There was a tombstone of Gates during hackers in progress (hip97) iirc. Shows you how much he and windows was loved. Today’s microsoft is forced to play nice.
github just removed git: urls from their web ui so it no longer tells you how to make a clone you can push from using standard git
it's been replaced with instructions for using their own gh cli tool (which, however, is also free software)
for example on any github project page, https://github.com/username/projectname, click on the "code ↓" button in the top right; the "local" tab on the left has a "clone" tab with 'https' and 'github cli' subtabs. the git@github.com: url you can use with standard git has been removed
i think this is a change within the last month
embrace, extend, and extinguish is alive and well

#44I don't like it when people focus on grammar too much but "I am worry..."?
It’s a Silicon Valley pro-tip: spelling and grammatical mistakes are signs that you’re super busy or too rich to care. There’s a few famous VCs that are apparently too busy to ever capitalize a letter... Too busy to shift!
Or maybe they write on an iphone. I had to turn auto capitalization off because it would capitalize emoticons after a full stop: turning xD into Xd

You have to be logged into github for the SSH clone tab to appear-- if they don't know your pubkey you can't connect using the SSH protocol.
Git can push over HTTPS, too.

#46> Virtual worlds could be such a thing Haha, Metaverse talk while Zuckerberg was in preschool
Oh man, VR and metaverse-style concepts were big in the 90s even if the technology obviously wasn't quite there yet. Active Worlds predated Second Life by several years and surprisingly enough is still online to this day.
That is fascinating and deserves its own HN thread.

#47> New things are NEVER a threat to the old world as soon as people say. Look at the mainframe vs PC. It has taken us TWO DECADES and even after all that IBM still has billions in mainframe revenue. Cool new technology always expands rapidly into NEW areas (where there is a vacuum). Pundits always say that this is going to kill the old businesses - eventually that happens but not anywhere near as soon as they say.
This has been my gut feeling about the new AI technologies we've seen recently. We'll see what happens
Amara's Law: "We overestimate the impact of a technology in the short term. We under estimate its impact in the long term."

I recall watching on TV a VR demo with sensor gloves connected to a Mac where the demonstrator would grab and manipulate objects in 3D. That was in the mid-80s.

I don't think this is true
