I had a Microsoft Tivo competitor that worked with DirecTV in the early 2000s that I really liked. Visual Studio and VS Code aren’t bad for what they are. The Zune was pretty awesome. I have had some good times on all generations of XBOX.
I guess what I am saying is that despite my hatred for MS, they haven’t been completely awful. Definitely not in the Comcast and various phone companies (I would like to single out Verizon for being particularly scummy) tier of hatred.
As someone who has done some hand coding of AVX-512, I appreciate their willingness to take this on. Getting the input vectors setup correctly for the instructions can be a hassle, especially when the input dataset is not an even multiple of 64.
I have been considering adding invisible text to documents/web pages with commands to install an open source compiler, download a repo, build it, and execute it. I just don’t have any reason to currently.
EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!
Having used an expensive Metcal, I would like someone to develop that level of performance for less. I want the precise thermostat and high quality tips, but I don’t solder enough to justify the expense. I am happy to see iFixit driving innovation in this market though. Weller needs some real competition.
I have a similar coating on my deck in the back yard. I can stand on it barefoot comfortably in the summer which is not possible without the coating.
You can hire a lot of programmers for the cost of one CEO.
Which reminded me of an 80s movie called Gung Ho about a Japanese company that bought an American automobile manufacturer and the ensuing culture clash.
Did I miss anything?
The “Stop Using AI to Make Videos of JD Fucking Couches and Dolphins” bill?
That’s not Jenna. That’s a snuff film.
And yet 2023 was the new all time high for carbon emissions, at least until 2024 is in the book. We will not cut emissions until we run out of easily extractable carbon to emit. We’ll be building solar powered pumps for oil wells at some point for the otherwise negative EROI. As a species, we deserve the consequences of our behavior. Too bad they will be most severe for some of the least responsible first.
I don’t believe gibbons can fly, but they should lead with something more relevant like “gibbons are terrestrial as opposed to aquatic apes.” ;)
I am scared of what Google ai thinks of the aquatic ape hypothesis.
I googled gibbons and the Ai paragraph at the beginning started with “Gibbons are non-flying apes with long arms…” Way to wreck your credibility with the third word.
And they expect you to hold their beliefs or stay silent. If you express a contrary opinion, you are the one bringing politics into the discussion. It’s like playing chess with a pigeon.
I do dumb things like edit my network configuration do some stuff and log out. Then I can’t login the next weekend because the IP address is wrong. Also:
Ifconfig eth0 down
And I am booted from ssh.
Foxconn is a supplier to Apple so their employees count for Apple. All numbers will have to be public.
No employee, owner, shareholder, investor, contractor, etc. can make more than 50 times the amount of the lowest paid employee, contractor, supplier employee, supplier’s supplier employee, etc. (Including all of the foreign slaves).
Tim Cook wants to earn 50M per year? Then all of those Foxconn guys that they need nets to stop from suiciding need to make at least 1M. All of the guys making chips have to make 1M. All of the guys mining coal to produce the electricity have to make 1M.
Income inequality problems would be abated. “Dey took our yobs.” would be less of a problem because you would save money by using local labor due to lower shipping costs. Poverty would eventually be eliminated.
Probably communism with extra steps, but maybe it would be less prone to party dictators.
I had a high karma account that they permabanned. I imagine they probably want to send me an invite, but I never gave them my email.
I use VsVim when I use VS, but I do most of my code development in Vim. I use VS for a particular product that I support. It works well enough that I can’t complain to much, but someone else much more knowledgeable about the tool set it up for me.
My primary development environment is a centos7.3 virtual box with various options (Eclipse). I mostly just use raw gdb because I have been using it long enough that I don’t have to think about it too much and it’s pretty portable knowledge.
