I disagree. For vast, vast majority of cases, linux would likely do the trick these days. People would complain initially and, predictably, would complain again if new functionality was taken away from them. But that is just human nature.

Lets talk reality. More and more applications users access live in a browser.. you technically could run the entire company on dumb terminals if you were so inclined ( and jobs were sufficiently.. in dire of automation, but for one reason or another human is doing those ). Windows is not needed for that.

You could argue banking/finance with excel ( and there are some neat things Office introduced with 365 ), which is presumably why that sector is going to be locked in for a while, but then.. my last class at university, all kids were running google docs and they will be making decisions one day. I am not sure that bodes well for MS/Office/Windows.

As for "accounting, customer management, CAD, printing, publishing, manufacturing, simulation, advanced reporting, large document processing, centrally controlled IT", you might be right, but somehow I doubt it. There is nothing magical about Windows. It is currently held by inertia and contracts, but even inertia ends eventually.

No. There is not. Without changing how "Linux" is built from the very C library to binary loader and graphics APIs, there cannot be either.

Try finding alternatives to Excel with its entire feature set (no cheating all SQL db integration and VBA equivalent scripting, plugin APIs should be there), PowerPoint with all the integration with other Office, Solidworks with its entire feature set, Altium with its entire feature set, Siemens NX, Catia, SAP, Ansys, Active Directory, Adobe Creative Suite or Affinity or CorelDRAW, Cubase, Sibelius just a start. And the software you mention has to have succesful companies behind them and has to be used widely.
They have a strong OR team who has been building an excellent open source solver (OR-tools) for more than a decade. It makes sense to start trying to commercialise this work. It's interesting seeing them do it through problem specific APIs though.
By the way, for those confused, Ga means “giga annum” which is a fancy way of saying “a billion years.”

Oh, I'm sure it'll take at least several decades and more likely centuries but getting a new planet would be worth it. Seems like a harder project than terraforming Mars but in the end it would be a nicer place in my estimation. With only 7% less gravity, nearly as much surface area and without the dim sun that Mars has I think I'd rather live there.
I work as a software developer at a major research university. I got a PhD there long ago and I've worked in a wide range of jobs ever since including another job at that university. PhD connections helped me get the first job but not my current job. The university hires a large number of people to do everything from food service, building maintenance, the trades, to technical and administrative. All of those employees have a number of privileges such as being able to take a free class every semester (a grad level seminar can open opportunities like nothing else) and if you have flexibility in hours you can go to talks, etc.

Let's put it this way. If you can write a (1) good grant proposal with a good chance of getting funded you are required these days to (2) get a professor to be the principal investigator if you want to spend it and I'd say (1) is much harder than (2). Not like it is easy, but it is possible.

Lisps, Smalltalks, and APLs are among the language families that haven't bothered with precedence.

I suspect we will get ML based "upsamplers" / enchancers / artifact removers, similar as we already have for images. That can be used to automatically post process. If they do not already exist?
Kurzgesagt has a good youtube video of the idea. It's wacky and unrealistic in some ways but doesn't violate any laws of physics and seems feasible to the sort of advanced civilization we humans hope to have in many decades.
If you want to get the best deal, you always have to shop around and negotiate.

I also noticed that just cracking a window doesn't seem to do much according to the CO2 monitor, except letting the heat escape.

The trick is to open multiple windows/doors wide and get some cross ventilation going. This gets CO2 down in only a few minutes. It's called stoßlüften in German.

Israel administers the West Bank as a bantustan for the majority of their (technically non-citizen) Arab population, but does not officially count it as part of their territory, so they don’t have to grant the people there citizenship or allow them voting rights. But it’s worth repeating: Israel entirely controls this territory. That is clearly undemocratic.

In fact, there is no question about revision of ideas being crucial. Some seem to ignore it. Others do not know exactly how to implement it.
If you print money and give it to trainers / mentors so that they can scale themselves to train more people for relevant skills.

Even in US, labor participation is 62%. So we have 38% slack. Now, think about India, Africa were able bodied and smart people don't have opportunities to use their body/mind and a significant portion.

Like I said, your understanding of economics is still basic.

tl;dr -- Unless all 8 Billion people are at peak productive capacity, there is always slack and wherever there is slack printing money (with the right incentives) is an easy solution

That reminds of a considerably softer-sci-fi plot device from Earth by David Brin, where (somehow) gravitational waves of the right "tuning" could kill humans (via some kind of Roche-limit or spaghettification phenomenon) but not most other living things.
Weird to accuse a response of being belligerent when your initial comment stated that people who disagreed with you are in denial.

What was implied by your statement? That you don’t understand other people’s perspectives?
I can only respond with an echo: "The fact that people like you exist is far more damaging for the world than phone thieves."

Unreserved compassion is by far the most harmful atavisms of human evolution. More evil, even, than tribalism and tall-poppy syndrome. The combination with the latter, in a sense of being reluctant to punch down, produces the likes of you - active fellow-travelers to psychopaths. The logical result is either societal collapse or someone like Duterte or Bukele restoring order. I think it's much better to have the right amount of retributive justice to being with.

Generally speaking, probably not; new-hire grants are generally one of the largest stock grants you get (promotions and bonus awards being second); annual refreshers are relatively small.

But do I today have more RSUs earned cumulatively than a brand new hire at the same level? I would say yes, but only because of promotions and bonus grants -- Based on levels.fyi (grain of salt), my stock compensation is comparable to a new hire one level up.
Solution: use a synthetic one
You kind of have to pick an argument though. Are your parents tech-illiterate, or are they routinely doing CAD, simulation, and manufacturing work?

Being tech-illiterate is where Linux shines. Point them to a browser, set up unattended-upgrades, and you're good for a few years - at which point they'd have needed help installing a Windows update (98 -> XP -> 7 -> 8) had Microsoft not decided that thou shalt update, whether the user wants to or not.

Doing any of the above turns it into a hobby. All hobbies require tools, and many software based hobbies require one to learn software. It doesn't seem unreasonable to learn to use publishing software because you want to self-publish a book. Same with learning CAD because you want to learn to 3D print doo-dads and helpful thingamajigs.

And if we're discussing office workers? Well, the IT department is paid handsomely for a reason. One of those reasons is to make the OS as close to invisible as possible. Which again, seems reasonable enough to me.

If you want to say Linux isn't there, then fine. But please don't derail parent's thread by changing the hypothetical user and moving the goalposts.
Can’t hurt to try anyway. You lose nothing, but can get some laughs.

<< games

I no longer buy this argument at all. Between the work Steam put into Proton, this is had been largely a non-issue. About the only game I needed to use VM for was Fallout 3 ( I didn't feel like messing with it for more than 15 minutes ). There are some things Windows is still good for, but that list is growing shorter.

<< I think the real audience for these articles isn’t Windows users at all. It’s for Linux users to pay themselves on the back for not using Windows.

The intended audience is the people, who most need to hear it, because they do not realize there are options other than OS1 or OS2. And that it is not nearly as hard as it was only a decade ago.
> Changing cultural problems like this will take time and tact.

It starts with men not caring if other men say they're too emotional, or that they over share or whatever else. It starts with men allowing themselves to be vulnerable and setting an example for one another, especially older men showing younger men that's ok

Shying away from this is part of the problem

That's strange to me. Why is it extortion? They're doing you a favor by giving a chance to compete. Seems like honest communication to me.

It's called Saudi Arabia. (Okay, well, you don't get executed there; your hand just gets chopped off.) Some people do want to trade freedom/rights for safety, yes. Most people, even, going by history and the state of the world today.
I misunderstood your point; I thought you were saying having a surrogate key here would be better.

For the above, either ensure that all email addresses are stored in one case (and index / query on the same), or if that’s impossible for some reason, you can query with ILIKE, optionally creating a trigram index (for Postgres; this isn’t a problem in MySQL since by default it’s entirely case-insensitive) on the column. Another option is to index with a functional index (CREATE INDEX user_email_lowercase ON user (LOWER(email))), and then code the API doing these lookups to cast to lowercase. That way, it’ll be retrieved and displayed however the user entered it, but retrieved based only on the CI version.
Compared to weather balloons, it's quite a bit more data. In the U.S. there are only 91 weather balloon launching sites, so that's 182 observations per day. AMDAR has 700 aircraft, and each one probably makes about 4 flights per day, and they get a temperature profile going up and going down, so that's 5600 profiles per day. There are about 450 airports in the U.S. with regular commercial service, and the majority of these are covered.
That's not a model training data thing though, it's a RAG thing. Functionally very different from using that text for training data.
No, because we also don't know what the program does if it is called because it is Turing-complete.
The Google search stuff recently wasn't training data, it was RAG.
From what I've been told, Intel allows 2 so you can go try to start a company. I once worked at a startup founded by a whole group from Intel doing this (including one of the original architects of 8086!). Several were on their last attempt. Every one of them went right back to intel, after it didn't work out.

And, from what I've been told about Apple, the idea is that if you can't find something within Apple (since they literally do everything, even textiles!), then Apple probably just isn't a good fit, especially since it is possible to spin up a team to make something new internally.
>This is in opposition to the usual "the only point of a business is to make money" ethos that so permeates neoliberal capitalism that we hardly even notice it anymore.

Thanks for putting it words that I could not normally articulate. On HN, I find people are quick to label capitalism=only for profit,hence bad for people and the supposed opposite i.e socialism=good for people. The lack of nuance among cranial challenged is annoying, without realizing that the later embodies the quintessential the-road-to-hell-is-paved-with-good-intentions.
It was actually the age of your account that led me to "shoot from the hip".

> How confident are we that these aren’t new organisms that arose from the same mechanisms that birthed the ancient ones?

Having genetic similarity to other organisms would be a good clue that it's not some separate parallel biogenesis.

Of course, another way to look at it is that they both did arise the same way... From a parent even older. :p
Your dismissal has a magnitude less logical coherence than your premise.

Someone calculated that one of the LIGO detections (of a black hole merger) would have been audible from about 1 AU away. Of course, you would be fried, too. But it's still interesting.
The question is raised at the end about the undecidability of ambiguity of CFLs, and whether, under certain restrictions, the problem becomes decidable.

As the author points out, Regular Language ambiguity (among many other properties) is decidable.

One of my favorite language facts that I always keep in my back pocket is the existence of Visibly Push Down Languages and the related Finite Tree Automata, which reside in between Regular Languages / FA and CFLs / PDA in the inclusion hierarchy. Whereas Regular Languages give you a limited, tail-recursive or looping structure, VPLs / FTA give you the kind of full recursion you'd expect as a programmer without compromising decidability of all the essential questions (intersection, emptiness, negation, ...).

VPLs are very expressive, and many languages which you hitherto thought were general CFLs often turn out to be VPLs!

The key distinguishing feature of VPLs as a restriction of CFLs is that you can always tell where the recursive term boundaries are, with bounded lookahead, by detecting sentinel "call" and "return" tokens, such as open/close parentheses or other hints. This makes all kinds of questions decidable because parsing algorithms don't have to indefinitely defer decisions about where to place term boundaries.

I'm not sure whether VPLs can assist the author in this particular application because 1) I haven't determined whether an expression grammar with operator precedence is a VPL (though I suspect it is... when reading left to right you are never held in suspense about the implicit grouping for very long, and the explicit grouping is, well, explicit.) and 2) I don't know for a fact that ambiguity is one of the advertised decidable questions for VPLs (but again, I suspect it is, as all these properties seem to stand and fall together).

Edit: I was a bit sloppy when referring to ambiguity. Of course, it's a property of a grammar, that is, one particular representation of a language as an explicit machine of sorts, not a property of the language itself.
Me: Oh , so it's pong... wait, why is there TWO balls?

>30 seconds later<

Me: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
> But at this point we lose decorativeness.

I don't understand this sentence. The left-recursive rules are pretty much standard. Many parse algorithms deal with such left-recursive rules well; you can feed such rules directly to e.g. Earley parser and it will work correctly without producing ambiguous parses. And of course as the author says they capture precedence well. So what is this lack of decorativeness that makes it non-ideal? Decorate what?

>stock appreciation and more importantly, extra stock awards, are difficult to match.

Other FAANGs will likely match. That's how comp went bonkers the last four years (and is normalizing now). People were leveraging their unvested stock appreciation in negotiations for new offers.

(Netflix and Meta in particular have said they'll beat any other offers from FAANG).

Now if you're already at Meta and got a huge grant at the low, then yeah you're probably topped out for a while but congrats on being pretty rich :)

+1 for moissanite!

I went with moissanite for my engagement ring. A lab grown diamond with equivalent specs was $13000 (AUD). The moissanite was $700 (AUD) which was in line with other international jewellery vendors' prices. You can get much cheaper prices than what we paid but we were happy to go through the jeweller's preferred vendor rather than sourcing it ourselves.

I had considered other gems like emerald, sapphire, etc. but I'm rough on my hands and wanted something really tough.

I felt a bit silly that I wanted a ring at all, tbh. Just not getting one is an option we considered. I like shiny things and don't own any other jewellery. That's my excuse and I'm running with it!

I really love it. It's so dazzling it distracts me sometimes when the light plays on it. I'm a bit embarrassed when people think it's a diamond; we've got a million other things we'd spend tens of thousands of dollars on that's not a shiny rock.

Anyway, moissanite is great.
