My problem is I become relentless about making the software do what I want it to do.

If I know something should work, and I can’t get it to work, I’ll work on it for days weeks and even months.

I hate to say it but sometimes the thing I’m trying to do isn’t even important, it’s just that I MUST make it work.

In the old days, big companies spent gazillions to buy companies when they wanted to add their software to their product lineup.

Amazon just takes it regards of whether or not the original developer is happy or hostile.

This is going to redefine open source.

Gotta love it when you go to the supermarket and the cashier “double bags” your plastic wrapped product.

This reads as manipulative and cynical propaganda.

Punish? I dint understand.

Politicians get votes to spend, either on backing or opposing legislation.

Actually it should definitely be the case that a line crazy proposal can be put up by an independent politician, who backs it with the votes they won. If other politicians oppose it, then they can spend their votes/power on defeating it. But of course if they spend all their votes on defeating things then they get nothing done. So so small initiatives would be able to get through, that currently cannot because there is currently no cost to politician opposing things.

Expendable power is the idea, not unlimited power, which is what we have now.

Democracy is a dictatorship of the majority.

The problem with our form of democracy is that once voted in, the winner is given power.

Instead, power should be expendable.

Votes that a party wins should be able to be used to either to push through legislation or to defeat legislation, and once those votes are used, they’re gone. This would lead politicians to be much more careful about how they expend their power, spending votes in what they really want, and spending votes to stop what they really disagree with.

Closely related concept is that it should not be “one person, one vote”. Instead, everyone should get 100 or 1000 votes to distribute across the politicians/parties that represent their many interests and values.

If/when the missiles start flying, I’d like to feel that the US systems are built by America’s best technology companies, which yes, very much includes Microsoft.

Other large, economically successful countries are spending huge on military tech and have their best people on it.

You’ll care when it matters.

If you’ve got a fundamental point of principle disagreement with the idea of there being a military, and the need for countries to project power, then you should perhaps consider working in a different corner of the it industry.

If anything, the world is heading to a much more militarized future. Rising economic powers are spending vast amount of money on building modern naval capability. Only a fool would think that now is the time to turn away from the countries need for increased military capability.

Arm based Macs is solving no problem.

There’s no alternative providers.

Countries don’t have the power to dethrone FAANG.

What is this? Context?

I wonder if everyone loves the work this guy does for a living.

There’s no situation for which “disconnect internet” could be the answer.

I wonder what strategy might have succeeded in Be getting traction against Windows back then?

Free from day one?

The big problem for any competitor to Windows was that nothing had the drivers support that windows had. Steve Jobs solves that by supporting only his own hardware. Drivers was a huge issue.

“Large company stops obviously inhumane/immoral behavior following gigantic uproar from hundreds of thousands of people after being caught red handed following years of secret misbehavior. Company Genuinely surprised, defends its actions, reluctant to stop profitable activity, but willing to do so given direct threat of action from government notoriously unwilling to stop companies doing anything.”

Just substitute in company name and alleged misbehavior and repeat over and over.

Is this serverless?

Pricing?

It’s normal to have emotions, ups and downs, and a life. Coding is part of that.

Let it flow.

I wanted to love vr but it literally makes me sick even to think about it.

Don’t bother.

It’s an emotional decision to be anti vax.

No logic or facts you can present will change their minds.

Key life lesson: emotional positions cannot be changed by logic. Wish I’d known that years ago.

Except perhaps factual accounts of children of anti vaxers who became very sick, with for example whooping cough or measles.

It’s also one of the most fun things an adult can do.

I’d do it in Postgres and use sql columns for all your qualifiers.

>> To me digital ocean sort of is AWS light, also really hope it stays like this.

DO just added Kubernetes support. Despite being pretty darn technical I don’t even know what kubernetes is and never intend to know.

So no, Digital Ocean is not planning to stay simple.

They’re crazy if it’s not open source.

People become obese because of emotional issues.

Can you say more about your story please.

The average professional website /web application looks more visually consistent and appealing than any Linux desktop, ever. No matter what desktop they always end up feeling weird and like the spacing is wrong or the fonts don’t match or something.

Put another way, it’s no longer hard to design brautfinand consistent User interfaces but for some reason that’s never been possible on a Linux desktop.

Linux desktops have always had a sort of Frankenstein feeling to them, clearly made up of a hodgepodge of boys that just don’t quite fit together.

China is buying political influence everywhere.

Are any/many big companies considering relocating computer manufacturing out of China?

Put in in a range of safe investments and live a quiet life.

You’re not rich, your very well off, it’ll last till your death in great comfort if you are careful.

Don’t start giving it away or spending it.

It contains a maze of twisty little passages.
