yester

This is why HN exists, almost gives me the same joy as flipping through tech magazines of yester-decades.

Makes it more interesting than hello world and a little bit of a throwback to the years of yester.

That's the thing, our jobs are already super easy and super low-risk compared to the chimney sweeps of yester year.

How much easier is it today than yester-decade to write, and deploy an application to multiple platforms (and have it look/run similarly)?

I heard of open data, but I doubt that can replace RFC based protocols of yester yore.

Do it by hand like the olden days of yester-last-week before Sonnet 4.5?

In yester year with sole bread winner couples, I believe the woman was also in charge of social life.

Whatever the case 66,000 is relatively small to the IBM of yester-day/year/decade.

Back in the yester years we would write Perl scripts to do all sorts complex data processing(With SQL of course).

And much of the reason we're stuck using slow, uninspiring, and polluting technology from yester-year is a lack of public will.

I do not think the kids today are as comparable to the kids of yester*.

Perhaps VCs of the yester-years may have liked them.

Really does give more credence to the "doomsayers" of yester year who denounced secure boot.

For you to make this claim, you are also claiming that the parent post is blaming "all of society's problems" of yester-year (pre-Facebook) on AOL.

Weg" (Dutch) - "way" (English), "gister[en]" (Dutch) - "yester[day] (English), etc.

I'd argue that depends on what you mean by "innovation" -- Google has been pretty busy, meaning specifically developers on their payroll, churning out more or less useful Web API implementations, certainly at a far more frantic pace than people traditionally _blamed_ browsers of yester-decade for.

Yester-day feels plausible and kind of elegant.
