I had some books that referred to it as .NET Server printed before the name change. In the long history of terrible Microsoft names, this was a rare case where they were able to right the ship.

I find it interesting for your example you chose Moment.js -- a time library instead of something utilitarian like Lodash. For years I've following Jon Skeet's blog about implementing his time library NodaTime (a port of JodaTime). There are a crazy number of edge cases and many unintuitive things about modeling time within a computer.

If I just wanted the equivalent of Lodash's _.intersection() method, I get it. The requirements are pretty straightforward and I can verify the LLM code & tests myself. One less dependency is great. But with time, I know I don't know enough to verify the LLM's output.

Similar to encryption libraries, it's a common recommendation to leave time-based code to developers who live and breathe those black boxes. I trust the community verify the correctness of those concepts, something I can't do myself with LLM output.

Really impressive since Internet Explorer 5 for Mac was the best browser anywhere at the time. First to support HTML4 & CSS1.

One unexpected upside moving from a DC to AWS is when a region is down, customers are far more understanding. Instead of being upset, they often shrug it off since nothing else they needed/wanted was up either.

Has any CEO known a failure of this magnitude?

It was originally an internal tool, so I would guess either A) he doesn't have permission from all the contributors or B) he used reused code from elsewhere within Microsoft that wasn't open source compatible.

A lot of people here put Unix on a pedestal, so finding a published book that so explicitly hates Unix is quite novel. Furthermore, the criticism doesn't come from the typical demographic, Microsoft Windows users.

Solr and Elasticsearch are both Java servers built on top of the Java search library Lucene. There are plenty of articles on the internet describing how they differ. However since they share the same core, so they are very similar as well. For the context of this discussion, you can consider Solr & Elasticsearch as interchangeable - a potayto, potahto situation.

This question comes up commonly on reddit —- yes iMessage is very popular here. In my experience - Facebook Messenger, Snapchat, Discord are the top messaging services.

Whatsapp is not uncommon to be sure, but I would wager a significant portion of users in the United States have it installed because they chat with people overseas.

Signal & Telegram are pretty small userbases.
