Ah yes, you sound like delightful people to work with.

I think you meant to post this in the other thread. His one is for companies looking for candidates.

Or you can just not go out of your way to break the perfectly good text wrapping my browser already supports.

Fable 7 isn't a thing, 5 is the one people are currently excited about. They're talking about a hypothetical more-advanced future version.

The way you worded this has me imagining the counterfactual world where lots of people traded Bill Gates a linker for a compiler.

Compilers cost real money back then. Word got out that this was how you got a free compiler. You just wrote a linker, and you got in touch with Bill and offered it to him. (You did have to write your linker in a single huge file of assembly, because you didn't have a compiler or a linker yet. It was fine, more programmers knew assembly back then.)

Microsoft has thousands of linkers. They're the linker company now.

Most of their other products started as test cases for their linkers, that they also happen to sell separately as a side business because why not.

Excel is a notable exception, because due to a series of overengineering decisions, it actually is a linker that gradually gained spreadsheet features.

No.

For humans who are paying attention, sure. In practice, not really, because it's all done by scripts without an easy way to query "is this domain shared".

Datadog, of course.

Let's rephrase then: why does owning stock imply financially supporting the company? After IPO, you're not buying anything from the company, you're buying from other investors.

Yep. And then they discontinued it saying they wanted to add features that wouldn't work on IRC.

Yes. That's why I was using the IRC bridge.

That would seem to be why they asked how repeatable the pattern was, in a tone heavily implying the answer was "not very".

I used it and liked it when it was Credit Karma, but I am not doing extensive data entry in a phone app. Do they have a web interface now?

And the receiver has no guarantee that I didn't photocopy the paper before mailing it.

The JVM did that many years ago and nobody liked it. I can't help but think wasm is just the same idea but worse.

Trivially yes: how many sides does one atom have?
