I'm kind of amazed in retrospect how readily they adapted a late 80s game into a mid 90s MMORPG - and it looks almost exactly the same. It wasn't until the first expansion pack I think, that they added better/real 3D isometri

Or the CMP line will actually fit the needs, and no need for games of whack a mole.

Maybe, but I see what they mean. The real life analog is just social/cultural pressure which is usually relatively local and personalized. Online and with the general risk that your entire diary gets opened up - folks are cautious abou

Some other things: bought the team Minecraft and hosted a server for happy hours. It was fun but fizzled out. I think that’s ok and folks should get used to rotating ideas. We did a happy hour using Drizzly - if your team drinks it’s a nice

Hah nope, I ended up just googling a bunch of list spam and it had a similar effect, I just assume a book might be better curated :)

It’s definitely a gift. A year ago I also got my team raspberry pis and tried to get them more into tinkering with Linux without being afraid of taking down our infra :) You can definitely leave the company you founded, the last two compani

A few of the things we've done: - virtual murder mystery (two people on the team wrote it all up, it was intense, but I think you could buy a good package) - drawing apps online we use https://skribbl.io but the ads are ted

Many sites didn’t do this right even large ones and often browsers if my memory serves right automatically put www and .com on any single word typed by default. That said yes, that should have worked, I just remember it not working enough t

Should add that as I understood it the business model was that sex.com resold front page space to affiliates that were relevant to the search terms that led to their paid listing being listed higher for a particular keyword. That’s how they

Put into perspective that the dot boom happened around 1999-2001 and the dot bomb set in hard by 2003. Between 1996 and through that roller coaster people went through a lot, and since then there have now been two financial crises in the US

This is somewhat second hand but I worked with someone who claimed to know the person who owned sex.com (he was trying to buy it from him at the time, and I'm trying to be deliberately un-assertive) in the mid 90s (also fair warning, t

I am not qualified in any way to answer that question, but my amateur opinion is that as long as we are still so tribal as to have a number of different governments all serving different priorities, we'll never see humanity advance bey

You can buy directly from their site now to get one after the KS is fulfilled. Edit: I guess it says sold out now but I had heard on the Facebook group it was possible to still buy so maybe check there or their forums.

Oh for sure. Though I’ll say if you had a ominous beating sound chasing you in a small room you’re going to leap into a wall not to get hit :)

This is neat, when I was in college I was obsessed with making audio only games with Allegro as a game library and basically just used trigonometry for spatial audio. One of my games was a techno song where each part of the track was an NPC

I anticipate these reports every year and have strong trust in the data - I want to make that clear - Backblaze has done a massive service to the entire industry by collecting and aggregating this kind of data. I'm really super curious

I was specifically thinking of the SKUs - I assumed they were using faster disks rather than high volume disks that make trade-offs for costs. Just assumptions on my part - and I am mostly curious for more data, but given the historical tre

Yeah hard to say, I assume the diversity of their customers and normal distribution should statistic those patterns out but I have no clue :) I also wonder if failures are relating to physical location on disk vs other things like controlle

I’m just assuming that folks doing archival storage aren’t using these kinds of spiny disks as it would be super expensive compared to other mediums, right? I do think access patterns in general should contribute to the numbers so that kind

I was wondering if the state of the world in 2020 might have dramatically changed their business / throughput / access patterns in a meaningful enough way to cause this dip. I'm not sure if they have a measure of the disk uti
