I don't think there are many people in the industry who are in denial (though I am known to over-estimate the average Homo Sapiens' abilities).

The reality is already well-acknowledged. What would you do next? Surely, trying to beat people's faces in this reality via your 10+ comments in this thread isn't a next step, more like infinite repeating of the acknowledging part.

I'd definitely volunteer to make Qt more dev-friendly. As it is though, I am too late because my personal life and health are in a dire need of attention and money. So I'll sadly leave it to others. But if these others only repeat the reality, then what hope do we have, I wonder.

Business interests and the resulting pressure have been a fact ever since first written history. Again, the reality is well-acknowledged for a LONG time now.

There's no need to get aggressive.

It will suck to have to resort to essentially MITM tactics on my developer workstation in order to decrypt local traffic. Yes, there are tools like Fiddler that can do this, but eventually it may be impossible to MITM traffic the way Fiddler does. That will make it more difficult to debug applications. There are also platforms like Pivotal Cloud Foundry that rely on being able to inject headers into HTTP messages as the messages traverse the platform (e.g., to support throttling); this will become more difficult if that traffic has to be encrypted.

HTTP/2 with forced TLS is, in effect, a binary protocol. Right now, developers all over the world enjoy the plain-text and hackable nature of HTTP 1.x.
GNOME on Wayland with AMD or Intel graphics (can't tell you about Nvidia) is at least as smooth as Windows 10 or macOS. That's just graphical performance I'm talking about though.

Unfortunately, that alone isn't quite the same 'smooth' experience as Windows and macOS because:

- the only somewhat noob friendly out of the box experience that has this setup is the latest Fedora (at the moment)

- you need to be concerned about whether your graphics card is compatible

- many Linux apps aren't built using modern GTK3 or Qt which will result in some jarring/inconsistent experience when doing actual work in your desktop environment

- there are just fewer quality applications to work with on Linux, and cross-platform applications often are less graphically pleasing than their Windows and especially macOS equivalents

- there's no equivalent of Macbook or Microsoft Precision trackpads on Linux, which to me are part of the subjective 'smooth' experience on Macbooks or recent properly equipped Windows laptops

Wayland in my experience really solves the performance/smoothness problems the Linux desktop has. But there's still a long way to go even after Wayland becomes the default on the Linux desktop.

That's actually a very interesting point of view that I hadn't considered - that people blindly adhering to 'accepted' design guidelines might be stifling unique design approaches or perpetuating mistaken assumptions.

Given that, are there any sites that would be better recommended for startups/entrepreneurs who are inexperienced in web design as this article seems to be aiming at? Or is the whole point that people shouldn't rely on conventional design wisdom?

Sorry to hear about your wife's bad experience.

Never heard of the company, but based on the specs of laptops being offered from the website, I'd hazard a guess that the discrete GPU is probably the source of many of your woes. Linux has always been a second-class citizen for video cards, particularly since NVIDIA's binary blobs fly in the face of the FOSS spirit.

If she doesn't do intense graphical editing or gaming, an integrated GPU from Intel would probably run much better on Linux.

FWIW (and I hate countering anecdotal evidence with more anecdotal evidence), I've got a Dell XPS 13 running Fedora and it will run days/weeks without a problem. I reboot it maybe once a month in order to apply the latest kernel, and that's about it.
I think developers dislike what I'll call "commercial agile" - a process imposed from above popularized by people or organizations with a commercial interest in selling so called "agile" i.e. scrum certification, etc.

Poorly implemented agile where you have some agile-like processes coupled with waterfall processes ["fragile"] can also sour developers on agile. ("If this is agile, I don't like it.")

To change it, I'll have to go spelunking through either the HTML or the CSS, and if I was a designer, I'd probably pick the CSS. Looking for the 'product' class and tweaking a few properties sounds much nicer than figuring out how I need to change 'col-xs-4'. I'd rather have a conversation with the layout engine than struggle with some middle-man generic CSS framework like Bootstrap - it's simpler and more flexible (imo).
The value of keeping a paper trail has got lost in mutual political accusations. Appearance of correctness is important just like being correct.
It's a common argument that HTTP/2 being binary makes it harder to debug. Sure, it might be tougher if I'm using Wireshark to look at raw TCP packets. But Chrome/Safari/Firefox/IE Web Inspectors (what most web devs use to debug HTTP requests) already parse the HTTP the same way as before.

So I've noticed exactly 0 difference in my workflow between HTTP 1 and HTTP 2.

> The half that are not leftist are "bad hateful people", and you hate them and do not tolerate them.

You're arguing with a strawman.

There's an ocean of space between "leftist" and "bigoted" for normal centre and right-wing people who aren't bigots. I'll agree that the social justice community has made a bad habit of throwing around "racist" and "sexist" far too freely, especially in the wake of Trump's election.

But this isn't like that. This is a guy who celebrates sexism. Who has made sexism a cornerstone of his ideology.

It is not hypocritical to be intolerant of intolerance, anymore than it is hypocritical to use violence to stop violence (since that is the entire mechanism of law enforcement).
I'm not so sure most inmates need to be forced. I have a family member who was incarcerated under the war on drugs and he was not initially allowed to work and grew extremely bored.

For my part, I still don't care if they broke laws protecting taxi monopolies in some places. They haven't as far as I know broken any laws in my neighborhood so my opinion is somewhat abstract. But if we did have laws here to draw a special distinction between giving someone a ride and giving someone a ride in exchange for money, then I would be annoyed with the legislators rather than the civil disobedients.

I do think it's stupid we had and continue to have laws that say it's illegal to offer someone a paid ride if you notice that they need one with your own senses ("hailing"), as opposed to via a phone call or app notification.

Maybe many people share this view, and that solves the mystery: people haven't only started caring recently about the local regulations; they started caring about the completely different issues that only recently came to light: backoffice culture problems, reckless administration of the self-driving car project, worsening conditions for unskilled freelancers generally, etc. That explains how it could be that suddenly lots more people are averse to Uber, and yet no more people care about taxi businesses or their legal moats than before.

I have to respond to this with my own experience on what is admittedly a very expensive machine.

I recently bought a Dell Precision 5520 (a bumped up XPS 15 with Kaby Lake basically) and I have to say that the Ubuntu it shipped with worked pretty flawlessly- I had absolutely no issues at all it's shocking to me how well it ran and all the niggling things I expected to pose problems worked as flawless or even better than the last time I run them on windows. (Wifi/Trackpad/Battery and indicators)

The only issue I had was the Thunderbolt 3 dock I bought with it, for some reason the USB ports didn't work. But after I installed archlinux with a more modern kernel even that went away.

I would say that my laptop is almost better supported than my old Thinkpad. And that thing was damn near flawless already.

Linux on the desktop is improving, and I think Canonical was and continues to be a huge driver of that- Ubuntu is the OS that is the target platform for a lot of these Linux supporting devices and Canonical has a lot of responsibility in that area.

We might do well to appreciate that. Even if we don't like things like systemd/mir/whatever

We all understand how it works. Repeating that is unconstructive.

Yes but you usually enter a competition when you either have a chance to win, provide something the other won't or do it for experience (if you have resources to waste).

In the case or Mir:

- it's like creating an alternative linux kernel. Very few chances it will succeed.

- even they roadmap didn't list anything wayland couldn't do.

- canonical doesn't have that much cash to waste.

I would have get Mir if they would have said:

- we will do X that wayland clearly can't do and that we can't contribute to wayland;

- we have tons of cash and devs and can spare a few to experiment.

It's just not the case here.

This is open source, we all want a better linux desktop, not a war. Mir felt more like starting a battle than solving a problem.
Running docker on desktop environment seems a good idea in some situation
Ah, I think I understand the confusion now. I guess you're wanting to do something like `helm install https://github.com/some/url` and that doesn't work. But I was assuming you were consuming the chart in the same repo, or including it via a submodule, such that the chart would be a local file reference.

Sorry for the confusion!

To use a URL, I think you'd either have to push up the packaged chart as a .gzip file in your repo (which is annoying), or you'd have to package up the chart and create a GitHub release with the resulting gzip file to be able to reference it that way. In GitLab you might be able to point to a pipeline artifact[0] after packaging the chart using GitLab CI.

In one experimental project[1], I'm using GitLab Pages to package and publish the index. It works out surprisingly well, but has some shortcomings.

KDE and Gnome are both really good nowadays, but Ubuntu is a buggy piece of shit. I've helped friends install it a couple of times recent years, and seen various desktop program crashes every time. It wasn't like this back in the Gnome2 days.

What we really need is Red Hat to start selling Fedora computers. And KDE Neon to ship laptops based on Debian stable. And obviously at least one big retailer to have them in a physical store, so we tell our friends where to go.

I am a big vscode user, have a couple of contributions too. But because of perf, sublime feels light weight. Opening up minified and large packaged js files larger than 100 MB, sublime shines.

My biggest problem with Notepad is performance. It absolutely chokes on large files.
I may have ragged on RH in the past, but sometimes i wonder if RH/Fedora is the dog being wagged by the tail. The tail being Freedesktop and Gnome related projects and their devs (that sadly more often than not are employees at RH for various reasons).

This noted in how Fedora maintainers will often clash with those project devs, while RH basically sits and skims Fedora at intervals to form RHEL (freezing the state of Fedora at that point in time, and applying backports of various fixes etc).

Meaning that RH/Fedora, being the big dog in the distro pack, gets used by certain developers to ram through their agenda no matter if the larger Linux community wants it or not.
I do the same and share the same pain about the bookmarks manager.

One thing that irks me is that Firefox saves my bookmarks in "bookmarks menu" when I use ctrl-d. Then I get a monstrous "Bookmarks" menu and I have to move manually all these bookmarks with the Bookmarks manager from "bookmarks menu" to "unsorted bookmarks". Which is easy enough, but why the hell does Firefox save bookmarks in different folders when I use ctrl-d or the star icon?

This is a distinction without difference. No meaningful line can be drawn between "belief" and "behavior." Somebody who holds hateful beliefs will act on those beliefs whether it's donating to a political candidate who wishes to provide government support to the hateful ideology or it's protesting the targets of that hate or it's just posting on a bulletin board and attempting to spread the hate to others.

Here's a much simpler and more radical idea: let each group decide, based upon their own values, what criteria will be applied to their members. Internet communities are not a public spaces that belong to all. They're not managed by the government. They're not even a "protected" space like private corporations. They're not even clubs whose membership confers significant socio-economic benefits. They are free, private associations in the purest sense of the word. Think of people gathering to have a chat at a bar or hobbyists getting together on the weekend to build matchbox race cars.

Given this, it's right and proper that the people of the Drupal Community don't want to hang out with some creep who hates women and have ejected him. It's their community, let them decide.
I do get it. That's why I started from the important of professionalism, of separating the professional from the personal. But I'm also pointing out the other side: that maybe, just maybe, this kind of thing crosses the line. If it was just his beliefs we wouldn't know about them in the first place. But obviously, we know about them, which means it's not just his beliefs it's his statements.

If I went around on some other private forum and said "tps5 is sub-human and should be subservient to me" you'd have reason to say "I will not work with Pxtl and I'm disappointed that this project is working with him, his behavior is seriously not okay".

If I went around on some other private forum and said "all people who share attribute X with tps5 are sub-human and should be subservient to me" is that more or less okay?
> Leftist beliefs aren't "half the population is my lesser".

Yes they are. Opposing views (and the people who hold them) are seen as morally inferior. Furthermore, people who hold leftist beliefs defend other people who hold views such as “women are inferior”, or “homosexuality should be punishable by death”, etc.

And I say this is a liberal, left-leaning, pro-multiculturalism individual.

My point is perhaps not entirely relevant to this Drupal guy though.

Those rates are consistent with much of the world. It's typical in the US, Canada, UK, and AU to average about a dollar per thousand visitors. There is very little demand from advertisers for global ad inventory. Part of it is fear of click farms, but mostly corporations are simply interested in reaching consumers and top tier markets.
But there is such a thing as the paradox of choices. This is a big problem on Linux because if you want to do a software, you first have to handle this diversity for UI, bus communication, configuration storage, dir layouts, init systems, packaging... It's a nightmare. Compare to releasing the same thing for windows or mac.
