Incidentally, I discovered this article while learning what '[sic]' even means.

"The typical editorial usage of sic is to inform the reader that any errors in a quotation did not arise from editorial errors in the transcription, but are intentionally reproduced as they appear in the original source being quoted", from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sic

Feels good, doesn't it, to be among the 1%?

Parent is implying that we're still playing the same game.

Is "game-changing" supposed to imply changing the game to a completely different one? Like, is the metaphor that we were playing soccer, and then we switched to paintball or basketball or something? I always understood it to mean a big change within the same game - like we’re still playing soccer, but because of a goal or a shift, the team that was on defense now has to go on offense...

I’m not much of a YouTuber shill, however, I feel this crowd would enjoy Scott Manley’s video [1] on the subject

This is also known as capability-based access control. It was implemented in Project Midori [1] — Microsoft’s flopped managed microkernel OS

I recently had the pleasure of using XSLT after never having seen it before. I used it to transform a huge 130K line XML manifest with MAPI property metadata into C# source code. It was so simple, readable, and intuitive to use.

I learnt XSLT in university back in the early/mid part of the first decade of this century. I didn't much enjoy it. I've never used it, but all my career I've had to deal with terrible ad hoc templating languages. I recently had total freedom to choose what terrible ad hoc templating language to use, and I chose XSLT. I actually totally liked it: and it seemed to have everything I've needed. In previous jobs, there was always tickets that amounted to "make a fork of the terrible ad hoc templating language and hack it until it does this", but I reckon XSLT could do everything and then some.

> Had they made it open source

That would have necessitated open sourcing Windows

Microsoft eats its own dog food and refers to internal “alpha testers” as customers.

Ah yes, you're right. We should be thanking Apple for restricting user choice...

> I got the impression that the guide didn't know anything about what they were talking about w.r.t internals or how it's used

I got the same impression, and I think it's a fair critique of the video and the presenter. OP simply acknolwedged that unconcious bias may be affecting their judgement, for better or for worse.
