You know how strobe light photography lets you 'freeze' very fast moving things so you can study what they look like mid motion. This is used for basically that, except for much much smaller things moving much much faster.

The generous reading is that they see more value in focusing on projects that spreads and popularises Linux and makes it more ubiquitous in more areas, rather than on core Linux kernel development.

If Warren Buffet stopped working tomorrow, how long do you think it would take for him to fall behind on his bills and default on his mortgage? That is the basic differentiator. If you work because you have to, then you are working class. I

You'd be surprised how accounting works at some companies. I've seen companies buying 10k euro civil engineering software to run on 1k euro computers that could barely handle it, and refusing to also pay to upgrade the computers.

The company I work does hot-desking, but it is implicitly also divided into groupings. All the people in each team sit in the same part of the office each day and hotdesk within that group of desks. There are maybe 1 time in 50 that I show

For better or worse most companies keep a lot of their very important data stored in Microsoft formats on Microsoft services. As long as that remains true, Microsoft will have a clear advantage building AI assistants that are trained and tu

Look up the efficiency curve for you engine. To get the most of it you should be driving at the highest gear at around 70-90 km/h. Driving in lower gears is obviously not a problem, but that doesn't make it efficient.

Lets say you're making lots of variations, then having it in a specified format for easy changes is nice. Or diffing changes. Or programmatically generate them. But in all those cases wouldn't it better to have something with an

Current petrol engines are designed operate at optimal efficiency in the 60-90 km/h range. Electric cars on the other hand can operate efficiently at much lower speeds due to how electric engines work. Efficiency here primarily refers

I mean fostering and nurturing any reason at all for these people (and people like them) to stay in the EU and not work for US based "exploitative mega corporations". Why do so many EU citizens see working for (or trying to start)

What is counting if it isn't being able to say what the next thing is? Do you have a mapping to integers or not? If so, then every n has n+1. The point I was trying to make is that there is no concept of 'next' inherent to
