Their shareholders sure do.

What does it mean for open source to survive? Exactly what software are we talking about here?

I don't know about everyone else's experiences, but the AI agent that I use every day at work would rather install a tool or library than spend tokens recreating software that already exists out there. As such, the argument doesn't make much sense to me, personally.

I read that book earlier this year and really enjoyed reading it. The audiobook was also spoken by the author.

Considering all the minor grammatical issues I'm seeing, I think it's very much written by a human.

The optics don't look good for Microsoft, but we don't know their side of the story.

Same.

I left a really good job for a year, to go work for a company CEO'd by a buddy of mine. I had a bad, sinking feeling in my gut from the very beginning when In interviewed with my new boss (not my buddy). Sure enough, I fucking hated working for him, and quit after a year.

When I was leaving my old job, I remember rationalizing it to myself that I would regret not doing it if I didn't try. I have mixed feelings about that job -- not necessarily regret for taking it, but definitely some regrets for how things went down at the end.

With that being said, if I had turned down that job, I don't know if I would regret it now or not. Who's to say?

Anyway, I got my old job back, and lasted there for several more years. It's still the best place I ever worked.

I remember having this interview with an HR person several years ago (like in the early 2010s) where she asked me all these vague, difficult to answer questions. None of them were technical, and I can't remember a single one of them now, but they reminded me of the vague questions we get from various IT audits.

I can confirm this. Our Model 3 doesn't charge as fast using a NEMA 14-50 plug connected via the Tesla-provided mobile charger.

When we moved to a new house, we bought a Tesla wall charger, and it indeed charges at higher amps, but I don't know if the extra speed has necessarily been worth it since we primarily charge the car overnight.

And I'm _still_ laughing. LOL

Since when was there ever a plan to disable IPv4 on the Internet? Just because IPv6 is around doesn't mean that IPv4 is going to go away.

Where was that coal coming from?
