I was instrumental in pushing esports out of South Korea into the global zeitgeist, I guess.

I find enjoyment in learning and making new connections, be they concepts or people.

If we could restore the snapshot from around the year 2000 that'd be great, would like to make some changes.

Ten Basic Clouds 2 months ago

Ironically the site is now giving a "The website encountered an unexpected error. Try again later." Do I blame the cloud?

Ask.com has closed 3 months ago

Would have been a great domain with the rise of AI, shocking they didn't adapt the persona.

Copy Fail 3 months ago

What is the rationale behind naming CVEs and individual domains? Marketing?

JSDoc is TypeScript 7 months ago

The argument is that it doesn't surface the default written within the jsdoc block comment even when provided by the developer.

I'd like to thank everyone moving their hosting away from shared hosts to VPS.

Been on the same shared hosting platform for 15+ years and the hardware's load average dropped to ~16% on a 64-core Epyc /w 512gb RAM. Easily handles half million unique bursts without breaking a sweat.

I took it one step further even earlier using a Flash file as a backdrop which was able to achieve the glass effect while still being in a dynamic moveable frame. Can't recall if it used iframes, would need to dig up the code but considering the era it probably did.

I use a combination of Aquasnap's magnetic border feature with MS Power Toys hotkeys and it has been a treat. Still room for improvement tho', esp. if I can force specific browser tabs into particular windows based on purpose.

That's an interesting concept, although it would generate a ton of bogomips since each client has to generate the image themselves instead of one time on the server.

You'd also want "seed" and "engine" attributes to ensure all visitors see the same result.

I read the article and this absolutely stinks of the next step of vendor lock-in, where the person running Deere hardware is forced to maintain an on-going service for 5g and remote cloud services to keep things moving even if the firm is forced to allow farmers to do their own repairs ala 'right to repair'. Opinions?
