jeffhuys commented on A look back: LANPAR, the first spreadsheet   technicallywewrite.com/20... · Posted by u/rbanffy

The article highlights that LANPAR could handle forward references (cells referencing other cells not yet calculated) through iterative evaluation loops. This seems mundane now, but was genuinely novel in 1970 and didn't reappear in spreadsheets until Lotus 1-2-3 in the 1980s.

Yea, I just read that too.

What's the bug situation? It sucked last I checked, over a year ago.

Is there a way to get a useful visualization like a burndown chart out of their bug tracker? The people who have created it seem unaware that one important task of such a tracker is to reveal the big picture and help answer questions like "Is the project getting better or worse?" They should study the Github Insights tab. https://orionfeedback.org/

Yeah, imo, it’s nowhere near ready for 1.0. I was a big advocate for this browser but recently changed because of exactly this. That, and it’s very slow after having it running constantly, I found myself routinely quitting and re-opening it every hour or two to get normal speed back, or my RAM for that matter.

So I’m back on Safari.

Ew. For some reason it looks absolutely disgusting to me.

It's extremely disrespectful to call the people from minority and diminishing cultures racist or white supremacist for protecting their own culture. Birth rate / demographic / cultural shifts are real problems. Elon has never talked about "white people" or their superiority. These issues have nothing to do with skin color. Same issues are faced by many asian countries as well.

It’s called suicidal empathy.

You know, feel free to keep thinking this. In my experience Grok is the best. I don’t let myself into weird groupthink that happens just because trolls took advantage of Grok’s absence of lobotomy. Kind of a superpower.

But there is no window. There is a box with a dragon in it. When I bring my eyes closer to the box, I expect to see more of the box, and more of the dragon. You can try it with any real box; substitute any appropriate object for the dragon. Pick your favorite 3D environment that features walls and dragons; notice how both grow, covering more of your FOV. This is what I expect to see as I draw closer to the screen.

The screen is the window.

So, basically, MinIO is dead.

Time to move on, folks. Dead horse is dead. Kicking it will release toxic decomposition sludge.

So actually it’s neither verifiable or repeatable in any real-works definition of the words.

This is your second comment in this thread (as far as I’ve scrolled) saying this without an explanation. Could you elaborate on why?
