You can't access old.reddit.com with VPN these days. I wouldn't be surprised if reddit killed it soon.

It was supposed to be the react-native killer!

I once crashed gdm by accidentally leaving some object on top of my keyboard which depressed some keys for hours.

Your first few programming languages usually influence you the most for the rest of your career.

It's sad that you can't replace the infotainment unit in a new car with an aftermarket unit anymore. I imagine 10 years from now we'll have a fleet of cars with outdated infotainment systems that can't connect with whatever future version of bluetooth/carplay/android auto anymore. Imagine driving cars with giant but useless infotainment screens that can't do anything but playing mp3 off a USB stick because its outdated system can't connect to your new phone.

Ah, must've been a fortran developer. I swear they have this ability to make the shortest yet the least memorable variable names. E.g. was the variable called APFLWS or APFLWD? Impossible to remember without going back and forth to recheck the definition. Autocomplete won't help you because both variables exist.

If you're one of a tribe living in the jungle of West Papua, then yeah, it's basically survival of the fittest there with no electricity or modern amenities. If you're living in a city then it's no different than the rest of the region, but with small risks of armed conflict with the separatist group.

He did get burnt to crisp, so it's not a stretch if he got a fire phobia now.

The amount of junk polluting the internet is growing exponentially. I won't be surprised if future historians have trouble separating the truth from fiction, shit posts and LLM craps.

Just for some perspective, if you want to know how little reach the fedi post with the link to this blog post got: the first post in this thread already has more likes and boosts after less than a hour since posting it than my blog post ever did that he felt the need to confront me over.

The author probably wasn't aware that their blog post has a huge engagement in hacker news just the day before and the CEO got roasted there, so the CEO probably felt the need to contact the author to "correct" their post.

I'm more of a "if it swims like a duck, quacks like a duck, then it's a duck" kind of guy.
