But then they pushed out competitors porting DOS based software to Windows faster then they could.

I still have francs in my man drawer.

post quantum is funny and not funny at the same time its impossible to know which one.

no surprise its the males that are gamers

"showing that it was about as in-touch as its drivers are familiar with turn signals"

  this cracked me up ðY I did not know this was an international thing.

Planet will be here we'll be long gone, just another failed mutation,
Just another closed-end biological mistake
An evolutionary cul-de-sac, the planet will shake us off
Like a bad case of fleas
A surface nuisance

from the article:

"It seems like many ‘vibe coders’ don't realize that they don't actually have a community around them. They build projects as if they had, and spend resources accordingly. We see projects having a lot of code activity, heavy CI/CD testing, frequent and large release binaries. Sometimes, it feels like the amount of supported platforms exceeds the amount of actual users.

To us, it seems ridiculous to see projects with a single developer and virtually no users consuming as much or even more resources than some of the largest community projects on Codeberg, which operate frugal with CI/CD and storage resources. We do not believe it is reasonable for Codeberg to invest our precious donation money into hosting of large ghost projects."

They go on about increased hardware costs because of the AI hype

Maybe this could better be fixed with a "community size" metric and assigning resources accordingly. The more stars, downloads, contributers, PR's the more resources.

too bad he died yesterday

I mean the jet stream not changes in ocean currents

I think it has to do with changes in the gulf stream. The weather is more and more locked above Europe. You can actually see it: compared to when I grew up weather system now stay in place or move very slowly. This leads to water bombs and heat domes.

So true. Also, never yell "periscope up" in a sub on Saturday nights.

It's a matter of National Security: "OOI sensors measure temperature, salinity, and pressure, which dictate how sound travels through water. This data is crucial for acoustic modeling, anti-submarine warfare, and submarine stealth"

The EU could separate membership of the trade union from membership of the political union. You first join the outer circle, then the inner circle (or not). It is called the Europe with two speeds, or the European Onion.

As a Belgian, I am not that happy about the idea of re-nationalizing TGEM with Engie.
The nuclear provisions fund (via Synatom) was supposed to cover decommissioning and waste. It was built up during decades when the plants were still public and nit profitable. But a big part of that money was lent back to Electrabel, which then could generate profits on it and pay dividends to Engie shareholders.
So profits where privatized, and now the longterm risks become public again. Restarting these plants will take additional billions in public money. And it is only needed during wintertime, in the summerthere is overcapacity because of renewables. So the nuclear sites will never be profitable again, and less and less so.
