This assessment is exactly what went through my brain when reading the list. It's great if it's fun for the author and their gaming partner, but I, for one, would never play this. It's way too ambiguous and adds chance in a

I bought in at the beginning as well. But I didn't stick with it. I have other gaming platforms and while I love the idea of streaming games which can be run on virtually any hardware and operating system, it didn't feel as poli

It’s an interesting start, but it’s missing some pretty vital features the official Slack client has. I get how development works and I understand needing funding to support development, but I’ll be holding off on this until there is at lea

For the most part, I agree. But... If the UX wasn't garbage I'd defend it, too. It has a lot of nice features and integrations. But the UX changes they have made in the recent past (few years-ish), made it worse, for me. And, in

Yeah this has me a little concerned, but only a little at this time. The only reason I'm not feeling any major anxiety yet is due to the ubiquity of Spring libraries/frameworks/products. They're everywhere used by thou

This is a pretty standard price for mechanical keyboards, whether pre-built or self-built. Hasn't really changed much in the last 5 or so years, that I am aware. I do agree, though, that they do take advantage via FOMO or perceived el

Does Traefik or Caddy have UI-built-in support for Let's Encrypt? If not, then perhaps that makes this special. If so, then probably nothing else except a relatively user-friendly UI.

I’ve done that! But I also have 32GB RAM in my machine :) I want 64 GB but I will say for my current needs, 32 GB is the sweet spot. My normal daily use is around 20GB. And it is a MacBook Pro. One day I’ll probably go back to a laptop

I was replying to the whole 8GB is enough for typical development. Java is an extremely popular language to develop in and the IDEs alone eat up 2-4GB on their own. By default a Java app will set its max heap size to 25% of RAM (Java 11 an

I'm concerned, but there's effectively nothing I can do about it. I vote based on issues mostly and also vote based on whether or not I feel the person or people are saying and doing what I want to see, for the public good. Unfor

Because "series of tubes" and "series of pipes" are both a dumbed-down inaccuracy. The Internet is a mesh of millions of computers that happen to be connected by wire or fiber optics or some other transmission medium. F

I just watched this video today. The Amiga truly was ahead of the curve and sadly I didn't get to participate in 80s and early 90s computing much (I had a Commodore Plus/4 but that was it). Even now, I find that there is so much

Freedom of expression does not mean tolerating outright lies and bigotry and harm on a non-government-owned/controlled platform. So Trump, since you decided to not say his name for some reason, was rightly kicked off the platform afte

Heh, clearly people think they know more than they do and accuse me of the same. No worries, I really couldn’t care less what others think of me. I know how my systems perform under multiple OS conditions and configurations, I’ve develope

No, compilation is six times faster in Linux in almost every single language I’ve compiled using the exact same hardware setup. I/O in windows should have been solved with SSDs. I’ve not yet heard or read anything actually good about

If they can automate flagging/removing content, they can automate providing relevant information to the posters of said content. I'm not suggesting they throw people at the problem and provide on-call personal support to everyone

And the fact that he has to guess at what the problem may or may not be is the core of the issue here. A simple straightforward response clearly indicating why the content is removed is not so far-fetched an idea.

Yes, exactly. Hospital data is atrocious, on every single level. Duplicate data are everywhere across multiple systems. Hospitals move excruciatingly slow to do anything technical. And, very few people seem to ever have any real underst

Ah, didn't know about that. The concepts seem to be very similar, though. In US Videotel at least, there was a community function in addition to the various other functions the system provided (stocks, weather, etc). Thanks for the i

I currently work for the person who helped start US Videotel and I still haven't scratched much of the surface about all of it with him. Everything about Minitel and US Videotel reminds me of what was depicted in seasons 2 and 3 of H

Good to hear. They have done that in the past, though, I've read a few first-hand accounts of it (and sadly I cannot find them now so take it with a grain of salt, of course). Perhaps it was just early-days.

I ask tech questions in interviews as a litmus test (for any given concept) and it always relates directly to the work being done so they can get a feel of the kind of code they would be writing and maintaining. As an example -- in my line

Thank you all for your replies. I suppose I was meaning battleships in modern day (since I assumed that's what was meant to what I was replying), but the historical context is interesting and relevant.
