"we are delighted..." said a spokesman

the only credible "conversation" is "well he would say that, wouldn't he?"

teamcity, youtrack, ...

is this like Wolfram's Ruliad stuff?

no

"counsel"

no

what's the point of this article?

I learned C from PGP

Jetbrains Mono Thin and Roboto Condensed make an excellent pair.

the way python virtual environments have been explained to people has caused as much damage to python as the 2 to 3 transition

this is a new low. also needs a (year) /s

new to many people, just not you.

by that time it's too late and should have been prevented appearing on the host much earlier

bad example in the article:

  export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin/"

better:

  export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin/:$PATH"

Impressive twisting of words. You should go into politics.

people commit homocide out of revenge, anger, or hatred knowing that the worst won't happen to them. maybe you think it's unpleasant or it hurts your feelings, but some people need deterrents.

you do not seem to be on the side of the victim.

they've made a series of customer-hostile decisions in the past few years, so this investment is likely this freight train gathering pace

nonsense

no tree view

you are giving the word "understand" too much depth here. it's pretty obvious what the parent post was getting at.

Guy seems to have lost his mind to AI psychosis and is just posting unmitigated obvious low-grade crap of late, which gets picked up here by his fan base.

Young's "double slit experiment" ffs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-slit_experiment

that would have required them to swallow their pride, and admit GNU tools were in demand, which didn't fit the marketing narrative.

I'm willing to bet they couldn't have done that because of the mind-boggling array of 1990s UNIX standards Solaris seemed to support. By the mid 1990s it was clear that the (platform-independent) GNU command line tools were generally superior to what was on Solaris, but presumably they had to keep all the old fossils around to satisfy their long-standing supply / support contracts with industry, defence, and government.

That was my guess back then, and it's my guess now. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong and you know for certain why.
