Programming is less than 10% coding anyhow, so why does this CEO think that AI is going to make any difference? It's like saying mechanics don't need to work on cars any more because power tools will do all the bolting and unbolting for them.

I use Nova launcher, never heard of KISS launcher so I'll give it a look-see.

Thanks for the link to the video. The main takeaway for me was how unrepairable and fragile these cars are. Large, brittle aluminium frames glued together. I think tesla are going to have their DeHaviland Comet moment in a few years time.

Well the iPhone is made in china and that seems to be the pinnacle of manufacturing so yeah.

Epic could allow linux players to have their own separate servers, and if there's cheating then it doesn't diminish the experience for everyone else. If linux players complain about cheating, they can fairly say that the nature of the platform is conducive to cheating.

Those guys aren't on the same plane as the Avengers, they're DC characters - soulless, bland and uninspired, but powerful nonetheless.

Bill Gates: Superboy. The whole clone / inferior copy thing.
Jeff Bezos: Brainiac. Swallows up whole cities and destroys planets.
Richard Branson: Booster Gold. Blowhard.

If they had, you wouldn't know that they had. Maybe a mob is going to storm the Capitol every other year and the NSA missed it for the first time ever.

If anyone still thinks it might be something interesting, thunderf00t on yt did a debunking video on this, explaining that very mundane things can look exactly like the "UFOs" in these videos. He explained them away as 747s flying away from the camera and a bird (yes a bird) flying under the super hornets, and the zoom making them appear to be travelling very quickly over the ocean below.
I was disappointed, I was hoping it would be something at least as exciting as ball lightning, but no, it's just some pilots not knowing what things look like through an advanced FLIR camera.

.. as proven empirically time and again in the software industry. It's why enterprise software tends to be way behind the curve - stability and quantifiability are underrated. It's a lot more fun and motivating to be working with the latest technologies but it's not as productive as we fool ourselves into thinking it is.
I guess it also relates to goal and expectation management: if the software needs to be 99.99% bug-free, you need all your tools to be a known quantity to at least that degree. You can always work around known bugs and shortcomings, however unexpected bugs or shortcomings can hold up a software project for months on end, and quite often cause them to fail outright.

No, it's not possible, stop wanking off dreaming about things that you know aren't feasible and are a waste of time.
Nerds who entertain the thought of warp drives in the real world are akin to pentecostal christians who ignore all the dinosaur fossils and believe the world is 13,000 years old because they find it more comforting.
Part of being a scientist and/or a critical thinker is resisting the urge to think about things that please you, and not switching off when the facts make you uncomfortable.

Thanks Lennart for dragging linux kicking and screaming into the 21st century.
Being able to redirect text output from one command to another is so fucking awesome, as is Everything being a File (except that it never quite is) but they don't cover every single use case of a modern computer, so I think we need to add some modern software design onto the unix ethos.
I think the /etc directory being called "etc" just says it all about unix and how ungracefully it evolved from its simple, idealistic & naiive origins.
You're a bunch of sticks in the mud bitching about how things are changing into something unfamiliar to them. If you really want things to stay the same as they were in the 70s, then fuck off to BSD land, linux was never unix to begin with.
Anyone complaining that it's becoming more like windows, please bear in mind that Bill Gates was very familiar with unix, having ported it to the x86 instruction set way back in the '80s. Of course, xenix didn't sell as well as DOS, but I'm sure he would've loved it if it had. Windows NT (and the registry) were designed by people who were very familiar with the ideals of unix, but knew that you can't add functionality to a system without sacrificing some simplicity - hence the registry. Personally I'd like to see a relational database at the bottom end of the whole system config and filesystem, but performance requirements preclude that. Maybe a sqlite single-file database mounted as a FUSE filesystem mounted in /etc? That'd allow slow migration to something more centralised and flexible.

People get drunk, or have a bad day, and all of a sudden pouring out their thoughts onto the internet isn't such a great idea, but they're in the habit of doing it.
This isn't a problem with Elon Musk, this is a problem with twitter and "sharing" your thoughts with the entire world. Everyone has days like this. Not everyone has the ear of the whole globe at the tip of a finger.
It'd be a good time to buy Tesla stocks, except that they were in fact overpriced to begin with of course.
The SEC should've blanket banned the guy from using Twitter and other similar social media. He could have his subordinates keep the world updated with the latest goings-on at SpaceX and Tesla.

I imagine Mozilla pulling their hair out over this. It reminds me of two separate scenes from the Simpsons:

* The one where Kang and the other alien are the two main-party candidates for the US presidential election, and even when people find them out, they decide to vote for one of them anyway rather than a 3rd party candidate.

* The one where a government witness relocation program agent is trying to train Homer to respond to "Hello, Mr. Thompson" ("Thompson" being his new surname) by stamping on his foot while he says it, but Homer still doesn't get it.

People really, REALLY want to see ads and share their personal info with multinational advertising companies.

If only they hadn't found this out, it would've made for a fantastic Air Crash Investigations episode about 10 years from now. All these boeing aircraft dropping out of the sky, seemingly randomly, over the course of 5-10 years, thousands dead, the ATSB taking years to finally work out the common cause. Ah well.

He's an MP, so odds are it's about England. Have you never watched any TV or films from the UK?
There's plenty of US politics-centric news on this site mentioning the FDA, POTUS, CDC, FCC, and we non-americans all work out what's being talked about without bitching about it.
Have a look at a globe or a map - see those bits of the world outside the USA? There's people living in those places too!
