Microsoft employee here. We were "urged" to use .NET 6 last year when starting a new project internally and the transition has been quite hard. The learning curve is extremely steep. It took us almost two weeks to work out some basics because the online documentation, a lot of open source projects and what the latest .NET templates look like are very different. The team spends a lot of time figuring out how something is done in .NET and we stumble over a lot of online advice which is dated or plain wrong because it dates back to .NET Framework or .NET Core times. .NET 6 seems to be different to .NET Framework and different to .NET Core in the way it handles even simple things like namespaces, using declarations and other language features. Maybe when we get good at it we will like it but so far it's been quite a journey and I'm not sure we would choose it again if we didn't have to.

I don't wear glasses so I can't comment on that, but I did upgrade from the stock strap to what's known as a "frankenquest" setup, where a Vive Deluxe Audio strap is connected to the quest via 3D printed adapters, with the counterweight velcro'd onto the back strap.

As far as comfort goes it's not bad and the headphones on the Vive's strap are a solid upgrade from the Quest 2's directional speakers, but I'd still prefer for any headset I upgrade to in the future to be more lightweight.

I have no problem with Guaranteed Income, paid by people freely giving to those in need. If everyone spent as much time donating their time and money as they do jaw jacking that "someone else should do something", we'd solve world hunger by now.

I have a problem with taking something from Peter and giving it to Paul. Stealing is stealing, no matter how you butter it up, and no matter if Peter will miss it, and no matter if Peter has enough that it doesn't matter. Repeat: Ends do not justify the means.

It's sad that so many people think the only answer is to steal from whom they consider rich. If this rule were applied equally globally, everyone complaining would have _a lot_ removed from them, as the World Poverty Level is defined at an income $1.90/day or $693.5/year. The upper bound on worldwide wealth is only bound by energy and raw materials, which we have nearly unlimited supplies of both.

My challenge to you is to increase your giving in 2023. You skip the extreme overhead of government's and every crooked politician grabbing a handful out of the hat and every special interest taking a cut. If you want to help, the answer is found in basic charity that everyone should be doing.
But C++ is an outlier in systems software. Systemd is written in C. Grub is written in C. The Linux kernel is written in C. Firmware is written in C. Sure there are some kernels that use a bit of C++, but it's an outlier, not the norm. C++ never proved the is was so worthwhile to have a higher level language that we should drop everything and write C++. C++ only dominates in performance critical applications where there is a bridge to higher level languages and you're interfacing with software.

The strongest argument for Rust is its safety features. Abstractions have made C++ an unusable mess that even C++ developers complain about on a constant basis.
Just because they don't directly wield a knife, hammer, or gun and personally extract blood does NOT mean that insufficient damage is done.

A number of the victims of Madoff's fraud committed suicide. Sure, Madoff didn't pull the trigger.

But he sure as hell enticed them to put their life savings with him, and when they were retired, had no real prospects of any new income, and were suddenly destitute with no hope of recovery, Madoff sure put them in that utterly hopeless situation, with the same end result as if he had pulled the trigger.

As they say: "If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.".

Many people are relieved and rightly so, that Madoff spent the remainder of is days and died in prison.

Same for SBF.
> when you checked, but right now it's literally nowhere to be found

When this happened. Nobody clicked on it so it fell off. (I’m still failing to see why this is a national tragedy requiring minute to minute updates.)
Regarding number 1 - in many countries, you still can! It used to be in the US you could too no problem, for both. Doesn't take going back very far in almost any country for it to be true.

Regarding number 2 - what happens when the money you steal was necessary for someone to survive, or causes such disruption and heartache to enough people, it adds up to more than if someone died?

Right now, things are abstracted enough, we just can't see the actual impact of these large frauds. But it's not uncommon for someone to commit suicide, marriages to end in divorce, kids to be severely impacted (sorry, no College fund for you anymore!), etc.
"Meanwhile, Hindu nationalists have been courting allies against their Leftist antagonists, which sometimes results in strange connections to Western white nationalists", writes the Taki's Magazine contributor. Perhaps in this one instance, the West's notion of what liberal democracy should look like is correct. Not every idea the liberal west has is, but the alternatives to these two ideas are horrible.

And probably broke their MRP/ERP systems. But the IT departments probably came up with workaround to get data out of the system and feed the ERP/MRP system just enough to keep things going but probably way less efficiently than they would have ultimately been if pain points would have been addressed in the existing system instead of the virus of your software injected inappropriately. And then you probably badmouthed the MRP/ERP system for it's failings (that were partly related to the damage done from using your system). Weak sauce man. In a different life I wrote best of breed department level software too but at least I very much understood why enterprise systems were preferred outside the department so that I COULD ADDRESS THAT CORE ISSUE THAT NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED AS PART OF MY SOFTWARE. But yea, IT department bad, me good.
If all you're worried about is redaction and not anonymity, a photocopier is perfectly fine for the job.
I checked again. He double-clicks the icon at 16:28 and the watch cursor ends at 16:55. That's 27 seconds. I might be off by a second or two, it's hard to measure exactly.

But this matches my memory as well -- Photoshop was by far the slowest program I had at the time to start up. I remember being bored waiting because it just took forever to load. While applications like Word definitely took several seconds to load, but that wasn't such a big deal.

Of course, all of this was a vast improvement over the several minutes it would take loading programs on my Commodore 64 a few years prior... from cassette tape! ;)
When Sundar doesn't react fast enough: Google's gone. They no longer have the ship-fast mentality of an upstart. Perfect is the enemy of the good. The ethics lords have taken over Google Brain. Google needs a war-time CEO.

Heh, I was afraid of being called out as a Microsoft shill. You're right, though—.NET really is that good.

"Google uses Bayesian filtering the way Microsoft uses the if statement"*

This quote is 18 years old, and already by then it was established understanding that Google had extreme technical magic the rest of the world lacked. A rushed, bumbled tech demo in an area a company who for decades has invested billions in and widely enjoyed a perception of AI supremacy is a wildly different thing to a polished demo from a company nobody expects anything good to come from.

They have constantly encouraged the belief in their technical dominance in their marketing and hiring for as long as I can remember. If that's the perception externally, imagine how much more scathing a defeat it must feel to current employees.

That what I find so funny. Again, UX innovation over LLMs is what makes ChatGPT so hot right now, like Hansel, but I mean, the product is tragically flawed as like all LLMs at the moment.
Yeah, seems a little too good (in the sense of "good" that means "bad") to be real. Although faking something like this seems like a good way to get sued by MS.
Why do you think so? That's a tall claim that could warrant showing your calculations. Curious as an outsider.

I haven’t seen anyone claim it is perfect or error free, just that it’s incredibly fun and occasionally useful. Bard is still not open to the public or to journalists and so all anyone has to go on is a few screenshots. There’s nothing impressive about a screenshot.

>Cars for example, now you must know that in Europe for some reason people are very weary of their VIN.

Quite a lot of cars in Europe, including from European marquees, have the VIN in a visible place at the bottom of the windshield.

I can also look up the VIN for pretty much any car on the road by just searching the number plate on the traffic authority's website. Gives me the VIN, last inspection date, tyre sizes, tax info, etc.
> They only way is to take down the old culture bearers. ... To change the culture, these people have to go.

I was briefly head of engineering at a company that had several "old culture bearers" that made change impossible. I was something like the 3rd or 4th engineering leader over the space of a year. Apparently the person after me was actually allowed to fire a few of these people and was able to turn things around.
The definition of the word normal. The argument you're making here is merely playing with numbers, it has no intellectual merit. Normalness is not defined mathematically, and doesn't mean the intersection of an infinite number of arbitrarily selected traits. The meaning is clear to anyone who speaks plain English.

> Microsoft has been executing very very well for the last few years.

Indeed. ~13 years ago I'd have said MS would be mostly irrelevant by the mid-late 2020's as they missed the mobile bus in the 00's which Google and Apple have on lock down.

But MS knows one thing well: developers (Thanks Ballmer). Azure, Github, vscode - a full stack of tools developers can use to deploy software - without Windows! Very smart move as they can't fight Apple or Google on the front end, so go after the back end - the engines that keep the lights on and money flowing.

They're continuing this tooling trend with AI which they can integrate into their existing tools to accelerate development (copilot, etc.) Honestly, with all this tooling in place I would not be surprised if we see a Windows mobile/phone OS make a comeback.
With Tortoise TTS you can add input voice samples from different people to produce new voices that vaguely sound like a combination of the two. It's a bit of a crapshoot, sometimes resulting in wild things like a female voice morphing into a male mid-sentence or sudden gasps and bizarre demonic croaking. Playing with it has been pretty fun.

I've even used Japanese inputs and the outputs kind of sound like the originals speaking native English. Still a bit uncanny and less stable than inputs that match the model's language.

Forget deepfaking, it's quite literally a bottomless pit of unique voices that don't exist.

If an attacker could control the curl CLI on your SoHo router, couldn't they just direct it to download their evil payload, and then use one of a million more common problems to run the evil? Or directly exfiltrate data through HTTP requests made by curl? I don't think anyone runs curl as root so there is no privilege escalation.

Seriously I can't understand the threat model here.
An identical response though? It's not just a little paragraph, it's a huge wall of text. Quite unlikely it would generate the same response(s) twice.
Huh, because from my view, rail workers expressed concern over unsafe working conditions, complained about cost-cutting measures, negotiations were shut down without giving into demands by Biden and Buttegeig.

What kind of project? GUI? Web? Infrastructure?

> VSCode and Visual Studio are two completely different products, one is a code editor, and the other is a full blown IDE

What does Visual Studio from around 2000 have that VSCode doesn't? I get that VSCode offloads a lot of work to the language server and extensions, but it offers IDE-like features including auto-completion, code navigation, and the UI is more than just code editing - it integrates version control, a test runner, debugging, etc. What is it missing that makes it not a full blown IDE?
> Most people have good days and bad days. Any manager who's crazy enough to punish someone for having one bad day isn't a good manager. If that happens it's likely a manager specific issue

How about 2 bad months due to an illness? US companies are pretty much set up so that people in those situations often end up being let go. It's not a "manager specific issue", it's a broader cultural one.

> This isn't a bad thing. More merit, less favoritism.

Sure, but then the OP's point about personal relationships is neutralized, which is why they (if not you) might want to consider unions if they want to protect themselves from the stark meritocracy that you posit.

> People are hired based off of qualifications alone (ideally)

Yep, and kept employed based on the same, and let go immediately if there might be someone cheaper or if market conditions change even slightly and "It's good for the business!". This is raw capitalism. What we have been discovering in the past couple of months of layoffs is that not everyone has the taste for it. Those folks, including OP, might want to consider unionizing.
What the author doesn’t realize is that both data collection and tracking are responsible for one of the best Disney amusement park innovations in years: minimizing the wait in lines. I would rather walk around and enjoy things with an app telling me when to wait in line as opposed to being trapped in a giant and never ending queue all day.

Disney parks have always been a mass surveillance zone for decades in the name of safety and security, regardless of whether or not you opt into their modern tech. If you don’t like it, don’t go to their parks.

Theater and music is after school.

I used to be in two team sports on the same season, theater, chess and computer club in high school and mid school.

Day looked like this wake up at 5:30. Be gross and just brush my teeth and walk to school. Do sport 1 from 6:00 to 7:30 shower and eat food from bag. While entering class at 7:50.

School day ended 2:15 alternating clubs different days (theatre, chess , computer)

3:30 sport 2 till 5:00pm

Walk back home.

I didn't play sports the other season so mostly just play Magic with other folks when sports was supposed to be there.

We also had theatre or music has an elective class. But club did better parts.
