It reeks of a consultant who sold upper management via a gated demo.

We’re open sourcing our drivers since Radeon has been doing that for decades now.

Timing is about right for it to be a batch of newly minted CS grads getting into their first corporate jobs.

It could be that its success was internally attributed to a different team someone in the hierarchy favoured.

My Oma was in the Netherlands in the 1930s. Her family sheltered part of a jewish family(the elderly mother who was too sick to escape to North America, and one of her sons, a lawyer, who stayed behind to care for her.) This was before the invasion and the start of the war.

At the time, late 1930s, she said that everyone knew something bad was happening to the Jewish people the Nazis rounded up, but not what.

After more than a year of occupation, they were turned in by a neighbor for extra rations because none of her family needed daily visits from a doctor. The Nazis took the two Jewish people and her Dad into a camp.

A local factory owner, some months on, tried to have everyone from the area released in return for his compliance in letting them use his factory output. Her dad was among those released, but they refused to release any Jewish prisoners. Her parents then immediately joined the resistance and helped it out until the end of the war. The factory owner allegedly ensured that the output to the Nazis was changed to be only subtly defective units, pipe walls too thin, cooled too quickly etc.

It is in the hands of a publicly traded corporation. As soon as that planned it was already inevitably lost.

Which contributes to the death of the site, and the AI gets trained to treat untold reams of shitposts as truth.

I see that as a win-win.

Bing also grabs w3Schools as the top / AI result. However, the AI result also lets you swap to a Stack Overflow result.

And it has a bar across the top linking to different parts of the official website, including the landing page for the documentation.

I know its not chatgpt4, I never said it was?

That paragraph is on its own because it is a different topic. In this case I was using my own experience experimenting with chatgpt4 as to why I won’t be using it any time soon.

The example shown is setting a timer, then copilot suggests timeright value.

Contextually, it is bad autocomplete.

In practice, chatgpt4 is incapable of producing code to my coding standards. Edit: to clarify, its incapable of doing that in a timely enough manner that it saves me any time.

Clippy was occasionally useful as it could offer shortcuts you didn’t necessarily know about.

This is just bad autocomplete

Its not specific to Palestine as it was due to how the Ottoman empire typically left the existing adminstration structures in place when they conquered regions.

Then, many of its sultans used rival groups against each other, typically to their own benefit as both groups jockied for power over the other.

An example whwre this benefitted them was Mehmud(1 or 2), who used two rival groups dislike of each other to make them both weaker and his own position much stronger.

An example of this backfiring on them was the uprising / rebellion of Egypt.

Also, notably, non-muslims(and non-male muslims) were explicitly inferior citizens in the eyes of Ottoman law. They(example: christians and jews) were allowed to make their own communities, but they weren’t seen as equals and would be fair game to be enslaved.

When people are scared or worried, they tend to move towards conservatism.

And people are worried a lot about their finances.

Eh the brits were just following the example the Ottoman Empire set.

Yeah that’s what i meant.

Fdroid app store has a lot of frankly amazing indie games.

Pirate _freecell Solitaire. is fantastic.

Also, Warframe has an iOS version(not a port), is working on an android version, and its now fully crossplay compatible.

Yes, I’ve been doing this for years. It’s great for both code readability as well as debugging.

No, not always. I know of a very major firm that uses google suite for everything but chat and video calls. They use MS Teams because its just that much better than google’s alternative. From the chats Ive had, the issue with Slack there is that someone high up in their IT stack hates it.

Best project Ive worked on, we went and implemented a scrict code standard, based on the code standard that a firm that contracted my team to do the work had.

Worked perfectly. Beautiful, maintainable code. Still used today without major reworks, doesnt need it. Front end got several major updates, but the back end uses what is now called microservice architecture, and we implemented it long before the phrase was common.

Got the opportunity to go back to it this year. Devs with the 2nd firm not only ignored all of the documentation we put out, they ignored their own coding standards document.

If nothing else, there is space for a competitor to MS teams in the corporate space.

Everyone else is ending up on teams, but no one actually likes it.
