Not exactly what I was thinking of, because that's more on a local system than at web scale. Something else, I'm sure it's related though, kinda like a crowd crush?

What's the term for when a failing service causes the users of said service to use it more to complain about it failing? Because it sure seems like that's happening to some extent.

Assuming the computer talks over a standard protocol like serial or parallel, I don't see how it wouldn't be fairly straightforward to move it to a newer machine. Might even be able to run it on a virtual machine for better compatibility.

Should've just used a rock instead. Free and you can argue about whether expensive European mountain rocks work better.

I had a coworker that I tried to help out, but he barely knew some common programming terms like what a type was, or how he had to declare something beforehand in order to use it. We never really found out why he didn't know these things because he was so softspoken and shut down at any attempt to understand why he was having trouble. I don't talk to him much anymore due to some team restructuring, but other coworkers still see the same so I don't know if he can be helped honestly.

The only reason I made a blog and a post was because it was something to learn with and get some of that sweet sweet Hacker News front page traffic. It did work by the way.

New comment by Adamantcheese in "Ask HN: Can we ban Twitter links, please?"

Adamantcheese — Tue, 22 Feb 2022 09:20:31 +0000

There are some posts where Twitter is the primary source. Banning Twitter outright isn't a solution for this type of situation.

I got mine from Brooklyn Bedding, a high loft one since I sleep on my side.

I'll second this, it's immensely useful when I can't wrap my head around a regular expression.

I made an actual robot to automate hi alching for me a year or two ago, to work around the whole "no software" thing. It just pressed the mouse button for over a month every ~0.6 seconds. Totally worth it. Just had to check on it every 24 hours when the client timed itself out.

How about something like ZPAQ instead for archiving? Especially if you're doing backups and not a lot of the information is changing.
