No law maker is going to look at a unused district fork as a valid protest.

Finally someone with a spine. Democrats take a hard look

Damn that 30 year old protocol for sneaking up on people.

At a previous job I remember a PR to do essentially

temp=$(mktemp -d) mv $target $temp rm -r $temp &

I thought it was pretty clever. Obviously you would need to make sure mktemp is on the same filesystem (there are good flags to just use a dot file in the current directory). mv is atomic on most filesystems and then the & just runs the rm in the background .

I used an OLED tv as my computer monitor for over 2 years. Never had any burn in.

Just mac. That used to be a flex.

To be honest back in 1990 having a tui with arrow key navigation in a start up rom was pretty fucking advanced.

I watched the first 30 seconds and it was just explanation about knowing nothing about the subject. (Precious steam machines and the steam controller). It didn’t seem relevant to me.

Exclusives doesn’t mean distribution rights.

Also gaming is coming faster to arm than apple is going to switch back to x86_64. (But still not that fast)

Hard to imagine but back in the day it wasn’t up to your operating system to distribute software. They were just a platform and you had open choice to obtain software.

Apple showcasing what their hardware and software was capable of was normal. I don’t think this was negligent but maybe naive seeing how things are run now. It was much better and we got better products and competition.

Budgie was an apple developer before with Marathon which was exclusive not because of any distribution rights but just preference for the platform.

Alas money talks.

Technically yes. Very much so.

I used to work at FB a a while back (working on infra, not FE or anything user touching) and we would have private development servers and occasionally I would need to do work on the FE PHP repo (called www) and would need to stay a development server for FB.

It would connect ti the various services and database as read only and was a private copy. It functioned just like a real webswver with the exception that the cache was stone cold. It would takes MINUTES to load the front page the first time. It is crazy how much caching just makes it functional.

The problem is that there are so many services and datasets read all the time.
