Can they influence nuclear energy or nuclear weapons by similar methods. I mean multiple seamingly unrelated directorted actions could lead to really bad results.


Have used sudo millions of times. It's so smooth I don't even consider it software. Thinking that sudo could give me bug one day haunts me now. Thanks Miller for your work!


I still think the integration with X11 $DISPLAY could be smoother.


Entire Azure been offloaded to WITCH beware.


I have noticed something along these lines in the GitHub repos. Tons of bugs piling up, issues closed out as "by design" where clearly is was not. Etc.

I honestly get the impression Azure is in decline, particularly around the .Net integrations which is their flagship ecosystem..


I don't necessarily share this impression, but the teams that simply close items after being unable to sufficiently develop a solution, leading to the original issue raiser giving up after realizing that those who are supporting the issues are useless, are not helping with the public's impression of azure.


It's a culture issue. The culture of the teams they are.. Offshoring ownership of these projects to.

A lot goes into company and team culture, but I'm sure a lot here are familiar with the dynamics of outsourced development; offshore or not. Blame seeking, blame shifting, CYA, etc.. "by design"..

It's all on full display in Microsofts Azure GitHub repos.


It's a matter of culture in outsourcing.

I'm a CTO in Mexico and outsource to companies in Mexico (insource modality) and it is evident outsourcing people don't give a danm about the product . Why should they? They get paid by the hour, and if the client goes bust after they are paid, another will bite.

Had brilliant hardware idea 5 years back. It needed minimum 20 million to get off the ground. Myself I had max 1 million and could not find rest without getting into horrible deals.


Governments needs soldiers during World War 3 and not IT staff. There's no shortage in Army recruitment.


Yup. It's slow buggy. Tends to go into infinite loops. Sad really that it slows corporates so much.


Well if BTC got adopted properly it would have been the answer. We are stuck with the system designed ages ago. No doubt it's good for government. Current Fintech can go any peasant go bust. However, normal folks have zero control over their financial security. Your always under radar especially under cashless society umbrella.


Haven't fired enough. By firing more folks problems would be solved. This is why tech companies need to keep experienced folks.


China Will. Their education is mint. Current US education model is too soft and weak. Perfect for war meatballs not enough for space travel.


Finally found aliens!
