The worst part of Postgres (and linux) is the awful mailing list driven development process. I have patches to Postgres that I'd rather just keep porting up every version than to try to figure out how to make Outlook work with a 1980s

Man I'd have just started doubling the cost every year. Wanna keep using some old software we don't really want to support? Better pay up! You'd be surprised how quickly "it's not possible" turns into "oh

Would just be easier to implement an open source one from scratch given that most IOT modems are just (poorly written) software with an SDR anyway. CEVAwaves or RivieraWaves certainly is. If it can be done for BLE, 802.15.4 and WiFi, it can

The industry that awards the Joseph Pulitzer Prize has absolutely no legs to stand on. Insane hypocrisy to think that the owner of a newspaper doesn't have the right and obligation to set its editorial direction. Business is business.

> just simpler to calculate That's all that "natural" means in this context. It's like "elegant" -- if it just takes less effort to get the result u need then why wouldn't you take the easier route?

Because it'd reveal they usually aren't much more than a summarizer run on the court doc. Middlemen hate to show you what they actually do.

If the executive decides to not enforce judicial orders since it feels like they are unfairly applied that is basically the total breakdown of the rule of law. That's what is likely to happen if the courts enjoin without discretion. It

This is the equivalent of the Yo app but for """AI""" This is also high art. This needs to be in MOMA or something. I love this.

Awesome, very interesting! Thanks for providing that. WinFsp isn't "native" in the sense it's a wrapper on the Microsoft provided interface AFAICT Shell Namespace extensions is the pure-windows way via COM and all that j

>I don’t believe Congress can simply remove the ability for courts to issue restraining orders, and I don’t see why the supreme court would write any writs like that considering it’s not clear that 1. DOGE is even fully legal in the way

This is correct if you only care about Apple stock price. But consider that there are people who simply do not care about Apple's stock price. Like me, an Apple investor. I care more about the US's industrial base than I do about

Neat! The "native" version of FUSE for windows is a "Shell Namespace Extension" and might make it a little more integrated. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/shell/namesp
