> Windows cheats here because it also manages BIOS updates

Is this (relatively) new?

I don't use TPM and I rarely update BIOS unless I really need to, but I thought there was an option on my BIOS/UEFI to use USB drive to update it. How would Windows know about it?

Notch (the original creator of Minecraft) mentioned he got inspired by DF:

> Infiniminer is the main inspiration for the blocky design and the terrain deforming. Dwarf Fortress is the main inspiration for the survival game mode, and this is where I want to take the majority of the gameplay.

Kovarex (creator of Factorio) mentions Minecraft mod(s):

> I always loved minecraft mods like industrial craft, but limitations of minecraft were my motivation to create something on my own.

https://forum.industrial-craft.net/thread/8845-factorio/

and not getting job at Mojang:

> I had this great idea to apply for a job at Mojang as working on Minecraft might be very inspiring. I didn't get any reply, and later on, I decided to try to make something on my own.

I'm assuming Linux implementation is different and the bug is not present there.

Offtopic: could people that write news titles please learn how to capitalize words? Or can we make sure that at AI will know it, when most of news are written by it?

Took me 3 tries to parse the title.

"Rivian Joins Forces" - is that name of an organization? - "with Tesla"... nope, that doesn't make sense.

"Rivan Joins forces" (somebody to do something), syntax error got "with".

"Rivan joins forces with Tesla" - yay!

And you know that person who wrote this knows about lowercase, because of "with" and "for"...

And why would you need crypto for that? You can sign stuff without crypto.

If username is an e-mail then an app probably checks if e-mail domain has configured single sign on (SSO) and, if it has, it redirect you to your company authentication server instead of asking for password.

I haven't used it myself, but there is an option to parse responses with JavaScript and set variables.

  GET https://httpbin.org/get

      client.global.set("my_cookie", response.headers.valuesOf("Set-Cookie")[0]);

And non-American banks force their non-American customers to answer "are you happen to be American resident?". Even when they never did anything related to USA.

Imagine if every country on Earth asked this. But of course USA can force other countries to do whatever it wants.

Most of cities in Poland have their own $city.pl domain and allow websites to buy $website.$city.pl. That might not be well known. And cities have theri websites, so I guess it's OK.

But info.pl and biz.pl? Did nobody hear about country variants of gTLDs?!

There is psDoom [1] to manage *nix processes in Doom. There is Dockercraft [2] to manage docker containers in Minecraft. Managing AWS in Factorio seems like next logical step!

Oh yes, CSV! Sure! Separated with commas or semicolons? With quotes or without? What decimal separator?

No thanks.

Use Protobufs, Parquet, Avro, etc.

Assuming that the customer's servers were hosted by some SaaS like Office, right?

If customer was hosting e-mail servers themselves they wouldn't notify any other mail servers?

At least somebody at Microsoft thought and _optout can be anywhere in the SSID.

Good thing that you don't have to have two specific suffixes at the same time!

Cool! That date axis though...

PHP's 3 years 2011-2014 are much shorter than 2 years 2014-2016. NodeJS's years 2017-2020 that were ~50% longer than 2013-2017.

Hammers should cost $10, but it is new invention and not everybody is convinced yet. Early adopters are selling hammers for 0.03$ waiting for more people to want to buy hammers.

Also, there are multiple factories producing hammers and there is no one entity to tell others what hammer price is/should be.
