ULID guarantees monotonicity only per process, and it requires ID generation to be serialized. I find the promise quite misleading because of that. You might as well use a wide-enough integer with the current timestamp + random as baseline

It makes sense though as "-ian" implies there was a "Zildji" before the brand existed. :)

"Zildjian" is an Armenian last name, but "Zildji" (zilci) means "cymbalist"/"cymbal-maker", or more generically, "bell-maker" in Turkish. "-ian" is the Armenian patronymic suf

Sure, there is a risk. But, it all depends on how great and desirable the benefits are.

Yes, that one! Thanks :)

As a counter-argument, it will inevitably turn into a spec if it becomes widely-used enough. What was that saying, like: “every behavior of software eventually becomes API”

As I understand, the features are called SME (Secure Memory Encryption) on AMD, and TME-MK (Total Memory Encryption-Multi Key) on Intel.

I've recently read on Bluesky that someone's mother used to use No Problem on a Lanier and loved it more than WordStar. I think that's quite a praise. EDIT: Found it: https://bsky.app/profile/audiooblivio

Yes, everyone called it Banner probably because it was the name of the executable, but the software was named Bannermania, IIRC. I don’t remember two different banner apps.

The Print Shop and Bannermania have been extremely popular in Turkey in the 80’s and 90’s.

Didn’t know about that term, but it’s funny that an 18 year old Wikipedia article is still four years newer than my web site :)

“Next page” link goes to the same page with entirely different set of addresses. So, it’s practically infinite for a crawler.

I had made a similar attempt at stopping email crawler spambots by creating a web page that produces infinite random email addresses. http://web.archive.org/web/20020610054821/http://www.sourtim...

I didn’t know these brands still existed. The title felt like “East India Company to acquire Silk Road”.

The scheme, yes. But, even on that screenshot, an active window has two separate accent colors (title bar and the frame). Even that’s too much.

OS/2 looked more modern than Win3.1 because, well, it was newer, but also because of the increased use of "gray 3D slab" style which meant modern at the time (see OSF/Motif). But the design language was less uniform in O

Can we not call any authentication scheme/protocol/service starting with "Open" and even "O" anymore? We already have OAuth, OATH, OpenID, OpenIDConnect, and Okta; it's getting out of hand.

That's a good observation. Yes, IBM has always seen the money in enterprise and tried to solely focus on that while Microsoft has been able to remain ambivalent successfully. Both Windows 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups 3.11 were great

VM/CMS wasn't known for its great GUI though. So, the reason OS/2 GUI looked bad might actually be because mainframe guys were too involved with its design. OS/2 had few remarkable VM/CMS characteristics that I coul

Yes, one of its marketing highlights were "a single Windows app won't crash the whole OS" as that was before Windows 95 came out. IIRC, some Windows apps even ran faster under OS/2.
