If you sincerely believe this, you've tinkered enough that the massive knowledge barrier that is Linux seems like nothing to you. I would never sit my 70 year old mother down in front of a Linux machine. We're not at "caring

How does it affect Boeing? I suppose in terms of service contracts and the like, but haven't the airlines bought the planes already?

Why does this seem ridiculous? There are more national companies than international companies, by a large factor.

This seems like a cop-out by one of the largest companies in the world to avoid giving back to the tools and languages they use to extract their profit. If you're worried about funds mismanagement, assign some oversight, add a distribu

A proper AST would "read" the source code programmatically, as opposed to brittle regex? Is there any benefit to building that when your regex works and what you're parsing is static? (Genuine questions, my compsci background

Maybe so, but Wikipedia itself is fraying at the seams these days. Less and less Administrators every year, less and less committed editors, and more and more tech rot. See this comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3

Wikimedia Foundation and letting their main product languish while they pursue badly-thought-out side projects? Name a more iconic duo.

Then you don't understand the relationship between capital, labour and being an employee vs employer. Yes, they are well-compensated, but they can still have their lives turned upside down by bosses. Granted, their life getting turned

Don't worry, Google are hard at work undermining the product they worked so hard to build. Every year google search is worse at surfacing what you're looking for and better at an ads platform, and the advent of LLMs and SEO agenci

That's a misreading of the situation. The employees saw their big bag vanishing and suddenly realised they were employed by a non-profit entity that had loftier goals than making a buck, so they rallied to overturn it and they've

I have muted any mention of Open AI, Altman, Emmet and Satya from my Twitter feed for the past five days. It's a far better experience.

What are the parameters of the non-profit? Not having thriving as a goal for any org, even a non-profit, seems weird to me. Note that thriving is not synonymous with growing.

This is not the best of both worlds. This is an antipattern and discouraged by the Tailwind core team and the Tailwind community at large.

That's not necessarily uncommon is it? It was my understanding that bills get passed with extra funding for relatively disconnected causes all the time. They may have to credit the bill under which this was passed, but that doesn'

You're expecting coherency in the American libertarian mindset. There is none. "why should the government control the means of tax filing! I need to be free to pay a private company to do it!"
