That's just a parallel fact, no one's "acting" like anything?

What were you actually trying to say?

I am saying that people here seem to be appealing to Microsoft as an authority that should be interested in stopping this, perhaps because they are morally superior or concerned about their reputation. They are not.

No, Microsoft should be stopping this because Microsoft is doing it, and it is wrong. HDMI does not, to my knowledge, provide a mechanism for loading code: it's Microsoft software looking the product model up in a Microsoft database, downloading the appropriate malware, and executing it with elevated privileges (bypassing UAC).

No, Microsoft inflicted this upon themselves. They introduced driver vetoing long ago specifically for this purpose (at the cost of certain amount of user freedom), and have established the criteria for it, but barely ever enforce most of these criteria that aren't related to hard OS stability (and sometimes even those that are related), because that might upset the vendors.

> We need a regulatory body that can fine people for making analogies this bad

We need a communal agreement to apply social opprobrium upon people who reflexively propose to solve trivial problems by imposing their will on other people.

Tsk-tsk.

People (like the guy from the article) literally take Uber rides instead of ambulances, so they are a reasonable substitute good in many cases.

i mean their job is transporting people.

kneecaping china by cutting off a huge source of its oil imports. Russia will not be able to make up the difference.

All countries are affected, not just China.

HN is a beautiful lesson on the hard limits of a contrarian's usefulness.

unfamiliar with chess.com but correspondence chess(day/move) and rapid (game 30+0) should fall under two different rating classifications. Having different ratings between them is to be expected.

And while people tend to make __better moves__ in slower time controls, their rapid/blitz ratings are usually higher than standard ratings.

interesting to see in the replies such incredible pearl clutching on behalf of the poor, poor businesses whenever unionization gets brought up. brain folds lighting up like a fireworks show just to combat the idea of [checks scroll] uhh not exploiting workers.

Reframing someone's disagreement as them "struggling with something" is incredibly patronizing and condescending and dirty conversational pool.

No it's not. It's a validation of the fact that something is so frustrating they are quitting over it.

The idea that it is patronizing or condescending makes zero sense to me. It's a factual description.

Its framing the issue as something that should be fixed by a change in the mentality of Marsf, not by rolling back the changes.

No it's not. Where are you getting that? It's framing that there is an actual struggle, which is the acknowledgement that it's something they can work on resolving. Rolling back changes might be the answer.

I honestly don't understand where you're getting this cynical interpretation from. It's not in the words.

Changing "cube" to "kube" would just look like it's pronounced "koob" (e.g. rube, tube, lube), so we swap a minor spelling aggravation for a minor pronunciation edge case. unless you want to go full kyube but we're not putting that on the table.

Well, it would be a step backward in the right direction to go with spelling it 'kube' and pronouncing it 'koob'. That would hew to the original Greek. We'd also bring cybernetic back closer to kubernetes. And circle to kuklos. (Side note: It's another spelling "error" that we use 'y' in English to transliterate the Greek upsilon, which looks like 'Y' when capitalized, but is really a better match to 'u'. Hence, hyper and hypo instead of huper and hupo (like super and sub).)

kyube or kyoob would definitely be the way to go.

It's funny you use "tube" as an example though, as in my British accent I pronounce that as "chube", whereas I believe many Americans would use a "t" sound for that word. Not sure how you settle on a spelling in those cases.

Regional variations are available! I think the BBC would have had it pronounced tyoob. And don't Americans pronounce it "subway"?

In the north of England it is still commonly 'tyoob'.

Most Americans sadly never get to ride one anyway.

No but they do eat at them.

Why would it? "u" generally doesn't follow this pattern in English after "k" any more so than it does after "c".

That aside, what you describe is a distinction between yod-dropping and lack thereof, and whether and where it happens is highly dialect dependent.

This is an issue because vowel letters/digraphs are much more inconsistent than consonant letters/digraphs.

I don't know about romanticizing a hard life but I'll definitely get hit with a very strong sense of wanting to escape and leave it all behind.

It hits me every summer like clockwork tbh - leaving a nicely typed 2 minutes notice on my VP's desk and just taking my chances as a traveling beach bum. Akin to wanderlust, I'm filled with the urge to just go off into the unknown.

In my heart of hearts I know I'm a soft city boy though. I wouldn't last a week.

You would adapt rapidly.

I was fired from a city job.

Started hitchiking and living outside. Eventually worked on a fishing boat in the Bering Sea, worked the oil fields in the Dakotas, fought in a civil war in another country, hiked state-long parts of the PCT, hung out with tree-dwelling hippies in the doug-fir forests etc.

I would live that life again in a heartbeat if I didn't have a child to support, which was pretty much the end of my adventures. If you're single you can pretty much work day labor 25% of the year and have plenty enough to live inna-woods. The reason why most 'homeless' people seem so miserable is they are too mentally ill or drug ridden to do some fairly basic things to make their lives living outside 100x better; if you are sober and able bodied and able-minded it is a cakewalk.

You have any write ups? Sounds like quite the interesting life

Kinda but kinda not.

I'd agree that 75% you speak of is generally hostile to the mere concept of PMs, but that's usually from a misapplication of PMs as proxy-bosses for absentee product owners/directors who don't want to talk to nerds - flow interruptions, beancounting perceived as useless, pointless ceremonies, even more pointless(er) meetings etc, and the further defiling of the definition of "agile".

But a deep conceptual product and roadmap understanding that helps one steer Claude Code is invaluable for both devs and PMs, and I don't think most of that 75% would begrudge that quality in a PM
