Has the quality declined over the years?

I get the 2600 zine at a local book store and I like it but there's a lot of articles that I don't really care about.

It might be a good thing though.


2600 is locked into a format that was relevant 30-40 years ago and is nearly irrelevant today. In my opinion, 2600 is pantomiming a hacker aesthetic and have long since abandoned any commitment to an underlying hacker ethos.

I'm surprised that they're now offering a digital format as, at one point, they were taking a hard stance to not provide one. I guess they changed their mind within the last 10 years or so.

Notice how Paged Out is libre/free licensed, making sure that they provide a CC0, CC-BY or CC-BY-SA for their articles. 2600 is locked under copyright.


Is the adapter complex? It could be nice to post it on a blog or on the forum.



The solution is to tax the rich. But we won't.


Until YOU get rich.


It looks abandoned.


I've had this with multiple datadog libraries. Even offered to implement some features for the python one for free because we were missing a feature but they just never responded. Note that they had this feature in their php lib so it was not some outrageous demand.


Or complete?


> pg_tracing only supports PostgreSQL 14, 15 and 16 for the moment.

PostgresSQL is already at 18.


The last couple commits were about pg18 support. Maybe development stalled, but didn't completely stop

Also, tracing support is being upstreamed into Postgres proper https://github.com/DataDog/pg_tracing/issues/86 which would make this extension obsolete


Unlikely, as it states:

Warning

This extension is still in early development and may be unstable.


What did you use instead of wd40?


I brought in some spray lithium grease and he was happy with the results.


Thank you very much.


Maybe because facism favor loyalty over competence.


Arendt:

Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.

Same reason unions always work hardest when fighting on behalf of the worst workers. If you go to bat for a man who can't do better elsewhere he'll go to bat for you in return.

But wait, the situation is more complicated than that you say? Why yes, that's exactly the point. Two of us can play at the stupid smug oversimplification game.

While the effect being described is real to an extent, distilling it to the point you did is useless because there is so much more nuance. Why assume the place was staffed with first rate talent to begin with? And even if there is a lot of first rate talent many will stick around because they don't care who they serve (people not like this don't tend to make careers in government TBH).


I was expecting this to be for Firefox.


Yeah, CRDT seems to be the holy grail for p2p local-first apps.

I dream about this.


windmill is open-core.


Is open-core a sub-genre of post-hardcore? I generally prefer midwest emo, to be honest.


and tangled supports jujutsu change-ids.
