Hell no. Tens of thousands of businesses worldwide purchase "the full Microsoft experience." They integrate every single aspect of their digital enterprise with Microsoft's off the shelf option. The same applies to Apps. Ma

This makes sense in the same vein that a 2 ASCII character maximum variable length to save space made sense in 1978.

Fair enough about the shopping. I just can't criticize a technology if it's helping actual human beings do important jobs. After Blockchain it'll be an absolute relief.

AR seems extraordinarily attractive to me. Look at the indstrial applications of Google Glass. Seems like once there is hardware + SDK, there will be an absolute explosion in AR.

I, really, really, disagree with decorators not being worthwhile Decorators are a very "high" level of abstraction. Leave aside dependency injection, clojures and currying and all that jazz which worms its way in here. Decorators

Most successful startup founder I know is north of 60. He's been at it a decade. He recently got handed multiple billions to expand from 500 HC. Secret ingredient: two decades at Mckinsey. Biggest trend other than experience is TIME.

Yes. Sounds like an unprofitable business where the owner refuses to accept reality that the work conditions are marginal because the business is marginal.

I meant the embedded C back-end, yes. Rewriting the Haskell DSL doesn't really make sense.

Power Automate or whatever it's called exist. I'd say the great weakness of No Code solutions isn't so much they are bad, but that they have no FOSS support. At all.

> Copilot 3.9, a stream-based DSL for writing and monitoring embedded C programs, with an emphasis on correctness and hard realtime requirements. I hate to say it. This is something that actually, genuinely should, be re-written in Rust.

Intel was in this situation before. They dug themselves out with the Core 2 Duo. There remains a nonzero chance Intel digs themselves out of the hole again. I'm strongly considering their stock.

What's old is new again. Had a chat with an old timer whl was doing horizontally scaling compute with thr IBM A400. 25 years later it's the starry eyed wonder of the 2010s.

The analogy doesn't hold up. Commits have a more fixed size. Formal logic cannot be reduced in character count too far, at least without making it unintelligible (fear the day Alex the intern wheels out Unicode emoji variables). Spread

Making a conclusion off a single data point is ridiculous. Across multiple countries, only the United States has this problem.

Python has excellent support for dependency injection and monkeypatching these days. It has an entire arsenal of pre-made decorators. I've found Python's original paradigm, "create deep, object oriented libraries, and have us

"Once you have worked with the language a bunch." I find that's kind of the point. Python was extremely easy the first time, Learning Ruby took me twice as long and the output was not really an improvement.
