I stopped playing Minecraft years ago, just before endermen were added. I recently had a go at it 6 months ago, and I couldn't get into it. In my mind Minecraft lost its charm of brutal simplicity since MS took over. The spells, the huge diversity of new items its just lost on me.
But I like the way these FOSS clones look, maybe I'll give it a shot later.
Also, screw MS. I purchased Minecraft 4 times for friends to borrow, I don't want an MS account tied to each one, nor do I have time for that hassel.
Honestly the Windows UI is kinda annoying, and it did effect my performance until I recently ditched it for linux w/ i3 as the WM... I want something straightforward and to the point. The windows UI peaked at XP, everything else has been inferior.
This is the umpteenth article I've seen on HN about the topic. It's getting repetitive. Maybe they are using ChatGTP for these articles!
Seriously tho, I'll believe it when I see it. The few times I used ChatGTP for code, it was extremely mediocre, unless I held its hand though every block of code. So what it boils down to, natural language has become a "programming language". Untill we get general purpose AI that can understand requirements/limitations, read AND write code, make sensible tests, anticipate security threats, maintain code and present results to stakeholders all on consumer HW, "coders" aren't going anywhere.
Edit:
After reading the article, the first few paragraphs of which are basically an advert for OpenAI, the Author seems to push an image of the "arrogant" unable to see the potential of AI. This just some weird marketing material aimed at execs looking to bolster future software resources.
In short, how good is ChatGTP at chess? A well structured, yet very complex game. Good, but not great, and I feel we will see the same with Code
Many people here are pointing out "Why would Microsoft do this to their customer base?"
Well it's because they can, and people are not going to do anything about it. Most people don't know about or cant reinstall the OS. So the publics real decision is between an expensive MacBook, or well Windows. To make things worse most people are so used to ads, tracking and other bullshit, this is just par for the course... white noise.
If you really want a change, your going to have to get the major OEMs to start distributing Linux on mass, but you bet that if that ever took off there would be trackers on their distros in a heartbeat.
It gets displayed right after logging in, either directly through `login` or indirectly through something like SSH.
If you're using a desktop environment that's likely the reason: the message is hidden by your DE, and starting a terminal emulator does not cause a login.
You might be able to see it by switching off your DE and logging in manually through the virtual console.
You won't see it on a graphical session. If you ssh into a server (or remotely onto your pc) it will get printed. Or switch to another vitual terminal (Ctrl + Alt + F8) and log in, and it should print whatever is in /etc/motd
Oil and gas use pipe "pigs" which date back to pulling a bale of hay tied to a wire through the pipe to clean things out. Apparently they made a squeeling sound and the name Pipe Pig stuck. More details on modern pigging: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigging
One of the most memorable company names I have ever heard, memorable enough that 30 years later, I still remember that their phone number is 1-800-HOT-HOGS is the New Pig Corporation. I occasionally see their products on city streets.
They make oil-spill containment barriers and cleanup equipment and until your comment, I had no idea where the name came from. Now I wonder if there's a connection...
Second most memorable, at least the phone number, is 1-800-ROBOHAND (robot end effectors). I think they are now a part of Schunk Corp.
I did find it strange that in most of the footage the pipes seemed to be tightly sealed with screws, adhesive, and in some cases what looked to be foam. It makes me wonder if there was some sort of vacuum required for this demo.
And? The developers of Haskell owe us nothing. I don't see the point of your complaint. If the tool doesn't fit the bill, don't use it.
IMO Haskell is more of a dream project of having a highly optimizable and flexible complier. Its fun to write, great when it works (well), but it's not the workhorse of C and Python.
> It's not OK to be like "HN I had a bad experience...
That is rather aggressive?? Maybe thry live in another time zone and are asleep, or have other obligations like school pickup. Given them at least 24 hours to respond. sheesh...
Ok, but it's reasonable to suspect other users might also have had their accounts banned if it had been a systematic outage or ML hiccup, and given there's a 24hr limit to that ban becoming permanent, it's reasonable to expect an update soon as possible, even if that update is just a one-line "our status is X but we still don't know why this happened to us".
What? no. On the flip side what if their company is convulsing at the possibility of being offline for a few days due to the issue, updating a HN post would be their lowest priority untill they find a solution. Give them a break, OP owes us nothing.
Noone said it was their highest priority. But given that HN has a daily stream of horror-stories/complaints from SaaS/cloud/payment users, it would be unreasonable to expect us to wade through them if we don't at some point get a brief follow-up saying what the outcome (and possibly the root-cause) were, and in what timeframe, and how to avoid/fix this for other users, or else which alternative companies to use.
And to requote the OP back to you like I did above, given that customer support told them there's a 24hr limit to that ban becoming permanent and tried to help them get it resolved before then, in this case it was in fact entirely reasonable to expect at least a one-line update within (in this specific case) a day, since either way the outcome would be known.
