Why is there a date of 1968 in the Intel Chipset Device Software Utility?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-05 10:14:50

The Intel Chipset Device Software Utility shows a date of 07/18/1968 because it is symbolic: Intel was founded on that date. The reason this date is used is to lower the rank of drivers in concern. This is necessary because it's a supporting utility that should not overwrite any other drivers. Updating these drivers is not needed. Do not worry if you don't have the latest version.

Google in 1999: Search Engines Escape the Portal Matrix Like Morpheus in The Matrix, Google gave web users a stark choice in 1999: take the red pill and experience a new world of search quality, or choose the blue pill and stick with the bloated world of portal search.

Combining Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern into the first transcontinental railroad in the U.S. would create a 52,215-mile colossus that could offer seamless service from coast to coast, bypassing longtime interchange choke points in Chicago and at gateways along the Mississippi River. The two railroads confirmed today that they are in advanced merger discussions. The talks, they said, may not result in a deal.

Nullable but not null

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-08 05:22:02

When working on backend applications, especially those with evolving database schemas, it’s common to see a recurring pattern: A new field is added to a model. To avoid locking the table during the migration, the field is added as nullable. The application logic is updated to start filling in this field. A backfill job runs to populate the existing records. The field is left as nullable. People often forget the final step which is updating the schema to make the field non-nullable once the dat
