This would have been absolutely mind blowing back in the day!

Follow up Q: what are you supposed to do when the context becomes too large? Start a new conversation/context window and let Claude start from scratch?
Start in plan mode, generating a markdown file with the plan, keep it up to date as it is executed, and after each iteration commit, clear the context and tell it to read the plan and execute the next step.
Good idea to build low-fidelity mockups. SVG in my opinion is a better format for this job than text. For instance, in the screenshots from the article, not a single example is properly aligned. That is distracting and makes these assets hard to share.

It's hard to imagine getting work done on a shared Z80 machine with everybody sharing the same 64kB of memory. Z80s were already plenty slow and the working memory tight. Sharing that with other users sounds miserable.
It would usually be lightweight data entry, and it would work as fast as people could type (which was pretty fast for dedicated data entry workers).

facorreia commented on Why Half-Life 3 speculation is reaching a fever pitch again arstechnica.com/gaming/20... · Posted by u/LorenDB
What bothers me is that there's no mention of Half-Life 2 episode 3. Valve announced that they would switch to episodic development to "release games more frequently."
It was supposed to be a 3-episode story. They released parts 1 and 2 and part 3 was supposed to wrap up the story using the same engine.

Rephrase that as “is it a good idea to fake app usage to create misleading metrics for IT, while bypassing their filters for ISO compliance” and hopefully you will get your answer.

I worked on a data science platform that is being used to accelerate research for diagnosing cancer at early stages and for researching treatments for cancer and other diseases.
facorreia commented on COBOL has been “dead” for so long, my grandpa wrote about it wumpus-cave.net/post/2024... · Posted by u/hardburn
I worked for a company in the late 1980s that started developing with a 4GL product (Dataflex) instead of COBOL. The article is right that COBOL has outlasted most (all?) of those 4GL solutions.
Looking back, COBOL would have been a better technical choice back then. Dataflex's metadata-based dynamic UI and report generation saved some simple, repetitive work, but much more effort was wasted working around its limitations.
What kind of lift is there in just becoming a publisher from scratch?
I'm trying to imagine what their role is ... if you can just "be a publisher" or if you need a lot of cash up front or what.
I don't know the answer, but I imagine that the execs and staff that left as a block have some plan lined up.
