Daemon spawning mmm

Give derry a raise!

Ah the times when you could accidentally buy twice as much RAM.

Isn’t it how all the databases work? Or maybe you should just enable cache for yours.

What makes it garbage? Compared to postgres

What’s the advantage of GPL?

See the state of Linux used and contributed back to by corporations and FreeBSD used but not contributed to by corporations.

There are already multiple non-C languages in the kernel

Such as? Apart from C and Assembly.

That’s actually some very interesting discussion down there.

Did it help?

Do you need a test? They will.

iptables is deprecated for like a decade now, the fact that both still use it might be the source of the problem here.

That’s great news. Will be waiting for it.

You explained it quite well, I just didn’t think you were serious.

Let’s go back to my original question. A company that’s dismantling itself for a quarterly profit. Obviously Microsoft doesn’t fit since they are doing it for many years now and are still going strong even if just on paper like you say.

So according to your analysis when will it be dismantled? Will they go down in 3 months as a punishment for the latest quarterly profit? Maybe a year? 5 years? Will it happen in this century?

Undoubtedly they conceded to Wall St pressure to sacrifice research and engineering funding to goose short-term profits

That’s an interesting statement. So let’s go like 15 years ago. What short-term profits were they pursuing? And how can you call them short-term when those profits lasted for so long?

Microsoft for 8 years now is a company that sells Linux and opensource.

Non of their divisions you mentioned were profitable for many years now(especially Windows), just look at their yearly reports. Only logical to get rid of them. Don’t agree with your Azure statement, don’t mind me, numbers don’t agree with it.

I don’t get why you wrote so much about gaming, Microsoft never was a gaming company. And frankly nothing important for gamers was lost with them buying those empty shells of game developer companies, then shutting them down.

I can agree on the AI hype especially with recent github news. But those are recent, we’ll have to see if that was bad or good decision.

Microsoft is doing pretty well so I wouldn’t call it “dismantling”, it seems to be working for them.

Fair point. Has meant IT companies.

Pretty sure Intel is still alive and their problems are systematic from many years ago when AMD released Bulldozer and Intel decided it can stop innovating. So don’t think they fit here.

Microsoft nowadays is one of the evil companies. Microsoft back in the day was the evil company.

Companies are dismantling themselves for one more good quarter

Any example of this?
