This. Caesar made a huge fortune from the people he sold into slavery.

Presumably, performance also matters.

But they want to sell as many cpus as possible, right? So that market wins.

This isn't an answer, just an anecdote. My then wife and I were early-ish adopters, and bought one, I dunno, 2005-2010 or something? It was kind of neat but it broke, I think on some toy our kid left lying around. OK, but we liked the

Yep. MAGA is a hate movement.

So far the Republicans haven't been willing to do anything except go along. They are inert.

No loss.

It's interesting but kind of trails off... would be better if it went into the experimental results.

But since many of them misunderstand the role of gene sequences, that may be less meaningful than you imply.

Having the example be a video that changes was confusing at first, and if you are going to show me something that is changing, I would like to be able to rewind to the beginning. But really I just think it's a bad idea to show somethin

Yeah, I'm not wrong. Its terminology is antique. As for the rest, been there and done that, but then you have to invest in your knowledge of Elisp, which has zero other benefits.

Well, I used Emacs for 15-20 years. It has problems of its own -- mostly that it is effectively locked into an antediluvian view of how editors work, and that to use it effectively you end up maintaining large and complex configuration file

In theory. In reality, no. "I don't remember/I don't recall" is a famous dodge.

Mostly, the problem is the compute makes the products expensive and they haven't yet unveiled much that a significant number of people will pay enough for. Eventually their runway will run out -- and, given their costs, that might be s

So much for it being an honest or useful service.

As things are going, the Democrats should be buliding an army and preparing to fight a war.

The Republican part is no longer making a serious effort to govern. But, if we survive Trump, I would expect trials for treason.

by adamc 2y ago
I agree with this. I was once an independent. The dysfunction of the Republican party ended that.

Made some kind of sense, but will be ignored by those invested in the hype train.

True. I would expect a big reversal at some point, with confiscatory tax rises. The Democratic base is angrier than I've ever seen it.

Finding another job and marking them as unethical on glassdoor would be more like taking a stand. Raising awareness of management is just the polite first step.

I don't know why you are getting downrated. That is sane advice.

PyCharm is much more sluggish. And I have had a lot more luck using dev containers in VSCode than PyCharm. In general, I find the process of getting an interpretter set up much nicer in VSCode. Both work for Python syntax highlighting. But

by adamc 2y ago
Not the OP, but I have a subscription to PyCharm through work and still think it's inferior to VSCode. And I don't love vscode... In general, subscriptions are a high bar for me. You typically pay for them year after year but see

I was interested, but Mac and subscription kill it for me. Good luck to them, though.

That might be a good thing. Current housing prices are insane.

Their ongoing operation is quite expensive, so even that is not assured.

You are missing the entire point. When you interact with a group of people who already have a culture and a set of practices/traditions, you have to play by their rules, build up credibility with that community... and then maybe, down

This. So very much this. If you burn bridges and then need them later, yeah, things are going to be hard.

I found it interesting, because what the writer calls "entitled users" I would call "honest feedback". The features they need may not be what you need. Sure, they are "entitled" in that they are hoping someone
