  They got the punctuation all mixed up. Instead of ‘Windows 10 will be the last ever version! No more major upgrades!’ it was meant to read ‘Windows 10 will be the last ever version? No! More major upgrades!’

  Unfortunate mistake

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨U.S. Tech Layoffs Hit Two-Decade High in October⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe worried about looking personally identifiable. It’s understandable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨U.S. Tech Layoffs Hit Two-Decade High in October⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Which is weird because if you’re actually trying to get shit done, you get much more value out of someone with experience in your ecosystem than someone you’ve just hired, and it’s astonishing how low you an keep those ppls salaries compared to new hires who’re much less effective. Hire+fire is shit for everyone. Except, I guess, idiots who can only think 2 months in either direction.

  Nah actually I’m pretty happy mostly. Although I do get horrible muscle spasms when I’m stressed sometimes

  Huh. Never noticed the MLM parallels of the current AI hype so much before. Literally levenschtein distance of one, should’ve spotted it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Big Short Guy Just Bet $1 Billion That the AI Bubble Pops⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the idea is that, whilst shorting, you get squeezed. The question is not ‘if’ but ‘when’ and if it takes too long and you’re $1B deep you can lose your shirt

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hmm breakfast⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sicilian ice cream sandwiches are a real thing and they are basically the best thing that’s ever happened to breakfast cuisine

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hmm breakfast⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Siesta is barely a thing in Italy any more unless you’re like 70+ and rural lol. But a brioche stuffed with ice-cream is the king of breakfasts what are you on about

  Depends if you’re going for most or all of the leaves. If you’re just going for most and you’re not incompetent, rake is easy and which.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beware!!!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a reference to ‘taking the knee’, I think there was a big thing in American football about that.

  ‘sounds like cope’ in an inappropriate context like that makes you sound, I’m afraid, like a tit.

  Everything he’s done in the last 6 months has been trash

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme crushes Apple M4, Intel, and AMD in new benchmarks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I guess, but it’s still annoying to have identically named tools that do the same job but aren’t compatible. Or, like, base64 -d on macos can gobble the last char of output. So then you have to homebrew coreutils or something, but it just means that stuff that you feel should work compatibly out-of-the-box doesn’t, and writing *nix scripts without perl is just a pita.

  I forget what my point here is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme crushes Apple M4, Intel, and AMD in new benchmarks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  As long as you don’t try to use sed or grep. Literally the only reason I learned perl was because of the flag incompatibilities between macos Unix and Linux utils.
