He’s not “out of touch”: he’s devoted to Israel, as he has repeatedly stated throughout his career. He sees his role as being a defender of Israel from political attacks in the USA. He’s not confused about this, nor does he try to hide it.

Or all the ones at the top, since if you go far enough there’s probably something living or formerly living in each square.

Or all of them because if you can see them it’s a sign you’re alive.

Or just switch off the computer and walk away because you’re starting to take joke Captcha memes way too seriously and you’ve had enough internet. Sorry. Time for a break.

Journalists might do better to report when Microsoft release a patch that isn’t full of catastrophic bugs.

Your Rollercoaster Tycoon example is a bit odd, since coding a whole game in assembly indicates deep understanding of what you’re doing, whereas the problem with vibe coding is that it requires only the shallowest understanding. Unless I’m misunderstanding and that was your point.

There may be a maintainability issue with both, but for a different reason in each case.

Seemingly just because the title has “PHP dev” in it. It’s not entirely fair.

Overregulation and underregulation are both problematic, so it’s not an easy thing to get right. But sometimes you get the impression a regulation is all agenda and very little thought (e.g. this one in California, and the FCC’s recent banning of foreign-made home routers).

I suspect it just indicates the excessive power of corporate lobbyists.

Yeah I know. Still, a different imperial asshole wouldn’t be this particular asshole.

Iran was going to let ships through if they paid a toll, so now the USA has decided to blockade the Strait of Hormuz, ensuring that no ships can get through. So the world has to run out of fuel and fertilizer thanks to Trump’s ego and greed. And none of this would have happened if Trump hadn’t attacked Iran just as they were about to agree to a deal. Trump is an enemy of the world. He has to go.

You can’t do full-disk encryption without the signed driver, and Microsoft is preventing them signing the driver for new releases. So Microsoft is making it impossible for them to publish updates for the Windows versions of their software.

When it does a different crazy thing every time and you have no idea why, it means you’re a genius and have created life.

Microslop, who bundle their OS with a competing encryption product that probably has government backdoors, “accidentally” shutting out open source encryption software. Nothing to see here. Perfectly legitimate business behavior.

On the face of it, this is a much more intelligible and credible account of what’s going on than anything the USA is putting out.

“Like every tech company, we’re really excited about the velocity increases from AI, and so we have a lot of internal prototypes that are up and running, and extensions is one of them,” Varma said. “But a lot of things we’re staring includes questions like: Can you customize your homepage? Can you add widgets? Can you change your background in whatever way you want?”

All that and rounded corners? Not sure I can handle this much future.

The whole world can see this and form a view of Donald Trump and the USA. He’s really a textbook case of an American having no clue how they look to everyone else. This isn’t the look of a strong leader who’s in control, and taunting your enemy by making fun of their religion will not win you any sympathy or any advantage. Trump has never looked so desperate.

The USA encourages young people to do that by keeping them in poverty and ignorance. So it’s kind of voluntary but not exactly freely chosen.

Just 5% said they regret their vote and would vote differently if they could.

The media are forever looking for evidence MAGA is breaking up, but this isn’t it.

It’s possible that the kernel and core components are still robust, having been developed in a time when engineering standards were higher. As far as I know, the kernel is still basically Dave Cutler’s NT kernel, adapted by his team to 64-bit in the early 2000s, and his stuff was always well reputed for stability, though other teams were producing unstable code.

The problems of Windows today always seem to trace back to the early 2010s when Satya Nadella took over and nuked the QA and testing team. That’s borne out by what we learn from the current article series, which describes how those test engineers who weren’t fired were parachuted into roles they often weren’t prepared for. And in Windows this seems to have led to a culture of hasty, undertested patches, shoved out to users and re-patched when users report problems, but not before. Also, again borne out by this article, a managerial culture of pressuring devs to add new features (that users don’t even care about) instead of solidifying what’s already there. You end up with demoralized devs and a teetering tower of technical debt growing ever higher.

If the core of the OS is robust but everything on top of it is flaky, then the user experience is still going to be of an unreliable OS.

Taxing the billionaires could pay for some of those wars you love to do.

Brazil has something similar. Other US states are working on it. And the UK, some EU countries, Australia and others are pushing for the same. This won’t be just California for long: it’s a worldwide push to make it impossible to do anything involving a computer without first disclosing your real identity to the authorities.
