> It's counterproductive to take business conflicts personally.

100% agree with this, but it is productive to understand what was behind a business conflict. Personal like or dislike can change which alternative of a choice of equal alternatives, someone might make. As Tony Soprano would say, "It's just business."
It is not. Think about it. Diversification ensures that if one of your assets degrades in value, you have an unrelated asset that can still do well. Back to Alphabet, if ads revenues disappears overnight, Youtube becomes a dead project. Simples

How do I become a graphics programmer?
It's really nothing at all like that. TTYs are the core interface of all terminals in *nix including the one you would use in any X11, Wayland or other graphical environment, those specific incarnations using something called psuedo-ttys but its all the same stuff in the kernel.

What you really mean are plain text mode consoles for which most UNIX likes further extend this to allowing multiple "virtual" consoles to share one display. And MacOS does have text consoles (see video_console.c in the darwin source), they are just not usually used and very hard to get to especially in Apple Silicon era macs (older macs can easily be booted in single user mode with Cmd+S)

But this is still not at all analogous since it's still the same OS underneath. Windows 95 family was a virtual machine manager launched from DOS so booting into DOS means not loading it at all.
The issue for compatibility wasn't so much the graphical shell part as the VMM (virtual machine manager).
The employees rapidly and effectively formed a quasi-union to grant themselves a very powerful seat at the table.
https://archive.ph/q4v16
Well structured unions have a board seat; this would likely have avoided this issue in the first place.

This action, by both the board and the employees, is the result of poor communication. It has caused non-trivial damage to the organisation, internally and externally. It is highly desirable for everyone involved for this level of disruption not to happen again.

Their source is equally bad, and I have no faith even in that number. I see double counting too, if you blame pollution for buying a car on the customer, and blame that same pollution on the person who owns the shares of the company that made it, you are double counting.
That graph is utterly useless. How hard is it to place units on a freaking graph?
I don't believe Science Mission Directorate (SMD), which funds science related missions that JPL and GSFC compete for, has ever been so flush with cash as to be able to develop a JWST constellation of that size.

We'd prolly need to raid the HEO budget and kill off some too-big-to-fail-missions in Texas to get the money for that....
Do you really think that MMA is not being deceptive? Wikipedia lists them as "a left-leaning[3] 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization". Is that not a true characterization?
Most corps are looking at GH EMU, which means you bring the username/email address, and that a public GH username is not possible. This also prevents the creation of public repositories.

It doesn't require trash patents. It just require engineers turned entrepreneurs wasting their time in court trying to enforce claim or testifying on behalf of their investors to enforce claim. Time spent in court is time not spent on engineering.

Even if these entrepreneurs were successful, now you have a 20 years monopoly. That's not without cost to the economy at large.

That's even assuming patents are necessary to disclose secrets. We have companies that specialize in benchmarking and reverse engineering products. Then why are the hell we need patents as soon as the product is available on the market and someone can duplicate it?

If you have trade secrets to protect, why the hell would you leak it and hope that the arduous process of enforcing your patent claims would pay itself back? Lawyers are expensive.
The bugs are in cross platform code beneath the VFS. They exist on FreeBSD too.

I appreciate the thoughtfulness + candor of the reply, and I think you are right about these things. This is the kind of "real talk" that I need!

Sounds like that's a +1 for "go into code freeze, market it on the cheap, and don't invest more into product dev until there are some paying users"?

If that doesn't pan out after a reasonable effort, I'll have to start looking at options for liquidation or open sourcing it.
Aside from all other advantages I'm on Firefox because can't live without MRU ctrl-tab tabs management. Chrome will never implement this, and plugins for different keys are not an option.
With the 'Delete Data on Quit' option enabled on Firefox mobile, this used to adequately clear (or seemed to) any state for Youtube.com.

Some time over the last few months this seems to have changed - I have to now go to Settings > Delete All Browsing Data (or similar) to effectively get Youtube.com to forget everything.

Not sure what has changed there...

His critique of his manager doesn’t paint him in the most positive light either. The fact that she seems to articulate the strategy but he doesn’t understand it is something I’ve seen on a few occasions where people effectively refuse to acknowledge the strategy because they disagree with some aspect of it.

His lack of specificity on almost all counts but her name also makes me question his judgment.
Show HN: Get Your MVP in Flat 2 Weeks
I hate cron for running small personal scripts and jobs. I hate ad-hoc handling of logging / observability / success monitoring. I want a web UI for all of it. I hate trying to figure out how to handle event based job triggers that are more fancy than the 10 line bash script they end up running. I hate trying to wrap up solutions for all those into infrastructure as code — I will end up running an unpatched Ubuntu 20 for the next decade if I can't just nuke the box and reload my config + scripts. I hate the idea of relying on the continued existence of a hosted service, as well as them being able to see that I'm fine tuning an LLM for erotic stories (or whatever).

Windmill solved all that for me. I write a short little Python script, paste it into the web UI and boom it's running with good answers for all the above issues. That's great DX.

If workflow engines try to solve every problem they can devolve into plugin and complexity hell. Jenkins issues have caused a lot of headache at my day job lately. I don't want Windmill to fall into the same trap.
Infinitely more than never talking about it, at the very least. It definitely will empower others to talk about it by validating their perceptions and concerns.
Yeah, it's just not a factor. If it was a laptop that I randomly left unattended a lot or used on unsecured networks, maybe I'd care.
I mean that incubator was a total waste of money. No one did anything, everyone was a bser from the top, and 95% of the projects were total failures. I think there were maybe 3 "successful" projects.
In a way, I miss the days where there was kind of a "gentlemen's agreement" not to abuse vulnerabilities with antisocial behaviour. The Morris worm changed that for networked Unix machines. The Canter & Siegel spam changed that for Usenet. And the beautiful open architecture of everything has devolved into heavily armed conflict where antispam measures mean you can't send email from "interesting" sources, you can be blocked by Cloudflare if they deem your internet behaviour suspicious, where you can be banned for life from important platforms because an algorithm thinks you might cause trouble, etc.

As with so many other things "we can't have nice things" because there are always bad apples, and everything devolves into a standoff between them and everyone else, with lots of collateral damage.

Mearsheimer was prescient when he advocated Ukraine be allowed to keep a strategic nuclear stockpile in the early 90s when the US admin was pushing to disarm Ukraine, post breakup of USSR.

The Case for a Ukrainian Nuclear Deterrent

Most Western observers want Ukraine to rid itself of nuclear weapons as quickly as possible. In this view, articulated recently by President Bill Clinton, Europe would be more stable if Russia were to become "the only nuclear-armed successor state to the Soviet Union." The United States and its European allies have been pressing Ukraine to transfer all of the nuclear weapons on its territory to the Russians, who naturally think this is an excellent idea.

President Clinton is wrong. The conventional wisdom about Ukraine's nuclear weapons is wrong. In fact, as soon as it declared independence, Ukraine should have been quietly encouraged to fashion its own nuclear deterrent. Even now, pressing Ukraine to become a nonnuclear state is a mistake.

A nuclear Ukraine makes sense for two reasons. First, it is imperative to maintain peace between Russia and Ukraine. That means ensuring that the Russians, who have a history of bad relations with Ukraine, do not move to reconquer it. Ukraine cannot defend itself against a nuclear-armed Russia with conventional weapons, and no state, including the United States, is going to extend to it a meaningful security guarantee. Ukrainian nuclear weapons are the only reliable deterrent to Russian aggression. If the U.S. aim is to enhance stability in Europe, the case against a nuclear-armed Ukraine is unpersuasive.

You've identified a key misunderstanding - conflict resolution between individuals is nothing like conflict resolution between nations.

Our metaphors for nations in the Lakoffian sense[1] erroneously guide us toward the conclusion that "countries are people". Countries "want" this or "dislike" that is specifically an example of personification identified in chapter seven.

This is a dangerously leaky abstraction that when taken for granted lead to the naive conclusions you've identified like nations calling each other up and resolving some misunderstanding.

Partially, the fact that diplomatic negotiations are closed and the public has no mental model of how negotiations actually work can be blamed too. That doesn't necessarily mean that negotiations should be made public (how would that work?), but that it is a complicated contributing factor.

Political viability plays a hugely underappreciated role and simply telling the body politic "you're not going to get your way this time,"(like children) doesn't and will not work.

Indeed. It's impressive how they managed to extend it.

Wikipedia provides some hints:

> Although subsequent versions of Windows added new file system-related features, they did not change NTFS itself. For example, Windows Vista implemented NTFS symbolic links, Transactional NTFS, partition shrinking, and self-healing.[21] NTFS symbolic links are a new feature in the file system; all the others are new operating system features that make use of NTFS features already in place.

If I had to guess, most of these new functionalities leverage NTFS metadata: https://ntfs.com/ntfs-system-files.htm

I don't think that's quite right, Microsoft's main game was keeping the money train going by any means necessary, they have staked so much on copilots and Enterprise/Azure Open AI. So much has been invested into that strategic direction and seeing Google swoop in and out-innovate Microsoft would be a huge loss.

Either by keeping OpenAI as-is, or the alternative being moving everyone to Microsoft in an attempt to keep things going would work for Satya.

The double-dipping charge doesn't seem particularly real — even pg still to this day personally invests in YC companies while they're in YC, even before Demo Day (e.g. Phind). I very much doubt he fired Sam for doing it too. It reads to me like Sam was focusing more on OpenAI (the "absenteeism" that the article mentions was primarily due "to his intense focus on OpenAI") and pg told him he couldn't do both.

Somehow trying to tie that to the OpenAI board — which couldn't even come up with a concrete reason for firing him to their attempted CEO replacements, who both then switched sides to supporting Sam — seems like a stretch.
Wow, that's some incredibly damning stuff, especially from his own sister. I'm a bit surprised to have never heard about any of this before, but I guess the kind of influence Sam has can be pretty effective.

> That's not really fair. The uses that make sense when considering Python's convention ("Pythonic" code, nebulous but usually well-understood) are supported.

You're focussing on a very specific part of what I wrote. Just because my specific example consists of a Result type being transformed into a Tuple, it doesn't mean that the basic use case of "concatenate two tuple types" is so far out there.

> f an operation on a homogeneous collection can say "nope" for some values and process others, the values would be typed "T | None". If the data isn't really a collection but a structured mapping, in general, attributes would be made optional on a case-by-case basis. If all attributes happen to be optional but the mapping itself is non-optional, that sounds more like an accident of this specific case than something we should complicate a language over. If this happens over a whole codebase, I guess I feel for you. Maybe that's when it makes sense to give up a bit of static typing and treat these values a bit more like data and a bit less like separate arguments, no matter what kind of complicated typing the language can do.

But the static typing is extremely helpful, it prevents many kinds of errors. Not being able to use it for these kinds of things makes Python a worse language, no matter how you cut it (in the sense that it would be a better language if you could).

> Honestly yes, this example seems so unusual that it doesn't make sense to debate it without knowing concretely what's happening in your code that this needs to be supported.

Again, my specific example doesn't matter. The use case is "function takes in two tuple types and returns a concatenated version". That's something a type system should be able to handle.

> I guess that this specific example would get easier. But I would hardly call one type system superior over that.
