I use Firefox and Thunderbird. They're nice. I'm not interested in AI, and I don't get why the org would bet the farm on it. I get that it's hard to keep Mozilla funded, and they may need to get creative somehow, but this isn't the way. It's not what people use Firefox for, and it's not exploring an obviously profitable direction.

Musk has two important skills:

1) He's very inspiring. His employees like working for him (tbh it's not hard to be more inspiring than the average CEO, but he manages to pass that low bar, and his employees respond by doing good work).

2) He's good at getting funding, especially government funding.

Both of these are real skills, and they have led to all his success.

They're putting it into bonds, or putting it in a bank at the worst. In both cases it pays interest which goes up as inflation goes up. They aren't the ones being hurt by inflation.

That's kind of interesting because APL was strongly associated with remote work (and very very slow modems).

The supply curve and demand curve always meet at a point. The noise is just salespeople trying to increase demand through confusion, but it doesn't change the fundamental mathematical model.

SQL was never referred to as a forth generation language until recently. A lot of revisionism has been done lately, like in this article which has no relation at all to reality: https://dev.to/yokwejuste/prog...

Forth generation languages were usually intended to be general use programming languages, the canonical example being Forth.

Reminds me of this code: https://news.slashdot.org/comm...

Yeah, but they don't put it under a rock. They put it into short term investments, where it will mostly keep up with inflation. So that strategy doesn't do anything to rich people, it only hurts unsophisticated people.

You don't think that printing money causes inflation? Not even in theory?

LOL you are talking like a C# programmer.

Yeah, anyone who can't learn another programming language easily should not be a programmer. I don't enjoy working with those people.

That's true, people use languages because of the libraries available.

Python is just BASIC for the modern world. People learn it in school because it's easy to learn, then never learn anything else.

Yeah, but which desktop is flashy? None.

Because the new tanks are the best tanks, and it is conceivable that they would want Ukraine to win.
