That is a pretty nitpicking reason to say it has not aged well. Hamlet doesn’t have cell phones yet I think it’s an excellent play. Even though a quick FaceTime would’ve averted a tragedy.

Isn't iridium already in orbit? So there would be no need for new launches due to this aquisition.

Did anthropic threaten to go to a different cloud provider?

I agree and have taken the same path.

My client uses IBM servers with it’s hobbled version of Unix (AIX). Perl and access to copilot have really helped me out. I don’t love Perl but I’m damn glad I have acres to it.

Wow. Maybe backups would have been a good idea.

If a musician doesn’t want them to do this, why do they upload their music to the free site?

It does. I suffer for almost 20 hours of I miss a dose. I’m very sure that doesn’t happen.

Absolutely amazing. Good work. It downloaded and ran on Arch with no problem.

I’m amazed that climate.gov hasn’t been taken down yet.

The have a charger very near to where I go in Michigan, and 30 miles from the nearest supercharger. They announced earlier this year that they would open up the RAN “near the end of the year” so I’ve been waiting for this announcement. The fact that they will only gradually modify existing chargers to work with other vehicles is a disappointment. It’s all CCS so it should just be a software update. I am really looking forward to charging my model Y at the Rivian charger. I’m guessing that that will be a long time coming now. Oh well, I guess the Red E charger gets my business for the foreseeable future. They have excellent customer service and they just upgraded the charger to be much faster.

This is very cool. I’ll have to read his blog. My 9yo just picked up a book on coding from the library, I hope he gets interested as well.

The song needs to be updated to reflect our current reality.

Great for assassins, but not terribly useful in a large battle.

Apparently OpenAI can’t ask the AI to design a better AI. Perhaps the singularity isn’t as close as people thought.

An amazingly talented person.

Yup, it is your works crazy policy of making sure everyone gets a one size fit all VS code Configuration. I’ve loaded VS code on a 10 year-old Lenovo and it runs just fine with only basic Python plug-ins. Five minute startup time is crazy.

My mom’s hard and fast rule when buying a new computer: It had better run Print Shop. She was barely computer literate but that program was soooo useful to her. You guys did a great thing.

FSD is revolutionary. There isn’t anything as good on the market yet. Other than that I agree, their competitors have caught up.

I am reminded of Rana systems, who used to make disc drives for Apple II Systems. They announced the new product that was basically an IBM PC built into a disk drive so you could run IBM PC applications on your Apple. They sank the company trying to make it work. At least that’s how I remember it through the fog of memory. The 80s were a while ago.

I use virtual card and lock the card as soon as I’m done. The company will send a few nag notices then cancel for me.

The same day he dies, Microsoft announces version control in Windows Explorer, which he originally bought to the file system in VMS. I know he worked on NT, I wonder why they didn’t introduce version control before now.

Does anybody else see the irony of storing a new version control system on GitHub?

I remember flying from Sydney to London and seeing big clocks with Swatch Internet Time in both cities. It seemed both silly and kind of cool at the same time.

My 9 yo is better than me at Mario Kart but not by much. This knowledge may make the difference for me. Thank you!

I was turned off by the subscription model. No way I would use this frequently enough to pay for a subscription. And I have a 9 yo who plays with legos every day.

Even in this scenario I would still expect to see Von Neumann machines at some point.

I love the fact that the details of the photo were provided by a Russian. Are their archives of our nuclear tests better than ours?

“You’re in a desert. You’re walking along in the sand when all of a sudden…you look down and see a tortoise. You see a tortoise, Leon. It’s crawling toward you…You reach down and flip the tortoise on its back, Leon. The tortoise lays on his back, his belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, Leon, not without your help. But you’re not helping…. Why is that, Leon?”

The vast majority of COBOL in production runs on IBM mainframes in conjunction with JCL (Job Control Language). If you are looking to offload COBOL from a mainframe to a cheaper platform JCL is a must. I love that this project exists but it’s only one half of a solution to migration off of a mainframe.
