It’s interesting that the KB that patches this on Windows 11 (KB5063878) is the same one that was tied up in all the Phison SSD drama.

People still use Perl?
mkolassa · 10 months ago
Perl is a great scripting language to stitch together high performance C binaries. Not to mention that CPAN and the built in debugger are awesome.

Write it in Perl to deploy quickly and replace pieces with optimized binaries as needed.

It’s still used for new projects in far more places than a lot of people might realize.

When I was 11 or 12 years old I was simply obsessed with yoyos. And Tommy Smothers had his yoyo act, and I was just enthralled. Here was this fully grown adult (this was in the late 80's) doing things with a yoyo that I wanted so badly to do. I always thought him to be the funniest, nicest guy, just based on his act. When I read that he passed, I wept. So long, Tommy.

I watched their Just Say Yo video so much as a kid. It was so much fun.

Wonderful human being, Tommy was.

I haven't heard or see someone mentioning Defender Chronicles for a long time now

Definitely one of my all time favorites. I keep an iPad Mini 1st Gen around just for it. Sad that the sequel no longer works once their server went down.

Defender Chronicles, ChainRxn, Zombie Wars 2, etc.

Maybe even all the games I purchased before they were updated to include all the IAP’s.

I am so looking forward to the possibilities.

Seems to be a fairly catastrophic failure. https://github.com/ fails to load. https://www.githubstatus.com/ shows all green as of this writing. Nothing on the twitter yet https://twitter.com/githubstatus

edit: The outage is now acknowledged on the status page https://www.githubstatus.com/

edit: EU folks appear to have things working so it looks like a regional network fault

Looks like they finally updated the second status page to show the outage.
