Well HDMI is better than all the standards I used before it. Never did something with DisplayPort but for what I can tell it's Apple related (right?). I used DVI-I, DVI-D, VGA, and even old stuff in the past.
There is the vesa standards organization with a pretty good history of successful display connections standards vga(analog video) dvi(digital video) and displayport(packet video) and very little drama affecting the end user with how the connection is used.
Contrast this with the hdmi consortium which put together the hdmi standard. originally hdmi was just dvi with a built in audio channel. and while I will concede that the audio channel was a killer feature and resulted in the huge success of hdmi. They really did very little technical work and what work they did do was end user hostile (hdcp rights management)
It really is too bad that display-port is sort of relegated to computer monitors as it is better designed and less end user hostile than hdmi. but hdmi with it's built in audio channel won the market for digital video connections and by the time display port was out people were, understandably, reluctant to switch again. While display port is better, it is not enough better to be for the end user to care.
Have you even bothered reading any discussion here? I can't downvote you but its easy to see why others did so, a very lazy and clueless comment about very basic of tech everybody uses, on Hacker news. You can for sure do better.
yeah I still have my old Panasonic SL-SX410 from 1999 or so, barely larger than the CD itself and with included AAA rechargeable NiMH batteries - kind of special at the time and it would charge the batteries itself (no separate charging station needed). I actually still have the original batteries and they still hold a very small charge. Maybe can listen to one or two songs lol
Yeah! and check out that little "remote", allowing quick access to pause/play/skip and volume control! I could just keep the CD player in my pocket and be walking and listening to music, never needing to take it out of my pocket basically. Super cool :)
Would love to work on a project with this as a rule but I am working on a project that was build before me with 1.2 million lines of code, 15 years old, really old frameworks; I don't think we could add features if we did this.
Same. The legacy project that powers all of our revenue-making projects at work is a gargantuan hulking php monster of the worst code I’ve ever seen.
A lot of the internal behaviors ARE bugs that have been worked around, and become part of the arbitrary piles of logic that somehow serve customer needs. My own understanding of bugs in general has definitely changed.
Most likely this can be said about a lot of languages, most languages are being maintained and improved. I am an hired expert in Java and I needed to explain some new languages features to some colleagues that have been introduced recently, I only mention them if they actually improve readability though.
I think PHP might be slightly different than other languages as a huge amount of people use this to create their first website as a hobby.
Kubernetes is sometimes just overkill to deploy a simple application and just zip, unpack and start a script is sometimes too fragile and crappy. This is something I would like to try on my Pine64 when I run some simple utility (online) software.
Even with people that are not famous it can be difficult. My wife knows three people with the same name. So when I ask with whom are you going out she needs to add the city to make me understand.
Part of why in many times, ‘of x’ was a common ‘surname’. Also, profession - basically ‘Bob the Smith’, ‘John the Baker’, etc.
A lot of places (India, Brazil) still use one of your parents on official documents to disambiguate (Bob Smith, son of John (or Jill) Smith from Smithville).
