<p>The model seems to have some problems; it just failed to create a markdown table with just 4 rows. The top (title) row had 2 columns, yet in 2 of the 3 data rows, Opus 4.6 tried to add a 3rd column. I had to tell it more than once to get it fixed...<p>This never happened with Opus 4.5 despite a lot of usage.</p>

<p>It's the other way round, at least some, if not all, of these screens were in KDE before they were released in Windows.
In general, KDE tends to be widely copied. Even macOS has borrowed a lot from KDE.<p>It has been over 10 years since I stopped being a KDE fanboy and became just a regular fan, but I remember that during my flame-war era, many features from KDE would often appear in Mac OS and Windows and their most popular applications (such as iTunes).<p>These days I don't care so much, I use KDE and I'm too old to switch.</p>

<p>I would argue it's the other way round. :)<p>Even GIMP, the one GTK app I would never expect to be surpassed by a KDE app, is being outdone by Krita these days.</p>

<p>To be fair, once your data has been stolen, it doesn't make sense to engage with the hackers. There is no way to guarantee that the stolen data won't be used.<p>What you must do immediately is notify the affected customers, bring down or lock the affected services, and contact the authorities.</p>

<p>Nginx (and Apache, etc) is not just a web server; it is also a reverse proxy, a TLS termination proxy, a load balancer, etc.<p>The key service here is "TLS termination proxy", so being able to issue certificates automatically was pretty high on the wish list.</p>

<p>The magic of bisect is that you rule out half of your remaining commits every time you run it. So even if you have 1000 commits, it takes at most 10 runs. An n-bisect wouldn't be that much faster, it could be slower because you will not always be able to rule out half your commits.</p>

<p>Most probably, said ops folks have quite a few war stories to share about logs.<p>Maybe a JVM-based app went haywire, producing 500GB of logs within 15 minutes, filling the disk, and breaking a critical system because no one anticipated that a disk could go from 75% free to 0% free in 15 minutes.<p>Maybe another JVM-based app went haywire inside a managed Kubernetes service, producing 4 terabytes of logs, and the company's Google Cloud monthly usage went from $5,000 to $15,000 because storing bytes is supposed to be cheap when they are bytes and not when they are terabytes.<p>I completely agree that logs are useful, but developers often do not consider what to log and when.
Check your company's cloud costs. I bet you the cost of keeping logs is at least 10%, maybe closer to 25% of the total cost.</p>

<p>Haha, indeed! I was pretty frustrated with configuring WAMP, though. Once I started spending more time on Linux and noticed that Linux was using the slash instead of the backslash for directories and all other OS differences, suddenly, the WAMP configuration made a lot of sense and became one more reason to switch permanently to Linux.</p>

<p>Kate was one of the main reasons I switched to Linux in 2004/2005.<p>I had a lab in MySQL, and back then, the only option to develop in Windows was MySQL Workbench, which was as heavy as it got. Running an SQL statement was painfully slow, and iteration cycles were huge.<p>In Linux, you would write your SQL in Kate, and run MySQL's cli in the embedded terminal. Once ready, you would click the button “pipe to terminal". Instant run. What took many minutes in Windows took less than 2 seconds in Linux. How can you not love this?<p>Another reason was Amarok, an (the) mp3 player. Do you like how Spotify and other providers create automatically infinite playlists, radios, etc based on your tastes? Yes, KDE had this since 2002 I think? It was first copied by iTunes, then by Spotify, and now is considered a standard function. :)</p>

<p>It can be both at the same time. By buying out your stock, you alter the company's assets, but the price of the stock remains the same since you still have the same number of stocks issued. You just replaced your money assets with stock assets.<p>Once you cancel the stocks you bought back, the rest of the shares will hold a more significant percentage of the company and increase in value.<p>But this is one part of the equation. The other part is that your stock is inside a market, and buyers and sellers combined determine its price. If you keep buying your stock, you create buying pressure, helping keep the price from falling.</p>

<p>I run my household on 4G too. I live at the center of the town. My ”realistic” speeds with a CAT4 LTE router are 4-34mbps. My guess for this range, is that other people are using the network too, so I cannot get the max bandwidth all the time.
I also own a CAT6 LTE router (serving currently another house), which doubles the bandwidth, so around 8-68mpbs, quite better. With a 5G router I expect quadruple speeds, so around 32-270mbps.<p>Now we finally reach a usable area, where I can zoom or netflix anytime during the day. :)</p>
