They did invest in Alibaba as well as ARM and Uber and runs the SoftBank Vision Fund. They may have failed huge on this one but have been doing quite good.

What do you mean by getting everything right by full-upgrade?

Yeah, I use IntelliJ, Chrome, Photoshop and a few other smaller apps and sometimes even run Win10 on Vmware but I never see any noticeable slowdowns. I do tend to quit apps that I don't use as I hate cluttering my alt-tab list.

Call me old, but these days everything including people are so ram hungry I cannot believe the days when things were being done with less than a GB ram.

People talk like having more ram feels like a champ but as developers you might as well want to think about how things can be achieved using less ram.

Who said about end users?

Many embedded systems and such use BSD because they don't have to release their changes as open source, which pretty much forbids their use of Linux.

If you meant by "servers" such on clouds, maybe it's already Linux only.

Why? Because you can end up with a single machine than having have to constantly worry about having same environment and data and all that between multiple machines.

If you plug in your laptop to an external monitor and a keyboard, you essentially get a desktop, except you can take it out there with you without worrying about leaving any data or config behind.

> I really worry about a world where all the servers run Linux.

As long as BSD stays with BSD license, it won't happen.

Why would devs type on the laptop keyboard for extended period of time?

If you work at a desk, you're supposed to add an external monitor and a keyboard.

Why do you even need that much? Seems a niche demand when 8GB should just do fine for most.

I've been developing on 8GB Mac for years with no problem. Doubt Linux needs more to do the same.

I work alone in Japan for my own company but boy people work too much I think. Some people reply to my message after midnight and that is someone who is employed and not someone running a company.

And some other people message me on Saturday morning and again, that is an employee but the good part is that for the people I know, they don't look unhappy or maybe they're just used to that work hours... I don't think I'll want to work like that if I'm an employee.

When I was an employee for the one year in my entire life, I asked for overtime (I was the only person getting it in a company of about a dozen people) and usually worked 9-10 hours for 5 days.

I think similar. YAML is a pain to keep the right indentation. I wish they introduce another format while keeping YAML as legacy format.

It is reluctant to write a config when just sending a file to multiple servers.

Is there a specific reason google uses puppet or just historical?
