The War on the Walkman

news.ycombinator.com Louis Anslow 2026-02-13 06:33:43

🗓️ On this day in 1979 the Sony Walkman was first released, marking its 46th anniversary The Sony Walkman is now an icon of the 1980s, eliciting nostalgia for the ‘good old days’ of owning music, rather than renting it. Affection for the device is now universal, but that wasn’t always the case… The sudden rise of headphone wearing pedestrians - spurred by Sony’s lightweight headsets (17% the weight of others) - caused unease about an unfamiliar new world quickly coming into view.

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2026-02-17 15:28:42

A troubling new trend is crystallizing in the tech industry. A company at the forefront of AI development lays off thousands of its human employees, then encourages them to seek comfort from the very technology supplanting them. It’s the automation of suffering, and it’s happening now. This week, Matt Turnbull, an Executive Producer at Xbox Game Studios Publishing, became a case study. Following Microsoft’s decision to cut thousands jobs from its gaming division, Turnbull took to LinkedIn. With

Development of a transputer ISA board I developed software for transputers in the years 1993-1996.

Overthinking GIS A roundabout way to downsampling data Maps in the Modern Era GIS is probably one of the best things to happen to cartography in the last couple hundred years. I say that with absolutely no knowledge of the history of map making, but GIS is wildly useful and consistent in how it is presented on publicly-accessible sites. I can go to the USGS National Map Viewer and am presented with more data and information than I could possibly ever find useful. Even more surprising is that

Companies then upped the ante in 2022 and 2023 by offering 200MP camera phones, and we’ve stayed at this resolution since then.
