He is accusing you of not beign "leftist enough", which he regards the same as beign a traitor to the "good" side

Every other democratic country in the world doesn't. How you can justify allowing people to vote based only on "trust me bro"?

You have held a very public grudge against him for at least two decades. Don’t pretend now that you can be objective about anything concerning him.

I think he might be right

The massive amount of legacy .NET and older software still running in many enterprises isn’t a problem, but a huge business opportunity.

My prediction is that Microsoft will push hard their “Azure Virtual Desktop” product: remote, virtualized Windows instances hosted on their own servers to these enterprises.

In this model, the operating system running on the client devices will becomes largely irrelevant.

Yeah, that was totally me.

The only book I ever read for school was by accident. I was already deep into it on my own when the teacher assigned it to us

My 9-year-old still remembers that show and sometimes says things like “did you know that fifteen is a staircase number?”

I think the show gave him an intuitive understanding of numbers and made basic math easy for him

I'm 99% certain you don't have kids. The remaining 1% is reserved for the possibility that you do, and you just hate them and everything they stand for.

Otherwise you would realize what dystopian hellscape of an idea you are suggesting.

Maybe they could go there only half of the day and we could call those places "Schools"

I figured the big scandal would be some bloated government contract shelling out millions for Calibri licenses. But nope, turns out the guy just… doesn’t like the font. What an absolute clown show.

> One day, it will be, and much rejoicing would be had then.

You write like a Bible.

Not everyone agree over some things being bad

Are there any smart glasses being developed for people with prosopagnosia or really bad face memory?

I often bump into people I know on the street but can’t place their faces. A lot of them get offended when I don’t immediately recognize them, even though I remember who they are—just not what they look like.

> willing to work jobs for lower pay that Americans will never do

WTF? So your arguments is that stealing American jobs and not paying taxes “it’s good for the economy”?

Even if that were true, slavery is also “good for the economy”, but that doesn’t make it a good thing

> If the project has a formal organization with governance, it's not the person's project

A great reason for NOT having a formal organization with governance

Only Pakistanis knew from where the Dawn newspaper is, so the current title is more informative

What would you use instead?

Erlang/Elixir also has that

Yet

The algorithm is a mirror: it show more of what you interact with. You see “shady content” because you pay attention to it.

But you can also follow people and read only what they write, reply to them, and write yourself.

Building rockets, moon bases, making fossil fuels less critical… yes, I agree

The PYthon Software Foundation does not develop Python. They manage the package repository, do marketing pro-Python, and distribute money among people they like (in theory to promote the language).

10 of the 13 people of their staff doesn’t even know how to write a hello world program https://www.python.org/psf/records/staff/

> But guys famously will complain about: > 1. Women reading science fiction > 2. Women watching science fiction on TV. > 3. Women playing d&d > 4. Women playing online games > 5. Women writing code.

In your head? The first two are specially absurd. How would anyone know what women watch or read in their houses?

Of course now there are comments here about how evil Musk is "getting political again" or "aiding one side".

But last time (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45422514), allowing it was "walking all over national and international laws".

... and pardoned the moment it was declared guilty.

Fascism comes from “fascio” (not from the small town of Fascia) that means “bundle”.

The idea is that, like rods are fragile by themselves but strong as a bundle, an individual is either with the group (making it stronger) or an enemy of it. No room for discussion or disagreement

Because the alternative was to keep letting the Chinese Communist Party to do it.

Anything else is preferable.

It would be great if that were true, but TikTok is filled with accounts dedicated to virtue signal and “news”. I’ve tried multiple times to clean my feed but there are too many

> “Following these budget adjustments, Mr. Arko’s consultancy, (…), submitted a proposal offering to provide secondary on-call services at no cost in exchange for access to production HTTP access logs, containing IP addresses and other personally identifiable information (PII). The offer would have given Mr. Arko’s consultancy access to that data, so that they could monetize it by analyzing access patterns and potentially sharing it with unrelated third-parties.”

WTF. This is the same guy that is launched gems.coop, a competing index for Ruby gems recently.

On the other hand, RubyCentral actions were truly incompetent, I don’t know anymore who is worse

Keeping the country in one piece is exactly why Trump won, the alternative was falling off the cliff.

I was misremembering it. Now that I've checked, it's clear that the claim was that the money was for paying "the team" [1], which consisted of André Arko and David Radcliffe [2]
