I don't have a stake in this thread, but I am stealing "maladjusted weaklings" (≧▽≦)

Yes. Yes, it would. This is so tiring.

Damn, those poor and homeless are really living it up.

Jesus Christ.

Oh yes, a very unfortunate side-effect that companies are implementing with tears in their eyes, tearing their clothes apart.

Unnecessary emphasis can get... quite comical... indeed.

Is that a genuine "he could lose", or "he could lose" the way Erdogan "could lose"?

Don't spread the misery?? Wow, fucking thanks.

I read shakes dice as a Latin term and had a good laugh. "Ah, if they bomb us, we will retaliate on Ecuador shakes dice."

>Vote for better politicians.

I cannot. I can only vote better politicians if they are there. That is without even going into the minefield of what is "better". My implication is that I have no confidence whatsoever in any current politician in my state.

> Donate money to causes that you think are important.

I have no money.

> If you think you can do it better, and this isn't meant to be facetious, run for political office.

I have no money, no visibility and no connections. Even if I was magically given tons of money, I would still need a strong network to attempt any real change, even without taking into consideration the strong networks already in place preventing it.

Telling random citizens "run for office" is facetious, whether you mean it or not.

"That's Larry; he does most of the work around here."

I agree. I wish I could be more optimistic.

I am sorry, but under the current circumstances in the US, your second paragraph sounds like satire, and I actually laughed out loud.

I have often heard this story. To my ears, inexperienced in the tech industry, but experienced in others, it sounds absurd. If a modification improves performance even in the slightest perceptible way (of course it needs to be perceptible by the user), it is the job of the sales team to hype it up to the heavens.

To me, these stories sound like a ridiculous failure of the sales team or of the executive team to communicate the change to the sales team.

I got worried when I read the title, so I asked ChatGPT if I have fallen into this trap and it guaranteed I have not; that was a relief!

Yes, too many people here do not understand the distance between the problems the article is discussing (and LLMs have solved) and the big problems in math and CS.

What an utter piece of shit comment. I have had friends (research mathematicians) who were harassed at the border and you have the temerity to do the "cite your sources" shitcrap for "data" which is available with a single click of the mouse -- as the very gracious sibling comment showed, doing your work for you.

Soon they will replace all the iron railings with maiden.

I really enjoy their songs, and I first listened to them in my late 20s, long after the age where bands imprint on you like a baby chick.

A recent study from Stanford

Join me in my new business endeavor where we found the Journal for Journal Science.

Ooh remmina looks really cool.

>2. The psychological impact of the "open issue count" has real consequences despite being meaningless on its own. People will see a project with 1K+ issues and think "oh this is a buggy hell hole" when 950 of those issues are untriaged, unaccepted, 3rd party issues, etc.

Fully agree with this; as a beginner in the space I get nervous when I see a project having a thousand open issues since 2018.

And based on historical trends, they are doing the clever thing. If there are enterprises today still running IBM mainframes, MS is probably right to expect that today's enterprise contracts will be paying off at least 40 years down the line -- especially when you factor in the motte of regulatory traps and labyrinthine compliance checks.

Is there a way to chain launch a "qemu VM --> windows 10 client --> autodesk product" in a transparent way? If we could do that reliably and with a stripped down win10 image, I think the serious office users could just pretend they are running autodesk or whatever software in linux. The big downside I presume is this will not work with software that need tight interaction with custom hardware (mocap suits etc).

> "security"

Security is not a dirty word, Blackadder.

Not for the user, unless I forgot that today is opposite day.

What are the pros and cons of Guile wrt Lua?

>Successful nations like Switzerland and Norway

I absolutely love the absence of the UK in your list.
