Yeah - it's great. Though to tell you the truth, I didn't get around to finishing it. Got about half way - busy time in my life with new babies etc. Will tackle it again some time. It's a little like reading Alice in Wonderla

I love the quality of HN. Only on HN will you get the kind of responses here - the creator of the first wifi node, creator of let's encrypt, creator of getElementsBySelector, etc. Amazing. My small contribution - if you live in Sydney

I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Thexder. It would start up and you'd hear a Japanese female voice saying something like that - the last word being Thexder. It was a great game! You can hear it here: https://www.

I always loved the cyberspace sequence. I was like "hey wow, this is actually a really good and doable representation of what the metaverse could be like!" For reference : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzRjtvMQds

One fun metric I heard: subtract your age from 100 and that's that pages you should read. So, for example, if you're 60, then 100-60 = 40. If it hasn't grabbed you by page 40, toss it.

Another data point - I do the same thing. Out of the 100's I've done it for, about maybe 3 seem to have been compromised.

And if you've got any old floppy or hard disks - save those suckers now! I managed to get most of the data off my old Apple IIGS hard drive but there were definitely block errors. So I can still boot up the desktop I had in the 80&#x27

Seconded. Tabnine's suggestions were way worse than IntelliJ's suggestions. It was very annoying. Uninstalled it after a giving it a good try.
