn't convincing to me.

Interesting. Personally I believe people should have total freedom to change governments, but I'm a utopian thinker so /shrug though I wonder in such a world whether you'd feel the same way. "Too Like the Lightning" explored this if you enjoy sci-fi.

I'm hung up on something though - in this specific subject, there's been massive market capture in the USA by one to four ISPs, depending on region. For most of rural america (something insane like 80% of the geography) there's only one provider. In these situations, the provider provides subpar service, often asking for handouts from the government before being willing to build more infrastructure (hm.. is that still "private?").

On the other hand, some local governments have simply built their own broadband networks, with far better results: https://communitynets.org/content/community-network-map and they have some of the highest satisfaction ratings in the nation https://www.consumerreports.org/electronics-computers/teleco...

If the private market is better, why does Comcast, which routinely wins "worst company in america" awards, still exist, despite providing abysmal service to its customers? Surely a private enterprise could have eaten their lunch by now?

If the private market is better, why are local governments providing the highest rated internet services in America?

So basically, your feeling rests in the belief that you have more choice when it comes to private options - but in telecom, that doesn't seem to be the case, and of the options available, they're all widely considered to suck. Perhaps this isn't true for every industry, Stalin and Mao certainly showed us that it doesn't work for food, but does that mean the private option is better for everything we use? What does it mean to have a "private highway" system, or a "private fire department?"

> Some of those challenged ballots in San Mateo County had illegible or no postmark dates and Assistant Chief Elections Officer Jim Irizarry said they were waiting on information from the U.S. Postal Service

With small margins, an election could come down to how people read a smudged postmark. It might not be an issue, but you won't know who "really" won, either. It depends how you count it.
We had no milk for a week in the 1970s.

The driver of the road train bringing groceries up the west coast highway flicked a cigarette out the window that blew straight back in and into his eye causing him to over steer a roll a prime mover and two trailers.

You're correct that it didn't kill him, but it was a close call that could've gone that way.
yep, Ive seen it in SF. More often the case at hardware stores/home depots.

Laundry detergent is actually a really common item for resale, maybe because everyone uses it. You will see people with 40 gallons in their cart and you know they aren't paying.

Its not a fun experience.
I was always amazed that back in the 2000s when the PT Cruiser (and to a far lesser extent the HHR, SSR, and Prowler) showed there was a market for retro-cool cars, they didn't resuscitate the El Camino nameplate. It's iconic and distinctive.
Eh. It might be a part of it, but the hobby just lost its luster. It used to be this magical way to connect with friends and strangers. Now, cell phones and the internet make it a lot less magical.

Other aspects of the hobby aged poorly too. The ham community (and the regulators) were slow to embrace use cases that might have been interesting to younger people in the 21th century - say, mesh networking. Instead, the kids were supposed to follow in the footsteps of the old-timers and get excited about slow-scan TV, RTTY, and collecting QSL postcards.

Frankly, I don't know of any other hobby with a comparable amount of gatekeeping. It sucks because the increasingly idle spectrum will eventually get auctioned off for commercial use.

People with this viewpoint seem to forget that Congress often granted these agencies these powers, or at least, were vague enough in their definition to allow it to plausibly happen.

It's also worth noting that many of the people who demand that Congress do these things instead of bureaucrats are saying that in bad faith; that is, they don't want it done at all and know Congress can't possibly come to an agreement on it because they're the same people funding the campaigns of representatives who go out of their way to sink the legislative process.

There is a wide range. In the US, the ARRL (arrl.org) handles the majority. There are awards for “worked all states”, “worked all continents”, and so on. There are various contests every weekend. There is “Parks On The Air”. It’s called radiosport these days. You could join the ARRL and hook up with a local group for guidance - the addresses are on the website.

All news media has a bias, it's literally impossible to serve a finite news set and not exert some editorial control. However, if you describe a news site as (very political ideology) I think it's fair to consider it slanted.

I regret not being able to go to any of the Fountain Valley Fry's midnight releases that were hosted by the Blizzard dev teams. I wasn't even in high school yet when those were still being held. In hindsight, I think my mom would have been willing to take me to one if I had asked. It was a ten minute drive from home.

I was really sad when that Fry's closed down. Nearly all of my PC gaming purchases came from there and the ACP Swapmeet up until 2006 or so, when I switched to Steam, so it felt like losing a part of my childhood. I haven't visited the location in a while, but I'm assuming it is still empty and fenced off.
Since you asked, a genuine answer. I suspect it's because Ben Collins is a veteran of the left-wing "disinformation" beat, most recently for MSNBC until he lost that gig -- so the admittedly cryptic parent comment is positing that as a seasoned culture warrior, Collins will likely apply The Onion as a tool in the culture war.

The Onion's comedic point-of-view used to be less predictable, but as the culture war as progressed, so too has The Onion's voice, and it's a more reliable voice for the left these days. If you rue that trend, for whatever reason, Collins provides little reason to imagine things will change.
You don't understand the issues me as a blind person has with it? OK I have to upload a government ID every time I want to use an internet service. That's stupid. It's also considered a general warrant, and I thought we did away with those long ago.

Fun. You could also try putting the data into Google's data studio (now looker) to visualize them in an interactive map you can publish. Add things like size of dot corresponding to number of attempts, add reverse DNS/whois info to the info bubble, etc. Wonder how much came from residential vs business ip space.

OpenDOS isn't open-source, its source-available. The license reads more like trial software:

"Caldera grants you a non-exclusive license to use the Software in source or binary form free of charge if your use of the Software is for the purpose of evaluating whether to purchase an ongoing license to the Software. The evaluation period for use by or on behalf of a commercial entity is limited to 90 days; evaluation use by others is not subject to this 90 day limit but is still limited to a reasonable period"
In theory, if people don’t perceive corporations as improving their well-being, they will stop being customers. Also in theory, if people don’t perceive governments as doing so, they will vote in different politicians.

In practice, both effects exist, but are not perfectly efficient for lots of different reasons. That’s why neither Stalinist planned economies nor right-libertarian total lack of regulation work well overall, and the correct approach is somewhere in the middle and different for different sectors (and different countries).

Are they the most reliable? Eh no.. but that’s also half the fun of ham radio… fix it yourself. Now, if I had just purchased a DOA 2kw amplifier maybe not but ;)
