More directly, they don't care about the crash, because some of them either can profit from the crash or more generally are incentivized to think they should extract all value right up to the point of crashing and not a second less, because that is leaving money on the table

I see it as an extension of the tragedy of commons, no individual wants to destroy the finite resource, but everyone exploiting it to exhaustion always will

That's just ChromeOS

> Being paid never hurt its adoption at all in the UK. Teenagers like me were perfectly happy to pay 99p to get inter-platform IM.

To offer a counter example, it definitely did in Venezuela, at least in the beginning, where it initially lost dominance to BBM

Back then online payments were not that common, and most cards had weird restrictions on using USD in general

Small screen, lots of system components that should get drawn dynamically, etc

A bit reductionist, but I get it, if it were a priority you could do lots with a hundredth the space

Small screen (iPhone) that could also be a medium screen (iPad) or even a large screen (Macbook), no?

Yes but with Vector based logos, and considereing you don't actually need all sizes for most apps there's a lot of margin there

A 6 inch screen doesn't need an 8K logo and all it's variants

Someone was saying that Apple OSes don't do vector logos.

Which makes total sense, the military has been Chavismo's strongest asset for as long as it's been a thing

That won't change just because Maduro isn't there, whomever does take control, will need external protection, or the US acting as an unspoken enforcer (Unspoken because "No boots on the ground right now" but "prepared for a second wave")

The military clearly moved (or strategically chose to indicate they wouldn't move) for a paranoid, military-aligned dictator to be captured by a small force with only naval backup exactly when everybody most expected the US to move. Unless there's a faction there that actually likes Machado she may even be lower on the next-leader list than "Maduro pays his captors off with the contents of his offshore accounts, meaningful promises of oil money and empty statements about cracking down on narcotics trade". I assume he has ways of finding out who his loyalists are and who they aren't too...

I suspect there is also consideration of strategy here. The regime's lack of democratic approval is actually a benefit. A client state that has democratic approval has much more leeway to go against its master. A client regime that is unpopular with its population has no other base of support than the powerful country that put it there. This maximizes leverage.

> Which makes total sense

Which implies it's may not be the actual reason. The reason might be as trifling as being salty over Machado getting the Nobel peace prize, and not Trump.

A forever war implies people in the ground that actually would want to resist, and barring conscription (Which will be limited, because diaspora) I don't see how that could actually work

Check social media or go ask a trusted Venezuelan / Latino, happiest I've ever seen the community, because regardless of what's comming, it looks like the light at the end of a tunnel

If LTT is to be believed, this is in the works Maybe SteamOS managed to ruffle enough feathers to start moving the inertial colossus that is Microsoft, not that I have much trust on their willingness to leave a good idea remain good in the long term

I dunno, SQL Server Management Studio regularly drops the ball on autocomplete ever since I've started using it

It was one of the things that brought me to DataGrid in the first place

Greetings, thanks, and other pleasantries feel rather pointless.

Punctuation, capitalization, and such less so. I may be misguided, but on the set of questions and answers on the internet, I'd like to believe there is some correlation between proper punctuation and the quality of the answer.

Enough that, on longer prompts, I bother to at least clean up my prompts. (Not so often on one-offs, as you say. I treat it similar to Google: I can depend on context for the LLM to figure out I mean "phone case" instead of "phone vase.")

> I'd like to believe there is some correlation between proper punctuation and the quality of the answer.

I'd love to believe that, but it's unrealistic in 2025, given all the correctly punctuated slop that brings negative value (wastes time, gives no info) to readers everywhere on the Internet. As much as I hate to admit it, I think this ship has sailed.

I'm of the camp of "make it something so weird/annoying that someone eventually will have to question it"
