I don’t think it’s woke that killed it. If they’d embraced the right with similar zest, the result would be the same. I think it’s ‘go divisive, go broke.’

Not sure what you mean about the Atantic. It is still an excellent publication of long form articles, IMHO.

A good read and a more reasoned version of the arguments Ed Zitron has been making.

Germany due to its history of being a conglomeration of smaller states has one of the widest variety of names in foreign languages, depending on the historical focus of those tongues on one or the other of the tribes/peoples: Deutschland (Germany), Germany (English), Allemagne (French, and similarly in Spanish), Tedesco (Italian for a German), Tyksland (Danish), with other variants in Polish and other languages.

Seconding your experience. Used on an occasional basis, benzos can be helpful without resulting in the horror stories related here. Of course, everyone is different and YMMV, but confirming that your positive experience is not unique.

Is a 50-ton boulder rare or super-rare?

What downfall? They continue to make great tools and I gladly pay for them.

That’s a subtle but compelling distinction. Thanks.

In the US, you have consented. It is settled law that there is no expectation of privacy while you’re in public. This is how paparazzi, among others, can work their trade. If consent were required, every star would ban photos of themselves in public. They can’t and nor can you.

> [On Windows] Your machine would be loaded up with software for various vendors that the manufacturer did deals with to lower the price of the machine.

So the only difference is that the vendor here is Apple itself. Honestly, not seeing much difference.

I use muse.ai for code analysis and so far, I find it excellent. I’m hoping JetBrains will make it accessible through Junie.

The second part affirms that it is centralized. There is nothing wrong with that except saying that because you can leave the community and go elsewhere, it is ipso facto decentralized.

This happens all the time. Mercedes is a fairly common first name for girls in Spanish countries. Then, of course Alexa, etc.

> nobody uses oracle

Their quarterly statements say otherwise. The layoffs are not a function of declining sales, but of cutting back to conserve cash for AI build out.

Interesting—they do detailed analysis and requirements up front. Reminds me to a certain extent of the maligned waterfall model.

I donate to them every year b/c I fully agree they’re doing a thankless critical job very well.

That was due largely to the designers of the language, Bertrand Meyer and his wife, creating the tools. The tools, the seminars, and the books were primary income streams.

The #1 vendor of phones in the world by unit sales is “dead in the water” b/c of a new $2K entrant?

This movie is getting lots of publicity without a single review saying anything about the actual contents.

There is one; you have not earned it yet.

You’ll get more traction, by stating way up top what AT is and who should care about it.

Reminds me of Andre Malraux’s remark that an unfortunate aspect of death is that it makes a life look like a journey to a known destination.

If learning algorithms in C is a traumatic experience, then you and I have very different definitions of trauma.

It's great to have it all spec'd out. However, I think specs like this suffer the same fate as war plans: they get modified quickly as soon as implementation begins. Nonetheless, it's good to have a clear idea of where you're headed. I just wouldn't call it "Final."

Making up events in your personal history is not plagiarism.

In the definition of it, living things are specifically excluded.

I don’t think Nvidia fits on that list. It’s a company with a pro-employee culture, very few layoffs, and many employees who have been there a long time.

Not sure where u get your information. Oracle Java is OpenJDK with a support license from Oracle. It is widely used in enterprises, and it is updated regularly.

It is a community implementation although the vast majority of contributions come from Oracle staff. RedHat, in particular, has made numerous contributions.

> What people cite and what actually is are completely different.

You state this as some kind of universal axiom. Many times what people cite is exactly what is happening to them.
