What version of DOS was the latest when Win 3.1 was released? 4.1 or something, wasn't it? Just curious.

Sounds about right. Likely also segregating IP and protecting any copyright before that as well.

Your first paragraph is spot on.

This makes my week! Long overdue and finally the middle finger back to Comcast/Universal, Verizon, Spectrum, and AT&T etc. The regulations should never have been tampered with.

To be honest, with respect to just the headline, you could pretty much substitute Windows or Linux in the headline as well.

We can dump tech workers, en masse, to be replaced with futuristic Artificial Intelligence and advanced LLMs, but plug in 2 displays and your computer shits itself.

Awesome. Congratulations, JeffieL!!

"was booting it on a VM at work, before realising I misread Dom0 as DomU...former refers to a Xen hypervisor, not a guest...it booted and installed the same as a standard ISO."

For so many of us that would be an automatic fireable offense. I hope OP has the autonomy to do that and remain unscathed.

Regarding CSS and layout in general, there is a concept of sizers and spacers in wxWidgets that makes layout far easier to grok for the average dev. That being said, it does (sadly) add to code bloat which is where CSS excels, IMO.

Best question, right here. I suspect, someone is relying on there being a Marketplace for "pluggable react components". I know you know...it's a mess...

I have no knowledge of why, but it seems it's always about the money or the power/control. I cannot wait to see what it is...

Thank you for pointing out caching. I was going to reply, at some point, that architecture in a well-designed distributed system considers both locality of data and the ability to cache data as a means of improving both latency and throughput and often does appreciably.

But I don't have to now.

I have been laid off since August, the options I have in front of me are not positive (things have slowed to a trickle where I am in the US), and I hope the New Year will be better, but...

Otherwise I will look into non-tech related work to meet expenses.

I know the castration of ideas in the "Everything-is-an-Emergency" company culture. If you're not careful, it will condition you to delay work because the next "emergency" and shift in priority is imminent.

To this I would add, make sure you have a great support network, be it friends, family, significant other or even co-workers. Also, never underestimate the benefits of a decent therapist.

The weed is only contributing to your depression. You may think it helps you escape, but it actually is making it worse.

Not judging the original commenters Dad, but I had parents like this, and quite honestly there is only one word to describe it and it's ignorance, close-mindedness, or whatever you want to call it. My therapist is quite happy that such a things existed, in my case. LOL.

Books I have read [1,2,3] have all discussed the "incremental learning" approach without calling it that. They frame it in the context of daily repetitions of the material in order to gradually solidify it in your mind and commit it to longer-term memory. However, their approach goes well beyond that and explores many additional factors that play into the learning process as well.

The fact remains, in order to learn ANYTHING, there are no "tricks" for most of us. It takes effort, engagement, focus, self-discipline, commitment, and consistent application of the material, call it repetition whatever.

I have not found any short-cuts and while there may be techniques that might help with memorization (mnemonics and phonetics etc) your brain is dependent upon the amount of rest you get, the quality of your diet, the degree to which your brain is not under external stress while it is engaged in learning and a desire and willingness to be engaged with your topic, IMO.

[2] The Self-Learning Blueprint, Hollins, Peter ISBN: 978-1077241275 (This book, from the same author in [1] is completely different in that he addresses the 4 pillars of learning: Transform and Synthesize Knowledge, Combine the New with the Familiar, Self-testing and Retrieval, and Absorption)

[3] Teach Yourself How to Learn, MacGuire et al, ISBN: 978-1620367568 (This book treats metacognition, positive emotions and motivation as the cornerstones of Learning)

I wish there was a true measure for opportunity cost.

I view the daily standup as a way to communicate status to a Product Owner/Project Manager/SCRUM Master who may have to communicate status to a larger "Standup of Standups", if you will.

I agree that a high quality team communicates with each other often and status amongst them should not be necessary, or require a daily scheduled time.
