It’s fine to have some cosmetics, but the economy Valve had created brought so much toxicity to the game.

My solution has been a huge UPS so they never turn off. Softupdates prevented this issue for over a decade (?), so hoping we get HAMMER2 or something down the road.

I’ve been running OpenBSD continuously since 3.4, and no other OS beats it in simplicity IMO. The upgrades have ticked along quickly and flawlessly year over year. I wish more systems would take a page out of that book and implement something like sysupgrade.

IMO it’s better than Signal as far as UX goes with enough privacy to be practically for everyday chat. I actively avoid WhatsApp because Facebook. They recently changed their privacy policy to no one’s surprise.

I’m sure the NTSB investigation will consider this angle, and we will find out eventually.

I’m just advocating that violent texts like this should also be included rather than treated specially.

The only other thing really up that high would be space debris, weather balloon payload (the balloon itself is very thin and soft), or maybe a sounding rocket (but don’t these come with NOTAMs?).

UUIDv7 still works great in distributed systems and has algorithmic advantages as you have mentioned.

UUIDv4 lets us sidestep this.

Is it bad design? Probably. Is it going to happen at huge companies? Yes.

Is a plug in hybrid or EV less polluting if you don’t have rooftop solar?

edit: I think I know the general answer, but I’m splitting hairs comparing a replacement car for an ICE vehicle that I have.

Haven’t you heard? The best way to contact gmail support is by posting about it on tech websites /s

It’s sad that I often see resolutions happen here after an engineer scrolls through the comments. I agree that not having backups and your own domain is asking for trouble the way things are currently structured with online mail.

I will say that I hosted my own servers for years, but it’s a lot of trouble and not for everyone (plus, I could never quite get the spam filtering tweaked how I wanted).

What I was trying to ask is if you took pre-antibiotic staph and resistant staph, rolled back in time and infected two people, would one be worse than the other?

ie - are they harder for the immune system to fight, or just resistant to antibiotics.

I got tingles when the first booster landed on the drone ship, because I knew access to space had just changed in a fundamental way.

I had a friend who collected and restored very old BMWs. He certainly wasn’t doing it for the ride quality or features vs a modern car. I just picked the F1, because it’s a shining example of a car people love that is impractical compared to modern cars of equivalent specs.
