But what would happen if no bailout came? I did not keep count of how many trillion USD they owe, but if we let OpenAI fail, what would be the consequences for ordinary people?

Because they don't like the changes, to put it mildly.

why not start looking for customers before quitting?

While I agree that tax money gets wasted by the government, I must note that there exist other countries, explicitly not free market capitalist, where getting ultra reach is not the aim (crazy, eh?) and in the last 40 years they have come a long way in creating prosperity for everyone.

All the projects I have ever worked on, the internal networks always were IPv4. Maybe because it is much simpler for humans to have an overview of the internal subnets in that way. Maybe IPv6 uses numbers that are too large for us.

Population in a city?

But I believe the point is: if you were writing HTML by hand, you would never have written the above.

I do think the professional players earn too much, including from gambling. Gambling and football go hand-in-hand. More than half the ads during the game advertise betting. This is obviously a huge part of their business. Politicians could not make it illegal, this is the whole point, because football has control over them.

OK I 've never been to the US, so I believe you. Then the problems are more widespread: not only soccer, but professional sports in general are harmful in my opinion.

I find it good that US is not better at soccer. Soccer or football has gained too much importance in Europe and South America. We have seen it encourage unprecedented levels of gambling, insane amount of efforts from the youth chasing the dream of professional football, fan violence inside and outside the stadiums, corruption where magnate owners of sports clubs use their popularity to influence politics, and more.

Well, looking at the commits, he has been regularly contributing for the last ten years at least. I don't know if he had stopped for a while.

Relevant issue #1457 VM instrumentation for third-party tools https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT/issues/1457 was opened by Mike Pall as recently as three weeks ago.

I gather that some features will be added to 2.1 but others only to 3.0.

That used to be the normality. You want to spend company money, you need to justify it.

I don't understand how €200M can ever be considered a "penny slap".

Sounds somewhat defeatist. Besides, the teacher nevers wants to fail anyone. Teachers would be happy if all students performed well.

But why? Commercial APL implementations have existed since decades ago. They always had customers. They were always at least partly owned by employees. Dyalog was not created in a void, but continuing this tradition.

What do you mean "if you can"? It has already happened in several democratic countries.

Great answer, with many thought-provoking parts and some gems ... I liked this thousand-juniors army of Jira ticket closers the best.

First time I see ς as part of the alphabet. Looks as if there were 25 letters.

One example of a UI being a result of research seems to be Windows 98. Much of the surface is gray, and a lot of the text is black. It might look boring, but that is how you get to use a little colour for things that need accent, and it will make a difference. Also in a factory, the walls are gray, but the fire extinguisher is red so that you can hardly miss it.

Start with the basics, perhaps? Languages, Mathematics, Geography, Economy, History.

This seems too long and it does not even answer the question. The question was specific, and the answer could be only one word long.

But it did not get the answer you expected. So a failed rhetorical question.

Maybe they could find another way to market it, e.g. Windows is free but with ads, and there is a subscription which makes ads go away. Or something else. Some creativity is needed.

Nowadays MSYS2, which does depend on cygwin under the hood, offers such a package manager (pacman of Arch Linux) and it is quite a user friendly to run native POSIX binaries on Windows without a linux VM.

Why can't they charge a subscription for windows? It could be only a small yearly fee.

> We're all morons outside of some very narrow areas of expertise

speak for yourself, I guess? Some people know things in many areas. But even if they are not experts outside of their areas of expertise, they may recognize their limitations in other areas and thus avoid making costly mistakes. This may even be the rule for adults, rather than the exception.

I am sure it doesn't. For one thing, it is much quicker to leaf through the physical copy than to browse the PDF.

In such a clear-cut example, I think we have saved the two hours.

There exists a relevant, even German, quote: “Never believe anything in politics until it has been officially denied.” ― Otto von Bismarck (first chancellor of Germany from 1871 to 1890)
