The line between private and public gets a bit blurry when talking about edge routing and CDNs. Especially edge routing.

It’s very strange that he didn’t criticize elected officials one bit. Instead, he blames some faceless cabal of venture capitalists for being out of touch. Who is trying to divide us here?
The only psychotherapy we need is from plant medicines. DMT and psilocybin are natural plant teachers that can help us through the traumas we go through in our life.
I'd add MDMA in there as well. It's had good results in testing for PTSD (look up MAPS) and it changed my life for sure. Not a plant, but I hold onto no idealism about that.
Or maybe Linus isn’t afraid to say what’s on his mind, and that’s why people respect him.
You should try it some time. I know when I started doing it on here, my karma plummeted (real world analogue is “reputation” or social standing). But at least my conscience is clear.
> I know I am and I hope I get one of these newer ones next week. 6 cores and 32 gigs of DDR4 make a lot of a difference.
Even if they provide 64 GB, it will never be enough RAM. OSX is dogshit at memory management, with massive memory leaks. On my work laptop (-1 generation), I have 16 GB. Normal workloads (i.e. not even developer workloads/compilation tasks) consume memory to the point where I’m constantly swapping. Until they fix their shit, I’m not going to buy a new one, nor will I ask my company (I am good friends with IT) to refresh.
That’s not a remotely true for the vast majority of users. If you’re having this problem, you should push for a clean install because nobody on a dev team full of Macs at two different companies has had your complaint (although plenty have had a Slack or Chrome is leaky/bad memory management complaint)
Ok, then why I do only run into this issue on hardware running OS X? This is across machines (I worked at Apple btw, and had to dogfood Mavericks at the time) and across time. Same problem, it was never fixed.
I run Chrome and Slack on Windows and I never have had memory issues. Using Occam’s Razor, it has to be an issue with memory management at the OS level. I’ve also run Chrome and Slack on Linux - 1/10th of the memory footprint. I will write a blogpost in the future about it.
A real 100 year VC firm would be a DAO. Maybe they aren’t as forward looking as they’d like to believe. Much respect to Alexis and Garry, though. It’s not easy to go it alone.
