The shared "w" with Warp triggered some memories. I hope things go better, but after being burned once I don't see myself getting off of p10k ever, possibly for the worse.

Everytime I see a post about Japan here, I search this. It was funny to find this likely GPT-generated result in the first few results.

PS: please delete this account?

This comes after this year selling the rights to the Transformers movie series, an arguably larger hit to their ability to have mainstream impact. It seems very unlikely they wouldn't be looking for a buyer for WotC as well, and trimming down to just the IP may be making it a better sale.

The company is struggling and likely pulling out all the stops the avoid bankruptcy, when you need liquidity this could very much include cuts to otherwise profitable segments.

Just "terrible for desktop". I don't have any data to back it up so take it with a grain of salt, but I suspect for desktop Linux use, Ubuntu is far more prevalent than RHEL, and probably hacker types will otherwise be using Arch. So this change probably really only affects people that should have switched their desktop distro a long time ago.

For server use, where this isn't an issue at all for most use cases, putting aside personal preferences, RHEL is likely not a terrible choice, especially on AWS.

From what I understand, cars in Japan are all capped at 180 km/h, and cars that are capable of more often have a gps check to unlock automatically when on a known race track.

180 is still quite high but at least not completely insane as some of the gangs were before that limit. A number would probably need to be found for any country, state, etc but the tech is probably ready.

I had a similar experience with a Chinese scam seller on eBay with a $500 GPU. tl;dr neither ebay nor PayPal would accept a claim because they had proof of receipt from DHL. Of course, a simple call to DHL could easily verify it was delivery to a different address but even providing an email from DHL to this effect as evidence didn't change the line. Eventually had to charge back and luckily in my case that did go through after about 3 months of process - the phone call from the card company in the process was nice to verify unlike everyone else it did actually get handled by a real person.

Naturally that was the end of my eBay account, PayPal unfortunately I do need from time to time.

I suppose this is just standard practice in the industry but wonder why it can be so consistently bad even with real evidence.

Not sure I quite follow the point, Microsoft maintains PyLance and Pyright, tools that have had a large positive impact on Python development, including AI. Not sure about live share, but if there are feature gaps with paid IDEs I would say they're not so large - the functionality available for free in VSCode or its ecosystem (enabled by Microsoft with the help of many OSS developers) has helped democratize software engineering in a great way.

Yes they have some problems in hiding their attempts for lockin on the Windows side but ignoring all the good and just labeling them terrible for that is troubling.

The article specifically is about AI. Don't most useful LLM models require too much RAM for consumer Nvidia cards and also often need those newer features, making it irrelevant that a G80 could run some sort of cuda code?

I'm not particularly optimistic that ecosystem support will ever pan out for AMD to be viable but this seems to be giving a bit too much credit to Nvidia for democratizing AI development, which is a stretch.

I suspect many developers, including OpenAI engineers are using VSCode, maybe TypeScript for frontend engineers, GitHub for sure which had no real features like pull request approvers before Microsoft money came in. Less at OpenAI most likely, but C# and .NET are going strong with bleeding edge tech like .NET chisel containers support. And I've seen great support from their engineers working on OSS, best of FAANG.

Google created the meme that a company could be evil or not but we're past that age. Let's focus on the experiences, and while not forgetting the past (yes the 90s do not paint MS well), be forgiving. MS seems to continue to develop and even innovate on a lot of this tech, painting them as an evil dinosaur seems frankly ridiculous. Yes as with any large company, there will be parts that are good and parts that are not.

Disclaimer: I have never worked at Microsoft and own no stock directly though so have ETFs. And through OSS I have some friends there that I strongly respect and think are awesome and always think of them any time I see hate talk towards MS, which is unfortunately common...

I think it's closer to 1%. If the average Googler drinks 500 lattes per year on campus, this seems to enable about 5 more off campus.

Most people in jail will have lost much more than just a blog. We really need to have some more perspective here, memories of when sites just disappeared completely all the time may help though.

I have something in Dropbox from many years ago which I don't remember. It tomorrow I found I couldn't login to my account since it was deleted, yes I would wonder what I lost, but I would also acknowledge that I wasn't actually using that data and had some forced spring cleaning. It's ok really.

2 years is a long time to not login to a single Google service given their reach, let alone the one that might have data like Drive. Speaking on principal, not reality , for a free service that costs the end user $0 and the provider >$0 makes absolutely no sense to complain.

Since the post was way too long to be without motives, presumably.

Am I the only one that remembers frequent outages before the acquisition? I didn't keep track in a spreadsheet or anything so don't have any data to back it up though but always assumed it's similar to Twitter of the day, hard to make a stable service in Rails.

If anyone can actually put out the data that would be great. I suspect there was a period post acquisition of relative stability that dulls our memory of frequently broken PRs which we probably just got used to at the time.
