He said that the program displayed an error message on the command line. That's diagnostic information dumped to the terminal.

If you haven't read his memoir you definitely should, it's a well written piece where he reflects on his life, what he did wrong, what he did right, and the joy and pain that followed him through it all. He was a flawed man, but he was a good man. He will be deeply missed.

Edit: Oh man, I can't believe I'm crying at work over an actor.

Do you not understand the difference between needs and wants?

I understand your confusion, but here's the truth of the matter: None of this has to be done. If anyone on the DFSG team does not want to do this work the answer is simple: Just don't do it.

Yeah but if the AI is doing the work, why should I pay you?

I'm just not sure why it has to be one or the other. Look at NeXTStep. They had a menu bar (or I guess a menu panel) and a ribbon, although that term didn't exist yet, and it was definitely not 100% there yet.

I'm sure mouse latency is a big issue for iPad Mini users.

I know there's a sizable contingent of people who just think a bigger number is better, but realistically this is a device for passively consuming text and video content that is typically around 30 fps anyway. Why waste the battery power on faster refresh?

Hopefully you're somewhere that the cello site the other fella posted ships. Sceptre probably also sells them in your locale but I wouldn't know about that.

Neither were dumb TVs in the 90s, but they were still somehow affordable.

Sceptre still sells dumb TVs in the US.

Digital signage displays are not TVs though. They are much more expensive and frequently don't have features that dumb TVs had 40 years ago such as speakers, TV tuners, and multiple inputs.

The moderation problem wouldn't have been hard to solve on USENET, it's just that nobody wanted to do it. It could work exactly like moderation does on Mastodon, where each admin is responsible for the content on their server(s). There isn't a technical reason why you couldn't do that, and even give individuals moderation rights on specific lists. Of course, this only affects your particular news server, but it lets the white supremacist post their insane ramblings over on Giganews, while you and I read less toxic version of the thread over on Cozy News. If you don't like the moderation on your server, go find another one.

> that's why peer-to-peer filesharing died

p2p file sharing is still huge, though. Most people just put their seedboxes behind a VPN to avoid getting DMCA notices.

I've never heard of such a thing but that's definitely not a company I would do business with. If my current bank tried that shit I'd be gone.

React was over a decade ago.

> and yet they’re being praised for being the example of best engineers.

By whom? I haven't seen anyone say something positive about Meta or their employees for at least 15 years, unless you count people who were being paid to write PR articles.
