There's a good chance this might be down to Apple's constantly changing foundations and the fact that a studio's worth of music software can (especially back then) cost a lot of money to upgrade on top of the new hardware requiring the upgrade in the first place. And that's not going into the case where the company that wrote the software has gone bust.

Given you mentioned G4, there's a good chance they had recent memory of having to upgrade a load of stuff to jump from OS9 to OSX. The Intel architecture change required another upgrade for a lot of software, so it probably made a lot of sense to try and eek more value out of the previous round of purchasing before going again.

Hopefully they delayed enough to not get hit rapidly by the changes in Yosemite, Mojave or Catalina which all necessitated upgrades (IIRC, one might have only been some edge cases) or finally the most recent jump to ARM—which still isn't natively supported by a surprising number of DAW or VST vendors.

On Windows I can run any DAW or VST that's been written since about 2006 natively and can even load up a 32-bit DAW if I want to dust off some ancient project with ancient VSTs that never made the jump to 64-bits.

I remember cobbling something like this together myself using a Kodi plugin called PseudoTV a number of years ago

Definitely a lot more usable from a browser for sure. I'd echo other comments that a TV guide style interface would be a fantastic addition that would take this from a "that's cool" to something I'd potentially regularly use.

I'm assuming some kind of instant-on OS feature

which if you're interested—Cathode Ray Dude on youtube has several episode series all about that weird and wonderful point of computer history

This is how these EU regulations get their teeth: turnover not profit and global not local to a region—they can't creatively account their way out of the fine and it's always going to be big enough to really want to avoid, no matter the size of the company. None of this "the fine is just the permit fee for those that can afford it" attitude.

The steam deck is a pretty good use case for these cards

Flashbacks to the .NET 1.x/2.x default winform icons

The exact example you're describing is what the ActivityPub spec and the resulting "Fediverse" are aiming to solve. Mastodon and compatible microblogging platforms are distributed versions of Twitter, Lemmy & Kbin are compatible distributed versions of Reddit/HN style link aggregators.

Given the boost both of these parts of the fediverse have gotten from Twitter/Reddit's series of missteps recently, they're starting to look like they could become viable long-term alternatives.

Any kind of life extension breakthrough is going to introduce heaps of problems in how our society functions. It is fundamentally not designed to cope with people not retiring and dying.

Plus, if we've not figured out how to live away from this planet in perpetuity around the same time, we're going to quickly run out of space too.

Oh wow, this has slipped me by entirely, have you got an article about it that I can read?

I think the guy you're replying to's point is that Qt versions of the apps he uses don't exist - the Electron ones do.

The alternative to many Electron apps isn't a native app in another framework, it would simply be no app (on linux).

Double reply, eh? - I've been doing my job. Sorry I can't drop everything to respond to you on HN.

As I said it's not exactly under-reported, that was your cue to search and find something like: https://fullfact.org/news/how-many-fit-work-assessments-are-...

And (to address your other comment) I assume you aren't being literal with your specific example (because the guy you were responding to didn't literally mean people were assessed on their ability to walk to a shop specifically), but yeah there have been reports of people who can't walk very far getting told they're fit for work (For instance this guy: https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-news/photographer... from earlier this week)

Where's your evidence?

You're aware there's a mass of evidence that the DWP is, at best, ineffective and trending towards excessively cruel in its capability assessments? It's not exactly something that's gone unreported.

Your friend is lucky, I know several people personally who have been dragged through the courts for months before they were able to get their incorrect assessment overturned.

Isn't there a Google PageRank penalty for sites that do that now?

See above - Windows does now! (and it already did if you were using WSL)

I expect the health-checking happens independently of the routing. The routing will just act upon a list of routes which is modified independently by the health check.

It won't ever be possible to do this as the NLB runs a few network layers below where TLS runs

The difference spin makes.

The employer should endeavour to close those gaps via training or even just advocating things like more pairing. It shouldn't be acceptable for a developer to silo themselves off from the rest of their team (except maybe a non-artificially-short-deadline or start-up type environment).

Judging by the Direct Connect one further down I think "Not Bad" was more of a comment on the name rather than a suggestion for another.

Pink Unicorn every time I try to hit the site.

We also have had DLNA for around a decade now. It was never perfect, but it was fairly well supported in the past. Unfortunately it didn't evolve quick enough so proprietary solutions overtook it.

That and "smooth motion" frame interpolation. I don't know how people can stand it.

And they used to have a good API...

I think part of the reasoning was down to there being a lot of Unicode characters that look identical to ASCII ones, and that it would make creating legitimate looking domains for phishing a lot easier.

Technically paying for a license to play said content in the Netflix app.

I agree that DRM is a waste of time and the pirates are going to get the content whatever happens, but a $10/m streaming service is only licensing you to watch video in a few specific scenarios. If you had spent $3 an episode (or whatever it is on iTunes/Google Play these days) to own it, then I'd expect a DRM free file to be available (Though I doubt you actually get one in reality).

KeePass has open source clients on every major platform.

A central cloud service using closed source applications for storing passwords just seems like an easy target for assailants.

weird, onerror worked fine for me

    <img src="404me" onerror="alert('test')" />

Ah I didn't know you could have it without the base64 encoding.

I did basically the same:

    data:text/javascript;base64,YWxlcnQoInRlc3QiKQ==

I've actually been running an instance of VcXsrv and then running something similar to `bash -c "DISPLAY=:0.0 terminator` to run that under the X session. Way better than the CMD emulator

Technically, they're preaching that you might not need JavaScript rather than advocating against it
