Youtube was full of pirate music videos. If Google (or some other heavyweight) didn't buy them, they probably would have been sued out of existence like Napster and etc.
There was some discussion about the Finder icon in a previous thread a while back. It's a riff on the original 'Happy Mac' power-on-self-test icon. My take is it's based on the reflection of the user's face against the…

IIRC they did have streets, but people were allowed to camp 'off the grid'.
Because you could get pirated games from the other kids at school. Or at least that seemed like the most popular reason.
Yeah, good point about local containers being the future. And maybe the local LLM just auto fixes your COM registry or whatever. Just remember the classic fails such as Java, Flash, Silverlight, etc. Web always had the…
Aside from the actual politics, DHH is clearly in "fuck you mode". I certainly don't trust that he's going to make decisions in the interest of the broader rails community.
As Zed said, it was fastcgi. But yeah, Rails 1.x got a lot of hype before it had a functional application server.
IMO, something like Basecamp would not be any better as a 'native' app. (probably worse as web tech makes the 'polish' more accessible.) Not to mention, those VB client/server apps were not as popular with users as HN…
I gonna be generous and guess this was upvoted as top post for being maybe possibly midwit-correct, hoho you are so right good sire, reddit-fedora-tip herpdy-derp. But it would not at all be incorrect in American…
Just for the record, I did see him posting on HN, and he seemed highly motivated by $$$ (and pride). He certainly seemed rational, other than the fact he shouldn't have been posting here. Businessman makes bad business…

It's a much older term, eg. Lotus Notes was described as a document database.
Yeah, a huge chunk of IBM's service revenue has always been effectively mainframe services, with wall street accounting spin. I suspect that almost zero companies adopted mainframes after 1980 or so, so it's ALL legacy…

IIRC, that "w3c validator" was overly strict, and would error on attributes it didn't recognize, even though they were technically 'valid' (and supported in ~every browser). So there were always a couple things like,…

Just as some off-the-top history, MS-DOS was clearly obsolete, but it hung around for like 10 years too long because people couldn't quit it. It was a DOSSY DOS world. "Protected Mode DOS" went through the IBM/MS…
Just one little thing: East of Buena Vista Park, you have a lake, it is actually the road which goes around the park. Also, I would love to zoom in more. (pls give me the pixels)
Those sets were marketed as 'Expert Builder' in the USA, so maybe the challenge was part of the point?
It's fine not to be an AI user, just some people there seem to be holding their breath and stomping their feet until it goes away. Which leads to a really repetitive and boring discussion. (I'm not a member there, but…
I don't think that was it. Slashdot would only run stories from their 'content partners' like ZDNet and the Register, so they were always 2 days behind Reddit/HN/Twitter/etc. (When RMS was 'cancelled', that would have…
