Possibly LSM compaction.

Completely understand the work/life/hobby fusion.

And I think that you and GitHub went through the stages of life together. They probably weren't exactly parallel, but I bet you measure and remember your life through GitHub's life to some degree, along with the projects you had there.

There's no question that with your drive and acumen that you could build the GitHub that you both had and want. It might be your next chapter.

Guy made it for the C64, even with good music!

Possibly from the 1970 Stephen Stills song "Love the One You're With"

Flink. It has more momentum than Spark right now.

OK, here's something:

Jim Rothwell (see the gallery image and enlarge it) was supposed to release something called Ace of Aces for the Ultimax, it seems, IIUC.

I didn't know about the Ultimax until 5 minutes ago.

EDIT: Here's the image link:

I had considered that, but noticed the price and as classichasclass points out in a reply to me (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43949843), $595 was the intro price. They're also comparing against the Atari 800 instead of the 800XL, so that's another piece of evidence. The 800XL was released in 1983.

It's a 1982 brochure, but they show Ace of Aces in the games section.

The Accolade Ace of Aces (WW2 combat flight sim) wasn't released until 1986.

It seems that this may have been a different Ace of Aces -- perhaps a version of the Nova tabletop game that never got released.

Anybody know anything about this?

Drivel. Not surprising because this guy is a kid -- graduated in 2016. Talking about life experience when he has none:

“”” I remember clearly the day when the accountant showed me that we could effectively double our monthly sales and still not have enough to meet our eventual payroll obligations and that's about when you just finally sink into it: You're done. “””

If you need your accountant to tell you this, you were doomed from the beginning.

What you keep calling "read repair" is actually just "repair" or the longer phrase "anti-entropy repair". "Read repair" is something different.

Hasn't been my experience. I have recent 11-month and 7-month gaps and it hasn't been a problem. Additionally, I've switched companies a LOT during my career and I don't get asked about that very often. When I do, I just say "I kept getting offered better opportunities and more money" (100% true statement).

That usually ends that part of the conversation and we get onto something more relevant.

This is my guess, too. Apple recently bought TupleJump and I think they're in acquisition mode wrt database technologies and talent.

I didn't walk away with anywhere near the analysis you did, so I added an edit to my original post.

You can't simply hear Thiel's speech and directly get what he wants, because saying it would cause too much backlash.

He wants to use the government's massive resources to carry out projects that he's aligned with -- perhaps even that he has control over.
