Research doesn’t show the government providing cheap or free money doesn’t inflate prices? We’ve just lived through four years of insane government spending correlated with the highest inflation in over 40 years. This is an experiment that

If they don’t take it out and use it (or at least don’t get caught using it), what’s the problem? If they’re using a phone in class, take it like any other distraction. I have four kids in school and while extreme incidents are rare, if I s

Maybe Overwatch seems to exist solely for Blizzard/Microsoft to screw up, but it seems odd that they seem to be constantly on the verge of shutting down OWL, despite it being a top 20 Twitch game. They got so much right while creating

I suppose I would like to be as unsuccessful as that.

Your comment above was that it is a glibc function, which is true, but it’s there for reason. It’s also a libc, musl, uClibc, and Windows Sockets 2 function: because it’s defined in POSIX 1.1 and extended in RFC 3493. I have no opinion on w

That’s incredible! I remember one of the first times I used the Internet and opened my local radio station’s website from several states away. It was incredible to me that it worked and I also wondered why anyone across the country would ca

getaddrinfo is defined by POSIX and UNIX. Where the implementation is doesn’t matter. It’s portable, which is why it’s used. The slide deck referenced above talks about better implementations for various platforms, but they are all platform

At least in Sonoma, Screen Time requests crash Messages, fail to work properly on iPadOS, but work fine on iPhone. Now I can approve requests without having to dig my phone out my pocket. A small convenience, but I can’t expect them to fix

PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX,… how many times does someone “win the lottery” before it’s not actually chance? Not saying anyone can repeat it, or a random IC could leave and succeed, but that space seems ripe for disruption. (Maybe not passenger p

I was probably one of the few who enjoyed Mason and still think the aggregator framework was great. We implemented a work-a-like in Java on Prime and it worked great there as well. It was effectively GraphQL before GraphQL, but local and re

There is no PHP at Amazon (at least not 2009-2016). It was evaluated before my time there and Perl Mason was chosen instead to replace C++. A bunch if that’s still appears to exist (many paths that start with gp/) but a lot was being r

Yeah, there’s not much hope of anything anytime soon. Between Analogue and Polymega I’m covered for those generations.

I put off buying one when they were cheap because it was already old enough to assume it would be replaced. Then nothing replaced it and the prices doubled. Now that the prices are reasonable again, I look at it and think, something better

Are you referring to Taiwan as independent and sovereign? Had the PRC pursued ROC 70 years ago, this conversation wouldn’t be happening. China certainly sees Taiwan as belonging to it. It would be like saying Catalonia is not Spain (many th

I was on employee plans until recently. I knew I would eventually need private health insurance and watched it for 5-10 years, during which ACA took over. For most, premiums rose and coverage fell. Maybe that would have happened regardless,

Health insurance is the problem and always has been the problem. Having the government mandate insurance is far worse than a public health system. Currently we have the worst of all of the options (and if an insurance company has bought all

You pay for insurance, which pays for Dr’s insurance, which pays other people absurd amounts for malpractice. If you weren’t having to pay two insurance companies with awfully large buildings, naming rights to stadiums, etc., maybe you coul

When that’s the game, don’t let them play. The party you’re referring to is ambiguous. Democrats seem to make an awful lot representing their constituents[0]. Health insurance shouldn’t exist. When the government mandates it, now there are

It’s almost as if people warned about this very thing. It’s almost as of anything the government touches turns to crap for most while a few, especially those in Congress, ride off with a huge pay day. I’m not sure why people continue to fal

Spouse of a former librarian here. Books are circulated on average 25-30 times before they need to be replaced or removed due to wear. While I understand the plight of publishers, I also think digital rights favor them too much, atm.

Sega CD used this technique a lot to fake 3D environments. Silo here is a great example of a game that looks like it could be a real time 3D game, but it cleverly interweaves FMV with sprites.

Crucial M4s certainly had one around 2010/2011. They would “fail” after 5,000 hours.

My understanding is that this is possible with whole life insurance policies without having to be ultra rich. After a certain period, there is no longer any premium penalty, so while the insurance premium principle doesn’t grow, it doesn’t

So every user has to be an expert in every package manager instead? Makes sense. Make life easy for the developer and pass the pain on to thousands of users. 20 years ago you may or may not support RPM and DEB and for everyone else a tarbal
