This is the CPU that I first learned to code on, first in TI Basic (TI-8[1356] ftw) and then Z80 assembler. Crazy to think that the CPU was "old" when I started, and it's still doing good work in those calculators even 20+ years later.

GitHub Stacked PRs 3 months ago

Their manager who suggested that everything be a microservice, but everything depends on each other.

My high school girlfriend and I played this game all the time; trying to build the pizzas to get the best score was always super frustrating. It always felt like I could be a single pixel off and get a really low score, but I loved building my "empire"

I notice at this time there are no comments about systemd. I figured there would be at least one comment about it and "it does not try to do everything".

Maybe it's just me, but everything about this announcement feels very I, Robot... and not in a good way.

allowing the entire fleet to upload terabytes of data for continuous learning and improvement

Ugh.

Edit: Yes, I meant I, Robot the film. U.S. Robotics and the like.

This will be great. I only noticed two issues with the mobile app, and one of them had to do with performance - it would get "stuck" uploading an image to the server, and no amount of waiting would let it complete. So I'd have to restart the app, and it would always start over and check every image that was in the library before uploading would begin again.

The second issue is still related to timestamps from iCloud photos. The date that's on the photo in iCloud is not respected when uploading to Immich, meaning photos tagged from 40-90 years ago show up as being taken today.

If you watch [this Climate Town video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CkgCYPe68Q), then absolutely not, the disposable fast fashion we have today is not better. It's cheaper, but it's not higher quality, it requires trans-continental shipping, and it absolutely gets thrown away in ridiculous amounts.

Overall, it's worse in just about every metric other than "I can get this fun shirt online at 2am for $6."

I recall a similar company that advertised their jobs through DNS. I think they had a TXT record that suggested how to actually apply.

This looks like what web developers have been waiting literally decades for. Possibly replacing (eventually) a bunch of JS libraries to make this all do what we want.

I don't have Chrome installed, but I'm curious how it handles multi-select fields, as I didn't see that in the example video.

React has been around for 11 years. The amount of stuff that's online that tells you to do something with it one way when the react devs tell you to do it another is _astonishing_. And that's just from the last few years.

Or take webpack that's been around for 13 years. The way things are set up even within the last few years have changed dramatically.

If Apache configs moved as much as these systems did, no one would use Apache.

I don't understand "Plex is no longer going to offer remote playback for personal media as a free service"

What cost does Plex incur when I watch something from my friends server? They're not footing the bill for bandwidth that I can tell, so why is there going to be a cost associated with this beyond "we can"?

I remember getting a Voodoo5 AGP, not knowing at the time that AGP and PCI were different. I couldn't use it for the first couple of months that I had it, and then upgraded the motherboard to one that could. I remember originally running a Gigabyte GA-6BXD with Dual Pentium IIIs, but I don't remember what I upgraded to that let me run the Voodoo5.

The V5 was the largest card I'd ever seen that wasn't a motherboard, and it ran every game I wanted to play for years!

This is at least part of what Harold Finch was trying to prevent with his Machine in (Person of Interest)[0]. Having it have access to all of the data was bad enough, but being able to ask it any question you wanted was always a terrifying proposition. Especially if you then consider what happens when that AI starts doing things on it's own (see Samaritan from the same show).

We used to do two week on-call rotations (to follow along with sprint/release cadence). At the beginning of '23, one of our devs asked to be full-time on-call, both because they had sleep issues and so would regularly be awake at 2 am, but also because they didn't like that the other team members wouldn't follow the documented processes.

They don't get paid extra, but they seem to be very happy with the setup.

php deals with this by using the username/organization name of a repository as the namespace name of packages. At least then you're having to squat something further up the food chain.
