And at that time they lose all advantages of Rust because a) the design of Rust will be broken by that and b) Microsoft does not have what it takes to get this right anyways.

Come to think of it, at 4 weeks with 40 hours each, doing nothing but staring at code, that is 0.5 seconds per line. Whoever came up with that inane number of 1Mloc/month cannot do Math.

The only thing keeping Boeing alive is politics needing them.

Let me stop you right there.

You presuppose that we know what a good desktop is. I don't think we do. I think trying many different variations to find out is exactly how we some day will.

In which parallel universe? Windows has shown what a barely passable desktop needs, one that is just about good enough to stop people from escaping from the lock-in.

We agree.

But it is not a problem the Linux crowd can solve. Because it's not a technical question.

Use an ad blocker!

Sad but true.

To add a realistic number here: I know of a reimplementation of a critical special-purpose OS for a major telco about 15 years back. Know how many lines of functional code they actually managed per person per day? One. This was far less complex than Windows or Office though.

A direct lie. I stopped reading your crap there.

Bullshit. Real national security concerns are not political. You are hallucinating hard.

I think it is possible that Microsoft is simply lying here and the whole insane claim is just an attempt to make AI, as offered by Microsoft, appear to have capabilities, it clearly does not have.

Just a thought. Obviously, they could also be insane and stupid enough to really attempt this.

We got it the first time, tony, BSAB, so vote the trump party.

How is your idol Liz different from the don? Let's see where is the daughter of the guy who engineered the conditions of the ISIS rise on the issues... So liz is...

What's the substantial difference between her and the rest of the trump party?

It literally doesn't exist.

Small wonder you'd vote for her.

Did you not read the summary? Police will be affected like everyone else.

How does that make anyone a hypocrite? You're not making any sense.

Pulling that permit might have been legally questionable, but the real story is way more complex than that, because the legality of the permit was in question and had been under scrutiny by the courts for the entire period in question. Their decision to start building in spite of the permit potentially being illegal was a mistake, and the losses from such a mistake were entirely their responsibility.

I find it difficult to imagine how they could have come to such a dubious conclusion. Oil sands are some of the dirtiest oil you can get, and encouraging the use of oil sands refining before other, cleaner sources of oil is not sound environmental policy. And making that oil easier to import into the U.S. would doubtless encourage more extraction.

A permit, once denied, isn't generally eligible for being reinstated without correcting the issues noted in denying it. They did not correct anything. Instead President Trump issued a permit himself outside of normal regulatory channels, overriding the decision of those regulatory channels, with a complete lack of environmental review, likely violating dozens of federal laws. The legality of such a presidentially issued "permit" is dubious at best, and that legality was being actively contested in the courts at the time, precisely because there's no precedent for a president having any legal authority to circumvent regulatory authority and issue a permit that violates environmental protection laws just because he wants to.

There's a reason that the oil companies did not bother to fight the Biden administration's decision to rescind the permit, and simply shut down the project. They knew that the legality of the entire project was highly questionable, and that they had spent money building parts of it with full knowledge that the permits were being challenged in court and could be found invalid, at which point they would have to tear it all down. They baked that risk into their calculations and decided to go forward anyway in hopes of a windfall, and they lost.

Nothing like that is the case for offshore wind farms, to the best of my knowledge. They were permitted through the usual regulatory channels, and there was no plausible reason to expect that such legally issued permits would be illegally rescinded on the whims of a wannabe dictator.

So it's not really the same thing. It's not even close.

Microsoft seems to be doing these kinds of migrations lately.

I think their old ways of poorly documenting things even internally came back to bite them. I've seen some things written by people who were at one time Microsoft devs working on Windows 7, 8, and 10, who said that a lot of removed functionality came because trying to figure out what the old code was supposed to be doing was nigh impossible, and figuring it out sometimes just didn't fit the schedules or budgets. If a feature didn't seem to be widely used as a percentage of the userbase, then it often got dropped.

Maybe some rewrites are being taken too far, but anyone who has dealt with code that goes back potentially more than 30 years is almost certainly going to find some really bad and/or confusing implementations.
