This is the second part of a new multi-part deep dive into "Instant Graphics and Sound." IGS was a plain-text protocol for displaying vector graphics, animation, music and sound on Atari ST BBSes, which debuted in 1988.

This part profiles IGS creator Larry Mears.

A self-described “working man without a degree,” Mears was a shipping clerk for a local bakery, who often downplayed his own coding ability. “I am not an advanced-level programmer,” he once wrote.

Still, he enjoyed programming because it exercised his mind.

“My job takes care of the old back,” he joked.

Has Teams ever been good? From the first time I used it it has always been one of the worst pieces of software I use.

Office seems fine to me - not great software, but I haven't noticed any particular decline (not a heavy user, but have been using it since Word v2 in the 1990s)

And in any case what does this have to do with Typescript and the (over?) use of types?

- "Haskell fans seem to delight in making simple problems complex rather than complex problems simple."

Could be an observational bias. I think the silent majority are quietly using the simple, easy parts of Haskell to solve problems in simple ways, and aren't tweeting about it. Because it's boring.
Elixir looks great. It reminds me of the functional and pseudofunctional programming languages I used at uni and their environments like Poplog.

I agree it's mind-expanding.

But I don't think most web development work is mind-expanding or a realistic application for it.

I also don't think using it to criticise PHP is really the right target. If you want to use a functional programming language/environment as a critique of modern web development... maybe start by targeting server-side JS.

Outside of overclocking its very rare to see a failed CPU. Validation testing at the fab almost always catches the lemons and it usually takes special circumstances for one to degrade after fabrication. OC'ing with higher voltages is the most common culprit. The number of honestly bad CPUs I've seen in my IT career I can count on my hand. Intel's current issue is due to a manufacturing error and definitely qualifies as extraordinary circumstances.

Big tech PMs have been chomping at the bit to turn email from a chronological feed into a social media style algorithm for years.

Nobody wants this. Most people actively hate the idea of this. But there's way more money to be made from ads in an algorithmic inbox (where they control the priority of world communication) vs. a fully user-controlled one. You can bet Apple emails will always get the priority flag in Apple Mail! So inbox providers are going to be sneakily adding this kind of crap branded under the hype banner of "AI," and we're all going to be worse off for it.

Very few people pay for email, so you should be very very suspicious when a monopolist voluntarily rolls out "improvements" for you. It's far more likely those "improvements" will show up on their balance sheet than yours.
1) Okay, but in terms of getting shit done how is it helpful to people to learn two languages?

2) They aren't even arrays? How can you say that lol. If you haven't tripped over what I have listed I just cannot imagine how you have been using PHP. I ran into a multibyte encoding issue with Mongodb and Laravel last week for example. Just a few weeks ago the lovely json_encode a map was sometimes an array vs an object. Granted these are older laravel apps... I don't think a framework can fix these issues.

3) Great straw man! I am sure all PHP apps are beautiful things and their interactivity experience with the end user are perfect :)

Also speaking of over engineered, how is having to run a standalone web server along with PHP, and then having to have an entire JS stack as well not over engineered?

The "AAA" is a typo, they probably mean "AA777" for American Airlines 777[1].

What I Hated about working at Google [video]
You definitely gain a deeper understanding of software if you follow through. Of course, if you only do the learnyouahaskell.com tutorial there will not be much in there that couldn't be done in other languages. The real insights are not in the language itself (except for laziness and some other cool bits like levity polymorphism) but in the ecosystem of libraries and blogs.

As for the type system preventing you from bugs, I agree that it doesn't really live up to the promise.

I try not to begrudge anyone their enjoyment of anything, and I like jazz, for the record. It's good that we have a language for people who want to do Haskell-y things, and y'know, Pandoc is nice.

But this blog had an opportunity to make the case that Haskell innovations are trickling down into mere programming languages for squares (for the squares out there, if you don't like jazz, you're a square), and they offered two things which don't come from Haskell.

So I put it to you, Hacker News: what did the author miss? Where are the great Haskell innovations us mere programmers now benefit from?
Many years ago, I worked on a trading floor.

The legacy trading system (X Windows/Solaris/C++ based) was originally written in a time where market volumes were low so you couldn't have more than 10,000 orders (due to a limit on the size of the order id field).

As volumes increased in the late 2000's, there were days where we were in danger of running out of orders ids.

The fix? The system generated order ids 7 days a week even if trading only happened 5 days so we "borrowed" order ids from Saturday.
It's hard to take too much issue with the general argument. Seems like there are loads of examples of theories developed out of "pure" intellectual pursuits that found practical applications later on.

But I quibble with the broad inclusion of "jazz" in the list. I don't really like the idea that jazz is this never-ending process of avant-garde musical boundary pushing. There are these cults of personality around artists like Miles Davis and Coltrane, and at some point people decided that "easy-listening", "smooth jazz", and "elevator music" were the nadir of "cool", but those particular cultural trends don't necessarily define jazz as a whole. It's also reasonable to regard jazz as having a matured musical vocabulary that we can construct accessible tunes out of without pushing boundaries all the time. I suspect a lot more people do enjoy "lounge" jazz than would admit it.
Not quite. Tests are just a way to document your software's behaviour, mostly so that future people (including future you) working with the software know what the software is intended to do – to not leave them to guess based on observation of how undefined behaviour plays out.

That the documentation is self-validating is merely icing on the cake.

My college had a chain printer in "the computer lab" (obsolete now, but not everyone HAD a home computer then). The "joke" in the lab was to run a or write a program that printed a line of "-" or "=" with no newline so it would overstrike and eventually shear the paper, and often cause the printer to jam.

This was especially 'funny' on Sunday nights, when printed programs for courses were due before class on Mondays.

> possibly through tax credits or other benefits for depositing source code or playable copies with national archives.

How would that work in practice? You could play your game yesterday, but you can't play it tomorrow because the company shut off the servers. But fear not because your tax dollars paid for the executables to be deposited in an archive Ark of the Covenant style.

That might be satisfying with an oil painting. But games are meant to be played with.

Can one check it out and run it? Can one modify the game to keep it running on new hardware or operating system? Can one re-distribute those modifications to others? Can one pay for someone else to run the servers for them?
This could very well be the case. My observation is based on online writings.

Another perspective: shame can be good. Feel it. Shame for who you are can light a fire in you, can propel you into transformation. Shame for one's past self is normal, if one has undergone any growth, and in time one may forgive himself. But not now, not when you know yourself and you see all the ways you are lacking. Not when you are so wholly disappointed in your life that you want to end it. _Longing_ for a different life will not result in change. Shame, and deeply ruminating on it can. In time you will transform and can forgive the past self you are ashamed of, but not now in your time of desperate need.

The USB-C mandate is good, but the actual USB-C spec is not, with how confusing it became because now the USB-C connector doesn't tell you whether the cable is charge-only, USB 2.0, USB 3.1, USB 3.2 or USB 4.0. So everytime I grab a cable I need to test it and label it accordingly.

With USB-A and B, you knew at a glance at least which speeds it supported.

> actually not an issue in regards to toxicity as you cant import the china garlic

Well, import they did from what I heard. It was more of a smuggling operation than. The key was to smuggle small batches at a time and go through certain crossings where the officials are bribed. Then in EU it was presented as “locally” grown. But I definitely agree, buying produce at a local market you can’t always be sure. Growing stuff is hard and buying cheap stuff is too tempting. So some farmers found a “way”. Some more shady than others.

That depends entirely on the infrastructure necessary for hosting the multiplayer servers. Such as, does it require a database server for persistent storage of player information? It might be built for a k8s based environment. Split into many smaller services that all interact using a service mesh or message queue.

You cant just take these things, press a button, and voila, a small bundled server platform anyone can run at home. The modern day software development experience is a massive and complex beast.

It's irrelevant whether the costs are trivial. Once developers and publishers release the server binaries or API-spec, fans can invest as much time and money as they want to replicate it. They don't need to reverse-engineer it.
