10,000 employees for what? I never thought of Block to be that big.
If Elon came in, he would probably fire 80% meaning 8000. Like he did with Twitter/X and Twitter ran fine this whole time.
It's nice that the laid off employees are treated better than many other places. Everywhere I worked, laid off employees were instantly cut off from all access. I would say my goodbyes to them later through LinkedIn.
The developer is supposed to check and verify the code that an LLM creates. Ask for smaller requests in the prompts so you don't get too much code.
Unit tests are verified and run by the developer. I don't know what he means by an LLM runs all the tests and gives green. It can fake running tests. I always the tests myself, whether they were created by an LLM or not.
Microsoft is huge and produces a ton of software. The bigger the surface area and the bigger is their popularity and number of consumers, the more the breaches. It's not like there's a breach every day. They're being good a patching their software and we have Patch Tuesdays where often they often patch zero day holes.
What are the evidence that it's fading away? The questions and the answers here do not mention why people think it's fading away.
I still get answers when I post a question. Do you mean the number of questions in general? Who cares? All I care about are my questions getting answers.
I don't know why this is always in the news. %4.45 is still very small.
Linux came out 34 years ago. That's an ion in computer years.
Linux desktop is in too many flavors. MacOS is one MacOS. whatever the latest. Windows 11 is Windows 11. Not many flavors of it.
I feel like Linux people are cheering for a tiny number. They'll take whatever desktop market share they can. 10 years from now maybe it will be 6%. Well... big f*king hurray! Open the champagne bottles!
I used to sell copies of pirated games on tapes and 5.25" floppies for the C64 in the 80's in a third world country. Made some good money as a teenager. I predate most people here. It was very hard to get these games in the country. Used snail mail which took weeks. I remember Hotline, Fairlight and many other cracking groups. Trainers at the beginning of the games were cool. Also remember the Freezeframe and Expert cartridges that freeze a games and enable you to save it.
I think some users want all the features and everything for free.
Evernote works well for me. It fully syncs all my notes between 2 devices. Those are my home and work computers. That's good enough for me.
If I want to look at a note on a mobile device, I use a browser in desktop mode. However I only had to do this a handful of times in all the years they went down to 2 device syncing.
I just have to deal sometimes with an offer to upgrade. So I close the popup. No big deal.
