As for "delaying" the case, this is just the French court system for you. Everything takes years and years. Is there a country for which that doesn't hold true?

For any parents wary of trying to think up a way to implement this yourselves: don't. Someone already neatly packaged it up and removed the thinking from the process. (protip: feed it to your baby in a hospital parking lot) https:&#x2

And data egress fees just to get the clone set up, right? This doesn’t seem feasible as a macrostrategy. Maybe for a small number of critical services.

Every other OS from MS is garbage. XP good, Vista bad, 7 good, 8 so bad no one remembers it, 10 goodish, 11 horrific. The hate is hardly unprecedented and indeed well-deserved. MS has shown in the past that they’ll respond to poor OS recept

Office 2007 was the peak and it’s been all downhill since then.

That just ends with everyone back in the same boat. Serious enterprises will still need OS support and no one is anywhere near prepared to challenge Microsoft for OS support contracts whether they be Linux, Windows, or otherwise.

On the other hand, American health insurance is arguably the most aggressive in the world at punishing overweight individuals and smokers through penalty fees.

Where do you put drugs and alcohol on that list? Because gambling surely has an equivalent ability to wreck careers and families.

What’s your beef with solar? Both parties seem to like it just fine, despite it not covering as much of the total demand as anyone would like.

And how could you effectively design a study on this when secondhand smoking was practically inescapable up to 1990?

No one cares about FOSS experience. You’re lucky if they even visit your GitHub/Lab/Berg at all and even luckier if they look at anything past your heatmap. Fact is, if FOSS experience counted for anything, then those charged with

Agreed. There’s a few consolidations I’d prefer, including BEAM-based languages as one.

For anyone not informed, Jones’ exorbitant fines were that way because of his consistently excessive behavior in court and lack of willingness to cooperate. The judge gave him multiple chances. You shouldn’t expect that to happen to anyone

You can’t resell old episodes. They only talk about news and celebrities relevant to each specific week. They’re instantly dated - no one is rewatching old episodes beyond a week. Even if there are some stragglers still watching them with t

Pure kayfabe. ABC needed any excuse to get rid of a show that no longer made sense in the modern era of streaming. NBC and CBS must be furious that they didn’t think of this first. Edit: Ha I forgot that CBS actually did think of it first w

What happened was complex, multi-factoral, and impossible to cleanly draw pithy conclusions from. It’s like the drawing of the rabbit that turns into a duck when you look at it a different way except there are fifty animals instead of just

Trump will outright win 2026 if he bans H-1Bs after this RTO charade and neither party would be able to oppose such a ban without fatal public outcry. With India choosing Russia over the US, there would be very little political backlash to

Well every company just happens to be undertaking RTO at the same time so it seems to be above the exec level. I’ve seen hypotheses on here that city councils are putting on pressure to boost their local economies and another that boards

Java 24 and C# 9 resemble little of their first versions. C++ might as well not even be the same language at this point. Why are we so conservative with C but then so happily liberal with every other language?

His change of direction, elusiveness, and vision are all generational. His durability is not or at least he has not displayed it yet. I don't think anyone would put his durability up against AD, Frank Gore, or even Derrick Henry and co

He’s giving that speech in China. It’s impossible to know if he’s glazing or not. Either way, I would want to hear him commit to building those factories in the US if education was not a factor. I suspect real estate costs, unions, OSHA, an

Video games became a lot better when developers stopped saying, "You just haven't taken the time to learn it and don't understand it", and started saying, "That's my fault for designing it that way. Let me rede

Seems like everyone wants to believe they’re as skilled and hardcore as the kernel devs. In reality, I agree - C++ is basically a superset of C and the whole point of “you don’t pay for what you don’t use” is to be able to avoid ridiculous

For someone who has never been there, sure. It’s hardly the worst *chan though and I’d argue KiwiFarms is less redeemable.

Would you still be saying this if Intel wasn’t floundering as badly as it is today? There’s no equivalent push to take any level of control in AMD. Also this appears to be in exchange for CHIPS funds (per the article). HN has universally su

Solar and wind are unreliable and too low-impact relative to their cost and maintenance. Every time we have this discussion, we always conclude that nuclear power generation is the only viable path forward.
