Windows is like Carthage right after it got burned and its earth got salted, if that actually happened.

Cause it's not fun having to reboot every time you want to run a Windows program, especially if it means dealing with Windows nagging.

I was referring to the incursions into Armenia proper, not the breakaway region in 2020.

Ok nvm, Carlsbad is an unrelated coincidence

I already don't trust ORMs; ORM with fake DB sounds even worse.

"You only get Read Committed transaction isolation." – That's unexpected, I wonder what within CloudSQL makes the other modes not usable. If my prod were using CloudSQL, I'd use CloudSQL for tests too. Haven't notic

Russia was probably able to defend Armenia, but they didn't want to. They sold weapons to the other side of the 2021-2023 war, Azerbaijan.

Many countries with non-stan names in English have -stan names in their own languages, like Hindustan. Also, lots of Mid East or central Asia town names end with -abad ( https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D8%A2%D8%A8%D8%A7%

This is like complaining that someone mentions the Spanish language instead of Español.

It's an extremely old word

Yeah yeah, it's also well covered by journalists how all Americans are racist.

If this is the way things go, the govt had better follow its own rules first with the IRS support systems.

A kid won't be ostracized for not having a TikTok. I survived not being on Facebook when it was big in middle school, despite a relatively few dull kids making fun. The same will apply to drugs or gambling by high school, so best learn

Which would be legal too, assuming it's a place where smoking is legal (some US cities have banned it in all multi-tenant buildings)

I get that in theory a kid could sneak off to use TikTok/Instagram on some friend's device away from home, but that's not what's happening. Parents are handing their kids smartphones with unrestricted access to these app

The bill sponsors are senator Andrew Gounardes and assemblywoman Nily Rozic. Rozic told CBS news: "Jewish parents are being told to remove social media apps completely from their phones because there is no way to actually prevent what

The other mechanism is parenting and self-control. I'm not too concerned in the long run about which path is chosen for addictive social media; its days are numbered either way.

Within teams, we've done fine submitting to Conway's Law until we get to the point where a different structure makes sense. Reduces merge conflicts that way.

Usually when I see someone else's repo, the structure doesn't fit my needs. My favorite pattern is putting everything into a single file until there's a clear reason to split it up, at which point the best structure will be o

Yes it does, but that didn't translate to products, so again their customers don't care.

They aren't ahead even in terms of AI tech now. A lot of those researchers got hired away to other companies, and ChatGPT has been ahead continuously.

There's a good long middle ground. Search results do seem desperate now, but they got into this position in the first place by failing to execute when they had the advantage. None of Google's customers have ever cared how well an

Rivian seems a lot more feasible than Lucid to me. For starters, Rivians look nice and have a purpose that isn't really covered by other car companies.

I think they knew what they were doing. This is the second time for this founder, though technically separate companies. They were launched in the middle of EV hype bubbles both times, they got govt subsidies the first time at least, and bu

Fisker did this in 2012: released a lemon car (the Karma) then went bankrupt, taking some federal loans down with them. The only reason I can believe anyone preordered another car named "Fisker" is because the first time was long

That stuff gave Google the appearance of "nerds playing with their toys." Sure it's worthwhile research, but it's not great how many things Google announced that close to 0 people could use. They're trying to be mor

I didn't think the AI hype was overdone until I saw AAPL jump so much after announcing AI features. Looks nice, but it's not going to make anyone switch to iPhone, and there's no lock-in. iMessage must be way more valuable, a

They did research for years, but they didn't stay ahead of their competitors. They gave transformers away for free.

Maybe that's what they're doing. The article just says they're combining the two labs, not much further detail.
