Agreed that the Bing brand has to go, but I think they should use their normal naming schemes, something like "Microsoft Azure Cloud Search Pro 2025 SP1"

I hope it says that they remain above 50%

All that really matters is: where do the advertisers choose to put their dollars

Allegedly, Bluesky does not plan to ever have ads on their app. They have some other monetization plans, yet to be announced publicly

Ah yes, the tried and true South Park Underpants Gnome business model...

1. Make Twitter/X Clone

2. ???

3. Profit!

Why not? These all come and go, it could be Twitter's time to go. MySpace became irrelevant, Facebook is near-irrelevant.

and Windows used to be certified for posix, but none of that matters theses days if it's not bug-compatible with Linux

They should put the numpad on the left side then, people can learn to hit numbers with left hand, I used to do this with a dedicated usb numpad

Considering most of the typing you do is with your left hand, I would think that would really decrease the efficiency of your typing.

But why would you need to relearn that when you can continue to use your right hand in a better position???

> upper stages designed to explode into a thousand pieces at the target altitude

By this do you mean at the 800km altitude?

Yes. In a lot of historical spaceflight programs, the stage used in the upper atmosphere stayed with you to the final orbit, and was detached at low speed there. This saved you from having to design your satellite with significant onboard propulsion. Some of the upper stages were able to vent remaining propellants or pressurants, some were allowed to heat up until the pressure vessel exploded.

Suffice it to say this is not sustainable for megaconstellations in thousand years orbits. The responsible thing to do with that kind of scale involves reliable, redundant, prompt de-orbit of upper stages, and ideally for high-thrust, high-mass, high-engineering-margin-of-error atmospheric upper stages never to make it that far into the mission.

I really wish these CPUs had the Vector extension

So do I, and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the CPUs that are given us.

These CPU cores were announced three years before the Vector extension spec was ready.

Check the updates coming next year.

I am happy that there is already a RVA22+RVV1.0 spacemiT K1/M1 as in milk-v jupiter and banana pi bpi-f3.

Relative to having nothing.

In 2025, more options will definitely pop up.

Is there a good book that describes everything we need to know?

https://nix.dev/ is pretty good for getting started these days.

https://nixos-and-flakes.thiscute.world/ is also an excellent resource.

Whew. "Everything" is a tough one, today.

1. I know there is an upcoming book, NixOS in Production. There is a lot of great info in there!

2. Have you seen https://zero-to-nix.com/?
