American cities were utterly destroyed by these kinds of projects.

My first job was writing Tcl code to orchestrate various little c++ apps that were used for data processing to create various terrains for a flight sim training app. Love the language. But that was a long time ago.

It's interesting how housing in some countries is seen as a store of value (mostly the anglosphere) whereas in others it's seen as primarily a utilitarian purchase (continental europe and japan)

If I had to choose between the 2 models I'd probably pick the euro/japan one, just out of the logic that you need a house to live and hoarding them for wealth generation seems to have a lot of negative externalities on the economy. It's not really a productive use of capital.

BBEdit is one of those classic software products that will always be associated in my mind with the Macintosh. Been a Mac user for 31 years. A shame that other Mac shops from that era like Ambrosia or Casady & Greene didn't make it.

My sister in law is Thai and it really seemed so wild that the term they use to describe Europeans was probably borrowed 800 years ago and refers to a long gone historic European empire from the Middle ages.

Salsa is similar in the sense that it just means sauce in Spanish but it was borrowed into English as the word for a very specific condiment

It's Terrible at its Job too. Theylps, personuel, and theirsestorical are not words

Yes, almost impossible to find someone otherwise

Did code warrior/metrowerks have something for system 6?

Sort of, but for any reasonable enterprise the amount of human hours to work on and process them is a huge waste of money when payroll rules are supposed to be the same for all your employees (or at least the same for various groups)

For a long time I used to work at one of Kronos's competitors. This space is so incredibly behind the times that it doesn't surprise me ar all. Up until recently time capture/entry software was still on premise (or even via paper time sheets!) For most large enterprises.

As someone who grew up on the classic Mac os this is astonishingly well done. Bravo

About a month or so ago I had a very rude interview with the person who would have been my manager at a very large and well known FinTech company.

I had already passed the phone screen, the 2/3rd rounds, and did well enough on the on-site to warrant a final interview to see if I was to make the cut - I was told it would be focused on the technical presentation I prepared as part of the on-site.

The interview started off ok, just confirming the company I worked for and the industry I'm in. I had trusted the other interviewers at that company to be honest and ask questions in good faith and they all were for the most part. However, this specific interviewer used some leading questions in order to prove a point about how FinTech is far superior in complexity to the industry I worked in and I wouldn't be able to hang. We didn't talk much about my presentation.

Very rude for a guy who had only been there 4 months and didn't come from fintech himself. I'm bitter about it but ultimately I wouldn't have wanted to work for him anyway.

The gnu utilities are really something special. I love anytime I get to use them in concert to solve a problem.

> If you add enough housing+residents it will lower the values as the places become overcrowded metropolises less people want to live in.

Maybe at some extremely high level it becomes untenable but both Manhattan and Paris are very desirable places to live and they have 3-4x the population density of sf.

Workforce software? New world systems? Llamasoft? Barracuda? I think there's more out there than you give credit for.

Rest in piece Compuware.

6 years later and I definitely regret taking a counter offer.

Spiderweb software is really legendary for anyone who was a Mac user in the 90s. Really great products.

Surprised with this they didn't do like Amazon and make a ms version of android

My parents had a powebook 160 when it first came out.

Wonderful, high quality device that we kept for years to play with as kids long after the 68030 could run any modern software.

I believe France has a higher birthrate than the us

For example the place by me charges 11 for a 12 inch pizza and 25 for a 24 inch. That's 4x the pizza for a little over twice the price!

I don't necessarily think this author is wrong. But I think the 4chan terminology is a little bit tryhard.

As someone who's partner is a therapist I strongly agree. It's a very valuable service for those who need it.

Interestingly enough I believe this is partially why there was a "wages for housework" movement[0]

>Two 12 Inch Pizzas have less Pizza than one 18 inch pizza

Love this one. Always go for the biggest pizza you can
