Ha, was just going through some papers recently and happened to find a physical issue of 2600, v10 #2 Summer 1993, 4 bucks. Selected articles, "A Guide to the 5ESS", "British Credit Holes", "High School Hacking&quot

It all kind of undermines your original comment tho that they're trying to avoid native. It seems more likely that they're goal is to reach as many devices as they can and be able to do updates frequently. In the first paragraph o

Bringing the best education materials to the most widely used environment, and language doesn't seem very difficult to understand. Nothing prohibits them from learning, "better" languages after you reach them, but first you h

I think a lot about the issues you have touched on here. What you refer to as, "reality-defiance", I call, "knowledge immunity". Long story short, by my estimation what has "arrested this direction of travel" a

That's an interesting point. As I recall (unfortunately it's been a while). There was tension at first who would be top dog. SharePoint or OneDrive, and OneDrive won, so SharePoint Online is actually mapped over OneDrive. MS could

Microsoft Sharepoint uses SQL Server for all user Item storage, so it's an example of an all relational file store. They did this around the time they were also experimenting with the Cairo a sibling comment mentions. Also as another c

I thought of it as either a good start or shooting for concision. Since we're all recommending things for inclusion, I think some nod to the new breed of tiling Window Managers like i3 might be good. By dispensing with the desktop meta

It looks like it probably was a client and server interaction. Somebody (Google, Cloudflare...) switching over more of there infrastructure to http3 triggered it in more clients.

Interesting, it first hit me while I was browsing Youtube. I have been noticing aborted/stalled connections specifically on Youtube over the last week or so. I bet you they have http3 going. After upgrading to 96 today was the first ti

Just experienced very similar symptoms. After several restarts, (including manually killing background procs). I was able to get http(s) connections working again by manually disabling all extensions and restarting. So far I have re-enabled

I agree with pretty much everything you said, except the part about the "VC-fueled startups". Google and fb were once startups, they were just earlier and Google in particular was smart enough to see the future. As part of a multi

I'm going to bring it back to the comment you are responding to. It's saving grace, is that it introduces to the thread the idea, "it's basically what dependently typed languages do". That has a couple of benefits,

I wish I could say the same. I was hoping for redemption from the movie, there really are parts of NGE I like. At the end I was so angry at myself for having wasted another two hours I can't even tell you.

I agree with you. I think they have made significant progress on the valley, and I personally feel, it's not something that moves. The uncanny valley was a particular place the technologies came to, where people specifically, were remi

Don't know why the author calls it an OS, then acknowledges in the article it's not an OS. It was a windowing system, based on X, running on top of DOS, much like Windows 3.1 did. Anyway it was cool, but strained common HW of the

That's great hire them, then it will have served it's purpose. They can repackage all their trivial number related stuff up into one generally useful module, deprecate the old trivial ones and everybody can get back to work (with

Just another reason to use/advocate/support Firefox, and alternative browsers. Ultimately this is good for Google. Just like with hiding the url, as far as they're concerned, the less people look under the covers, the better.

This does look cool. I gotta wonder about the resource utilization though? I see the readme mentions the browser control is native, but it doesn't specify if the whole thing can be compiled to native code with SBCL? The manual is impre

Those home pages look pretty good and I like the go, single-exectable approach, but I have to say those docs look like more than I want to hassle with. That said, looks like you might be on a good path.

Yes, and don't sell yourself short, just keep coding. Everybody always needs hammer-swingers. The get-shit-done-crowd, is THE crowd.

I agree with you that, "Old and functional does not mean deprecated." but what you asserted is not what deprecation is either. It generally means the developers are giving notice that new development on a feature/feature-set&
