I did this in late 2023 and got a response in two days.
This does remain an absolutely horrific business practice.
This. The 'black circle' in the tutorial is no good, maybe a dotted circle instead to make it clear you're supposed to be tapping empty space and not a black bubble.
Paul Graham's essay today: "We should have a conscious bias against defining new forms of heresy. Whenever anyone tries to ban saying something that we'd previously been able to say, our initial assumption should be that they're wrong. Only our initial assumption of course. If they can prove we should stop saying it, then we should. But the burden of proof is on them."
My side project was to remake the Commodore 64 game, ENCOUNTER from scratch in three.js, adapted for both mobile and desktop. I got pretty far.
Then in 2017 I interviewed for an Engineering Manager role at Facebook (now Meta). The role was with a web performance team.
I'd barely had time to prepare - at most a week - and my coding interview was not amazing.
In the final interview segment we were discussing web performance and I mentioned the ENCOUNTER project as running at 60fps. We pulled up the game on the interviewer's random Android phone and it worked well! It turned out the interviewer was a fellow C64 nerd and we bonded over shared memories.
I learned later that the project code was used as a tiebreaker to get signal on my coding ability.
I'm working at Meta to this day!
The writer & comedian Richard Herring devised a fairly complete set of rules for this, calling it Consecutive Number Plate Spotting (CNPS). It's amusing, https://www.richardherring.com/cnps
You can convert a cheap USB floppy drive into one that reads Amiga disks using a Drawbridge from https://amiga.robsmithdev.co.uk/ - I've done this and it works.
Notice Amiga Forever 10 adds direct support for this setup, so the emulator can read from that drive plugged into your PC.
I recently did this and found pretty much everything still worked. The creator of AMOS is still around at https://www.aoz.studio and their Discord will help you with any AMOS issues!
It's really excellent as an emulation machine for retro gaming. I have an X-Arcade dual arcade controller attached.
It's great because 1. there's a compact keyboard built in, and 2. the 400 comes with a giant heat sink and I can overclock it >10% higher than base rate with no issues.
We're still actively working to resolve issues with Identity/Authentication. Future updates will follow when there is significant progress to report.
To summarize; some long-lived OAuth tokens have inadvertently been invalidated.
This may affect the following Cloud services and will manifest as authentication errors:
Cloud APIs using OAuth tokens, and related services that use them
gcloud SDK
Cloud Storage gsutil
Cloud Dataflow
Note: not all customers are affected by this.
OAuth tokens may be recreated by running the following commands:
Hi, Chronos Product Manager here ('air' on github).
Status: Having fun creating issues in the wake of the Jepsen post : )
I can say that Mesosphere is 100% committed to both Marathon and Chronos. You're right that Marathon gets more attention for the moment, but we have grand plans for both.
A strength of Mesos is that it's an open platform. If Chronos isn't right for you, there are solid alternatives. I'd appreciate if you raise issues against Chronos though so we can improve it : )
Excuse the plug, but if you'd like to help us improve these widely-used frameworks we'd love to hear from you: https://mesosphere.com/careers/
