got rebooted at 332k @ normal. maybe being an OS wasn't my calling :)
So unfortunate with the timing, I wish they shelved it for a few years instead. At any other time this could've been the thing to entrench Steam, PC and Linux as finally THE gaming platform. At this price and features…
There are already simpler alternatives, and yes people hate them too. Usually for the opposite reason of k8s: something they need isn’t included, and now bringing it is difficult or impossible. Fargate and Cloud Run…
Damn, I remember playing games in 90s instead of watching TV like my classmates, and daydreaming one day I’d be able to talk about games instead of what was on the TV yesterday. Now everyone plays, watches or at least…
HN is one of the closest to it IMO. I sometimes think the very Web1.0-ness of its interface and its hostility to mobile browsers are purposefully made speed bumps before becoming fully mainstream. Also time passes and…
Just the fact it got 16 comments (2 from me) already is a fun little nod to the asymmetry of effort on generating crap vs. being on the receiving end.

That's not the same number, at least not on my user.
All your examples are also in the category of "individual vs. organization" though.
IDK about UK but in Germany it’s the law that employees can request 80% work at 80% pay and can’t be denied except for significant operational reasons and such. As you said, it can be a double edged sword to be the 80%…
That's a huge oversimplification though. Group 1 would mostly consist of some of the most ardent social progressives and some hippies, and the Group 2 is most everyone else and basically the policy in every country…

I was just trying to remember where did I last see this magic number of days.
I remember managing to play Crysis under Linux with Wine and I was SO impressed. Never would’ve imagined one day almost every game would be playable.
Isn't that very fitting with the spirit of the times? Reading 4-day week futurism while working 5 days as you always did, hoping it doesn't get to 6. This one and UBI are the two classics of 2000s optimism and naivety.

People really look through rose-colored glasses when they talk about late 90s, early 2000s or whenever is their "back then" when they talk about everything being simpler. Everything was for sure simpler, but also the…
