I think it's important to mention that when using Neovim as an IDE the secret sauce is LSP. Search in Google or YouTube Neovim as an IDE for some help setting everything up


Black mirror continues to predict the future, like this 2013 episode https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Be_Right_Back


Alright so the claim is that "hackers" are constantly scanning the internet in search for vulnerable systems and a few minutes is enough for the "hackers" to find it and infect it. There are more than 4.3 billion IPv4 addresses, assuming a probe takes like 10 seconds to identity the IP, it would take more than 1000 years to scan all of the internet. Even if you use a distributed botnet it would be like finding a needle in a haystack. Ok let's ignore that and assume they found the XP machine. Typical viruses and Trojans require the user to download and execute an infected file but this assumes unattended infection. Not saying it's impossible, as there are exploits that can open a back door but dedicating so much time and effort to hack an old machine that is not a high profile target seems unlikely.


It seems that senior management in these companies you are talking about are following Royce du Pont's advice.


I had to double check the reference just to make sure you were in fact talking about business luminary Royce du Pont. His negotiation tactics are second to none.


I see a lot of comments here focused on their individual experiences and opinions, which is fine. But on those comments I see a lot of people saying they won't have kids. Which individually is their choice, but collectively, combined with people who do have kids have them older which can lead to fertility issues when they want to have them, combined with the increase in the number of people who is LGBTQ+ which again it's their choice and nothing wrong with that individually, but as a species we can see how these factors combined, and other factors, are the cause of drop in number of children born in all countries. I recently read that in Japan there are more adult diapers sold than baby diapers because of drop in births and increase of aging population. This seems to be driving us to extinction as a species, just food for thought.


> are the cause of drop in number of children born in all countries.

Yes.

> This seems to be driving us to extinction as a species

No.

There are more people alive now than there ever has been. Ever.

This will continue until at least 2100 when numbers may finally peak and then fall.

When human populations numbers fall there is no sane reason to think that they will plummet to zero.

It is far more likely numbers will decrease to the mid 10 billions and more or less stabilise.


> This will continue until at least 2100 when numbers may finally peak and then fall.

That's due to the higher fertility rate of countries like Niger, Angola etc which far outpace the declining rates of most of the rest of the world like China, Russia, Europe, Japan, South Corea, USA, etc.


After reading the comments I understand this MUST mean people in Niger, Angola, etc. are more financially ready to have kids than people in Europe, Japan, USA, South Corea, etc.


>the increase in the number of people who is LGBTQ+ which again it's their choice

Choice?


This is an infomercial. We don't need our id to be held captive in a private company, we need decentralized self-sovereign identity.


I didn't know about this novel, Manna, it is 21 years old and more relevant today than ever (I'm on chapter 4).


Could a Rogue Billionaire Make a Rogue AGI/ASI?


There are better options anyway like the Lenovo Legion Go


May he be planning to escape the riots of most of the population who lost their job to AI agents and robots (in the following 5 to 10 years)?
