The phrase has been generalized to mean that the release has been made outside of the standard release schedule. You might not like that use of it, but it's pretty common.

It might be, but if so, then there are two problems.

But yes, the primary failure is in management. But we've all known that for decades when it comes to Microsoft.

As I remember joking back in the late 80s when there was an open source replacement for the DOS sort program that was an order and a half magnitude faster, about the DOS version of sort.exe:

This must have been written by an intern on a Friday afternoon in between foosball games.

> There is a HUGE difference between managing a business to make the most money and serving the users of operating systems well.

One could argue that in a mature product, these are mutually exclusive goals. Windows is 40 years old.

I tried it in Copilot just now and got the right answer, including a joke:

"1337% = 13.37 × (the original value).
So:
1337%of=13.37

Numerically:
13.37×3.141592653542.0037
  42.0

So the answer is about 42 — which feels cosmically appropriate."

Now, it's entirely possible they hard-coded this answer to a well-known problem, but I asked it several more similar questions and it got them all right.

I wonder if she will find microplastics inside.

Well into its fifth decade of trying to become a thing, it isn't yet. It didn't help that the demos Meta was showing were pretty lame, especially the Zuck with big, girly eyes. They're doing some really good research in HCI, though. Maybe they need to focus on productizing that stuff rather than chasing a platform no one wants.

Personal computer UI peaked in the 90s. It's been downhill ever since.

All the HCI research in the 70s and 80s done by companies like IBM and Microsoft made huge advances in computer usability.

Now usability has been cast off to a bunch of art school dropouts who don't know anything, and our software suffers immensely because of it.

When I was out of work for about 8 months, about 90% of the good job listings I found were on LinkedIn, so much so that I mostly stopped looking at other job boards. I subscribed to Premium during that time, and the job I ended up getting (and really like!) was one where I found the listing on LinkedIn. I did have some recruiters reach out to me with meaningful positions. Yeah, I got some scammy or otherwise useless offers, but it wasn't anywhere as bad as you're describing.

I can't say whether Premium was worth it or not, but LinkedIn as a whole was. If I find myself out of a job again, I'll probably subscribe again. But I hope that won't be the case, and have been doing my best to be amazing and indispensable at this job.

Would it have killed the person writing the headline to use the word "spending", instead of the much less clear "spend" being used as a noun?

I will, if you first cite to me legitimate, peer-reviewed studies showing any of these vaccines are safe and effective.

Grandparent said, "Thankfully, the doctors won't participate in that bulls^&t."

Yeah, they want the payoff they get for every person vaccinated.

Died suddenly? Who knows why?
Kids keeling over from heart attacks? We've always had that!
Turbo cancer? It's a mystery!
SIDS and skyrocketing childhood allergies? Must be global warming!

Either it meets the high standards required by the kernel team or it doesn't. It doesn't matter if it was written by AI, aliens or Linus himself.

I use AI tools when coding and I've used it to generate code at times, but I read through it with a fine-toothed comb, test it thoroughly, and don't commit anything I don't 100% understand. I think anyone working on the kernel is easily capable of the same thing.

... was how to disable it.
