schestowitz[TR3]    Maybe because they view Windows as a platform in need of maximum monetization instead of an unobtrusive operating system. ( https://old.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1lofgad/windows_seemingly_lost_400_million_users_in_the ) Jul 02 02:48

schestowitz[TR3]                                                <p>I had the idea to write a little shell in go. Called gosh, of course. There’s a few people playing with the same theme, but nothing exactly the same. </p>Jul 02 09:51
schestowitz[TR3]                                                <p> The idea is we have all these commands outputting data and processing it, and the unix ideal where everything is a beautiful line of text is awkward to process. That’s why they called it awk. What if the data were structured in some way, so that I can sort ls output by file owner, even if ls doesn’t offer that, and without counting columns and hoping they’re always the same?Jul 02 09:51

schestowitz[TR3]"When you guys say major gutting all the news outlets talk about 3% or 6500 layoffs which most tech companies have annual layoffs anyway around this percentage if not more.Jul 02 11:05
schestowitz[TR3]If a 228k staff company lays off 6500 total that is a lot but also not much in terms of the global workforce and if most mcaps teams have 8+ specialist sales across 5 different units who are not technical, maybe managers will be let go and teams will be made to become more technical. "Jul 02 11:05
schestowitz[TR3]The 6.5k figure was falseJul 02 11:05
