Because they're not in the business of selling flower stalks? Unfortunately would be confusing in that way.

Not before the dates are announced, which usually happens around September.
(No I don't have inside info anymore, see https://pleroma.debian.social/notice/B3tXH9Fp2SsjoobEzA, but there's no reason that I can see that any of that might have changed)

Or me, ever. I have dozens of different teas from all over the world, if you add sugar then it stops being tea and just becomes sugar water.
If you want that I can pour you a cup of hot water and add some sugar to it. Just don't ask me to spend any of my tea on you

Shit, no. Commodore 64, LOGO, when in 6th year of primary school, in class. That would have been either 1989 or 1990. Also Belgium.
Of course you programmed what the teacher told you to program, but I do remember faffing around a bit with the turtle after that. So I guess it counts.

If s has a length of 3, it will. Copilot isn't wrong? The right way to do this is
min(strlen(s), 2).
Unless of course you are able to guarantee in the contextual code that s is never longer than 2.

Do you lose everything when you make the first mistake or is that just the payout point? Would be a big difference 🙂

(also this could be an interesting scenario for a business tycoon type of game: be Elop and try not to run the company into the ground)

...thereby forcing people to either retrain on the new OS or quit, meaning you have to invest in acquiring the new expertise.
Yes he had to make radical choices, and yes the offer from Microsoft would have been interesting from a financial and engineering point of view. I don't think it was the only option though.

phone at the time was mostly vaporware.
He could have chosen to tighten the collaboration with Intel and kill symbian. He could have looked for an external partner/investor in symbian (less likely, I know) and kill meego.
Instead he chose to go for Windows phone, which at the time was an os but not yet a platform, and kill the two software stacks that he already had in house...

I think it's not accurate to depict that as the only viable scenario, or even if it was indeed the only viable one to therefore say that the choices that were made by Elop weren't the final nail in the coffin for mobile Linux at the time.
Nokia had two platforms that yes were competing with each other and holding each other back, but each had devices in the market that people were actually using with some success and some development, whereas Windows

I don't think I said that? All I wanted to say was that it was very much in character for him and that I'm not surprised.

He's never been much into the philosophical side of open source. For him, all that matters is that the code works.
Here too: he doesn't care how the code came to be, as long as the person submits it vouches for the quality.
He will tell at you in typical Linus fashion if you get it wrong and don't review the LLM output, of course.

Belgian law allows you to do what is called a "wilsverklaring" (declaration of desire) where you can say while you're still sound of mind that you want to be euthanized under certain given circumstances.
It requires that you nominate a person to make the final decision, and you still have to go through all the other (nontrivial) legal requirements, but it is possible and I know people who have done it.
