> It's as if it's some sort of daily prayer.

That's probably the whole point of it. Ask yourself daily: WWMD? "What Would Musk Do?"

How would I add another repository to the microsoft store in order to have nightly builds of a specific app or third party apps available?

Is there an apt-like command line interface for the microsoft store?

Or about 3 horses.

Mergers like this are required to keep competition and the free market alive.

It's all good now, though. Nothing to worry about.

The name is burnt. They still are a company with business interests. While their interests might align today with the open source community this doesn't have to be so tomorrow and there is no resistance internally to burn these bridges they are building today.

Or you can move immediately like many others. What would you gain by staying until it's too late?

They have reached the end goal of the big buyout. What more could they possibly want?

Migrating from GitHub to GitLab

this adresses some of the issues.

I wonder how Microsoft can manage to commercialize all the projects on GitHub. Maybe by providing an universal installer that works through the Windows Store. Maybe by adding a few mandatory patches to each project that improve compatibility. Maybe by making a much improved version of Git with a proper GUI interface. The possibilities are endless!

It may not be in the job description but usually somebody has to clean the data by hand or build specialized tools before it can be used.

Something as simple as a text field for entering a date can produce interesting effects. Even if your data looks good on the surface, when you dig in, you might find interesting things. Like data entered when the system was definitely shut down for maintenance.

Your rules are basically "the winner takes it all in the long run". This is similar to reality but real actors can disappear. Individuals have a limited lifespan. Their offspring have slightly different abilities. Corporations/Nations/Organizations are run by individuals (chosen not randomly) and may face technological/political challenges but here it's not clear that these structures need to disappear.

Do you see a good way to factor in these things?

The things that are on schedule are one part but there are other things not on the schedule when you have scheduled a few days to do programming.

I find it hard to balance between being unavailable to my colleagues/users and being interrupted all the time. Often the most efficient way to solve a software problem is to just come to the developer and resolve it together in a few minutes. These interruptions happen at random though and are hard to plan. Some days there are none and other days there are people almost lining up.

I also suspect that the mind is able to go into a deeper state when it does not expect to be interrupted all the time. So not only the interruptions but also the expectation thereof is taking energy away. Some days when there is nothing going on I even miss the interruptions and even get the feeling of needing to actively stray away with my concentration.

I wish my company would have a hidden room where I could go with a laptop, disconnect everything and emerge only after the work of the day is done.

How do you finance your daily living?

We would have to wait for a few decades to come to such conclusions with scientific methods. It's a political decision to market the event as such.

There is the 80 bit "long double" type that contains excess precision over the 64 bit double type. But if you want to write code that's both, portable, and reliable you have to turn off a lot of optimizations and use 32 or 64 bit types with standardised behavior.

Separate but equal. There can be different strategies that are exactly equal in terms of some performance measures.

They should have kept RAID behind yellow tape for years to come. There's just too many problems that can bite you once a physical disk fails and you really need that RAID to recover.

The autopilot is not a safety feature.

You misunderstood on the meta level. My point was that you want to use one feature of C++, you enable C++ to use this feature. Developer B wants to use ten other features. Developers C..Z want to use different features. Every feature by itself makes some sense in its context but in the end you're using so many different C++ features that no single developer knows them all. If you use modern C++ there are some ugly edge cases you have no idea they exist and if you use older C++ styles there is hell waiting for you.

The hard part is to select which features of C++ to use and more importantly which NOT to use and to ENFORCE these rules.

The only argument for C and against C++ is the slippery slope of wanting to use one useful feature and ending up using a thousand features where noone is really sure what's actually happening in the end. Then again they start re-inventing "C with classes" using unsafe structs and macros. It seems that the problem is not really with the language but the developers who cannot restrain themselves.

WhatsApp is even better than Telegram.

Do you remember the reaction test where a ball is rolling onto the road and you have to hit the breaks?

This situation is more akin to a ball laying on the road already and you drive over it.

This situation is very clear cut. There is an object (a subject even) on the road directly in front of the vehicle and the car just straight forward drives into it. It doesn't even swerve. It doesn't break. Nothing. This is a total fail of the system.

What if there is an accident and people are standing on the road for some good reason? What if it is a deer in the headlights? What if a kid is running loose? Is the vehicle supposed to just hunt them down?

Lasers would probably need a lot of energy to cut that much material.

Can somebody do a quick analysis how much it would probably cost using conventional/water/lasers?

The two graphs have different y-axis-scales.

Is it typical for VM hosts to allow some kind of remote administration which - at some near or distant point - is shared with the communication channels of the VM guests?

E.g. a ssh connection over the internet where the attacker gains access to the keys necessary to connect as a user or join an active session.

Which would be a more appropriate term for the word "monkey" in this context? With monkey I associate being uncoordinated and stupid. I am very sure that this is not the case.

Only if your speculative reads do cause irreversible side-effects on those caches. You could implement them in a way that doesn't modify the caches... but that would be complicated and probably use more power and have lower performance.

As far as I know they HAVE to register a trade in advance. I.E. three months ahead: "I will sell 600 shares on 15th of December if the share price is above 50". This information is public and other people can use this information before the trade actually happens.

Until someone figures out how to exploit it using JavaScript. The speed this moves it could be any minute now.
