I get what you’re saying (and saw your other comment) but I didn’t come away from OP’s write up thinking DHH was only a casual racist. So if they were attempting to defend DHH’s racism they did piss poor job. The language used was soft, but the quotes speak for themselves.

I was actually confused for a minute by your big comment, because I couldn’t figure out who you were saying was defending racists.

The article definitely glossed over the racism though. That might be why OP’s language was soft. They were responding to the article’s accusations - which were almost in passing - and in that context the language kind of matches. By pulling that out of the article and making it prominent in their write up, i think OP made it much more clear and couldn’t possibly be doing it to defend DHH.

Yeah this is scary, especially given the number of people who visit.

However, this may be a case where things locked down (in a futile attempt to contain the thieves), as opposed to a fire. This still isn’t great, especially if it was someone who wanted to hurt people, but it’s probably why it happened.

Read the article, the 900% increase is only for the most expensive rooms.

“This immediately impacts Russia because Delhi is now on the phone with Putin in Moscow, and Narendra Modi asks him, ‘Hey, I support you, but could you explain to me the strategy because I have now been hit by 50 per cent tariffs by the United States’,” Mr Rutte said, in the interview published on Sept 25.

Sounds like he was talking about a hypothetical call to me.

Something something false prophets blah blah blah…

Why mark this as NSFW?

It’s marketing making them think they want to own that stuff.

Developers rarely control the tools budget; their managers do.

So this whole article is a moot point

Developers detest marketing. If you want to sell them a tool, make it easy for them to find the information they need and leave them alone to try out your tool.

So marketing does work, just not “traditional” or “mainstream” marketing. We’ve had shareware since the beginning times, which was the ultimate try before you buy. Now we have the subscription model (fbow).

Yeah I’d like to think I’m better than marketing, but really, it just takes the right marketing, and I’m putty in their hands.

Yeah maybe that’s what it was for me, too: a gut feeling that something was off about the videos.

I think I like Astrum, but I feel like some of their videos go over the edge into conspiracy nut territory.

(Anyone else feel like we should recommend putting the channel in the post title, like “[Astrum] I Might Stop Making Videos About NASA”?)

I haven’t been following Atlassian recently and was wondering if you were just tossing that out there… But no, that is literally their plan:

This deal is a bold step forward in reimagining the browser for knowledge work in the AI era,” Mike Cannon-Brookes, Atlassian’s CEO and co-founder, said in a statement.

“Together, we’ll create an AI-powered browser optimized for the many SaaS applications living in tabs – one that knowledge workers will love to use every day,” he added.

import inspect, builtins

def HelloWorld(funcname):
    caller = inspect.currentframe().f_code.co_name
    getattr(builtins, funcname)(caller)

HelloWorld("print")

Yes, that’s what I meant with my “for now” and “for the moment”.

Microsoft has already said it doesn’t matter where your data is stored, it isn’t safe from the United States.

But you can change this behaviour in settings, it’s just the default for now.

So, if you don’t trust Microsoft to handle your documents, but still somehow use MS Word and OneDrive, for the moment you can still stop it from saving your Word documents to their servers.

Yes, but we’re afraid of the consequences. I’m all in myself.

Good thing he didn’t actually say it would be the next Windows doing any of those things. He didn’t even say it would be the OS:

“I think we will see computing become more ambient, more pervasive, continue to span form factors, and certainly become more multi-modal in the arc of time … I think experience diversity is the next space where we will continue to see voice becoming more important. Fundamentally, the concept that your computer can actually look at your screen and is context aware is going to become an important modality for us going forward.”

The important and scarier part is actually the last sentence, not anything from the article title.

Looks like that will be a tough one to find. Have you tried putting up a request on any private trackers?

The highest estimate of people killed in the conflict (both sides) that I can find is around 100. This whole article seems like made up slop.

When I looked into this newspaper I found some comments (on Reddit :-/) saying it is a fake news rag published by a right-wing nationalist group in Thailand.

Same! This is really surprising based on the other stuff I’ve read.

Oh ho! I 󠁤󠁯󠁮󠀧󠁴 see what you did there!
