I have an .iso that boots into a unikernel to launch the C64 emulator and play a hacked version so you don't have to swap disks. Email me if you'd like a link!

Bingo. I'm afraid, internet stranger, that you are part of the problem here. The original topic for this thread was about "community" and the mental health crisis. Community brings diverse people into contact with each othe

There are people who vote Republican in private, and they are different from those who loudly proclaim their Republicanism to everyone they encounter. It might be a shame that the private Republicans vote how they do, but that doesn't

Streaming is important, especially for longer videos. I don't believe any static hosting site supports video streaming.

Taping sheets together is not as easy or as fun as you think. The fun part of making a banner was letting print for however long and then carefully tearing it off and then you could just hang it. Also, people make whatever they want in MS

Unfortunately, "plan for the future" is too general to be workable; this is how you get architecture astronauts using UUIDs and multiple levels of indirection for a 160KB floppy. The future you can plan for, is specifically 10x mo

If they get 5000 sitcom stars doing 10 videos/day for 200 days/year and Cameo gets $10 each, that's 5000*200*10*10 = $100m. Those numbers seem at least napkin reasonable to me..

Thematically related is the music of The Caretaker. It's haunting and beautiful and quite memorable. Check out An Empty Bliss Beyond This World[0], which is kind of a nice album for some melancholy reflection on age and the experienc

It depends on the company but 90% of companies are this way. Which is what the parent comment was saying, it's overall shifting towards that. Which I have seen as well.

OTOH maybe we shouldn't make it too easy for them by giving in without any resistance whatsoever. Fight this to delay or derail the next thing which will be even more.

It was the second sentence in the article: "Amazon claims it has sold more than 500,000". 500m units in 4 years would have been an unqualified success. I don't even think the iPhone sold 500m in its first 4 years.

The road wasn't closed. Google Maps was wrong. And with a paper map, you would have the intuition that it might be stale, so you ask a local. Whereas Google Maps is marketed as the latest and greatest and most up-to-date, so you wind

Do they get to pair with your team on the take-home or are they doing it solo? I'm not happy working by myself on features/bugs in a codebase that no one will ever. It's meaningless work. If that's the job you're

Two decades is only half a software career. I've been coding for 40 and it's different. See how you feel in another 20 years. Even in niche domains, almost all software is a massive tangle of unnecessary complexity. At some po

It's hard to believe that a 15-year-old book was a defining cultural touchstone. What do we have from 2009 that has the reach of HHGTTG in 1994? Twilight? Hunger Games?

1946 is absolutely the beginning of the Boomers. The Boomers are the babies born after soldiers came home from WWII in 1945. If anything, Biden (1942) is technically the Silent Generation. Gen X are the children of the Boomers. So starti

So, I like to divide things into orders of magnitude since that tends to produce meaningful qualitative differences between levels. And I think due to inflation, ^6 wealth is these days $3m-$30m, which would be considered "rich"
