Second Life was awesome, but it owes a ton of intellectual debt to The Palace from the 1990s, which had a robust and functional version of FORTH built into it.

Just came here to say Snow Crash deserves way better than this.

This is such a great addition to BBEdit's impressive legacy

Cool, thanks for the resources!

If it's a decentralized database then how does it enhance privacy?

The latest Macs already have this, at least some of them do. The audio output gets distorted the more CPU load is going on. Really fun on video calls.

Surely you're joking here.

Alexa, remind me in 30 years

I'm eager to see what can be done with the desktop tower workstation post-M1. I don't think anyone actually wants to have a slim laptop and use "the cloud" to "download more memory" but here we are in 2021 where people are saying 16gb max ram is good.

Do you have a source for this claim? There are plenty of mental health disorders (in the DSM-V) that are tied to one gender or another. Whether these are grounded in some physiological basis or serve to re-affirm social expectations is a whole other story.

FARC is not the rebel alliance.

What cities have gbit upload speeds on a consumer plan?

With today's broadband standards being so slow, this is a nightmare waiting to happen.

Intuit aggressively lobbies to keep the IRS from doing tax reforms. Who's actually messing with the free market here?

It appears as though they are not hiring teachers. Not sure why they're eager to find students but not looking for talent to teach those students.

There are 2011 MacBook Pro laptops that run as fast or faster than the most recent gen of Intel MBPs.

That's a bit off the mark. Ishkur's guide is a comedic masterpiece. No one considers it an adequate historical reference.

Until we live in some horrid future where computers no longer have storage and we all use the cloud, consumers need to buy HDDs too. Not just data centers. This is a retail-level issue, not a data center growth issue. It's the same as how GPUs aren't on shelves because people use them to mine -- ASICs are better but the ASIC game is hard for retail "miners" to get into.

What a wonderful instance of carcinisation! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcinisation

> I don't like the distortion that 128k mp3 introduces, but I imagine that in years to come it'll become a fetish for certain types of audiophile

This hasn't happened in almost 30 years of mp3s being a household format. The only feeling low resolution media evokes is frustration.

The clothes end up in third world countries where they are sold, hurting local industries.

As a developer, I routinely need over 128GB. 32GB is cutting is short.

Misleading title.

Copy and paste.

Not until there's a native, non-cloud IDE solution.
