Working in one was the single most dehumanising experience of my life, and I was the one implementing the workflows. I agree that they are absolutely a huge target for automation - I can't think of a single step in the entire workflow between campaign conception through to deployment and associated follow up (document fulfilment, etc) that couldn't be made more efficient and frankly more humane with massive automation. And that's without any kind of ML/AI in the picture. Once you start throwing AI around I reckon you can skip up a whole skill tier from there. In this case, I for one welcome our new robot overlords. | null | 11,500,859 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |

11,501,179 | null | comment | bsharitt | 1,460,678,668 | Mostly tried it and got used to it. I liked the defaults a lot more than I do vim(nothing some plugins, a good .vimrc, etc can't fix), and I found it much more natural to use extensions that I ever did vim, so once I got Atom matching my usual vim setup I found myself extending beyond that. Most of it's probably stuff I could do in vim too, but adding extensions on whim feels a bit more natural in Atom.<p>I still spend a lot of time on remote systems, so vim is a big part of my tool box. There's also the weight of Atom. If I'm working on big project, I get it all loaded up and work in Atom, but if I just need to tweak a thing or two in a file, vim is still my go to. | null | 11,499,973 | null | [

11,501,187 | null | comment | beloch | 1,460,678,786 | The original Everquest ran a variety of different servers under different rulesets. I just checked and, suprisingly, they still do! At one point this included an unpatched version of the game as it was on release day, but no longer.<p>At this point in time the only appeal of the game to me is nostalgia. I don't think I'd care to log in and immediately upgrade my formerly maxed out character with 40 levels of free exp just so I can go to the latest newbie zone and not get slaughtered. That would sort of trivialize the entirely excessive amount of time I put into that character.<p>I played WoW's beta but then went entirely off of MMO's for good (such a waste of time!). I'm sure there are lots of people who would love to revist the release version of the game. Clearly, the demand is there. Instead of shutting Nostalrius down, the Blizzard team should be buying the server config and data off of the team that was running it and then keep it online. They have to protect their IP, but the cost of keeping long-time loyal fans happy (even if they aren't currently paying ones) happy is pretty minimal. | null | 11,500,656 | null | [

11,501,243 | null | comment | nickpsecurity | 1,460,679,662 | It's true that safety and also security can impair the usefulness of something past a certain point. It's also irrelevant to our current topic given the <i>existence of systems that don't self-nuke easily</i>. This is a UNIX-specific problem that they've fought to keep for over 20 years with admittedly some improvement. There were alternatives, both UNIX setups and non-UNIX OS's, that protected critical files or kept backups from being deleted [at all] without very specific action from an administrator. And nobody complained that they couldn't get work done on or maintain a VMS box.<p>So, this isn't some theoretical, abstract, extreme thing some are making it out to be. It's a situation where there's a number of ways to handle a few, routine tasks with inherent risk. Some OS's chose safer methods w/ unsafe methods available where absolutely necessary. UNIX decided on unsafe all around. Many UNIX boxes were lost as a result whereas alternates rarely were. It wasn't a necessity: merely an avoidable, design decision. | null | 11,500,587 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |

WoW was to me one of the earliest salient examples of a game you didn't really own, but only were permitted to rent.
