Personally, I like that the internet is ephemeral. It matches real life in that way. I would rather see the internet as a means of connecting people over large distances (across space, Mars, etc), maintaining 20,000 copies of every irreleva

While true, I haven't yet seen an authenticator app that let's you just dump the topt code yet...

That's so funny... Mathematicians for 150 years: Ada Lovelace is kind of on top of it. Random from 2024: probably just a diversity footnote.

And then it's published if you experience a temporary power outage. If it's important that it's only released if you're actually dead, putting it in the hands of a person is your only real option.

In a non-totalitarian state, fining them for the funds is how we force them to do it. It's not like we're going to start locking up executives for misappropriating public funds and defrauding the government, that's not a cr

And the death threats those people have been living with for decades because of Jones? That's just acceptable and normal to you? The amount of whataboutism and history rewriting going on in these comments is impressive

Possibly a game server? Between matchmaking, leaderboards, achievements, you'll never be updating 10k rows at once...

The solution is obvious, but we unfortunately continue to choose not to do it.

The whole comment was about how hard it is to wrangle 10+ people. How is that digital, or not real life? It's literally a group of people spending time together face to face.

Is that legitimate? A path name is just a unique identifier for a file, IMO it doesn't make sense to put a whole novel in there. If anything, a giant summary like that should be in the meta tags?

This is true: my gaming PC had that watermark for nearly 10 years. You can't change the wallpaper, remote desktop doesn't work, but that's the only downside to not paying for windows (and using Microsoft's free iso, inst

Let's not pretend like that is a positive outcome. All of your personal data being irrevocably made available to persons unknown, and used for unknowable purposes for untold decades... but at least you got $100 one time.

Right, so a slightly better analogy would be if you wanted to install a remote starter, but then you find out that they can only be installed into Fords, because other auto manufacturers (Apple, Linux in this case) believe that tampering wi

Your car _allows_ you to drive off a cliff. If you do so, it is your fault, not the fault of the car manufacturer. Kind of weird that anyone is blaming Microsoft for any part of this, imo

Why would using a fancy editor be in any way relevant to writing code? That CS class should be dropped from the curriculum, imo, until such time as bolding a register has some sort of meaning, or perhaps viewing an sql table via "prin

We will all die. But if a historic event can be captured on film, the event can be studied in greater detail. I'm all for people choosing to place their very lives at risk in order to further our scientific understanding of the unive

Is it a capitalistic mindset? There have been many civilizations throughout history which pillaged everything they could, and I'm not sure very many were driven by capitalism. I'm thinking about the ancient Egyptians, Vikings, Hun
