No this was all Red Hat. IBM would never let consultants use something convenient like GitHub, they would be forced to use some crappy internal webapp powered by watson.
I've never had a problem with loudness, in fact I only use them around 50% volume even walking outside next to a busy road. But I agree the audio quality is about the same as a phone speaker.
That's funny because iMessage search works quite well if you can find it buried in the interface. I have a feeling Apple themselves forgot it exists and hasn't gotten around to 'modernizing' it with AI yet.
Picross (which is based on nonograms) is my favorite puzzle game. Side note for anyone who thinks we're close to AGI, try giving an LLM even a simple nonogram to solve.
I find protondb misleading because GTA V is supposedly "Gold" except Online does not work at all because of anti-cheat. Same goes for many other popular multiplayer games.
The story to me implied that machines were created by humans or vice-versa in a chicken-or-the-egg scenario. In that case it would make sense for them to think similarly.
The 2nd quote is when I realized this article was written or assisted by AI. Not that it's a big deal, that's our world now. But it's interesting to notice the subtle 'accent' that gives it away.
If you include commercial offerings Red Hat has offered this for awhile, and many semi-successful startups have tried creating a business model solving this.
Apparently not an equivalent amount of money to the value they feel they’ve provided. And honestly given the communities response, I think they’re probably right. I mean if you think about it there’s no reason someone using Centos for a proper use case wouldn’t be fine moving to Centos Stream, unless they were getting some value out of Centos production-friendly releases. Vendor compatibility and LTS patches and updates take a big team to maintain, someone has to pay for that and I feel like many were just using Centos when really they should be using a supported enterprise distro.
As much as I dislike publishers gatekeeping what gets read, It's a big ask to commit several hours to a self-published book. This is one thing I like about Japanese light novels, I can look up the release calendar and pick out a few that look interesting. They are a relatively quick read and only around $7 (about half that if you live in Japan).
I’d bet tipping inflation has a lot to do with that. Delivery can often times come out cheaper with the apps suggested tip than dining in with 20-25% being expected.
It’s also healthy to get backlash from the public and investors for layoffs. Personally I don’t think it’s ever right to layoff employees for leaderships mistakes. It should be used as a last resort only when the entire company is at risk of going under. Based on their post it doesn’t sound like that’s the case, they even bragged about a “positive earnings report”.
Still better than any other species we know of and nature itself. Nature doesn't mind the Earth turning into a frozen wasteland, it's done it before. And it certainly doesn't care that we're rearranging some of its star stuff to power our cars.
If you built a complex series of gears that took input, revolved through different sets of millions of gears, and produced meaningful output, I would consider that a form of intelligence.
That’s not really exclusive to remote work. I’ve had office jobs where I was extremely effective at not working. At the end of the day underperforming workers will find ways to underperform no matter where they work. Also, depending on the employees home life, there could be much more non-productive distractions in office.
Interesting, it looks like based on internet archives that was quietly published shortly after the Centos announcements in 2021. Considering this was a reactionary step it doesn’t give me much faith that they’d react any differently from Red Hat if they were losing SLES customers to another corporations fork.
I'd like to point out that SUSE has never made their source code as available as Red Hat, even after the changes that caused all the drama. The only way to get SLES source code is to sign up for a 90-day evaluation or request it by mail, whereas signing up for a free Red Hat account gives you full access indefinitely. Yet they accuse Red Hat of hurting the open source community by...operating the same way they've always done? It's frankly embarrassing how easy the tech communities been misled with these marketing campaigns. If IBM wasn't such an easy target, people might see this for what it is- a bad faith attempt to clone an open source project and siphon the sponsors customers with their own support contracts.
Oracle has also publicly continued to commit to keeping “…the binaries and source code for that distribution publicly and freely available”. At this point their distribution has been around for 17 years, and they’ve never tried to restrict access to their source code in that time.
I’ll be impressed when they open source Oracle DB and let Microsoft fork it and sell support for it. It’s pretty easy to commit to “open source” a copy of RHEL. Especially when linux isn’t core to their business but a bait and switch to get their customers on Oracle’s platform.
Witcher 3 is 8 years old and considered an old persons game. I learned that the hard way when I tried talking to my nephew about video games.
In all seriousness, most of your examples I would consider part of the previous era of gaming, which ended with Fortnite’s explosion. Hyper realistic games will continue to be developed of course, but the overall industry trend is moving towards mobile-friendly graphics, which presents its own set of technical challenges.
This is like the tech communities version of the Ellen drama. Ellen is far from the worst person in Hollywood and Red Hat is far from the worst ISV, but because they’ve built their image on being the “good guy” anything they do contrary to that elicits a strong emotional reaction.
Not sure who you were talking to but Red Hat support doesn't use tiers, cases go directly to SMEs on the feature and from there the only escalation point is the actual engineers working on the lines of code affected.
What makes you think a company with 89 employees that just clones Red Hat's source code would be faster than Red Hat with 19,000?
What benefits exactly? Touch screens were not well regarded pre-iPhone, I remember a lot of people not wanting to ditch their keypads. And there was no app store at first so it was just a phone with music which many could already do.
Giving individuals the power to be their own banks is not useless. Unpractical maybe, but not useless.
Yes, that’s already the case in some parts of the country with vacant homeless shelters, except they’re not even $1.
Not every issue/question/complaint is an immediate blocker. Status meetings are great to queue topics or issues that do not need to be immediately addressed but if left ignored too long could snowball into a more serious thing.
Ironically the only people who can hope to be forever employed are the execs running the ship into the ground.
If a mistake I made resulted in thousands of people losing their jobs who wouldn’t consider it? At the very least I wouldn’t lie about “taking responsibility” if I had no intention.
Taking responsibility would be putting himself on the chopping block. I don't blame him for not doing so, but that's what that word means to me.
They mentioned it indirectly-
"seemingly every tech company of a certain size has its own distribution and/or hosted offering to cater to enterprises"
