Nutanix was once super cheap compared to a VMware deployment, they have eroded much of that discount. If they cost 90% as much, it's a VERY hard sell.

Proxmox is unfortunately extremely immature.

For very large deployments, there's options (aka OpenStack - which we've deployed at most Wireless Telecoms now) but for a lot of modest sized companies, there's just limited options unless its very Microsoft shop (where HyperV+SCVMM is fine.)

I don't deal with any of these people, but the people I do deal with said that apparently Dye and his co-horts are not well liked. Different from the love hate relationship that people had with people like Jobs/Ives/etc.

Everyone I know who's very knowledgeable at Microsoft works on core Azure OR they are research fellows. Everyone else left.

BUUUUUT as a side note, who's using Zig? Uber and TigerBeetle - the latter is interesting, but does anyone actually have "live" products with it? (I read this HN thread about it but it sounds like their big "title" user basically never went live and dropped it.)

Slashdot is basically old techy people and this is a fashion label's product not Apple's.

My wife and me just now:

Me: Look at this iPhone sock thing.
My wife's words after I showed her: Is it available in pink
Me: Yes
Wife: Sugoi! Interesting.

She then proceeded to buy one.

There's zero hidden messages, zero virtue signaling.

It's a bag designed by a designer sold at a profit by a for profit company.

There's similar requirements already on the "TV" side of the business.

Similarly there's taxes on things like DVDs/CDs that go back to local artists (but those systems in some countries like Canada are fundamentally broken.)

It's definitely a trap.

Long term T2DM sufferers developer fairly permanent damage to their pancreatic beta cells which in most cases means they will continue to suffer from every worse T2DM and eventually they will get T1DM and organ failure - mind you the cardiac damage is much worse and has a faster progression so you'll die from that first.

Over the long term, T2DM causes permanent damage to the pancreatic beta cells. That damage does not reverse (except maybe it does in some cases, but probably it takes extreme amounts of time - think decades.)

For those people they will always have issues related to their beta cells.

Additionally, general insulin insensitivity decline can take several years. In some cases there's evidence that dietary ketosis seems to remit the condition for the most part. Its not a silver bullet of course, but its a workable solution for some people who can commit to that lifestyle.

> If you can not explain how the treatment works in non-snake-oil langauge, then STFU.

This will never work out - we don't fully understand how a number of medicines work and many of the ones that have been around for a very long time. Look at paracetamol - it does thing like stops stuffy noses in people with the common cold but we have no clue why or how it does that. (This isn't listed on the Tylenol box in part due to the mystery surrounding stuff like this.)

To fix the bugs introduced by the other guys using AI too much.

I have heard from people working on Metaverse that they have no clue what's going on and it's basically someone who ate an entire tray of green brownies while playing Shadowrun.

Without detailed numbers, I suspect it's economist bullshit.

This isn't about high functioning vs low functioning (which is really all Asperger's was. We realized that there were people who were able to mostly go about normal lives sometimes had the SAME executive function disorder as these people who in some cases are near catatonic - that's all Asperger's Syndrome was, HF autism.

Separate but equally, there actually seems to be different types of autism entirely - even among high functioning ASD people, you can see wildly different effects (some of which is coping and masking of course).

It's really similar to the issues currently with Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetics - there's clearly multiple types of them, but they look similar enough we've grouped them the same.

In most companies, Developers and BAs are the ones using and demanding Macs now.

I mean creatives/marketing/etc already demanded Macs, but that's been the case for decades, my wife refuses to use PCs in any shape or form.

> PowerShell - ugh, probably because of lack of familiarity. It's probably fine.

This echos my assessment even if I'm much more intimately family with it. It's fine, it works for automating stupid shit on Windows servers and can configure the servers 99% of the time, but fuck if it's not a constant moving target and it seems like it was designed by someone with hardcore NIH syndrome.
