- If that crash video on X is accurate he was racing on public roads. If so, zero sympathies.
- But of course there is a button to disable it.

- Realistic racing sim games have taught me not to want a supercar for daily drives. Way too easy to f up.
Just one such example (1983):

> CORPORATE TRIUMPH, THEN DEATH IN A FERRARI
> The young president of a successful new computer company died Wednesday afternoon in a car crash in California's Silicon Valley, hours after his company had sold its stock to the public for the first time and he had become a multimillionaire.
- TIL/remembered GNSS satellites have onboard atomic clocks. Makes a lot of sense, but still pretty cool. Something like this, I guess?
- > Signe Ratso, who is in charge of negotiating global access to the EU’s €93.5 billion Horizon Europe research and innovation programme
My thoughts after witnessing Horizon Europe in action when I worked at a hardware/materials research-ish company in Sweden:
- So much pork, so much product concept cosplay.
- All of these grandiose pointless abstract "projects".
- Gotta have like 10+ institutions/companies from lots of different countries involved in each grandiose project, leading to insane overheads.
Just give the institutions/companies (demand equity?) funds instead - stop with the stupid cosplay.
Europe needs to be smarter than the US in how to make this more efficient. Right now that shouldn't that hard.
- I was - thank you.

The rest of my comment still stands.
- *2003, probably?
- Why would you want to destroy your enemies' industries, is what you're asking?
Although I suppose that is predicated on seeing Russia as the enemy. Strangely not always the norm these days in the new world.
- Exactly. They couldn't really change it even if they wanted to. The implementation with all of its warts and quirks is now the standard.
- Yes, there will be edge cases. They need to balance historic compat vs one more fricking setting checkbox. I am thinking that you will never see this solved.
- Excel was completed at least a decade ago (probably two).
This is obviously 99% marketing. Microsoft/Waggener Edstrom tend to be really good at getting mainstream media to report on the marketing activities.
Example: For many Windows launches since Windows 3/95, there's been this media splash where Microsoft spends x million dollars on marketing and mainstream media then reports this, thereby getting (like) 100x millions worth of exposure.
- Programming efficiency isn’t about typing/editing fast - it’s about great decision-making. Although I have seen the combo of both working out very well.
If you focus on fast typing/editing skills to level up, but still have bad decision-making skills, you'll just end up burying yourself (and possibly your team) faster and more decisively. (I have seen that, too.)
- Support for more than 7-bit ASCII characters. :)

Seems like there's been a disconnect between users and kernel developers here?
