One of my customers uses Azure DevOps Server, self hosted. And it's missing a lot of features that the cloud version offers.

I think this is on purpose to push people to the clould offering.

Okay next...
I would guess that this move is because because their software runs like a bag of hammers falling down a flight of stairs and the last thing they want to deal with are your support calls about why their products dont work right. Don't get me wrong, they can work smoothly- just it takes an order of magnitude more work than you would expect / they would admit.

To be slightly more charitable, this is a sensible move as at least this way Atlassian can control the end user experience and (perhaps!) have it not be utter trash. Far easier for them to manage this way.

There's a few ways to detect radio receivers, some of them based on listening for incidentally radiated intermediate frequencies (which have to be a multiple of the received frequency) from the amplifier in the receiver: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_detector_van

It would be a heck of a trick to detect a GPS receiver that way, though. Probably be easier just to listen for the RF noise from the switching regulator in the power supply.
Reading some of the comments I agree that replacing something like Windows is not easy. But I think there are a lot of areas where FOSS is becoming a clear answer.

Think of the jobs that require people to use a cloud based software for 90% of their work, these jobs just need a good browser like Firefox and a office suit like LibreOffice[1].

Take 2D/3D design work. 10 Years ago it was almost impossile to get any decent 2D/3D work done on foss now there are powerful tools like GIMP[2], Inkscape[3], Scribus[4], and Blender[5], Godot[6].

I agree the non FOSS alternatives are a lot more smoother than the FOSS alternatives, but this is a compromise worth making when we consider how user hostile some software companies have become in the recent years and if more people turn to FOSS their pain points can be converted in to tools that helps us all improve FOSS.

We are at a time when a few software companies have so much power they are even able to play with our ability to participate in a democracy and I think its our responsibility as software folk (most of us here) to help guide people in the FOSS direction than trying to nudge everyone away from it because of a few pain points.

Thanks for the honest feedback, but I think everything you want summarized is in the summary at the top:

> Vim is a highly customizable text editor geared towards writing code. But open-ended configuration possibilities often lure users into wasting time while chasing after perceived minute gains in productivity. This article describes my Vim journey, starting from heavy personal customization and ending with a renewed love for defaults.

One can read it, take the message, and move on.

However if another reader wants details, it's hard to know upfront what kinds of details he/she will care about. Hence, based on the premises in the summary, the article expands on: 1) the ways in which Vim can be over-configured; 2) some examples demonstrating the possibilities of changing default behaviour; 3) the benefits of scaling configuration down; 4) Summary and additional notes.

You might only care about one or few of those. However this, I feel, is where you would have to selectively skip some sections, based on your own judgement.

The problem isn't businesses using Excel, the problem is businesses using Excel for critical processes.

The Warehouse Manager or Sales Assistant doesn't need to learn an alternative, but e.g. the Finance people should. PowerBI/Tableau for reporting and R/Python for modelling should be a thing in those worlds (even if Excel continues to be an amazing tool for entry level stuff and some quick number crunching).
Yep, exactly.

Wow... the Tromp. I’m blushing
Thanks for the info. Will check these out
> The overwhelming majority of C extensions release the Python GIL during calls to them.

In that corner case you still have slow Python glue code calling fast C++ code.

It makes no sense to claim that Python is performant based on the idea that it may be used to glue together calls to performant C++ code, while ignoring the fact that not only Python forces performance restrictions on it's code but also that C++ code is quite capable of calling performant C++ code itself.
My advice: install Firefox on your mobile device. I took way too long to get a mobile browser with an ad and cookie notice blocker. It also lets you block third party cookies.

Pihole is also nice, but my router won't let me set it as the default DNS. Neither will my Chromecast.
The gain is less frustration.

If you don't mind moving back and forth between mouse and keyboard, or smashing ctrl-arrow to move, then it's fine.
In electronics, there's a trick to measure the delay between two signals when the length of your cable is unknown. First, Connect Cable 1 to Input 1, Cable 2 to Input 2, record the delay between Signal 1 and Signal 2. Next, swap Cable 1 and Cable 2, record the delay again. Then, add two delays together, delays in both cables are cancelled, finally divide it by two to get the true signal delay. You can calculate the delay of both cables if you want, and calibrate it out for your later measurements.

It works because it assumes swapping the cable has no effect on the delay. But the same cannot be said for your hypothetical atomic clock - creating an electronic switch with matched delay is an obvious challenge, but then, even minor physical movement of the cable will change its delay.
In NL, doing fake accusations is a crime in itself ( and it is prosecuted too ). In Dutch I believe it is called a 'valse aangifte'.
> Rebooting during working hours, not great at all.

Windows has a setting for “active hours” during which it will avoid reboots. It asks about those hours during the initial setup, including a somewhat sane default (0800-1700 IIRC). So reboots during working hours are minimized.

If I wanted basic functionality to be locked behind tedious admin tasks, I'd just install a Linux distro. As it stands, I just use Windows for games. So it's no big deal when it craps itself.
> I have zero interest to optimize deciseconds of my time, or worse, optimize my perceived productivity vs. my actual productivity (e.g. forcing myself away from the mouse by ways of pattern matching that increases both mental overhead and time required).

I think you just said it. Its not interesting/nor a priority for you to optimize things to that level. Those using vim properly and trying to move away from the mouse consider it better for efficiency and ergonomics (debatable).

Its not that you fail to understand. Its more so that you don't care that much.

While a monotonic graph can tend to zero the area under the graph can still be infinite.

using blanket terms to be filled with meaning is a valid strategy.

With that in mind, I didn't specify that OP's claim was meaningless. I just handed back the ball. Provocation is maybe not the best discurs strategy (and provocation is maybe not the most precise term for it), but it worked out well for me.

Your response gave me something to think about. Alas, I won't be able to summarize it. I can only sum up that I am not going to indulge in an argument about who and what should be considered "high-level contemporary research". If that is the main concern of your comment, you are just making my point.

More over, if philosophy is eventually a blanket term that is continuously redefined, then I tried to take as much out of it as possible by marking CS and maths as a huge contrast, however not disjunct (nor independent, authark) fields, which should leave huge room for interpretation that is topical to this venue, as a counterforce to the popular view that sees all humanities emerging from the tradition of philosophy--conversely: e.g., the meme of all link trials in Wikipedia ending at the philosophy article--equivalently: philosophy subsuming all... which is a grandious claim. High-level in that sense would be philosophy of philosophy, perhaps, for which there is no authority that I'm aware of.

It's an interesting topic indeed, but in critique of OP's remark about held believes I was trying to get at something slightly different (hoping that it aligns eventually). Namely that truth is often enough that which doesn't need saying, which is however indistinguishable from void. Everything else is climbing towers of abstractions.

My personal experience has been Ubuntu is not only faster but way less annoying especially with live patch updates.

The problem with windows for personal use is that it gets in the way too often with pop ups, notifications and crap ads inside start menu.

Modern gnome is quite good already, though our team is using older hardware that's well supported on Linux.
New team members get familiar with the gnome desktop quite quickly and with a dedicated app store installing apps has never been more easier on Linux.

We do still use windows but only inside a vm for office and outlook mainly because we have to

With many people using browser based tools there is simply not much of a difference in people's workflows across desktop oses.

I think the change has to start at the enterprise level, once companies start using linux then it's simply a matter of time before people switch their personal computers to linux.
They can sell it. What GDPR prevents is hiding the trade or bundling it into other exchanges.

So you're free to say "this access costs $x, you can sell your data for that much on this other service". If you learn through that that people actually are not prepared to sell their data, then GDPR achieved its purpose.

If you work on the other side, it may seem hard to handle. But if websites can't survive without trading user data, I'm happy for them to die and get replaced by something with better business model. Global data abuse is not worth it.

I guess you could also start a business explicitly selling user data to get access to 3rd party services as a replacement of payment. As long as it's a separate entity, it could work?
It’s all my boss and upper management talk about during meetings. I have a friend who use to work at Gartner. It’s very much pay-to-play.
Well things that you cared about are mostly for rich, already well off. Rich will see what they cared about.

On the other side it's worse, health care, education loan, minimum wage not a living wage, affordable housing homeless etc. Things are are important for not everyone not just a few at top.
If you look, you'll find that there're plenty of levels below assembly.
Agreed. Our Atlassian apps were out of sync with each other so couldn't integrate well. Somehow I couldn't convince people that we need to upgrade.

Even though most of things the users complained about would have been fixed with upgrades.
> Think of the jobs that require people to use a cloud based software for 90% of their work, these jobs just need a good browser like Firefox and a office suit like LibreOffice[1].

Okay, but what do you win, really? Are you going to use Google Apps or Microsoft 365? The exact same thing is going to happen (or is happening) there already.

I think that replacing somewhat flawed, non-OSS local systems with OSS 'thin clients' that connect to fully closed, centrally managed cloud services is a really bad choice if you want to regain control.
> You may not agree with a sound money economy, and you may like the idea of a central bank that manipulate the market to encourage spending and discourage savings.

For me its actually the opposite:
I feel like crypto markets are much easier to manipulate- so its done more often.
I would also expext that a currency is used in daily life and not saved as form of high risk investment

So while I don't think that Banks operate for the benefit of mankind, I don't see where Cryptocurrencies would help, either. And to be fair the most real-world contact I had with Bitcoin are All of criminal nature - So there is definitely a certain negative bias
No, they really don't. You don't see companies giving away their products under a permissive license to, afterwards, stating that we should not pay attention to the license because they now want a chunk of our paycheck. That would be as dishonest as it gets, and the dishonesty in that doesn't change if we replace a company with a single-person company.
Thanks, this is quite well written. I agree about a) and b). You’re right.

Does Linux allow replacing e.g graphics driver without rebooting now? I found that to be a key benefit of Windows back when their new driver model came.
Really? Ubuntu is pretty much rock solid, and if it does crash it doesn't just say I broke it, fuck you like windows.

Windows makes me restart just to update .Net for Christ's sake.
I think this is a good place to talk about the fact that all U.S.-based technology companies have to provide requested data stored on servers regardless of whether the data are stored in the U.S. or on foreign soil.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLOUD_Act

This, with the huge amount of tracking from most tech companies means that the U.S. government basically can get almost unlimited information about anyone, wherever they are. Kinda scary if you ask me. Then again, after the Snowden revelations, this doesn't surprise me.
In my case it lead to a reverse on that reasoning. The script ended up being an explicit step to import the data when it changed instead of running implicitly whenever the data was needed. Of course that choice was based on the initial version which was even slower and didn't use multiprocessing to handle the files in parallel.
One thing I'm thankful for is my Excel skill.

Why do I even have Excel skill? Because of the garbage reports and data that I was pulling out of databases. I spent YEARS exporting data-dumps and cleansing them in Excel to help customers whose lives were turned inside out because of garbage in databases.

Not a negative word should be uttered about Excel until you can guarantee that databases and software are pristine and never fail due to human error.

I would expect these to show up as massive amount of unsolved crimes is stats.

And the places where people get away with a lot of crimes are places with corrupt underpaid police force rather then the ones with stopping civil protections.

On discussion forums people talk about it as if the issue was impossibility to find evidence against single dumb impulsive individual. When you look at places with a lot of unsolved cases, you see cops who don't care or who protect their friends or are corrupt or who prefer to prosecute random people. And you see good apples cops getting demotivated and loosing political confkicts against bad apples cops.

What you don't see is well discipline well intentioned police force that is just unable to get doctor report of injuries or use testimony as evidence.
I think it's partly human behaviour - people like doing things rather than being unemployed even if you have some cash hand out. We are awake about 112 hours a week so 40 hours = 36% and 15 hours = 13% so maybe 13% is too little and we should look to make work fun rather than less hours. I figure even if we have AI robots that can do everything people will still teach each other yoga, acting and the like.

Also people are competitive - maybe 15 hours can pay for food and shelter but then the Joneses next door work 60 and buy a Porsche.
True, and I can say the same about Hooke’s law, Newton’s law of gravity, and so on.

Extrapolation outside your dataset is only a problem if you take it too far, and how far is “too far” depends on how well you modelled reality with your dataset in the first place.

Pretty cool! You should link to the demo of the editor (https://victorribeiro.com/tileEditor/) on your Itch page. You should also start with a default grid to make it easy for people to quickly start playing around without having to go through the menus, set the grid sizes, etc.

This is very unfortunate, because in my experience the cloud offerings for JIRA and Confluence are orders of magnitude slower and more resource intensive, and BitBucket Cloud is very feature poor and workflow-compromised in comparison to its server counterpart.
Yet, the US has pretty much been kept at bay from Irak and Afghanistan, go figure... In general, the US army is not equipped for guerilla-style warfare, and especially not on US soil. Local PD are another story on this point, but far less equipped.

The definition of sound money is that it's backed by a tangible asset. Cryptocurrencies do not meet this definition apart from stable coins which then don't meet your definition of "can't be manipulated".
Almost - integration of Linux devices with other ecosystems is the worst of all, unfortunately. As mentioned above: using Linux as a means of keeping control over your software only makes sense if you don't rely on cloud services that are worse from the perspective of freedom than a Windows or a Mac.

> * Try implementing an on-disk hash table in Python and you're stuck manually packing ints and longs in an out of arrays. In C++ it could a simple template used with a memory-mapped file.

This is only simpler if you don't need to handle read failures. If you want to handle read failures, memory mapping can quickly become way more complicated. You have to install signal handlers and do a complicated dance to correctly handle not having data in some range.
I used to spend my time on https://philosophy.stackexchange.com/ looking for.. answers. Until I read "Philosophical Investigations" and "On Certainty" by Ludwig Wittgenstein.
They depict the nature of language and the nature of doubt, and allowed me to frame philosophical questions differently, from language perspective and a psychological one.

"It is not our aim to refine or complete the system of rules for the use of our words in unheard-of ways. For the clarity that we are aiming at is indeed complete clarity. But this simply means that the philosophical problems should completely disappear. The real discovery is the one that makes me capable of stopping doing philosophy when I want to." — Philosophical Investigations.
What do you think is better than Jira, and why?

I'm not the previous commenter, but I also have a similar 30+ years experience, and I've used quite a lot of project management software. I've seen Jira used poorly, and used quite efficiently for managing projects. My current job uses Jira and nobody in the company has ever expressed anything negative about Jira, and it's become quite nice to use. But again, I have seen some companies absolutely fail at Jira. YMMV.
Presumption of innocence is none of the concern in #MeToo situations. In fact our Ministry of Equality affirms that presenting a defense in justice is a problem of further bullying the victim, who shouldn’t be challenged in the process.
