I’m with you in the long term.
I am curious what kernel is backing the computers on the stuff SpaceX is doing. I’ve never seen their consoles but I am guessing we are closer to modern reusable hardware and software than we were before. When niche applications like that keep getting more diverse, i bet we will get more open specifications so everything can work together.
But again I am more pessimistic and think 50 years would be relatively early for something like that.
Yeah, I guess in my fantasy I was Assuming that windows would do a full rewrote and adopt the unix abi, but I know that wouldn’t happen.
Mainstream is about to collapse. The exploitation nonsense is faltering. Open source is emerging as the only legitimate player.
I’m a die hard open source fan but that still feels like a stretch. I remember 10 years ago we were theorizing that windows would get out of the os business and just be a shell over a unix kernel, and that never made it anywhere.
I will vote and scream and cry against it, but Boeing is likely too big to fail. Boeing and Airbus are the only game in town (in the west).
I agree with you, but nothing he workers asked for seems to do any of that. Rather it will “balloon” payroll and the c suite will look for ways to make their money. This is all assuming that boeing has been doing what other companies have been, and focusing on stock buybacks and getting money back to shareholders.
They only have official veto power on the security council. Soft power though, I’m with you. All it took was thousands of dead civilians.
The shut down came just hours after Mexico’s ruling party, Morena, wrangled the votes it needed to jam through the proposal after one member of an opposition party flipped to support it.
I have no context, nothing tells me whether or not Morena used a completely legal and normal process to change laws or if they held people at gunpoint to get the votes.
I have no opinion of the news, I need to learn more, but that article does not seem to be written with neutral language.
This is such a strange reality to live in. All of the futuristic, dystopian fiction I have consumed has the same premise that people living in the dystopia know it and know it’s bad. Somehow reality is worse.
I am so numb to outrage that this just seems… Meh. What happened to me.
Psypost out here throwing hands
Any idea yet how long it might last? Could this ever be something that we take young (either as kids or now in my 30s) and just not be afraid of lung cancer?
I liked the public ledger of contracts idea someone had. You use the public block chain to sign and store stuff like mortgages, that way everyone sees the same copy.
I’m the proud owner of “treatment resistant depression”, so yes. I’ve been sad my whole life but I started having suicidal ideation in my late 20’s.
I have a therapist and a psychiatrist so I am medicated and working on it.
Depressions sucks, but the SSRIs that I am on have wiped out my anxiety. It’s like I am a completely new person. I can go grocery shopping without nearly panicking. Somehow I found an (ex) wife before I was medicated but dating is now not quite as painful.
But yeah, I still have varying levels of bad days and I don’t know what happy actually means for me.
I think AI is falling into disillusionment and Quantum Computers feel at least 10 years behind.
I thought the connotation was chattel slavery, not BDSM.
It is changing, albeit slowly. In git the default branch was changed from master to main.
In high availability we use primary and secondary, or many other versions of the same idea (main/secondary, etc).
Not sure how disks are handled these days but I haven’t seen the master/slave terminology in those since my first CD burner
Was Henry Ford technical? I always thought he was, but now that I am older and our current “mavericks” are paper tigers, I wonder how much cult of personality colored our history books.
How cold could the foot of the Caucuses really be?
We solved this like a year ago! Though I had completely forgotten what it actually was.
