You mean McKinsey?

Will be interesting to see if Everest moves ahead after this.

But how will she enjoy life if she doesn’t make an income anymore? Fairly naive post.

Breathing exercises can help.

Just wanted to say your podcasts are really good. Many podcasters aim for quantity over quality; with you it’s the other way around. Thank you!

Exactly my thoughts. I worked in a company that was CMMI 5 certified. It was a bureaucracy.

You don’t get the white on blue boot screen, unfortunately.

I always thought SF was relatively safer compared to other U.S. cities, eg LA?

I long for the white on dark blue boot screen. So stylish!

If I could, I’d still be running Windows NT 4.0 just for the simplicity and GUI. It was the best OS to come out if Redmond. I wish they had stuck with their “workstation” strategy, but unfortunately not.

This is very cool!

I’ve been waiting for a guide to come and take me by the hand…

Quoting Noam Chomsky: “Make rich people happy and frighten the rest.” You are so wrong.

By contrast, the US total budget request for military spend is $773B in 2023. That says something about the government’s priorities.

I am of Danish origin and stating that the central government has a limited role in healthcare is just downright incorrect. The Ministry of Health (Sundhedsstyrelsen) sets the budget, determines national practices, manages the public health insurance scheme, and manages the list of approved medicines. Yes, execution of healthcare is with the regions, but there has been a significant increase in centralisation of healthcare since the “amter” were disbanded.

That assumes that the end-user know what they want, which is seldom the case.

You can have good public healthcare without the need of the notion of 'claims'. The Scandinavian healthcare system is a good example (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthcare_in_Denmark).

This is the reason we need universal public healthcare.

Good luck automating the socio-technical nature of organisational politics and requirements capture…

WOPR.

AfterStep was also a nice NeXT like experience. I don’t think it’s maintained anymore. I used to run it on RH 5.0 back in the day (ca. 1999).

Nice job. Is the name a pun on “yak shaving”?

Unlikely.

The recent line of credit is not a bail out?

The future Enterprise will be a bunch of bots that email each other ridiculously long emails waffling on about nothing.

Enter: Microsoft Bob

This calls for a Dilbert cartoon

Looks nice but pretty expensive as well. 1500 pounds for a keyboard has got to be good!

How about COBOL / DB2 / zOS? A lot of financial institutions use this and will for the foreseeable future. They cannot get enough COBOL devs.

Imagine a chat application with Teams that is actually /usable/. I really miss the days of Pidgin. Fun fact: the KDE / Linux client for MSN had a feature whereby it would notify me (by opening a window) if someone had clicked on my profile in MSN Messenger and started typing a message, but not yet sent it. It was a really nice way of freaking regular MSN Messenger users out.

I cannot remember what the name of the application was but it was very handy.
