Unpopular opinion: Git is better than Mercurial and people just make a big fuss when you refuse to play with their toys!

When you see the behemots of US tech coming together you can be sure it isn’t for anything good! These assholes are supporting and enabling the orange clown (a suspected pedophile) and they want us to believe that they suddenly care about the children.

You introduce overhead on both read and write without being a better solution to OPs problem.

A bit dissapointed by this. You have to create an account, get a license, deploy it and then you get a fucking download manager just for linux and windows to download who knows what that should run on qemu. Why not just give a link to a qemu image with a script that runs it?

Not a problem at all. I’m not sure why you feel the need to focus on all the un-interesting parts. The interesting parts are what he said and weather or not those are true. Not sure why is more important who said what, rather than what was said especially if this doesn’t add much to the original discussion… it just misdirects attention without a clear indication to the motive!

There’s always someone with the buzzkill. Do you think is really that hard, for those who care, yo find all these sad facts? FFS man, let us celebrate the good a little bit. In this world is really not that hard to find the bad!

I don’t think comparing Apple to Steam, is an apples to apples comparison. AFAIK Steam doesn’t ask for exclusivity if you publish on its platform. So it is up to the customer to choose how it publishes its products.

> Sora is like 80% there, I think we would be 90% there in 2 years time with 5-10x more GPGPU power training.

Don’t underestimate the last 20%! I don’t think this is just a matter of more training or more data. But yeah, 2-5 more years will not change the outcome you’re describing!

The social dynamic of a corporation is not that different from a high school. People evolve rapidly intelectually but not that much emotionally.

Full of critics in here. I’m not sure what service these “analysts” think they’re providing but it is so annoying to read these pompous critiques: dude I’m happy I’ll choose one as my wallpaper and dream that I’m special because I found this special photo from a special artist that decided to give his work away for us to enjoy? Wtf are these people rambling about! Enjoy the gift, or not, but please stfu… people aren’t looking for a review to a freebie.

I love this kind of naivitee! This is the magic stuff that either takes one to greatness or just a step further into nowhere, but it’s the most fun way IMHO to approach things. Go on OP, write a beautiful story for all of us!

This comment should be first comment. Instead, I had to endure the HN intelligentsia writing non-sense with the specific arrogance of know-it-alls!

Point of life: you didn’t choose to be here but since you are, make something out of it. What is the pleasure or the meaning of just wasting it away?

New comment by eeeficus in "Exit interviews are a trap"

eeeficus — Mon, 04 Apr 2022 18:17:39 +0000

I agree with the article. If you leave, feedback is not worth it. I always gave honest feedback at exit interviews and felt like shit for a while afterwards. And I don’t understand why companies are doing this, honestly. Take feedback from your employees and really listen! What is the gain to ask for feedback to someone leaving the company? Is it more honest? Then you have a cultural problem because it means your employees are afraid to give honest feedback.

No, of course not! Let’s throw away perfectly good computers. Yes I know that you can use Linux but I expect that if I’m buying a chromebook, I like the OS as well?
