Because it works pretty well and offers basically all development tools and WSL2 as well. And some Developers like the Windows Desktop. (I know this might be an unpopular opinion)
I swear, these sort of snarky drive-by comments are below HN's standards. I'll bite anyway.

- Windows has a 72-75% market share of desktop OSs.

- About 95% of non-console video games are developed either for or on Windows. And video games are the most lucrative entertainment market—more than music, film, television, and adult entertainment together.

- A large majority of internal sysadmin is run with Windows Server 2022, including things like Active Directory, Exchange, SMB, etc.

- About a fifth to a quarter of public web servers are also running Windows Server.

These are the financial factors.

- Windows is a decent development environment—sue me, UNIX greybeards.

- Visual Studio 2022 blows everything that the FOSS world has come up with out of the water. GDB, perf, LLDB, dtrace, I've used them all. They all suck compared to what VS offers. After some point, you want to stop screwing with 'my OS is an IDE', and just click through your source code setting red circles, press the green play button, and then smash F5 jumping through code. And it works.

- During debug, I get flame graphs, memory and CPU profiling with live graphs, stack traces, exception traces, conditional breakpoints, thread tree views, local, global, and 'auto' variable values, highlights when variable values change, and even GPU debugging.

- For a 'closed-source' OS, debugging and profiling on Windows is still better than on Linux[1].

- Windows comes with a fantastic GC runtime—.NET—and an equally powerful shell (heh, maybe that's why they called it PowerShell) that can directly call methods and classes in said runtime. I'd like to see the UNIX shell with an equivalent.

- Windows doesn't have fork(), and all the baggage that comes with it. It is possible to back-target Windows XP and even Windows 2000 from a computer running Windows 11 and VS 2022. I'd like to see what Linux can do barring 'let's spin up an old CentOS Docker'.

These are the development factors.

As a user OS, it's getting enshittified, I fully concur. I despise the encroachment of ads and 'Copilot' everywhere. But as an OS, I'll daresay it is every bit as productive as Linux is, if not more so.

It really seems unlikely one human can split themselves between so many projects and keep all of them successful unless they dis-engage from a few and let those they hired run the show (mostly how he's behaved with SpaceX). If the person is like this they likely don't deserve the sort of compensation talked about in this article.

Beautiful: humans, flowers, orchids, bumble bees, butterflies, ladybirds, birds of paradise, big cats...

Ugly: most other insects, maggots, spiders, deep sea fish, proboscis monkeys, lampreys...

Thinking that some ugly creatures aren't ugly, or that beauty isn't real and objective, is part of of the aesthetic inversion of our time. It's the same phenomenon which put toilets and unmade beds into art galleries.

None of this implies that we can't disagree about specific cases, or that beauty is easy to define, or that we shouldn't treat animals well!

I don't think your example is completely logical and is pretty biased sounding opinion from "someone who did work in insurance".

"Because most land with residential development floods" - no i don't think its exactly that. Most land with residential development floods is not true. Now what is true is that most land in a flood zone does indeed have a high chance of flooding. Flood zones are a fairly known and accurate data set that anyone can look at. Heck most of the online realtor sites will show you a flood map with the property. This is the same problem for individuals that live in CA in known fire zones. These type of properties are impossible to underwrite because everyone in pool is high risk. You either need to build a home that is fireproof or accept the risk and potential for total loss. The fed's flood insurance and the state levels fire program are just allowing people to continue to live in unsustainable areas or with properties that have not taken the precautions to prevent loss.

The article mentions copying databases using templates. Once your database has got big enough, that might not make sense.

You could use a zfs fs for your cluster, snapshot it, then mount it in a new cluster. This would prevent copying the data, as zfs would do copy on write. So you get your isolation, and speed on large DB's. You do need to run a new postgres cluster though.
Yes, it is about openness and competition. What I'm saying is that the current climate is over-valuing the App Store market when the real openness and competition should be happening on the open web.

I see this caused by the financial world's excitement for the app Store economy. This same "irrational exuberance" happened during the .com cycle.

Developers/entrepreneurs should be focused on the open web as the delivery mechanism which bypasses all app Store rules. This is freedom to me.

Regulators should be watching the "public space" of the internet and worry less about the "private space" of the app Store economy and platform.

The regulators should make it is simple to publish on port 80 and port 443. I think we have that. A five person start up should do everything they can to minimize the amount of regulated data they collect.

I would worry less how an abusive company might act and more on how to delivery a good experience with one's product.

How abusive can a big company be on the internet?(excluding ISPs). My point is that organic communities on the internet is where freedom happens. Anyone expecting to get freedom from a product in an app Store is mistaken. App stores can provide amazing convenience. Apple essentially built a global store that handled taxes and regulations seamlessly for it's developers. The process is so seamless everyone thinks it should be free.

Yes, but the amount they have invested into training llama3 even if you include all the hardware is in the low tens of millions. There are a _lot_ of companies who can afford that.

Hell there are not for profits that can afford that.
Presumably megacorp's laywers are engaged with you doing due diligence before the acquisition, will be looking into this, and evaluating the license. Maybe they have prior licensing agreements with Meta, or plan to replace your use of Llama with something different, who knows.

OTOH if you are being acquired by Elon Musk, then there may be no due diligence, he will tear up any existing license agreements, spend the next year bickering with Meta on Twitter, then be sued to comply.
I believe he is saying Facebook isn't entitled to tracking, but consumers aren't entitled to Facebook either. Especially given Apple has not relented on the anti-tracking provisions, I don't see the contradiction, especially since one is an interaction between a government and a company and the other is the interaction between two companies.

Which is not to say he is right.
>Why do professional software developers use Visual Studio in the first place?

- to build C++/C# executables that are deployed to Windows computers. Examples are the millions of corporate desktops that already use Microsoft Office suite and home pcs with Windows for running AAA games.

- to build ASP.NET web apps because the corporation chose the Microsoft stack of WindowsServer+SQLServer+C# instead of Linux+MySQL+PHP.

Why do companies continue to use Windows instead of Linux? Often because they have lots of other desktop software that only runs on Windows. E.g. CAD, analytics, etc.

If the target audience is already on Windows and the implementation language is C++/C# instead of Javascript/Electron, the easiest path for the developer is to also use Microsoft Visual Studio on Windows.
By the time Microsoft stepped in, Nokia's mobile phone market share had already plummeted, and they'd cut their Finish work force to probably a third of what it was at its peak. Yes Nokia is a shadow of its former self, but most of that happened before Microsoft [0].

Hell if you really wanted to you might even be able to make an argument that, with hindsight, Microsoft saved Nokia by letting it gracefully jettison it's failing phone business, get a much needed cash injection, and refocus on other parts of its business.

[0] Of course some argue that Microsoft actually took over the day Elop became CEO, and everything he did was part of some plan to sink Nokia so that Microsoft could buy its phone business on the cheap.
So something like having a smaller model generate embeddings, and use the embedding distance between the predicted text and the expected text for the loss computation?

That sounds like it would be incredibly expensive. But maybe it allows you to fine tune on less data, offsetting the cost a bit (and allowing you to fine tune on just your very best data)
GCP charges for egress though. Agreed with OP, please bring Neon to GCP! Why Azure first?
As a legal practitioner, and as someone who has friends within the medical community, I find your outrage odd.

There's a reason why civil courts and judges are often given leeway to decide against the reception of expert testimony - because not all experts really are so. Especially in something like psychology - which isn't really science per se - you'd expect the courts to be more guarded against possible quacks.

Just because you owe your life to psychologist help, doesn't mean that psychologists are all acceptable.

You also didn't read between the fine lines - a satirical document had passed the senate as possible law by "unanimous approval". Which means that the lawmakers who voted in favour didn't really read or consider what was being passed. That's even more embarassing.

But if, after the mass introduction of that medicine, the number of people with the disease skyrocketed, then there’s a decent likelihood the causality does actually go that direction.

With other treatments for diseases we always expect the incidence rate to decline — because the treatment works. If it stayed static or went up slightly, then the treatment doesn’t work (and you’re might have slightly higher rates due to new interest in the diagnosis). But huge increases…that’d not be good.
Some things simply don't work as a government model either. The logic in this entire thread is flawed. Just because someone decided to buy a home in a known flood zone or in a known high-risk fire zone, does not mean other individuals should have to compensate them for taking on that risk. Lets not dilute this with public services such a police or fire. This is about insuring homes that individuals bought, often/majority of the time with known data that it is at some risk. We cannot just eliminate risk for risk-takers.

How to be a 10x engineer:

Be neurodivergent.

I'm not sure what it is but that does seem to be the rule.

Aspergers folks and their attention to detail, logical reasoning, hyperfocus, routine!, etc are all social disadvantages but huge tech advantages. If you don't have these advantages because you're neurotypical, it does seem that it makes working in tech much more difficult. Hence the 10x difference.

Emotions? Hmm it's not that im a robot,there are emotions but like alexithymia can be cured. The android app that helped me was 'how we feel' which aligns emotions 2d. It's super hard at first but then your skill level increases. But I don't see emotions as being as significant as focus or attention to detail when it comes to being an engineer.

The Onion's been covering the competitive circuit since 1996, when trash talk was all the rage in prayer playoffs:

> LHASA, TIBET—Employing the brash style that first brought him to prominence, Sri Dhananjai Bikram won the fifth annual International Yogi Competition yesterday with a world-record point total of 873.6.

“I am the serenest!” Bikram shouted to the estimated crowd of 20,000 yoga fans, vigorously pumping his fists. “No one is serener than Sri Dhananjai Bikram—I am the greatest monk of all time!”

Sri Dhananjai Bikram walked away with the World Yoga Championship after averaging 1.89 breaths per minute for two straight hours. "I'm blissful! You blissful?! I'm blissful!" he screamed repeatedly to the other yogis.

Most insurance companies have made pretty public statements about states not giving them the ability to properly account for global changes in climate. I don't think it has anything to do with what you are saying. There is no conspiracy that "fire season" is a code word for "climate change". Fire season is a complicated problem with many inputs but I am sure the lack of proper fire management of these lands did not help it.
One of my thoughts is that legislatures need more money for staff. Executive branches have billions of dollars to hire experts on long term contracts. How many in house experts does a legislature have?

Maybe 100 years ago this would work, but the modern state is really complex, and the problems are really complex, because if they were easy they would be solved.

The amount of money that state and federal legislatures control is huge, My hunch is that if they spent more on extra staff, the increase in quality of legislation would provide enough economic benefits to cover the cost.
