I've been amazed by this jam. It's like bigger and better every year (in terms of jams going deeper and deeper).
I imagine we're 5 years away of "Make your own OS, language, compiler, VM and game in 12 minutes, 36 seconds. Extra points if you gave yourself a stroke."
Create a simulation of a universe with arbitrary physical laws, have it evolve sentient life, and submit the first video game they develop which matches the theme. The theme this year is "rotations". You have 48 hours. Go.
I agree that’s Zed is very nice but a ticking enshitiation time bomb.
However, you do see how this autocomplete “feature” and its whole copilot everywhere strategy, is about M$’s roi of its ai investment right?
So if you have a problem with VC money you should stop using VSCode as well.
Of course they will just invent more accounting terms, like they do with azure, to hide how much money they are losing on it.
It depends, it can be useful to easily debug some flows. It’s also sometimes better for interactive applications where pausing the execution would break the interface.
They should, but if given the option to only exclusively use one or the other, I would never in a million years pick it. Because I have put in a tiny bit of effort into understanding how to use a debugger.
Most of them provide you with a feature list that's a strict superset of printf, because they let you set conditional non-blocking breakpoints that can have side effects. Which is perfect for the situation you've described - logging state without blocking. Then you can block and look through that state + any additional relevant info.
All cargo companies run a wide fleet of many different plane types, particularly to avoid this very problem of being grounded by the FAA. But yes, these were still widely used in cargo transports. Although newer 2 engine planes can haul the same kg and use a lot less fuel.
Yeah. When I was a high school student, we set up the new school network (end of the 90s). We used Windows NT on all the desktops and the domain/file server and SuSE Linux as a firewall/router. The whole setup was super stable and NT ran well, even on the modest desktop hardware.
When we graduated, maintenance was taken over by a local consumer PC builder and had no clue experience maintaining corporate/organization networks. They replaced all desktops and servers by Windows 9x (probably 98), as it was all they knew and the network was constantly down, desktops broken/compromised, etc.
NT 4.0 was a really good OS in those days for servers/work desktops. It was less great for games (though IIRC there was DirectX at some point).
Despite Win2k and NT4 kinda having a rep for not for gaming, I found that most games actually did run on them fine. Especially Win2k, probably the most underrated OS of all time in the Windows lineup.
Really I think it got that rep mostly from people trying to run DOS games or shoddy ports from DOS to early Windows that still relied on a bunch of DOS stuff.
I'm surprised seeing improvements in Suspend/Hibernate support.
I've used OpenBSD on laptops before and it was _fine_. I thought they primarily target servers. This feels like laptop specific improvements. Perhaps to the benefits only to those developing OpenBSD.
On laptops with good support openbsd is sublime. I have a thinkpad x131 that I still use as a daily driver. Mainly because it runs obsd perfectly. never any problems suspending and resuming. I replaced the wifi when it was new to a supported model along with much cursing about lenovo card whitelist. perhaps the only black mark on it's record. It is getting quite long in the tooth by now but it still meets my needs. I shall be very sad when it dies.
Honestly the most underrated feature on at least this thinkpad is it has three physical mouse buttons. So nice. Now I have to check if lenovo still does that.
Apple generally has excellent sleep support, even on my old falling-to-pieces unibody which would KP if you looked at it funny I don’t remember résume ever being a concern.
I’m not going to say their ever degrading software quality won’t affect that one day, and I know that some updates have caused issues for some people, but I genuinely can’t remember it ever failing me and not doing its job correctly.
This is a very clever idea. I've toyed with the idea of making a multiple site mystery challenge in the past, a bit like a geo game with real world tagging and drop boxes.
Upthread poster is wrong about deflation (at least, who it is bad/good for, its not clear at all to me what they think it is.) But you are also wrong about what it is.
> Deflation is prices are going up and wages are stagnant or falling.
No, deflation is a decrease in the general price level, not an increase (which is inflation), no matter what else happens at the same time.
You just (approximately) described stagflation (the combination of inflation and economic stagnation/recession), which, like deflation is generally bad, but is a very different flavor of bad.
