The article is explicitly stating and explaining why they were indeed better 40 years ago.

It's not "politics" when the leader of a company is fundamentally against your existence. It's only politics when it's "other people's problems I don't care about", it seems.

They perfected and introduced a lot of concepts that are now part of the genre of competitive FPSs. As much as I thought it was just a me-too kind of game before playing it, once I did manage to play it, I had to admit they went beyond what

For non-ubiquitous languages (everything other than English), part of the difficulty of learning is not just the basic learning, it's retaining what you've learned; it might be difficult to practice it unless you're on the co

Until you've actually developed for mobile Safari, and had to deal with absurd bugs and anti-user problems that have been around for a decade, it's difficult to understand the scale of the problem. Even if you ignore any of the ne

So your point is that the web sound be less capable, and Safari is the last browser trying to cap the web's knees. That seems to me like the point of all these recent articles.

This comes to mind: A Generation Lost in the Bazaar https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=2349257 (It's mostly a criticism of building tools, and MR is mentioned because of autoconf)

Countries have different costs of living. It's like a different scale. X in some_european_country gives you a quality of life as if you made 4X in the US. But if you move back to the US that is lost since the scale doesn't apply a

You can still do porn, just not in the store. You just need a website. Or do you prefer your desktop porn to be via a .exe as well?

The classic Adobe applications (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects) are likely third party encumbered in such a way that a Linux build is all but impossible. I can only imagine the amount of binary crap 20 years out of support that has g

I don't know anything that's not public, but it certainly seem there's something going on at Google as of recently. At least in my bubble, I'm seeing people leaving (or generally more dissatisfied than ever) left and rig

This. In a corrupt country, not destroying the seized equipment in theatrical fashion makes everybody assume cops/government just took it and used or re-sold it themselves, individually. Similar reason why drugs are destroyed with a

I think it's a reflection of the culture from the general area. Russian sci-fi, for example, tends to be heavily introspective (Roadside Picnic, Solaris, etc). While most other western/American sci fi is more about extraordinary w

Same! It felt like a weird premise for the game before I started and I was a bit uneasy about it. But it was a bit of a lesson on how things are not always black and white like that (the protagonists had actual motivations), and also on &qu

Yes but what about when we need all hands on deck to brainstorm synergy ideas Bob? Better call a meeting with everybody.

As a Latin American (of Italian heritage!) that moved to the US, I learned this the hard way. Many times, as an introvert, I sometimes like to be silent myself, even if I'm enjoying the moment. As the article say, this doesn't ten

Same, and the strongest reason why I stopped using GA altogether. People don't talk much about that, I suppose, but to me it's clear GA is completely dead as a product.

Same. I keep my Twitter feed extremely on topic of what I enjoy/want and it's a great experience as a result. Anything proud gets culled via muting specific keywords or unfollowing.

I agree with the spirit, but I'm afraid that on a twitch shooter they would fall back into inhuman advantage space, like with superior, perfect aiming. The important thing to realize is that for Quake bots, being "good" was n

Ditto. I use Blender at an amateur level from time to time and I feel that every time I want to do something that i know is possible and I look it up, the official documentation mentions menus or UI items that don't exist anymore so I

Companies tend to put an emphasis on avoiding false positives, and usually don't care much about the risk of false negatives. They know it's possible for someone to be great without a degree, or any other random arbitrary requir

There's already a dozen great competitors for Jira. Jira has a gigantic moat. Too many people - non devs mostly - are invested on it. While this new product is not negligible since it comes from a service people are likely already usin

Different times. There was a time you needed hands on deck; you needed many many people doing hard, mechanic work. This is a time where you need minds on deck. The "knowledge worker" as some places call it. You stretch them too th

Every time I think I should give Notion another try, I run into this and then remember why I didn't like it the first time around.

It seems that way to me too. In the US silence is basically a crime against humanity.

With c2rust it wouldn't. It would likely be slower in some cases due to added checks for, say, buffer overruns. But that's not the point. C2rust code is not "idiomatic". You get weird, unsafe Rust code full of potential
