Sorry, lost the last digit, fixed now. This restored PDP-11/83 project is Dave Plummer's

He also edits bug titles to reduce the appearance of the severity while not participating in the discussion to explain why.

While probably it's legit because I've seen Dave discussing the process on the YT channel (which I no longer watch) he unfortunately does have form https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39813625

Having TMOG on a .org when it sells commercial licences doesn't sit well with me given the history.

> You didn’t really have one big app that you could open and order it to entertain you. Instead, you had a few dozen of bookmarks to websites, each with a specific idea in mind.

This overlooks how common custom homepages such as Lycos, Yahoo! and MSN were and how the browsers pushed these as their default home pages.

While they may not be as addictive as "the algorithm" of today, they were still packed with clickbait images/links to attract your attention and ads to drain your wallet.

If the driver wants you out, being unable to cancel the trip on the app won't stop them throwing you out.

Louis founded the Consumer Rights wiki and also wrote the article that's the subject of this NH thread.

Another frustrating aspect of forced arbitration is Uber can now avoid ever using that arbitrator ever again.

I can't say I agree with forcing your team to use your own personal "framework" of approaching a problem or else you'll get "feedback".

> Sometimes I will give feedback to people when they are missing steps in the framework, or are poorly executing some of the steps. I expect the same feedback in return.

I also don't like that urgency is built in as the standard process either, no wonder everyone is burnt out.

> 6. Act with urgency to achieve the goal

If they're no longer using that model they may not be willing to continue using their storage for it.

> You’d spend all your time managing the money and associated stresses.

That's what your personal executive team is for.

Not sure any chairman has their ear to the ground to fully understand the culture within their organization.

I never saw our CEO in person, never saw our chairman even on a webinar.

And yes it's not their job to be that low level, but they can't have an idea of the culture either.

Author needs to decide which end of the stratum stack they want as the top.

> This design from 2010 had at the top stratum 1 sources at Australia's National Measurement Institute (NMI)

> Among otherwise comparable candidates, the lower stratum carries more weight.

Depends on the library.

If you appear to be sleeping, staff will check on your welfare, and wake you up.

21.37.42-SECONDARY is an interesting version number, don't they like final-final2 in their version numbers?

Kind of surprised they admit they're going to try restarting and see what happens. I'm sure it happens everywhere but nobody admits it.

> We've attempted a rolling restart on one of the impacted instances to see if that resolves the issue.

At least it didn't fix the problem so they can actually start finding the real cause.

> We're no longer pursuing restarts as a path to remediation.

Why isn't the AI they sell telling them what's wrong? Why do they need to take shots in the dark to "see if that resolves the issue"?

I feel better about investing time when Linux breaks because it's for a reason that isn't rooted in user hostility.

Windows breaks because something Microsoft wanted for themselves is broken.

> These days everyone is just using the same five electron apps installed via flatpack anyway.

> So a desktop environment with an bespoke suite of apps (text editor, video player, file manager etc), seem less and less important anyway.

Can't say I've seen this, my main daily apps are all native and installed with a package manager.

Even if we were all using the same apps why would that mean we'd all jump onto a Mac?

Considering the post ends with a link to the author's consultancy page, I'm guessing not.

If your team is rethinking its front-end foundation, get in touch.

I try to warn my small business clients who ask for this.

You know those annoying AI bots the big companies use?

Well yours will be worse because you don't have their budget and it will drive what few customers who stumble upon your site away instantly.

Your own authentic voice answering a customer query directly is one of the few advantages a small business has over the big guys.

Not to mention liability if the agent says something misleading. You won't be able to afford the lawyers the big guys can to get yourself off the hook.

Similar behaviour here:

> Related tools, including Microsoft Management Console (MMC), RDS Licensing Diagnoser, and File Explorer might also become unresponsive," Microsoft admitted.

> "Additionally, the Windows Update page might stop responding and continuously display a loading indicator."

This culture of trying to avoid showing the user an error message has to stop.

I can't say I'm surprised when I see the 100+ function stack traces that Axum built on Tokio produces.

Before you say Axum is "holding it wrong" the project lives under the tokio-rs GitHub org.

The fact that so many large companies are still on X is so wrong.

It's interesting that in the beginning Google would prominently display "Ads by Google" [1] which they've since hidden behind the "info" icon because they don't want their name associated with these scam ads.

As much as I hate subscriptions, one time payment for ongoing access to a web service never lasts.

What are you doing instead?

It's somehow very expensive even for keywords that have no current ads so you're not in a real bidding marketplace.

Then you get run out for self promotion.

That's assuming you can get your ad seen, plenty of times I've seen Reddit's own ads for advertising on Reddit and I'll never see my ads. So I'm bidding against Reddit on Reddit's own platform.

> Yet, no one is filing a complaint or being questioned over this.

Don't think anyone (especially a community run project like RubyGems) is keen to go up against OpenAI's bottomless legal resources in a test case.
