Using google is now like using ChatGPT, FYI.

I know, but that’s not what I remember, so I’m asking if other people remember it differently as well.

I’m glad I’m not the only one. Probably too early to say it’s a Mandela effect, but that thought crossed my mind as well.

Sounds like an average day trying to run something on Linux.

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.

I lol’d. But then I realized Vance is perfectly happy with the current course, and got sad.

Yeah, as I said… Stupid. But there’s backstory with the folks I’m not getting into lol

3 days. At the end of university I had no money because I stupidly spent it all on booze. I was too proud (and stupid) to ask my parents for anything so it wasn’t until I got on the plane to go to my girlfriend’s that I got food. An airplane meal never tasted so good!

Teams wasn’t specifically built for remote work though. It was built for internal chat/messaging, document sharing, planning, etc. It is 100% used internally at MS even when people aren’t working remotely.

I know because people at MS have been complaining about it since a few years before the pandemic.

There might be a mission in one of the Gears of Wars like this. It sounds vaguely familiar.

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.

I use Voyager and it supports tagging.

Blocking is tempting when someone actively ignores arguments but keeps coming back with the same thing over and over, or can’t avoid ad hominem attacks.

That said, my block list is empty, but I have tagged people so I know if I’m running into them again.

I feel attacked

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 builtins

def HelloWorld(funcname):  
    getattr(builtins, funcname)("HelloWorld")

HelloWorld("print")

Edit, improved:

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.
