Even the original author Ryo's rambling post on X [1] conflates the personal web (personal blogs), window manager UX, AI-generated code, commercial / enterprise software, testing, and boutique or hobby apps, concluding with a plea for a "path forward" that is already available today, while painting everything with the same brush.

Even back in the 1990's real software (e.g., I used VxWorks every day) was built for consistency, functionality, and repeatability, with strong QA, and the thing was expected to work.

You can find the recording on YT [2] They were really unique - blending traditional Indonesian instruments, intense guitar work and classical influences.

There are widely used schemes (OAuth+OIDC+... etc.) that the industry is already using. The last two paragraphs are fluff. Not sure who this article is is meant for, but it's sloppy.

Specifically, sec 4.4:

4.4 You understand and agree that, unless proven otherwise, by uploading, publishing, or transmitting content using the services of this product, you irrevocably grant DeepSeek and its affiliates a non-exclusive, geographically unlimited, perpetual, royalty-free license to use (including but not limited to storing, using, copying, revising, editing, publishing, displaying, translating, distributing the aforesaid content or creating derivative works, for both commercial and non-commercial use) and to sublicense to third parties. You also grant the right to collect evidence and initiate litigation on their own behalf against third-party infringement.

Does this mean what I think it means, as a layperson? All your content can be used by them for all eternity?

Some characters have similarities. The Brahmi 𑀕 may be related to the 𐤂 character in the tablet. Other characters like the "tha" (the O with a dot in the middle), the (, the O, the ) and some others also appear to have common traits.

I remember hearing about them in their early days when they were called "ZZKKO" like yet another of those random sounding shopfronts flooding amazon and peddling junk. Their mobile app looks and works pretty much the same as the other Chinese owned marketplaces like Lazada or Shopee.

Their founder appears to be following a similar trajectory too, moving from China to Singapore with a permanent residency, like the founder of Shopee. I think the Shopee founder is now a Singapore citizen. Not that there's anything wrong, this seems to be a common pattern on the Silk Road these days.

It looks like the Go community officially has no plans to support FIPS140-2 any time, so I'm glad to see this alternative.

“There is something to be learned from that faster-twitch, shorter wavelength execution,” he said.

Raghavan urged employees to “meet this moment” and “act with urgency based on market conditions.”

After that he goes to praise the teams working 120 hours a week, that's basically 17 hours a day.

Early in my career I'd have been angry, surprised or in denial at hearing this sort of rancid garbage. Now I see this in so many organizations, this is just a symptom of the deeper rot and top-down dysfunction.

This has nothing to do with user experience, it's all about risk management. If we need some software on our Mac, we need to sign a waiver accepting responsibility for any security issues. With the corporate issued windows laptops the IT department is responsible for risks.

In my wildly biased opinion, companies like Hindenburg are leeches that contribute nothing to the world.

While there may be some elements of truth behind their reports, I'd take it with a large helping of salt, given the main objective of this company.

[Mine is an M2 16-inch MBP from last year, perhaps the M3's are somewhat better?]

In comparison, my new Dell work laptop with an Intel chip gives me about 4 hours. It's not an apples <-> apples comparison but they're in the ballpark.

Canva's business model revolves around cloud based services, and subscription licensing, and I don't see how Canva will keep both pricing models available in the long term. The linked "pledge" is just a canned public relations soundbite during this merger process, until six months later when they pull the plug and mandate subscriptions.

Call me cynical, but I've seen this happen time and again. Parallels is another product I'd been using for ages until they switched to subscriptions.

As to the second point - the Bible is older than Buddhism? What now?!? I'm surely in a different universe.
