True, but even the most car-centric socities could adapt to a shortage of cars by means less drastic than a culling of the population through widespread famine and death.

People have created FUSE filesystems backed by SQLite before, but I don’t see how you’d get much unique value out of an RDBMS as filesystem if you’re only interacting with is through a traditional non-transactional byte stream API. Vendors

That seems fair. Presumably a flight from Rio to the US cost significantly more than $100.

Unless they make a point to always travel separately, this seems more like a variable bus factor between 1 and 2, just as the Presidency of the United States has a much lower bus factor during the State of the Union address.

Even so, "FROM t SELECT t.foo, …" has an ergonomic advantage over "SELECT t.foo, … FROM t" in that editors can autocomplete column names without needing to backtrack while editing. IIRC, this is why C# query syntax uses

Did the early proprietary CD-ROM interface cards that shipped in "multimedia upgrade kits" and on sound cards even support DMA? I know both DMA and PIO-only SCSI HBAs existed at the time, but I'm not sure about the proprietar

And you can use Wine or Crossover to run your app on the Mac. Better yet, build it for Windows 95, and it'll not only run under Windows, Linux, and macOS, but you can even package it to run in a browser[1]. For command-line programs, y

That sounds like a heavier-weight wrapper over the same system services they're using through systemd today. It could be useful if updating is a pain point. In this case, they may also consider Podman, as it has excellent systemd integ

If my 32-year old memory serves me correctly, TIE Fighter only supported VGA 320x200 256-color mode 13h. The system requirements on the box[1] claim MCGA support, which I'd expect to be technically correct since MCGA is just CGA plus

It's not cheap, but getting it legally is easy, and you don't need a VAR. Specifically, you can buy a single-seat Microsoft 365 E3 subscription directly from Microsoft for $432/year, which includes a license for a single user

Even games with strong anticheat could benefit from sandboxing, as the anticheat mechanisms that need access outside the sandbox represent a much smaller surface area for exploits than the entire game. In theory, sandboxing mechanisms could

As opposed to streaming video services, which, aside from the content they provide, have been shit from day one. While the web UIs suck compared to local media players, they work well enough that I can cope. But most services restrict 4K (a

A technology company that's profitably doing over $50 billion in sales after more than 100 years with no obvious signs of impending doom sounds like an okay position to me, even if the tables have turned since 1984[1]. [1] https:&#x2F

Who said anything about free? Advertising isn't the only possible business model. And profit isn't the only possible motive to provide a service.

Not really. For the most part, accessibility APIs provide programmatic interfaces to user interfaces, application APIs provide semantically meaningful interfaces to application functionality. A closer analogue would be AppleScript, or rathe

Do you want to do something that can't be done through AppleScript, macOS accessibility APIs, and something like Puppeteer to control the browser? Or something you don't understand how to do manually? Because I guess I don't

The nicest thing about this rush to find and build "agentic" endpoints for controlling everything is that there's no reason these same endpoints can't be consumed by deterministic, non-LLM software as well. It feels like

Historical auto design and technology is interesting. Two random tech examples: the first concept car with a back-up camera was the 1956 Buick Centurion; both Chrysler and RCA sold car stereos with record players in the '50s and '
