They had some cool form factors too. I remember I had one of the phones with a landscape slide-out physical keyboard.

Way more fun than JaCoCo (which I actually like): https://www.eclemma.org/jacoco/

An equally rude and aggressive response.

In what way? I didn't attack his character like he did to the blog author.

At this point you can abstract what you wrote to any kind of task. I'm seeing people generate multiple takes on one concrete topic, poop out all kinds of artifacts, and keep emitting them within and outside of the company.

Kids aren't allowed to play at the playground unsupervised or walk around anywhere by themselves. Cars are all now 4,000 pounds, have terrible sight lines and are lifeless. I don't like this world.

Wasn't this the same thing when enterprises started using cloud computing? Did the bomb explode for them?

Yes actually. After zirp ended, cloud costs got materially more expensive for enough enterprises that there was a good year or so of celebrated "we're moving back on-prem" stories on hn, where companies were announcing savings in the several to tens of millions per year.

I didn't grow up in Canada, but I miss these days where the universe of knowledge about computer tech and hardware wasn't impossibly large. It was possible to meet with people in meatspace and have real discussions with them. It's possible now, but it doesn't have the same vibe.

Also the hardware and software are so complicated, that probably no single person on this earth can carry any 64-bit CPU into his brain -- unlike back in the 8-bit and 16-bit eras, good programmers NEED to do that. I think the year 2,000 was sort of the thresh line.

I think it's a no true scotsman statement.

I believe one can be a good programmer without knowing where a memory register physically lives in a modern CPU.

That's for sure.

I'm curious to know how this will work in practice. I have tried multiple times for Gemini to take a look at what's on my screen on my Android device and create a Google Calendar event from it. A few times it works, but fails in the vast majority of cases.

The first time I soldered, it was for a job interview to work for a professor building gastric pacemakers after university graduation. My eyes were still sharp so it was actually kind of fun.

Is it a requirement in Hawaii because of the generally high prices of everything there?

It's just nice to have cause of the gas price discount and the fact that a lot of the product in US big box stores is sold at relatively sane prices with shipping and handling taken care of.
