>Mate, you are taking this too personal. your account here won't survive long like that. The "smearing foss" comment wasn't targeting you.

If it's not targeting me. Who is it targeting, "Mate?" Clearly it was targeting me, as you're REPLYING to me. Let's be honest here, You were attempting to "smear" me, but now you're back pedaling. Play it safe, don't even use the word "smear." No one is doing that here, it's just opinions and discussion. Keep it that way.

>You are just wrong about the usability and compatibility. Especially compatibility is the strong suit of FOSS software in general and Linux specifically. There is broader hardware and software support. It's a fact, get over it.

Nah I'm totally right. FOSS is less compatible with most hardware. The "official broad support" isn't even the the measuring stick here. It's actual hardware crashes and bugs.

>1. No, Bash is not the most common interface, though I like it. It has to be used for the rare edge case, everything else can be done with GUIs. If your impression is otherwise you are not using mainstream distros nor are you doing regular tasks. Use Gnome or KDE on Ubuntu and stop distro hopping.

"Mate," my impression encompasses gnome and KDE on Ubuntu as well as non mainstream distros, so I know my shit. Bash is 100% the most common interface, even on ubuntu. Any time you want to configure your operating system you will touch the CLI. Applications promote it, tutorials promote it, if you aren't using it I'm not sure what reality you're living in.

If you're thinking of the world as if it's Grandmas using the browser vs. Programmers, then yes, grandmas using the browser have everything they need with ubuntu without touching the CLI. However, there are advanced users of computing outside of the programming world. 3D modelling software, audio production, Network Administration... to get even these things to work right most of these people will indeed touch the CLI.

>2. I'm playing exclusively on Linux since Proton got introduced, though I even used Linux for games before that. I'm okay with the occasional game not working, as Windows was vastly more cumbersome to keep in a working state, plus the many games that did not work there will also not be forgotten by me.

I'm a hardcore gamer so I have over 100 games in my steam library. I have a linux dell laptop with a quadro card. Only low fidelity games work; and certain games trigger the OS to restart. Running windows this never happens. Not even referring to proton. Just talking about games compiled to target linux.

>3. Void Linux is my current choice. I was a supporter in a Ubuntu forum and used that for many years, and still for the dayjob. I did use Funtoo for a while in between.

Try tinkering with NixOS or arch. You will have a better view of compatibility issues that linux suffers from. Ironically the fact that "choices" for distros exist and the fact that you have to pick the "right" OS for the right perspective is a big usability issue in itself.
> stocks in companies, bonds in governments

Being pedantic, but governments aren't the only entities which issue bonds. Private bonds exist as well.
Alternative title: a bum glamorizes his parasitic lifestyle.

Money is one of many solutions designed to allocate resources on a large scale. Of course, there are others, but he doesn't propose any alternative system. He's just a parasite. A pre-industrial society most likely wouldn't be able to support his existence so easily and he would either starve to death or start working.
Exactly I did a couple of very early agile projects for BT in 94 One using RAD/DSDM and one using a waterfall design with a RAD development phase
if I could downvote this infinitely, I would.
Interesting. I must have missed the point when unions became about voicing concerns. Last I recall, creating unions is an attempt at monopolizing labor to extort the employer. When this tactic is applied to any other factor of production it is called a “cartel” and engaged in “market manipulation.”

How surprising that employers who pay above-market wages do not wish to be extorted further. All the modern propaganda says they have to welcome this benevolent expression of democratic freedoms!
I read that twice and now it makes less sense. What is the purpose of the fake transfer steps?

Well, GUI installers are typically severely limited.
> There needs to be naming and shaming of those that perpetuate this practice.

Government, by tieing things that should be universal to mandates to employers who employ a person for a certain number of hours in a week. Which, in addition to promoting this kind of behavior as a cost/utility optimization, encourages a feudal lord-servant relationship between employers and employees rather than a capitalist market-exchange relationship, and necessarily (even ignoring the effect of the optimization incentives) assures that what should be universal is instead limited to a narrower fully-employed class.

If the government provides the benefit universally and taxes to cover the costs, the perverse incentives to limit employment and further narrow access to the intended general benefit is eliminated.

Naming and shaming the people who follow the incentives government creates is pointless; name and shame the government for setting up the broken system of incentives. Any other target is just a perpetual game of whack-a-mole.
Thanks a bunch for your response.

Regarding cryptographic methods, I was indeed clutching at straws. It seems to me that current methods can convey that there are 'no obvious indicators of fraud', it would be nice if pharma had recourse to methods by which they could 'prove' that fraud couldn't have happened. I suppose it would be quite impossible to design such a protocol, 'best effort' is probably all one can do. I think mandatory pre-registration itself fixes many of the potential problems.

On a different note: compilers and medical trials … I don't see those going together a lot.
Same.

Getting that first dot matrix printer was pretty magical. Especially since we could design our own dinosaurs by mixing heads, bodies, legs, and tails of a wide variety of dinosaurs, name them something ridiculous, and print them out. So many dinosaur printouts.

We had to upgrade the 386 to a 486 and install a math coprocessor to play DOOM.

Then later, it was all about SkiFree and Jezzball.

My favorite book was Windows 95 Secrets.

My small town school had a pretty solid computer class where we learned typing, then hypercard, and then digital video editing. The teacher convinced me somehow to make a movie about wheeling around a computer cart around the grounds to a soundtrack full of 'The Drifters' type music

Way later in life I found the guy who ran the one big server that brought internet to most of the community. He said the continuous bandwidth upgrade needs were driven almost entirely by porn traffic.
> If the society has no money, there's going to be a whole lot of punishment going on

The mostly uncontacted hunter-gatherer bands in the Amazon jungle have no money, and not much punishment. Men all go out and hunt. If they are old or young or sick, the hunters give them food. If they are fine and refuse to go out on a hunt, they tend not to eat.

There is not much coercion. The women gather berries and the men hunt. If you don't go out and get food, you don't eat, unless you are gifted food as the young, old and infirm are. There's no coercion other than a hungry stomach.

Of course in civilized society, there are a class of rentier heirs who do not work, who have a relationship with those who do work, of expropriating their surplus labor time. Obviously this is done with coercion and punishment.
Sometimes I feel like that too, which is why I appriciate these kinds of articles.
Are there any credible estimates for Clubhouse’s remaining runway?
Galloway and Swisher pegged Clubhouse correctly months ago on their podcast, saying it’s a feature not a platform. All the actual platforms are just cloning it.
I’ve seen it too but isn’t that still their job? If they just transcribe an “everything is urgent” message from the top down to the field, why is the company paying them? Can’t the same be done in an email or all hands? Feels like they’re just masking poor leadership team at that point.
Just started learning Zig, but I'm already amazed by the language. Feels so intuitive, simple and productive, really a good choice for quick prototyping. I'm glad to see Zig being used as a "successor" to C in projects like this.

As a user of Linux on my daily driver I recently received a machine with windows 10 for a work project. I've been using it about 50% of the time for the past 2 months and I'm missing Linux big time. It's slower on better hardware, it does seemingly unpredictable things, software crashes more often and the driver situation is still a problem contrary to what everyone has told me. There's countless design choices that make my workflows harder as well.

I also have a Mac mini, and my wife has a MacBook pro. They are better but stability has never been an issue with my Linux desktop experience. I've been using it since 2005 or so. It used to offer far less software and a worse user experience but was always very stable.

Arch BTW.
How can you even get a Job as a "scrum master" with no experience in development or the industry.

You should collectively have just refused to work for them in this case.
>They’re purposely ill defined.

Yes they were. The cynical side of me says that this was because they were purposefully trying to create a rallying cry or something akin to a religion to better sell their wares and were unconcerned about the fallout that would ensue.

The less cynical side of me says they did it because they came up with "extreme programming" and knew that a lot of it was kind of bullshit, disagreed with each other on the details, but wanted some way to push people in "that sort of direction".

The net result either way was... well, a kind of religion.

>You also belittle scrum for becoming too specific.

No, I didn't belittle scrum for being specific. It's one of the good things about it. It is, however, a specifically defined bad way of running a team. We do need designed processes as specific as scrum, that are less one-size-fits-all and that have a more systematic and refined approach to software quality, estimation and design.

"Scrumban" is definitely an improvement, but even that is still lacking.

I'd like to see software team processes treated in many respects as a kind of "software to run teams", specifically meaning:

* That it gets iterated frequently and responds to feedback at every level (not just team, but philosophically - by its founders).

* That it's clearly and precisely defined.

* That there are a variety of different config switches depending on circumstances (e.g. number of people, skill distribution, are you building CRM or flying space rockets, etc.).

* That the individual pieces (e.g. retros, sprint planning) can be chopped and changed and upgraded/iterated on individually and yet still couple to each other sensibly - akin to the UNIX philosophy.

The EU definitely needs it's 'branding' just as does Nike.

You did not even know who Ursula Von Der Leyen was when you went to the polls - she was 'decided' as your leader in a back room, closed door meeting in which MEPs had no influence. When you cast your vote, you had no clue what her platform was, or what she would bring about as leader.

To suggest that this is somehow 'democratic' is a farce. The EU was designed to keep the plebes at bay.

Whether it's the fact that voters have almost no role in leadership selection, that leaders can be chosen arbitrarily, that there is no required vetting process, that MEPs cannot introduce legislation, have very limited power to censure leaders, there is almost zero voter awareness of the political apparatus, the individuals or contemporary issues, low voter turnout, that constitutional rights were ceded to the EU without referendum, or worse, that clear and unambiguous referendum results directed leaders to not cede power to the EU - they did it anyhow. The EU has barely any claim to democratic legitimacy, people promulgating it as such are propagandizing.

Literally French voters unambiguously rejected the Treaty of Lisbon - and it was ratified anyhow ceding major elements of sovereignty.

If they wanted democracy the commission would have direct elections and/or the MEPs would chose directly, and, there would be a lot of rules around campaigning etc. You wouldn't possibly be able to vote for the President of a Commission without knowing who they were. MEPs would certainly be allowed to introduced legislation and censure leaders.

So yes, it does take a lot of 'marketing' to convince people of the legitimacy of something when it doesn't have that legitimacy in many ways.

The EU had nothing to with keeping the peace in the Post WW2 order, that was 1) The Marshall Plan and the American Nuclear Umbrella 2) NATO and existential threat from the USSR and 3) The EEC.

The reason the EU wants their flag in the town council chambers is the same as Nike might want that, or the French Government might want their flag especially in parts of France that are not historically very French i.e. it's a form of marketing/propaganda, like anything else.

I don't like Amazon, so I don't buy from them. If people did that, they wouldn't have their weird company towns and creepy 'high school sponsorships'.
No, it goes back to square one. Amazon is not literally building these towns. These towns have been there before. Then Amazon came, and made job market better. If it leaves, it won’t be worse off than it was on the first place.
I take their meaning as a poke at those who believe that "if you will it, it will be." There were some who believe(d) if you gathered a stadium of people and told them all to think about the candle in the center of the stadium self-igniting that through the power of shared belief it would. If this were true, then, to op's point, a bunch of reality would be changing to match people's mental expectations as influenced through media tropes. And since we don't see that, then people's thoughts likely don't influence reality.
I'm the last person to be charged with "feminist-speak" and I actually agree that it's usually women who end up in these undesired jobs.

Most communes and cults that give up money end up using some other form of control. NXIVM is a recent example, but most of these fringe movements discover women are more useful and less trouble than men.
Thanks, as the nag-screen happened before the request I assumed androids do-not-ask-again wouldn't matter for the nag-screen. But it did! Thanks
Huh, had no idea this was a more widespread thing. I don't really see it working out but maybe there's something there.
Money exists in other forms other names money is effort and effort is time, your time.

Hunter-gatherer societies would have an equivalent of money not literally notes and coins but trading their effort and time. It is literally a society, people gather in a group for mutual advantage. The advantage being I don't want to personally make, build, do everything to survive so you trade skills which is effort and time which is essentially money.

If you bothered to read the article you linked, you would know it says this is a French policy decision, not mandated by the EU Commission. Also that it was a compromise with a right wing party wanting the French flag prominently displayed in classrooms.
They do spread their wings in flight, but the few photos/vids I bothered to find it's still quite distinct from the classical pinned position (in terms of the angles fore/aft more than anything).

This is not true, as long as the company does not uses multiple wallet to intentionally avoid taxes.

It's not, exactly, but some of the concepts do overlap. In particular, the idea of being able to write things in a "natural" mathematical style, then have them translate to an obsessively precise internal representation, is essentially the problem of "elaboration" as described in the top answer.
> Then you might have an inexperienced manager or moderator.

More likely you have people who are paid to do some workload which they are generally happy with. They aren't going to be motivated into doing more by accident, especially through their own action. This is the vast majority of people in the world, so good luck countering that momentum over the long term.

Effective software project management is an interesting and hard problem, granted, so many people are interested in how to tackle it. I get it.

What I see is that "agile" criticisms are really criticisms of it's inefficacy in giving employers more for their dollar from the employee perspective. I don't see why I should get too invested in minimizing my relative value.
In the anime Haibane Renmei there are angel-like characters who are allowed to barter for goods but not allowed to use money- presumably because of an association between money and sin.

Why couldn't parallel execution in single process be combined with persistence? Store the job data, the continue execution of the job and at the end, clean up or mark it completed. One gets both persistence as well as an easy, single-process deployment.
We used NixOps for a while. Small company (<100, >20), with lots of client deployments on prod and various pre-prod environments as well. NixOps worked well enough, and i never heard complaints about it. Though i wasn't in the trenches with it personally.

Our problem was hiring for it. Ultimately we ended up moving away from NixOps and into more Kube/AWS solutions to provide this basic orchestration. Unlike a lot of Kube talk, it isn't entirely overkill for us - but NixOps worked just fine, and is probably better for us. We just didn't have Ops with enough knowledge in Nix to properly exploit Nix to easily achieve our goals. Nothing was easy.

With Kube/AWS though a lot of hiring decisions were dead easy and bringing people on who knew it was dead simple. As much as i'd prefer to be on Nix, reducing decision fatigue is at least nice.

Reminds me of how Ankh-Morpork is mostly built on Ankh-Morpork, most people have basements they don't even know they have and dwards can dig through the lower, older layers of the city to get around without using the surface streets. I can't find a quote on the internet, but wikipedia says a few words about this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankh-Morpork#Geography

Edit: Oh, wait, found it, here:

"To William’s complete lack of surprise, the little cellar under the shed was much better built than the shed itself. But then, practically everywhere in Ankh-Morpork had cellars that were once the first or even second or third floors of ancient buildings, built at the time of one of the city’s empires when men thought that the future was going to last for ever. And then the river had flooded and brought mud with it, and walls had gone higher and, now, what Ankh-Morpork was built on was mostly Ankh-Morpork. People said that anyone with a good sense of direction and a pickaxe could cross the city underground by simply knocking holes in walls."
