This is a very naive way to look at the world. Even if theoretically they would be happy with such "self-stable economy" [they naturally won't—nothing prevents human desires to ask for more and try to build win-win friendshi

I would normally feel neutral/good about this except Microsoft now removes half useful programs and preinstalls or at least shows the icon of total crap like Instagram in a clean install. I mean, what the fuck.

Last time I checked Twitter was quite operational with a fraction of the people. Like every other big tech company it was obviously bloated. Wouldn’t be surprised if it still is. You are suggesting a costlier alternative to what has worked

Yes, it is trivially easy to verify (yet you asked for a citation!) in the last 10-Q filing by Twitter, Inc. available to the public, the preceding three months of June 2022 their net income/loss per share is negative ($0.35) and was f

Its death, if any, is primarily due to high burn rate, as you mention, which Musk moderated quite a bit, but the folks expecting its demise somehow blame it on Musk, ironically.

Thanks for posting the exact questions. I apologize if it came across as what the quotes means quoting from their questions. I was making a point with an example, which stands, that the answer to the latter question requires much more kno

TLDR Think tank spin job. Nothing to see here. This strikes me as a number porn trying to spin something by benchmarking against a distinct and unrelated question. Of course the answer to “Do you know Elon Musk runs Twitter? Yes/No&#x2

I was mostly referring to/reminding of the hype preceding the 5G transition, not critiquing the article. In the US I haven't witnessed much wins for the consumer but reasonable to assume it has reduced cost on the carrier front.

As a longtime Debian-and-derivatives (translation: mainly Ubuntu) user who switched to Fedora recently on almost everything I very much agree. Ubuntu used to be more usable than Debian and Fedora out of the box back in the day in my opinion

Persian poet Saadi [1] (1210-1291) has a poem in his Golestan [2] that addresses a similar concern: شکم زندان باد است ای خردمند ندارد هیچ عاقل باد در بند چو باد اندر شکم پیچد فرو هل که باد اندر شکم بار است بر دل Rou

I strongly doubt that. Adding a check to a simple increment instruction is likely slowing it down by more than 2x not 2% so it must be some whole program performance benchmark that's slowed by 2%.

I was mostly curious if they accomplished this with some neat trick other than adding a check to every Py_INCREF and Py_DECREF to check for a magic value, which would be a performance overhead for all non-immortal objects, but it seems ther

Ironic everyone is , and has been, discussing this as "adults" except the author (with passive-aggressive tone and unprofessional P.S.). Perhaps look in the mirror and get off the high horse? If Google bestows someone with some

You acknowledge contributions from several large companies. It's obvious it won't go away if Google pulls support or anything. Perhaps the fact that some random folks across the internet don't feel compelled to submit patches

Perhaps the tooling feel somewhat overkill for toy apps that can be done with Ruby on rails or such. Many large orgs with billions of dollars of revenue per year companies are utilizing gRPC across many languages.

How many real contributors you have? Is it mainly just you and perhaps some tiny bug fixes?

Those are hardly unsolvable issues with a JIT as they are static for the vast majority of cases. Solutions have been proposed since the 90s with Self and Strongtalk[1]. Doing that, plus 100% compatibility with CPython extension API, while

The banks are not paying insurance to insure “themselves.” They are paying insurance to insure all depositors in the banking system, so the failure event belongs to the banking system at large not the failed bank in particular.

Health insurance in the US has a concept of “deductible” and “copay” in the event of a failure; this is not dissimilar to copay.
