Agreed. Beta means "this is our intended direction".

Acting like "It's just beta" is any defense against the architecture is just insulting. Beta is only an excuse for bugs, not an implementation design that's brazenly anti-consumer.

I thought Dr. Strange defeated him in the first movie.

Maybe, if the managers suck or it's a particular type of work.

My company has actually been doing so well with remote working since the pandemic that we're going from 3 days in the office to 2 starting next month.

And this is a company that shot down any talk of remote work for a decade before the pandemic. Turns out, some people will work very hard to produce results if you let them avoid a horrible commute.

We've had this with other services for years.

And I don't mean that as a slight to what he's achieved. I mean it to the author who's trying to imply this guy has somehow achieved something tech giants could not - when the situations are not at all comparable.

> His second chip has 200 times as many transistors as his first, a growth rate outpacing Moore's law, the rule of thumb coined by an Intel cofounder that says the number of transistors on a chip doubles roughly every two years.

That's a silly observation. Moores law doesn't apply when you are using salvaged/modern equipment to build chips that are roughly equivalent to the late 1960's in complexity. It sounds like he just built a really tiny chip the first time. He didn't have to spend time developing new technology for higher densities or to overcome other problems, he simply did what he could have done the first time with the same kit and more time.

I don't think you can get any sense of what is "normal" unless you restrict a survey to the OS files themselves.

On Linux, I have over 1.2M files in just my source code directories... and another 1M files in just my steamapps subdirectory (haven't run out of space, so why ever uninstall). So, it's extremely easy for systems to deviate by millions of files depending on the users use-case.

Some people are pointing out that it's good to have the engineers actually eat their own dog food. But how much are most of them actually going to learn from it? You think they don't have development systems where they continually simulate the entire process end-to-end in certification testing?

It's mostly a waste of highly paid engineers' time and DD's money. The engineers will already be intimately familiar with what they're using. If that's the only way for engineers to be prompted to improve things.. something has failed miserably in their incident and/or change management system.

Newer engineers will put up with it until they get a better gig. The old guys will immediately get jobs where management is not going to make them do deliveries they did not sign-on for. I don't like to drive due to vision restrictions; If my job suddenly made deliveries a part of my job I'm out. You don't have to think you're better than anyone to get pissed off at a company completely switching your job from the one you spent your whole life training into.

And if I order from DoorDash, I'd rather have an experienced driver that knows the stores/neighborhoods getting my food ASAP than some disinterested engineer going through the motions once a month.

"Through the Windows Insider Program you will continue to see us try new things based on customer feedback and testing."

I love how they through in "based on customer feedback" as if that might be the motivation for their constant anticompetitive behavior. There was not one damned customer asking "Can you please make it *harder* for us to use the software we prefer?"

Ok. Now change the default browser on iOS.

Apple added the ability to do that over a year ago. Settings | Choose the app you want to use as default | Click "Default Browser".

Condemning something bad is not itself bad. MSN condemned Trump because he's a pathological liar.
  Can you show me 30,000 times MSN lied over 4 years? Even a thousand?

So many russian trolls trying to make people stupid... and conservatives bit.

No one in the community believes his scores are legit. He got caught using emulators (https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2018/04/premiere-game-scoreboard-bans-billy-mitchell-in-donkey-kong-cheating-scandal/), so who knows if they're tool-assisted or benefiting from other hacks. Any time his name is mentioned, the facts will be brought up. Eventually, more evidence will present itself and his scores will be expunged again. If he wants the record, he'll have to do it in public, in front of everyone, because he already proved he can't be trusted.

> NVIDIA even believes this is how AI will be applied to game creation in the future.

So in the future we'll have to write the game, let the AI spend hundreds of hours watching people play it, then it will crap out a shittier version for sale to the public?

That just sounds like EA with extra steps.

Said Mueller: “[I]f we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the President clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state. Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards, we are unable to reach that judgment.”
