6·15 days agoWere they generating a new recap every time? If not, then why automate it? If so… why?

Funny “Haha” or funny “Uh Oh”?
7·29 days agoA .tar archive is basically only the files cat’ed together, with a header and index added, right?
Tar does not include an index. It’s just the headers and data cat’ed together. You have to read from the beginning of the archive until you find the file you want. This is exacerbated if the archive is also gzipped, since you have to decompress all the files leading up to the one you want, as opposed to skipping over them as you could do in an uncompressed tar archive.
So why is there no archive format that just cat’es the compressed files together?
That’s essentially what a zip archive does. Each file is compressed separately and cat’ed together with uncompressed headers in between. Also zip archives do have an index which is what allows for random access and easy changes. The downside is that the compression ratio of a zip archive can be worse than a tar.gz archive.
1945 is a very cherry-picky cutoff.

It wouldn’t solve any problems that can’t be solved by other means, and it would create new problems that we haven’t had to worry about before. It’d be a net loss for everyone involved.

UI elements that expand and cover up other UI elements when you mouse over them.
“Flat” color schemes where you can’t even tell where one UI element ends and the other begins.
Infinite scroll instead of pagination.
Some species of ants invade neighboring colonies and carry away larva to work as slaves.

Mine can because it also has Netflix, Hulu, etc. built in.
