There are a few expensive things I find necessary in the modern world. Those being food and a roof over my head. If you have suggestions for going without either of those, I’m all ears. Otherwise, fuck off with that nonsense.

I hate billionaires…

Spell-check did though.

Tell that to the people that say AI will be doing all of our jobs in 5 years.

So were start with the fact that 2+2=5 and build our glorious new science up from there.

Are these before and after? If so that looks like what I would expect fire to do to granite.

So the village was Blattened?

And now that it’s lower the billionaires are happy to pay their fair share and society is better off for it. /s

He’s one of the world’s wealthiest men. That hair is a conscious decision.

Also, Palantir, as a Tolkien reference, is too on the nose. The good guys don’t use the Palantir because of who else may be listening in. We’re so mask-off at this point you might as well call this company “The Eye of Sauron”

But it is a skill issue, just II/UX design skill. Not software development skill.

We are already there. Just look at the state of society right now and observe the critical thinking and media literacy skills of the average person.

In the words of cyberpunk author Wiilam Gibson: “The future is already here – it’s just not very evenly distributed.“

Anywhere I’ve actually seen it used , assembler and assembly were pretty much interchangeable. Assembly code is probably technically correct, but you could be writing code for the assembler so nobody will actually be confused. Per your example, you might say “I wrote code in MASM,” to reference a specific assembler. Again nobody that’s actually worked with any of this would bat an eye at the usage.

Of course they’re not touring. They’re sessile.

Some China watchers might shrug off the HEMP threat as highly unlikely, pointing to China’s nuclear no-first-use policy. However, China does not view HEMPs as a nuclear weapon, despite its use of a nuclear warhead.

It probably matters more whether Taiwan’s allies, the US in particular, would consider a HEMP to be a nuclear attack.

Zhang Bao unlocked his pirate stepmom fantasy.

The West huh? What region of the world is known for politicians who tell the truth?

What a lot of people forget is that in the early days of Linux there was no software that targeted it. Everything you would want to run on Linux was intended to run on something else like Solaris, BSD, AT&T Sytem V, SCO, AIX or something else. As a result, Linux APIs were the most generic flavor of Unix possible. Almost every thing meant for a Unix would compile and run on it and there was rarely a dependency problem.

I still miss that.

Even MS hates nmake. Visual Studio has had native support for cmake since 2017.
