As 'cattail' is not officially taken, I have to assume they are oblivious to having a little fun.

The "real world" is long term results. Yes, this is a joke amount of money for building an OS if the goal is conquering desktops and holding the territory. It is obvious to everyone the "Year of the Linux Desktop" attitude with only $10M in funding isn't going to end the way they want.

>DHH loves to say he's making the year of Linux on desktop happen.

I'd stay away just for this reason alone. Anybody that says this is either joking or has no clue how the real world works.

The stock really didn't move much (+2%) with this big announcement. It is a city; not a short-term idea we can forget about in two weeks.

10.6% smaller. Not bad.

Watching gas prices makes sense. Watching Costco gas prices does not. Their gas is not sold without the membership factor attached. You're selecting for an additional variable of nearby Costco members when you choose to track Costco gas prices. If Costco memberships decline, prices need to slowly rise. If Costco memberships rise, their gas prices can go lower.

3 felonies? Here's what that changes for vandals: Why should I bother with the saw at this point? I'll just use my gun.

The prices move on dozens of other factors, most of which include the word "supply" however some do not. Using Costco as an example will add "membership retention factor" into the mix of factors for price. Better to track all the Sunoco or BP or Mobil stations directly.

Let's nevermind this nonsense about waiting in lines.. I want to know more about what is happening to electrons after they trickle into your tank. Where do they end up when you go for a drive? Are we pumping them back into the air?

Tracking Costco gas doesn't make much sense as Costco doesn't make money on gas. They use it as a loss-leader for memberships.

>working with Android from the past few weeks

>Why has noone done this before?

This is a joke.

Yes, magnetars are considerably more rare than black holes and considerably more interesting to study in terms of raw horsepower. Imagine a type-2 civilization using them as engines or launchers for spacecraft to zip around the galaxy.

She still has a hit single dropping in 2045.

Full self driving is next. Gig delivery jobs such as Doordasher and Lyft have single digit years remaining.

Yes, WIN.COM was the file. All I can remember about Win32s is that it added another level of DLL hell.

And binwalk if you want to find the juice within the file.

To build LLMs from scratch, one must first learn how to build a computer from scratch because microchip prices are crazy. Oh and before that, Sagan says you need to make a universe. :)

When do we declare this status-quo? It was expected for several years, and new data is just piling up with the same conclusions from the last study.

Not a great idea for those in snowy areas of the USA. A short burst of snow storms and now to get to work you're dealing with typical access problems such as frozen doors, shoveling, ice, and cleaning up the melt or adding some small mudroom to get in and out during the day. Also, watching your kids play and build a snowman right in front of your window while you sit in a meeting would feel like torture.

>It wasn’t truly a full 32-bit operating system, because there was still MS-DOS at the core if you dug deep enough.

Yes it wasn't truly 32-bit but the core was not MS-DOS. It was a hybrid. The Win95 kernel was 32-bit and drove almost all of the system, including memory. 16-bit DOS was used as a launching pad and then it's job shifted to handle 16-bit graphics and other hardware that was unable to work with the new 32-bit kernel. So you booted 16-bit DOS, and as WIN.EXE executed, the system transmorphed from 16-bit into a 32-bit (kernel) OS but some of that core 16-bit driver code was designed to remain welded onto it. Even more impressive is how you could dissolve this 32-bit level and return the system to 16-bit DOS. That remains a very impressive achievement 30 years later. Happy anniversary Windows 95!

>Most of these links weaken your claim rather than support it.

Yep. Good catch, I think you win the argument. These are all distros that are under development and their underlying issues should never be called-out as handing the user frustration as they willingly chose to become a victim of the kernel.

I was just about to say that :)

Funny how the answer is yet again more tech: bathroomaccess.com - add one when you find it.

Ok fair point, here's plenty more of the same on stable. My point is Linux is always fine right until it isn't. Then you're back to a day of debugging your update.

This isn't a one-off niche user. Just look for more of these. You will find them.

The problem with modern stuff is it doesn't do the very basics. Sometimes I really do want UDP dumping out into a file on another part of the network. The modern setups forget how to do this.

Kinda right in terms of what? That we're still upgrading servers to push bits even faster? That we're staring at a screen for half the day? That we're days into fixing bugs that we thought would only take an hour? All of that has been true since the 80s.

The term LOL comes to mind.

I'm sure this will age like a fine wine by 2040.
