Isn't that pretty much the standard tech business plan nowadays? Not to build a sustainably profitable company... but to pull something together that offers the best potential for a quick buyout in the shortest amount of time.

I actually just bought a refurbished 15" M4 MacBook Air (for various reasons), but I'm also hanging on to my Intel-based MacBook Pro since it's running fine. The latter machine currently has a small-ish Linux Mint partition alongside macOS, but I'm thinking of switching it to Linux-only.

Note that, if you do this, you need carefully chose your distro if your Mac has the T2 security chip.

She was doing important but dangerous work with the goal of helping people and improving their lives*, and a lab accident ended up taking hers. Thank you, Ms. Shipilova, for the work you did.

Just what we need... a way to make python even slower.

It's always fun to read about people implementing DOOM on various unlikely devices... however this is not one of those stories. This is just porting DOOM to a different language, but still running on a standard computer. And the heavy lifting is being done with python rather than SQL - so it's not even a new language, in terms of DOOM ports.

It does sound like it was an interesting and likely fun project for the coder(s), in any case.

Why only waste time occasionally when technology will help you waste time constantly?

This is not a joke - some of my coworkers set up a Teams channel specifically for talking about dogs, cats, and babies. I have stayed out of it - like you, if I want human interaction I go visit the front office or generally walk around the building (or, on WFH days, go play fetch with the dogs for a few minutes). Plus, I need to get actual work done and having that channel ping constantly would not help.

And, when I REALLY want to kill time, there's always Slashdot...

But how else are you supposed to get your daily dose of pet news and stories about your co-workers' kids?

When did this allegedly happen? I've been using Teams for quite a few years, but I managed to miss the period when it improved.

I have to use Teams on a daily basis, and I share your opinion regarding the software.

Toblerones are messy enough at current temperatures...

All fifteen are now listed as Founders by Tesla. They're also all Chief Engineers at SpaceX.

Maybe when Thomas Watson said "I think there is a world market for about five computers", back in the 1950s, he was actually being really insightful... but just way ahead of his time.

The fact that this approach is catalytic rather than requiring a binding agent seems positive in terms of longevity and not being directly depleted by repeat exposure; but I'd be curious how durable the material is under real-world conditions(clothing that gets hard wear tends to get hard washes) and also how specific it is. 'Organophosphate' means something moderately specific in the context of chemical warfare; but a lot of fairly prosaic compounds are, technically, 'organophosphates'(like DNA and RNA when held together by phosphodiester bonds); and this would be considerably less helpful in practice if it is busy chewing up the genomes of random soil bacteria; and markedly less helpful in practice if there's a "do not perturb the nanites in your clothing if you want them to not migrate into your cells and start mitigating the harmful effects of your DNA" user notice on the treated article.
