I get taxed on it for being in luxury class. It is above all other sedans price range. It's luxury.

Still got ways to go in coding, compared to chatgpt4 and copilot. Also doesn't back down when caught lying.

You misread. Google paid Apple more. That's why Apple turned Bing sale offer down.

Google search results are horrible! For some time now they bump dummy websites that copycat original work and simply litter the site with ads. Even with these sifted out, their search isn't better. I use some obscure engine and I'm not missing hits.

The days of altavista are long gone. Alternative engines, like qwant, are good.

So, Apple keeping Google as default because they're good? I don't buy it.

Time to put Voltage (the garbage integration Vertica uses for the same purpose) out of business. It's such a horribly documented and needlessly complex tool. Even their engineer had a hard time clarifying unknowns.

You guys are too sensitive.

You missed the point of code style.

Nice! Thanks!

They threw DB[s] and Kafka into the mix. Python would get them the same net gain, if not more, with less dev cost. Python's I/O workloads perform on par with Go/NodeJS (See FastAPIs 3rd party quarterly benchmarks as an example).

If they rebrand Python to Metal or some other name, people would recommend it left and right. It's just suffering from bandwagon criticism. Yet it remains one of the top 3 languages for years, covering several domains.

Easy to learn hard to master syndrome. Your comment says nothing.

* GIL - Your use case more than likely reimplements one wheel or another. Whatever compute you're doing should be deferred to the right tool (DB, queue, etc). Otherwise, if it's I/O, you're on par with Go and NodeJS (See FastAPI 3rd party quarterly benchmarks as an example)

* No sound typing - I don't know what this means. If you're concerned with typing, you can use pydantic for highly performant type checking and input/output validation.

* No proper package management - Poetry is excellent, been around a long time and is the unwritten defacto tool. Pipenv imo is close second. This argument feels forced as no one argued Go isn't a language before gomod was solidified. The community was fragmented and people wrote/chose their own tool.

* Runtime type checking only - In a world of interprocess communication, I don't see how this is relevant. You're not using Pytyon to write firmware. If you're not writing tests and just depend on successful compilation, you're writing bad code. Tests not only cover your point but are an excellent self doc. An added value, imo, that isn't spoken about enough. Regardless, tests cover this.

* Interpreted - A good last point to nail in the "your comment says nothing". What does this imply? That it's easier to debug with an interpreter? That cold starts are slow and your design is flawed given the tools?

Anyway, with C and Go bindings, most arguments against Python fall short. It has its place, yes, but a much wider one than the bandwagon regurgitates.

You forgot the prefix "speaking out of a bias for MS".

Chat app wasn't bundled with office. The base version only came with word, excel and powerpoint. MS is striving to make Teams a default Windows app. It is a default Office app today. Which means you're forced into it as an org with a need for some doc tools. It works poorly on all other OSes. It is simple to synergize between other MS tools but other synergiez magically work poorly (attach file, highlight bash syntax).

Sure, someone who isn't proficient in law _may_ miss these oversteps. Additionally, the US is heavily plagued by corp corruption (aka lobbying) and they'll always signal the OK sign. Luckily, the EU is more mature in the domain of privacy and free market where shady practices are fought early on (relatively). Rather than after it is too late and a large corp killed all competition.

The issue is not just VS Slack. There are a plethora of privacy oriented office products that have zero chance when a corp like MS exploits its OS brainwash to nullify all alternatives.

The amount of corpo brainwash in the comments is amazing: "If it's so important... jump through a hoop... and another... and another".

Fact remains - Google is unique in its constraint. It gives no added value over competitors. Why accept?

Advocate for closure of nuclear plants in Germany and sign deal to fund coal company. All through shell corps, media and political brib... Sorry, campaign funds.

ChatGPT helps Cybercriminals with grammar to form high quality phishing emails. Some trained a model on malware and sell it to aid in malware development and email composition.

Summarized the bloated thing in two sentences. Garbage site. Garbage popups. Garbage empty blog post.

I love how well the absolute majority of these sites render on a phone. What did front end modernize? Wasted resources?

Great opportunity to take the plunge into a Linux phone, like Pinephone. Still in beta quality but with more people, more can be done.

Personally, I daily drive it with compromise. Had I been a secretary, it wouldn't cut it.

Because the desktop OS is used for so much more. But if the core functionality is missing, the point is lost. A better analogy, as you like to play games, is a VPN company releasing their app as open source, after being critiqued for privacy issues. Only to find out just the GUI was released but the rest can be installed using a plugin system.

The difference is one is planned. Google promotes dependency on their services. There are alternatives to gapps. There are also alternatives to paved roads. The problem is they add more hoops to jump through. They care about the 99 percentile. Those won't keep chasing said hoops.

While large orgs help maintain relevant FOSS, to them, AOSP is left to rot. In our case, several k employees, we have teams dedicated to relevant FOSS tools. My wife, at a startup, have 20% paid worktime a week to contribute to whatever they want.

Your analogy, at face value, makes sense. Adding a few more lenses to the analysis weakens it severely.

It's part of a long term plan. A couple of years ago I noticed the same decision in Control Panel help links. They do not allow choosing a different Open With other than Microsoft programs. Even though I had some other browser installed, the only browser in the list of Open With was Edge.

The issue is that [non-tech] people don't go around changing OSes. So long as PCs come with a default of user-hostile-OS-1 or user-hostile-OS-2, the question of "Linux year of the desktop, when?" is invalid.

That said, be responsible where you put your money. My wife no longer uses iOS. I no longer use iOS or Android. Raspberry is a media server for TV.

Maybe it's because the tiny strip of land doesn't warrant so much attention. Coupled with facts like Jordan is also part of Palestine and is 4 times larger than Israel. Or basically just reading a history book rather than watch CNN. I recommend Time Immemorial, a book that cites all its resources in the appendix rather than cramming a bandwagon narrative.

Oh, the best one (not in the above book as that was written in the 1990s, before the following): Israel offered the Palestinians up to 94% of all lands they claimed their own. Unilateral, without demands. On 3 occasions and under 2 different PMs. The Palestinian leadership refused each time with no counterdemand.

Read a book.

Footnote: This isn't to say propaganda isn't ravaging the West.

The banking industry makes 25 times more profit than all other industries around the world combined. It has no competition and abuses this fact. Isn't it interesting how little awareness this issue has?

3k complaints for 3 million cars? "Only verbal" (common practice)?

Sounds like click bait more than anything.

All of these are basic requirements. Yet they're available for use only after AWS specific proficiency. Why do I need an AWS setting to permit DB access when the DB had that feature already? I don't need the extra layer of complexity AWS puts on most things.

Tangent - Their docs are abysmal. Written like a novel which I'm meant to cross reference to their SDK.

No. Adults aren't made of sugar. Meaning was clear and professional using layman terms.

Most managers don't care for people like you. Companies sell their product. Another successful fiscal year. Irregardless of the absolute shit code base, wasteful architecture and gaping security vulnerabilities.

Use a Linux phone. Contribute. My bank has a website.

Clueless, to say the least.

Humans tasked with the same, having no extra information (aka context) will, on average, perform worse.

If an AI performs better than the average human, why should I hire you? Both err, one is orders of magnitude cheaper (and GPT4 performs overwhelmingly better). Don't call us; We'll call you.

because both of you narrow visioned the scenario to what you do daily. it is a common use case to ssh from a jump server, use ssh based CLI tools and debugging. the issue stems from windows users who are coupled to GUIs. the behavior pattern increases IT and DevOps costs unnecessarily.

an alternative example: our org solves the issue with TOTP, required every 8 hours for any operation; from ssh/git CLI based actions (prompted at the terminal) to SSO integrations. decoupling security from unrelated programs. simple and elegant.

Step 1: Don't use Windows, Mac or Android.

Damn, someone better call up Mozart and let him know his compositions are canceled. Big Ego Olivie sentenced his non-creations as notes used elsewhere.
