You sure it wasn’t a DX? The SX only came out in ‘88. Either way, that would be a hell of a high end system for that time.

In the early 90s (maybe '92 or '93) my elementary school had a program where we'd go to the computer room and email kids in another school. There was nothing else to do on those computers that involved the internet (no web br

Not sure why 2019 specifically, it's 2024. I think you also underestimate 1980s Israel - although there was a stock-market crash in 1983, it was not otherwise that poor- maybe more like today's Portugal or Greece than Venezuela. B

I don’t know where you were born and how old you are, but that situation was defiantly not usual when i was a child (born 1983 in Israel). If anything I think I’d need a startup-liquidity-event level windfall to be able to afford housing as

I don’t see where you get that definition. If you’re the one running the company, you’re the CEO. You may argue you need employees to be a CEO rather than a consultant but you certainly don’t need a board of directors.

On the demand side - but how would automation/AI/robotics impact the supply/production side (i.e. will we replace the unborn would-be new workers with new robots)?

It been a couple years since I was testing, but as a game developer I can tell you the performance difference is significant (altho I wonder if it’s due to driver quality or middleware being less optimised for android hardware). I believe i

It’s not “a big deal” if the user knows about, but the phrasing in macOS is maliciously bad - I sent a build from my machine to a coworker and when they “naively” ran it, the pop up that came up didn’t say “this program is unsigned” it said

I’ve lived in Berlin for the last 11 years and have never seen the phenomena you describe (I wish I had them in my neighbourhood!)

Unfortunately my experience with recent grads is that they were significantly less likely to be willing to put in a lot effort than more senior devs.

Life in a less dense city itself would be different (fewer career opportunities - despite remote work, less cultural opportunities, etc). Also kids become more independent earlier so we won't have to drive them everywhere as teens etc.

Both my kids were born in Berlin (now 6 & 8 years old) and we never owned a car. In some ways transit is even easier with a stroller as you can just roll into the subway/train instead of having the disassemble the stroller and put

Theoretically, but practically a lot of late 90s (and early 00s) games don’t run on modern windows.

Are you aware that the Kibbutzim have largely stopped doing that? Among other things it was found to be mentally damaging to the children. Even the ones that remained communal no longer have communal childrearing anymore. Some context: htt

GameMaker is also a good option, it even has a scratch-like visual programming language (but also a more conventional text based language).

Interesting! Does it differ in different languages? I assumed German Swiss will use the same system as Germany, French Swiss the same in French, etc.

I can't ask him what he meant as he died almost 20 years ago, but I believe he was speaking emotionally as a reaction to being attacked as a kid as well as some neighbours helping the nazis by turning over some people from his family t

My grandfather was talking about his childhood, before WW2. And I’m not at all surprised to know there are many Poles that saved Jews in WW2 - there are also a lot of Germans! I’m sure individually a lot of Poles were and are fine people. B

One somewhat weird aspect of it I encountered: my Polish grandfather (born in Łódź in the 1920s and fled as a refugee at the beginning of WW2) always told of how his experience growing up Jewish in Poland was that Poles were virulently anti

I'm not saying we should be fine with it, just trying to understand what "doesn't even pay that well anymore" mean practically. E.g. if other careers have gotten better compensated while programming has gotten worse, it
