Worse, the unsubscribe link is behind a tracker url so pi-hole blocks it. Drives me nuts.

At 16, I had a 24 hour BBS running in my bedroom.

Could it have been the SANS hyper encabulator video? (Same guy)

I am but(t) a knife sharpener.

Not defending Twilio, but this isn’t their doing. Every SMS gateway service now requires this due to new anti-spam regulations by US authorities. (FCC or FTC or maybe both.)

If you’re going to marry, marry well. I'd wager that 90% of not getting what you want in adulthood relates to compromise or deferral to your spouse.

Screw Google. All this tells me is that Google’s interviewing and hiring practices suck.

> The release of Roam was a Cambrian explosion in the previously moribund field of personal information management

What an astounding claim. I guess if I had even heard of Roam up to this point, it might be less astounding.

One avenue for text games is the BBS “door” games of the 1990s, which you can still find online today (see: telnetbbsguide.com). Trade Wars 2002, Legend of the Red Dragon, and Barren Realms Elite are some classics. These are turns-based games where you log in each day to play your set of turns. It can be addictive.

I was sympathizing until “I need hope that I’ll become rich.” Well, there are lots of ways to get rich, most straightforward being to get a tech job and work every day. But on the other hand if you really care about your idea I think you should write about it, join the company that is implementing it, keep researching it, keep loving it. I just can’t tell whether you really care or just want money.

Maybe not, but Wordpress is arguably one of the main applications that has kept PHP relevant over the years. They could reach out a hand.

The shade cast on Wordpress at the end is the article is a little disappointing. Ok, they’re behind on versions but for many years there was not much progress in PHP. Now PHP is flying and dependent projects are not keeping up. What can the PHP team do to help facilitate?

They’re bootleg.

I feel that I should be expected to have some commentary on this post, but I’m just going to quietly admire it instead.

Take-away: this is the time for the ambitious, the clever, the go-getters to… go-get. What better time to stand out above the crowd.

All the armchair education experts in this thread who say it’s not the distraction, it’s the poor teaching, (1) have never set foot in a k12 classroom as an adult; (2) completely forget their own experience as k12 students. You can have the most engaging lessons and any small distraction will kill the momentum.

Not seen mentioned in this thread: Slack. Their oidc implementation is standard and well documented.

Where have I seen this before? About 34 years ago on Star Trek: the Next Generation where android officer Data is trying to understand humor. Interesting insight from the science fiction writers then. Data could operate the starship and solve complex problems but had no understanding of jokes beyond being able to recite them from his library.

I love explainers like these because my Python code looks like C without the curly braces and semicolons.

The whole point is that the producer may be hostile, or buggy, and the consumer must handle that. Asserting that it “must” be encoded properly does not make it so.

No, but I borrow them from the library! Paper books are great, even more so when you can read them for free.

Why is an ISP concerned about Linux ISOs? Or is this a code word for warez?

It’s a 1990s BBS.

He was invited.

I’m fond of the shit ton.

The Canadian metric equivalent is the metric crap tonne.

Great for nostalgia. I wanted to play Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, but it crashes during the intro scene with "An error of type 3 occurred."

I said this on a past XMPP thread. It is a dead protocol due to mobile. I loved XMPP but without a push system it is useless on modern mobile operating systems.

What's the meaning of this negative commentary? Is HE known to be at the bottom? I have been using their DNS services for a decade and don't think I've ever experienced a problem. In fact I am impressed at what they offer for free.

Starts off as an interesting thought exercise on privacy. Turns into a crypto shill. Crypto does not yield privacy. How many times does this have to be said?

I have participated in the forums of dslreports.com for years and kevinds is one of the more knowledgeable in various areas.

The badmodems guy seems to be upset that he is outsmarted, honestly. Thanks to him for the good he has done, but if he can't handle being in a room with others smarter than him, this departure is for the better.
