I just meant that with Linus ranting like a rabid whippet, it is no wonder that Linux is not yet dominant in the desktop consumer space.
Indeed, Linus should have followed the example of Bill Gates, who famously gained dominance in the desktop market by being such a very nice guy.
I watch dogs (primarily overnight--most for 3-7 days but some 1 day and some >7d) via Rover. I make around $1500/month (pre-1099) and after their ~20% cut (of which most people give back to me in tips).
I WFH so the largely passive income is nice. I wouldn't have found as many people w/o a platform to do the heavy lifting for me in finding new dogs.
I am not advocating that we need to have these sorts of things in the market, but it does make for nice extra cash. YMMV.
PHBs have a reputation for stupidity, often well deserved.
AI promises to do all the grunt work, so it has the potential to make everyone into little more than a PHB.
As an EV owner I have just 1 question for 600 mile range (almost 1000KM): why?
So my partner (who irrationally worries about such things) will consent to buying one.
That's it.
The reasons don't need to be good. The arguments don't matter at all. 600 mile range is what some people expect/require from their vehicle.
OK, give them all one of those travel bikes that folds up into a suitcase. That way nobody would have the advantage of a good fit.
What I would do: Have the race sponsors dole out randomly selected identical bikes to each competitor just before the race. They could even use crappy Huffy bikes as long as they're all the same.
That would kill two birds with one stone: Making sure that there's no cheating, and eliminating the ridiculous obsession the cycling world has with trying to create bikes that weigh only a few grams. As a bonus, the best *athlete* would probably win.
The bad news: Hackers have gained access to thousands of SharePoint servers.
The good news: It will be of no use to them, because just like the befuddled employees who are stuck using SharePoint, the hackers won't be able to find any relevant information in the byzantine hierarchy of pseudo folders packed with stale artifacts.
Everyone pile into the trades just in time for the next cyclic construction industry bust.
Here's another small tweak: Fold the line back on itself to form a grid!
That way, you can ditch the whole train thing and just walk to all of your destinations. Plus, you get an urban plan that has been proven workable since the days of ancient Mesopotamia.
Materials to build Henry Ford's first factory were delivered by horse-drawn carts.
Your formula is a just a low-speed approximation of the actual formula for kinetic energy, and it is not accurate at relativistic speeds. In the actual relativistic formula, the amount of energy increases towards infinity as the mass approaches the speed of light.
sounds suspiciously like people in the government doing science work and that's verboten. turn those nerds into ICE deputies.
"Sir, we need to know how fast the earth spins so we can aim our missiles."
Very well then. Carry on, ensign.
Not sure off the top of my head, but I'm pretty certain that it has something to do with Planck units.
It wasn't that long ago that people were making posts on this site confidently claiming that "Maybe machines can beat humans at chess, but they will never be able to beat the best human players at go!"
More importantly, how will they be able to spot the trojans in the code that are part of the AI's plan to eliminate humans and take over the world?
God helps them that themselves. -- Benjamin Franklin, "Poor Richard's Almanac"
