Thanks for the link to the interview. I never seen such a high level official squirm for so long. Kudos to Jon Stewart for pushing this.

MKBHD did a recent video on this [1]. The car charging infrastructure is just as important to the electric car experience as the electric car itself.

Doesn't matter, they are too big to fail™.

Questions: Hiring 30k over two years is alot of people. Where do these presumably qualified people come from? Are they MBA types? Finance majors? Do they take people off the street and train them? If so, how do we know these new people will be a net positive and not just administrative bloat? The article says they will hire more data scientists, but how many "data scientists" does the US pump out each year, and what does it take to convince them to work for the IRS?

I have so many questions on how the mechanics of an organizational change like this works.

Mini rant:

I wish developers took 5 minutes to actually write (or show) what their app/utility/program actually does, in plain english terms. The more I browse random Github Repos, the more I see this lack of clarity.

> A keyboard logging and presentation utility for presentations, screencasts, and to help you become a better keyboard user.

This description tells me nothing of what it does. Even the linked website subtitle is useless. "A Keyboard Utility For All Your Windows Presentation Needs" tells me nothing. Luckily they have a video gif on the website that makes it more clear on what it does, and it really should be in the Github readme page aswell.

Any chance this can run offline in a standalone way, just like excel? This seems really cool, but asking the PM or marketing to run NPM commands to build and open a *.grid file is a no-go.

+1 on graphics tablet. I got a Huion HS611. Surprisingly cheap and it becomes much easier to draw diagrams, annotate images, sign signatures, etc with your hand instead of a mouse. Highly recommended for those who need to draw, make diagrams etc.

It paraphrased right there in the Techcrunch & MS blog post article, second paragraph.

I watched the video and saw 7.5 seconds compared to the older 15 seconds and was surprised that they are presumably proud of this?? Do they have no shame or do they simply do not know better? I worked on a data intensive app with 2D/3D graphics that launches in fractions of a second. All teams needs to do is primarily show some images & text.

Of all the companies that exist out there, Microsoft definitely has the resources to make full native apps for all the platforms they want Teams to run on.

I found it strange that they are using a ARM Renesas chip instead of your more well known brands such as ST Micro, NXP or Microchip. Renesas was fairly late on using ARM cores compared to the rest of the industry.

Then I read the comment on CNX-Software. Renesas has invested 10 million dollar to Arduino. [1].

Now it makes sense. Gotta follow the money.

Explain Jira then.

I appreciate your answer but the whole point is to do everything from the command line. If I need to use another application, I can just open VS Code in the directory and search from there directly.

In the article, they provide this:

>rg . | fzf | cut -d ":" -f 1

What would be the easy windows equivalent of

> cut -d ":" -f 1

??

So I might aswell ask here: I want to search for a string using ripgrep, select one of the files from the result list using FZF and then open the selected file with VS code.

> rg . | fzf

How do I do this on windows (NOT Linux)??

*Note:* Assume I already have ripgrep, FZF & VS Code installed.

A whole world of creative opportunities open up when the toolchain and related debugging tools don't suck. Check out this wild video[1] of someone modifying and debugging a game in real time.

This is a failure of the regulatory government agencies to do their jobs. If we actually had regulators that actually did their jobs, MS, Apple, Google, Amazon, Samsung, etc would have been smashed into dozens of smaller companies.

Its called Windows 10 LTSC. I have been running it for years and everytime I use a non-LTSC version of Windows, i'm baffled by the amount of bullshit MS manages stuff in their OS. It's almost as if they are actively trying to make people leave their ecosystem.

Please don't give them ideas.

Reminds me of this great HN thread [1]

This is a weird take.

No, alot SW devs (the type that work at FAANG-like companies) are actually spoiled, relative to most other industries of the world. Perhaps, they have gotten so used to is that they don't recognize it. You can absolutely make an argument that the rest of the world's workforce is being abused, but that is speaking from place of privilege and its easy to be a "champion for the worker" from your ivory tower.

> Elon is spoiled though, in thinking he can treat folks as fungible.

That is because they are fungible, though. Twitter is not some paragon of technical excellence and innovation. Its a website.

No they wont. Its corporate virtue signalling. As one example, I remember back in 2020 1000+ vowed to leave Facebook [1], but guess what...they came back.

The sad thing is that people are suckers who actually believe alot of this corporate PR.

> are going to cause the most talented people to go to greener pastures.

People keep repeating this trope as if Twitter is some paragon of technical excellence and innovation. It is no such thing. It is a popular website with a textbox for user input.

You don't need "talent", you simply need to people who get the job done.

Seems like this plan requires foresight and/or planning. The same people who are often lazy also often lack foresight.

How do you know it wasn't a Ukrainian AA missile? Someone posted a telegram photo suggesting it was a S300 AA missile [1]

What scares me is that everyone is speculating and jumping to conclusions without hard facts. Behaving this way can easily escalate some trivial situation into something more serious.

If they were genuinely concerned about name sniping like that, they could of did the same.

What is a "actual car"? Genuine question.

Exactly. Reading all the replies (so far) in this discussion reads like a left-wing talking point pamphlet. Alot of the stated reasons here are straight up silly and over dramatic. People simply don't like him because he does not share their values as much as they think he should.

But with spending money, you can theoretically have more information on the buyer which you can use to help identify and fight spammers/bots & their networks. For example, you can limit one twitter account per credit card or registered user (identified via payment method). If they are found to be spammers, you just kill the account and ban the payment account(s). They can still obviously work around this, but the cost and difficulty for the spammer increases.

I don't know how the financial transactions & stuff work in the background, but the point is that you have more information and more options.

Windows search is hot garbage. That's why I install Everything Search [1] on every windows PC I use.
