    Powershell (and nushell) is great. The concept of piping and manipulating objects instead of text is so comfortable. Having types is also great.

    Administrating Windows would be a nightmare without it.

    If someone around you looks down on Indian developers, you can remind them that Windows became remotely usable thanks to AI… That is, “Actually Indians.”

    Is that statement supposed to help Indians?

      I think it’s playing on the joke that many ai companies will just lie about the ai and contract the work to actual Indians

    Let’s savor this one more time: Bill Gates walked into the meeting “riding high” because he acquired patents for malaria treatments. Reality beats satire every time.

      That sounds really evil, esp. if you already have low expectations and it’s not like I’m going to defend ol’Bill, but…

      Do we know what he used the patents for?

      Acquiring patent sounds like you want to use it as a gold mine by manufacturing the product for “best” price, which is pretty heinous, especially when it’s in conflict with saving lives. But in principle it could be the opposite. One could, entirely for altruistic reasons acquire a patent from someone with the intent to make the cure more affordable.

      I mean, I don’t like Bill but let’s be honest, he’s no RFK Jr.
