>...but they usually err on the side of presenting results rather than proving or explaining them

And that's exactly what I like about it. They are a news site, hence they present the news. If the news presenters start to chime in you get what you see at CNN / Fox etc, and that's called propaganda, not news. I want news.

Before FAANG the acronym was MAFANG, but due to too much closeness to a slang word, the political correct crowd change it to FAANG. Also, just as a side note, Microsoft is a trillion worth more than the "G" in FAANG.

And technically Musk was not the wealthiest man in the world when he bought Twitter, because he didn't had that much cash laying around in his bank accounts. And yet, when wanted, or more precisely put in corner to do so, he did shit 50 billions and bought it.

OpenAI is Microsoft, technical details don't matter here, only money.

OpenAI is Microsoft. Microsoft is a FAANG giant.

Nothing. Author wanted to push the limits of unsupported stuff on a ongoing project. Myself I prefer vmware instead of virtualbox and/or qemu. When it comes to virtualization and fast spinning whatever flavor of the month a new OS pops vmware is undisputed king.

Clean install failed directly. Without a hiccup at the very first file. Only taking the upgrading route via W2000 it worked.

No, he was not realizing that. Was wondering if that's the case. The realization comes later with understanding NT vs FAT conversion that was happening. Hence why the upgrade route via W2000

Which is the wrong path IMO. If users want to shoot themselves in the foot, let them do it. The only way to learn responsibility is to let get their systems pawnd. Maybe they will finally learn the Linux way - never login as admin, always as normal user. You want admin login? Cool, then the "su" equivalent in Windows is called "runas".

I would argue that using JSON in embedded, especially on ESP32, is another no-go. I'd wage that using a binary format and later on, after you're out of ESP32, convert it to JSON would be a bigger performance gain than the evangelic tone of this article vis-a-vis of Rust.

For obfuscation reasons mainly. Hide your genius code from a php base so your IP is not poached/discovered by Amazon and the likes who love to get brilliant open source made project, move a line and call it their own.

I guess you don't have uBlock Origin

what ads? I don't see a single ad there. Are you using chrome by any chance? Cause I use Firefox with uBlock Origin and had no problem browsing the site without seeing a single ad.

Problems in this world are of 2 types. Technical and political.

Do all "technical" problems have technical fixes. A very sound YES!

What about political problems? Sometime they can be fixed with a technical fix but ALL of them can be fixed with assassination.

I remember the story about Larry and Sergei pitching their new search engine to investors: "Will make 10B annually in maximum 10 years". Nowadays 10B is the paper clips fund at Alphabet.

Correct, you already half name it. I'd call it image processing with pattern recognition

That's a lot of words for Micro$oft to say they just love money. Who knew!

Java was in 1st iteration and was replaced by Typescript

It's an ad for the product, not a normal tech blog. It should not be on front page of HN.

@dang - ??

Any % each of those owners actually own? For me that would be the most important aspect of ownership

I used jitsi for a long time. Then they started throttling and then they demanded user registration. I ditched them at that point and started using this. What you say it's maybe true, didn't checked, but for above reasons I gave up on them. Each to their own I suppose

I prefer https://talk.brave.com/ over jitsi. Same idea but I find it better than jitsi

Wtf is this shit? Seriously!

Quote: “People used to be in awe of creativity, originality and innovation,” he said. “But since A.I. came, a lot of that has disappeared.”

No, it hasn't. If anything AI, as it currently stands, made sure that the "bottom creativity" is gone. For example I am simply anti-talent at drawing. For me a street artist that does caricatures is creativity. Looking closer you see that the artist is actually very limited in his techniques and uses but just a few easy tricks - this was explained to me by a friend who's an artist, a true one, with shows and galleries. So now AI made sure "that!" creativity was erased and is at fingertips for everybody. I see that as a good sign, not a bad one. True creativity is still the panache of humans - I mean AI can create masterpieces like GRR Martin? (if only the old sob would move his rear to finish them, that's it).

Which can in turn be automatically parsed and pull the data into said document. So when Google decides that the mail/workspace account is banned for whatever reason they deem, you don't lose the content, you just change the automation tool to the new e-mail address (and inform relatives about the new e-mail as well).

Getting old and dying seems like a very real causality to me. Let me know when you'll be able to overcome that, I'd love to perform that trick.

Quote: "How do you share that dataset with an analyst?"

..and blah blah about the sharing from a developer perspective.

In reality the analyst is some higher up that only knows how to import/view CSV in Excel so that's exactly what will ask for ("hey zzz can you send me those daily parcels in a .csv file? thank you")

I worked with CORBA during 90's and early 2000's. A truly shitty piece of technology that I do not wish upon my worst enemies, except maybe the higher ups at Microsoft who invented COM interfaces. When I saw the hype of GraphQL in 2017 I looked into it and while exploring it I started to have PTSD from CORBA days. "So you're the new CORBA, huh? I'll fuck off as far away as I can from you then" - and told the same to every client that even mention it.

Maintenance is 90% of a project life time. Sometime those "best practices" rigid implemented means the project won't live to see even it's 1st birthday.

4 people and 100 servers? that's all? that's a drop in a bucket, won't event make a dent in the black market of ransomware.
