- plus report servers and others that run on obsolete versions of Windows/unix/IBM OS plus obsolete software versions.
and you just look at this and thinks: one day, all of this is going to crash and it will never, ever boot again.
- I think the main question is: do your app get unknown input (i.e. controlled by other people).
Browsers get a lot of unknown input, so they have to update often.
A Weather app is likely to only get input from one specific site (controlled by the app developers), so it should be relatively safe.
- Poor for high speed connections () or very unreliable connections.
) compared to when TCP was invented.
When I started at university the ftp speed from the US during daytime was 500 bytes per second! You don't have many unacknowledged packages in such a connection.
Back then even a 1 megabits/sec connection was super high speed and very expensive.
- > I crawled my way out of poverty, so you can too
Sounds for me like "I could do it on my own, so nobody should have to help you".
I really hate this mentality of not helping others. Everybody gets better when everybody gets help.
- My Miele hums with so low frequency that it sounds like a truck is passing by.
- 1) Get rid of all the margins. I'm not here to look at postcards, I'm here to read text. old.reddit is good.
2) Font is too small and light. Make subject font much bigger. The 2nd line is not nearly as important as the title, so title should be much bigger. (your darkmode is better at this than light mode). Personally I prefer Verdana to AppleSystemFont as the latter is very light.
1+2) The posting page has too much vert space between posts and too small font. I'm here for the text.
3) I don't care about icons. They don't help me to decide "do I want to read this posting".

- When a video is loaded on a Cobalt browser, why can't they redirect to something like youtube.com/cobalt/player/123456
This way they could keep an old html/css/js implementation running alongside the upgraded one.
- I feel too many humanities teachers are like your brother.
Why use 10 words when you could do 1000. Why use headings or lists, when the whole story could be written in a single paragraph spanning 3 pages.
- I agree that for tables there can be a difference in use but when IKEA has a dresser series named "HEMNES bedroom series" then that argument kind of goes out of the window.
- I didn't see the filter because it is only shown for wide windows (over 1250px wide) or when clicking the "All filters" button and is then at the bottom of the list.
The list even isn't sorted and looks like a SELECT without order from a database.
It is really odd they don't have a (sub) category page for each of the series.
- We already have this in Denmark as we have a lot of wind mills: when the wind is blowing a lot, the electricity prices goes negative!
5th October was one such day. From midnight to 17:00 the spot price was negative or zero.
Taxes and distribution costs make the consumer price a lot higher than zero.
- Also: why can't they show all sizes of a product jusst like when choosing t-shirt size on a normal shop?
e.g. this dresser is available in many sizes but you wouldn't know from the product page: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/storklinta-3-drawer-chest-white...
At best you can then search for "STORKLINTA" but the result list has the other sizes mixed with all sorts of other products such as beds: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/search/?q=STORKLINTA
- Same in Denmark with cash: anybody below 60 using cash in a supermarket is very likely having dirty money.
Cash is simply not used anymore by normal people.
Electronic payment (including between friends) just works here. It is easier and faster to pay with mobilepay than to use cash.
- Now you have code stored in your database which you don't know what will do when you execute it.
Sounds very much like the security pain from macros in Excel and Microsoft Word that could do anything.
This is why most PDF readers will ignore any javascript embedded inside PDF files.
- This is one effect that a lot of narcissists don't understand: You get more by giving some away.
So you can get only get to the top when you spread coins around.
- "multi-year residency" in medicine is part of the education.
We don't have that for software development.
I'd say that the problem is that the diplomas (degree certificate, ...) are useless when hiring software developers.
A doctor who has a diploma is much more likely to be a useful/good doctor than a person with a "computer science" diploma will be a good developer.
- The model (of the world) is not the world.
Just because the model fits so far does not mean it will continue to fit.
- A more important factor is that socialized healthcare often acts like a single buyer instead of each hospital being a buyer.
This can make even small countries into relatively large buyers which can make better and more long term deals.
- Denmark went 2 steps further: we no longer have area codes and all phone numbers can be mobile or landline.
In old days the numbers were distinct but these days the overview just says "mostly mobile" or "mostly landline": https://digst.dk/media/x3tmvqsl/nummerplan_2020_farver.pdf

You can definitely have failure correlation without having centralized services.
