>> ‘Stanley Kubrick’s’ ‘Apocalypse Now’

…in what possible world; lol. I want to see that world.

I think you mean Francis Ford Coppola. :P Or ‘Full Metal Jacket’ - but your statement as it stands just makes me giggle.

Sonic Team was not disbanded along with the Dreamcast, but - AFAIK - still exists, however; Yuji Naka left in 2005(?) during Sonic ‘06’s disastrous development.

He’s recently ended up in legal trouble after the shitshow that was Balan Wonderworld. Oh; how the mighty have fallen. :(

Minor nitpick; but the Saturn didn’t have a VMU; or Visual Memory Unit, that was the Dreamcast. You’re confusing NiGHTs Into Dreams’ A-life (which was still a thing but only in-game) with Sonic Adventure’s Chao system, which allowed you to take the little buggers on the go as I did in High School, lol.

Also ‘Volcano’ / ‘Dante’s Peak’ and ‘A Bug’s Life’ / ‘Antz’

People “usually don’t” get arrested for possession of a small amount of cocaine; but I sure wouldn’t want to be one of those obscure cases. I agree ‘usually’ is almost never good enough when personal risk is involved.

>> (and for the feature that allowed me to change my emberassing old user name)

Still brutally pissed that after more than 10 years with the same account, and even with Premium, Reddit wont let me change my old short name, which is related to my deadname as a trans person.

Of course; support requests have been completely ignored.

I'm a little baffled my comment was downvoted, too; and it's another one of those instances where I wish there was a requirement to give a reason for downvoting on HN.

I'm not sure what on earth about my original comment there could be considered as 'negative', or 'factually incorrect'. I simply provided an honest anecdotal account of my experience with the service; which I feel is relevant to the conversation.

I think this will be an unpopular opinion to some; but I have a pretty firm belief that when you do the family thing and decide to have kids and the like; you’d better have established, or at least started / somewhat put in motion your goals as an individual.

As soon as you’ve crossed that line and had said kid, you have just made a conscious choice to significantly reduced your own time, finances; and flexibility available to chase after personal goals.

Before anyone immediately @‘s me; this is not always the case…but usually the people who can do both are 1) the exception to the rule, not the average; and/or 2) were relatively wealthy. maybe you can afford a caretaker for your child.

But that begs the question - so you had said kid, and want to give said kid the best life they can. Cool. We need people.

Probably adopting is the more sensible option; since there are tons of kids in awful, hopeless situations that can use your help, and we also have an overpopulation issue; but honestly, some people just want to have the experience of having kids. Okay, cool.

So…Does starting your own business right now, rather than investing into your kid’s development, really make sense?

By having a kid; did you not agree to set aside a lot of your personal time and finances to them?

Shouldn’t you do this sort of thing before you have a kid or after they move out? What if it takes off and your kid loses a parent being present because the career took over? :/

Asking from the perspective of a 33-year-old woman who sees having kids in your early 30’s; or, God forbid, your 20’s, as suicide of independence.

Mastadon is by far, leaps and bounds - above the quality of any social network I’ve ever been a part of in terms of content.

My chosen server; tech.lgbt is literally a return to the ‘good old days’ of people showing off innovative tech projects, having healthy discussions and; yes - cat pictures. I feel like my mental health got a major upgrade the day I deleted the Facebook client off my iPhone and installed a Mastodon client.

It’s pulled some sort of a blinder off my face and caused me to remember the actual purpose of social media is to connect and communicate with fellow human beings.

Let’s pray it never hits ‘mainstream’.

I think FAANG companies are laying off employees because frankly they are idiots for growing to the unnecessary size of folks they had hired to start.

The bank I work up here as a dev in Canada is looking to grow it’s team and I get half a dozen emails from recruiters a day.

Don’t be afraid of the layoffs. These companies need to be taken down a notch.

Was mildly disappointed when I found out it had nothing to do with MS Bob, not going to lie.

What a strange and weirdly beautiful piece of misguided computing history.

The TAM is such a peculiar and interesting piece of rare Apple hardware.

The design is certainly truly unique, and its ‘Garbage Can’ subwoofer is oddly reminiscent of what would be the also bizarre yet awful design of the later Mac Pro designed that way.

Also, very very few computers had a TV/FM tuner at the time built in.

As someone who considers the G4 iMac to be the single most beautiful piece of computing technology - perhaps any technology - she’s ever seen, (I still keep two operating at home) I just have to say if it was some sort of mistake; it was the best one the ever made.

From what I understand; they purchased a piece of software that already existed to translate PPC to x86 in some form or another and iterated on it. I believe the software may have already even been called ‘Rosetta’.

My memory is very hazy; though. While I experienced this transition firsthand and was an early Intel adopter, that’s about all I can remember about Rosetta or where it came from.

I remember before Adobe had released the Universal Binary CS3 that running Photoshop on my Intel Mac was a total nightmare. :( I learned to not be an early adopter from that whole debacle.

You have made my day. This is amazing.

Huh. My server (tech.lgbt) is awesome, populated; and the content is relevant to my interests. I'm truly enjoying it. I've been here less than a week and already have 26 followers and I'm following 20. But I'm also a queer programmer; so...maybe it's just really dependant on the particular server you're using and your interests?

Can you assert why this conversation is an exception, and what some of the guidelines of the standard for exceptions would be?

Can it not prove my point as well?

Just because eBay saw it trending on HN and decided to resolve it for good PR doesn’t mean the process was easy.

I guarantee you this is what happened; it literally happens all the time with people here.

>> I just went to sign up

To Comcast? For the love of God, why?

Or; y’know, the majority of people here just don’t approve of his behaviour…

Also; downvoting expires pretty quickly. This isn’t Reddit, you can’t just go back and downvote every comment someone wrote. :/

So, this won't work anymore with GoDaddy domains?

Ooh; that's not good, not good at all.

The biggest reason for Windows' dominance for the better part of almost two decades was its insane backwards compatibility. Of course, this also created a myriad of problems for bloat and security, but it was pretty much one of their biggest selling points.

It's gotta be just as good as Apple's, or nobody's going to care, point-blank. They'll just buy a Mac and put Windows in a VM. You might even get better performance.

I have negative interest in Windows, so can anyone in the know tell me if they have some sort of x86/x64 emulation layer in there like Apple does?

If so, how effective is it? If not, this is as DOA as Surface RT.

Okay, I actually did laugh out loud a little at the ‘we are able to moderate email’, bit.

Spam filters are probably one of the single most consistently unreliable pieces of software I ever have to use; regardless of the email provider; or email client I use.

I have to check my junk folder like it’s my inbox.

On both Apple Mail and Outlook; with two different emails - email money transfers (EMTs) will get shoved in my junk box; despite the dozens of times I have marked said emails as not junk.

I’ll get spam emails, but I don’t get mail from newsletters I’ve actually signed up for.

Like…if you’re trying to use spam emails as an example of success; and even a model we should follow for…anything else; I’m going to laugh you out of the room and tell you to keep me the hell away from whatever tools you want to use with that technology.

Spam filtering software for email is at best useless; at its worst; mind numbing log frustrating. It’s a tool I’ll never trust.

Hey, thanks for this tip! I didn’t know this. :)

LOL, tell that to the NSA/FBI and see how they feel about those conversations when they need to dig up dirt on you. :P

It’s not technically illegal to have those conversations, but it’s in some kind of a grey area, because if you’re having conversations like those; the immediate question is of course why…it’s tough to find reasons to bring up that topic other than the obvious.

Ha! I was one of them. I never even used Twitter, but a nerd friend of mine told me about the Fediverse told me about it and I actually got quite excited.

Find the right server and it seems like a great place to be!

The Wii Mini - I believe only available up here in Canada; but actually fairly common up here - I think dropped GCN support.

Otherwise, all Wii models had GCN game, controller; and memory card support.

Fun fact: the Wii was a modified GameCube for a bit of its development cycle. Prototypes of the Wiimote with a GCN have been found.

I live in Canada; I'm not really sure what the equivalent of an SBA is up here; but thank you for giving me the direction to go in! :)
