I’m trying to imaging learning a skill and not being glad about it. So, all of them? Most recently I’m learning fiberglass repair and gel coat (including color matching, which is really difficult for me). Before that, I built a wooden boat.

One recent example (and there are many): The FIRST 30 (former Seascape) isn’t a race boat, it has a sink and fridge.

I finished my first race Wednesday after a few years sailing casually. And, although it’s true that whenever there is more than one sailboat going the same direction it’s a race, being in a fleet on a defined course is much faster paced and

The material seems dated. Modern yachts choose to be limited by displacement speeds but aren’t bound by them. New models that can rise on plane (like a speed boat) because of advances in materials and manufacturing are starting to prolifera

So I was accepted to MIT long, long ago and couldn’t afford to go and ended up at an (excellent) state school. If I’d gone to MIT I would be the same person right? Stereotypes don’t work, and never have — see people, not labels.

Scathing, and wonderfully so.

Honestly, I think it’s just simple imitation. Something is popular, folks are envious of it, they end up building something much like it. Doesn’t matter if it’s houses, logos, or user experiences – seems to be how things work.

Isn’t it weird how “old people” are so much like other people? The insecurities, hopes and so on? It’s like stereotypes just don’t work or something.

Disclosure: I'm building https://proxylity.com , but I'm seeking to understand here, not to promote it. The fixed cost per region seems like a barrier to experimenters and large development teams alike. It's not m

Maybe a comparison to AWS Global Accelerator would be helpful to understand the "global" aspect. Having instances in multiple regions is just a starting point.

That demo shows the problems splendidly. It “only kinda” works on iOS.

I was learned enough in school to know when teachers were “teaching” something oversimplified. They uniformly acknowledged that when asked, until one didn’t. That one didn’t care about the nuance and insisted I give the “expected” answer wh

Just not so. My neighborhood has a tradition of summer “wine walks” even though homes are widely spaced. It’s not about place, it’s about attitude.

Exactly. In a world of many resolvers, poisoning a few doesn’t matter. In all likelihood the folks consuming these streams aren’t using mainstream DNS anyway.

It’s an interesting question. The bar would be the least they could possibly do, obviously (as it is now), so is there a case for raising that bar at all?

Can you cite actual example of such “founding documents”?

Definitely a fair point. But I observe that dS/dt may not be positive already.

And many are not. How many Python shops are living in the past? It’s the same problem everywhere.

Just like for windows or Linux, in other words. The dotnet tooling is amazingly friction and ceremony free these days.

Maybe. It might be that the “industry” continues on without good code, slowly dying.

So your point is that youngsters are the only ones that understand “modern” software? Or economic crisis? Or both? Stereotyping is fine as long as it’s understood to be fundamentally wrong and inefficient, and when applied to people cruel.
