This ones not too bad, it’s not strictly a smiley though. https://www.codeoftheancients.com/glyphlibrary/glyph/U406
When you look under ‘happy’ they mostly seem to link to concepts of ripening, harvest, blooming and sweet things.

Seems like they also could spell it out sometimes with multiple characters, which sort of surprises me.
yeah, wine’s trajectory is the complete opposite of MS.
I reject the idea that MS is the expert in MS stuff. corporate structure and institutional knowledge and strategy are not the same as a person knowing something. I’m sure there are people in MS who know more than anyone. but together I suspect they’re far far less than the sum of their parts.
I remember trying to open word-97 .doc files in office 2002.
Surely MS knows how to read it’s own file format? Nope, well, not as well as star/sun/open/libreoffice (whichever one it was at the time).
I’m sure someone in MS was saying “lets do a bit more work on backwards compatibility”; I’m pretty sure that person was immediately tied to the desk with a giant annoying ribbon and forced to become familiar with a whole box of paperclip suppositories.
Oh hang on, that was decades ago, they’ve grown so much since then .
Only if revenue goes down.
Sacking testers makes nothing but sense if your customers are as dumb as us. My employer continues to sign contracts before the functions we need have been proven. income independent of functionality.
TBF our procurement people don’t seem to think our requirements are any more complex than “big computer” and MS probably offered “really big really good computer, cheap computer, big , nice price, 25% less than oracle, high security, safe computer, cloud, ai, yes fully working with 12 month, you pay now, special discount, extra 10% off if you sign today, hurry rush best deal”.
I suspect negotiations like that drive a disappointingly large amounts of their revenue.
OK for timekeeping but I’d say that’s mostly for human scale stuff and as you say involves dumb stuff like leap seconds every handful of years, and presumably the Earth’s spin and orbits will change more radically eventually - i guess we’re just expecting humans to die out before it becomes too much more of a problem.
But thinking about measuring for science - irrespective of human geocentrism?
Should scientific measures all be built up from planck units or something?
Genuine question, do you think seconds are sensibly defined either in SI or otherwise?
Glad to see all these supposedly smart people are just as fucking stupid as normals. Still it’s a weird kind of nightmare - i remember being a student when the libraries closed early on Sundays . It was so unbearably awful that I was compelled to go to the pub and play pool - and condemned to a future life of poverty and shame.
I dunno, personally I’d rather know about this type of stuff - before this I’d have thought about buying or recommending it - it seems decent enough.
Although, I doubt I’d ever have bought one at those prices so maybe irrelevant. But this will be enough that even if i do win the premium bonds, I won’t get one and I won’t recommend anyone else. Some shit does continue to stink.
Any twat who thinks they are “building a wide tent” by tolerating nazis is pretty much a self defeating prophecy, or just a nazi trying to hide it.
I’d just rather the title was clearer - I have no idea what an ‘omarchy/dhh/hyprland’ is, and I don’t see how those words help the headline at all. Though anything with “hh” is immediately suspect - so that gives a cryptic hints what the title might be insinuating. I think title should just say for ‘promoting nazi stuff’. If anyone cares about the details of these obscure projects then they can read more of the article.
Do people feel they have to be crypto-antifascist now? That’s a bit of a scary turn of events.
Well done! These numbers have been thoroughly banged.
I suggest you apply for a job in . . . politics.
Thank god! Here was i accepting all the negativity about ai being a waste of resources.

Presumptuous, smug, know it all, clickbait titles still didn’t die?
Fuck me, if I were in America and had to read toss like that, I’d probably think the population of ‘scientific’ americans contains a larger than normal proportion of cunts.
Agreed, It’d be interesting to see the cost breakdowns.
I guess you have to spend more on tracks to get higher speeds, but still to get to 600kph you must put a lot of electricity into that thing.
If sort of feels like maglev should be able recover a decent amount of electricity during braking, but maybe there are practical constraints - or just too much loss to wind resistance.
Maybe it comes down to just a handful of magnets round a few axles being cheaper than a long line of magnets the length of the track.
i like the use of “derailed” instead of “never got off the ground” in the headline.
I assume they have MS dev accounts to help with stuff like building compatibility with microdick file formats.
do they account for the circumstances?
most public wifi login pages get: u: [email protected] p: qwerty
from me.
I assume those types of services get breached all the time and no one cares. I think they just want plausible deniability on acceptable use of the wifi.
