The person who put the first log on the bonfire gets exactly the same amount of wood back as the person that put the last

I’m sorry, H? How much farther down the alphabet do they plan to go before anyone gets any of that money back?

forget it, Jake; it’s Azure

yeah I mean a company the size of GitHub certainly can’t be expected to have enough staff to walk and chew gum at the same time

too bad, eh

I don’t understand why any of this would take submarine money to build. GitHub itself certainly wasn’t built with submarine money.

was hoping for OS/2, disappointed

I used to work at GitHub. I think you should find a new job.

Before Microsoft came along, the entire company was aligned from the bottom to the top around the goal of delivering a single great product. As soon as they bought us, that changed; there were now lots of ways for an individual to succeed at GitHub-the-division-of-Microsoft that had nothing to do with GitHub-the-product. Now GitHub doesn't even have its own top, the org chart just smears into the Microsoft one at some hazy point. Perverse incentives abound.

An organization like Microsoft can never recreate the magic that was GitHub. There's just too many competing interests and agendas that have absolutely noting to do with making GitHub better. In the time before I left, I actually encountered many people who didn't care if they were making it worse, if it advanced their other goals.

Was this written by an agent? It’s giving me a pain by the second paragraph.

should have bought a few thousand stars on the internet and then taken the promotion to director

"We're about to take a bath on these datacenters, do we have any other viable lines of business left?"

someone: (actual data)

HN user: not in my experience!

Wait, since when is Dohmke out? I thought this was gonna be Nat.

I really liked the local Amazon Fresh, until they discontinued "just walk out" and replaced it with those hellish smart carts. I scanned one item successfully with the cart, got completely stuck trying to get it to scan a second one, handed the cart back to the employee, and never went back.

I'm pretty resentful that people in the US are stuck using worse/less featureful versions of products from US companies, while the government in Europe can get these kinds of concessions for their people. If a company is legally obligated to offer a feature to people in other parts of the world, they should be forced to offer it at back home in the US as well, since we can't be bothered otherwise to pass any of these nice laws for ourselves.

When did a horse ever give anyone psychosis?

Forget the ethical or environmental concerns, I don't want to mess with LLMs because it seems like everyone who goes heavy on them ends up sounding like they're on the verge of cracking up.

LOL, fuck all the way off, Satya

Poked around for a while and it's mostly racist spam

This appears to be the same Bitchat as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitchat

Hadn't heard of it before

It's apparently "post a link to an OS with no further comment or discussion" day, first we get SmartOS and then Linux From Scratch and now this. Nice way to farm karma, I guess. Flagging them all.

Works in Waterfox (6.6.8)

wonder who it plagiarized here

Sorry, it's my fault, I migrated my playlists over to TIDAL earlier today

Hm, might try hacking this into https://tsl0922.github.io/ttyd/

This is actually my favorite style of documentation. Just hit me over the head with the whole thing, I can take it.

I clicked hoping for a smaller iPhone and I’m very disappointed that it’s just a sock to stuff my current oversized one into

We need unions in this industry so badly

I've been having great success with this one at my day job. Being able to apply all the container workflows to VM images has been a boon.
