One huge problem is that with code the usual way of ensuring maintainability is to revisit old code and rewrite parts of it as needed, in order to be able to maintain it properly.

One huge problem with no/low code solutions is that people usually think that this doesn't need to be done for no/low code solutions, only for code solutions. But solutions using nodes in order to build stuff also need to be revisited, refactored and thought of as abstractions.

Peter Wohlleben has written about this approach. The Menominee tribe also practices a similar method; they only log sick or weak trees. However, because these are from old growth forests, the wood quality is superior to that of trees from monoculture forests.

Same here, yesterday I searched for a very specific error message (don't remember exactly), and even on the first page there were local news stories. This was on Metager, which also uses Bing as one of its backends.

I think it's Tay v2.0 injecting itself into the conversation.
While I laud your effort, having had to do such a chore myself[1] you are missing the point of bureaucracy. The whole point is to make work for bureaucrats, and the easier and more pointless it is, the better. There are also other issues remaining, like the fact that you need to involve your landlord[2].

Do you think anyone at the Bürgeramt has any reason to change their easy "just type stuff and press buttons" job to anything resembling real work? Bureaucrats wield political power, at the very least because they vote like anyone else, but they also have more direct influence than average people. Politicians have no incentive to go against them and, as long as they promise that everything will remain the same, they will have the support of the paper-stamper class. The bureaucrats form a distinct social class with their own interests.

If there was any will to solve the problem, it would have been done already, even without technology. Most people think that taxes are levied to pay for services, but it is actually the other way around, bureaucracy is there to justify the taxes.

That's very thoughtful, but my suggested edit is all yours if you want it :)
Will Microsoft make this version of WSL available to Windows 10 users? With slightly two years and a month of support left, Windows 10 has reached the "you should be looking into migrating to Windows 11" phase, and I wouldn't be surprised if this branch only makes it to Win11.
Can your example be solved by having the k8s cluster resource reference the network resource’s “name” attribute?

Doing that allows Terraform to create both resources in one plan/apply step, and it also helps Terraform understand the dependency between the resources so that they are created in the correct order.
I find myself thinking about the conundrum of long-term digital archiving pretty often. It's a very interesting question.
Circumstantial evidence is still evidence. I'll acknowledge that this is extremely tenuous, but: the NSA has gimped algos before, wants to do it again as frequently as possible, and has the capacity to do so.

Unfortunately, at some point we (non-crypto-experts) have to trust something.

In case of Red Hat? Given their substantial contributions to Linux, primarily funded by support contracts, certification and consultancy I think they deserve to be profitable. At the same time, I as a user, also prefer to not pay them and have free access to their software.

For some time this was acceptable to all parties. But then companies not competing in Linux contribution started competing in the support contracts, certification and consultancy business, by giving away RedHat's free beer.

Wouldn't it be great if Oracle, Amazon (and Rocky, Alma) could continue to rely on RedHat's efforts but share / contribute / upstream revenue profits made consulting, certifying, supporting rather than freeloading on commons like RedHat? Forcing a distro fork the way RedHat IBM seems to want seems like an unwanted technical solution to a mere business/money problem.
.net dev here. I started my career using Mendix. It’s very much aimed at enterprise (see pricing) and in direct competition with Outsystems. I haven’t used it for about two years now so might be out of date. Some unordered thoughts:

- I wasn’t around for the decision between outsystems and mendix, but apparently the choice largely came down to the support provided by the Mendix team in getting a fledgling dev team up and running in a company which at the time only outsourced dev work

- following on from that, the Mendix guys were all great to work with. A genuine positive. I heard that the impression of outsystems was much colder

- it’s a really mature product that’s always growing. Backed by Siemens for a few years now.

- like all low code it has its limits but it’s built in Java and there is the option to add Java code where needed for performance or for some other reason. There are APIs for hooking into the platform at multiple levels so it’s extensible.

- in my current job I build in azure/logic apps/function apps. Personally I would either do function apps or full low code like Mendix (costs aside). I try to avoid the middle ground or power automate/power apps/ logic apps - you basically get the worst of all worlds, and are only really intended to link services together or orchestrate amongst services.
I'm a developer, but had some experience with Bubble because my former client was using it. I would say that it's good "full-stack" web dev platform that allows you to get further than you would think with a low-code tool. But in the end, you trade-off speed in the first few weeks against complexity and bad maintainability later down the road.

I would say Bubble is good if you don't know how to code but still want to build something like a basic CRUD app. If you know how to code, my advice would be to still code it yourself. This advice is probably valid for most no-code tools, because you always trade off against something.
I have a feeling that Nintendo gaming would outlast Xbox gaming.

Shouldn't that be MOFU?
You only need to look at the culture clash of Microsft and Rare to see what a bad idea this would be,

"Microsoft purchased the developer in 2002, and the Stampers departed in 2007. The family atmosphere of the 90s, when Chris and Tim sat in on interviews and left their talented developers to work unhindered, offering occasional golden nuggets of advice, was long gone. “Microsoft and Rare was a bad marriage from the beginning,” Rare’s Martin Hollis told Eurogamer in 2012. “The groom was rich. The bride was beautiful. But they wanted to make different games, and they wanted to make them in different ways.”[0]

Hallucinations tend to be very inconsistent.

Perhaps that's true of what the the GP is talking about, but if we consider the article we're discussing here, this requirement when you move to fill out a paper form when you move to a new house, and then wait possibly months for an appointment to bring that form in person to hand to a government official... dear god, that sounds Kafkaesque.

And I say this as an American who was under the impression that some significant bits of the US government bureaucracy are pretty wild. This German thing takes the cake.

Regardless, it's a little weird that you accuse GP of expressing an uninformed opinion about German bureaucracy when you admit that you only have limited secondhand experience with it yourself.

With a fairly low life expectancy, unfortunately. How can we live 70+ years while living sustainably? I'm sure we can do it, but we haven't sorted that out yet, maybe the long-living Mediterranean communities will offer a clue.
And this is why we need to really rethink the typical patterns on form inputs, which today usually presume a western style name pattern.

Just ask people for their full name, and what they would prefer to be called. (Unless you literally cannot provide your services' value without more detail).
No, the scheme is there to simplify collaboration across borders and connect research teams with very different skills.

While you can still do it outside the EU programs, it will require a lot of administrative work which most universities cannot handle.

I am sincerely wondering if this must be the case or is it a shortcoming of the existent solutions, but something that can be overcome. (Disclaimer: I am a programmer who never seriously used any low code product apart from a spreadsheet. Unless you count Emacs as a low code platform, which would not be wrong, I guess.)

I hope it doesn't come to that, but some indications are there.

The problem is, that nowadays manufacturers and big tech giants can or do lock down their devices much more than when the Free Software movement started out. Also the hardware is way harder to reverse engineer, if possible at all. It is difficult to imagine "a new <word for freedom> Software movement" to be initiated in our times. What hardware can they rely on? How would they break the shackles of proprietary software and hardware?

I would actually welcome Microsoft's acquisition of Nintendo. Purely because I have hope that perhaps Microsoft could stop Nintendo from behaving as evil as they do. DMCA claiming videos that don't contain any IP from Nintendo. If you mention Nintendo and emulation in the same day, you get a letter from Nintendo. Also shutting down game stores on previous hardware. Sometimes it really does just feel like Nintendo doesn't like its customers.

Don't get me wrong, I (and my family) own a GameBoy, GameBoy Colour, DS, DSi, brother has a Switch and he's happy with it. While I carry DSi with me with Tetris which I love. But I dream of a brighter day.

It's really quite sad.
To be honest though as a foreigner living in The Netherlands who doesn't speak a word of Dutch past "lekker", your bureaucracy and general services are probably one of the best in the world. Even your weird medical system is amazing when you actually need help - which I did and got top tier care, extremely fast. The Netherlands should just export their whole system to all of Europe, including the way information is documented in English in every official website.

On top you got a culture of being on time, which is prevalent everywhere, and you wait for stuff very seldomly, and only for a few minutes. Waiting for anything was one of my biggest irks in my home country, the fact that I can make an appointment, be there 5mins early, and get the service, blows my mind.
Worse. At least GamaSutra to GameDeveloper makes it sound less like an adult website. "X.com" sounds like Netscape is about to start thrashing the hard drive with penis enlargement pop-ups like it's 1998.
This is not true. Civil servants hate drudgery as much as anyone else, and there plenty of work to go around. The chief complaint of Ausländerbehörde employees is that the work keeps piling up.

You must involve your landlord because you need some proof that you live where you are registering.

Sometimes the simplest explanation is the most likely: that the system is a disorganised mess, and that those most affected by it (including bureaucrats) are incapable of fixing it.

Yes, there are also people selling immigration office appointments. If there is desperation, there is a business.
Not dumb at all; WSLg would actually work for linux applications, and in theory seems relatively painless, though I've never actually tried it. I think the guides I was looking at were pre-WSLg, where it was... a mess.

But it's kinda moot, because not all of the applications even have a linux version. Sourcetree is a great example: it's only available on windows and mac.

To complicate things further, because I move frequently between my laptop and my desktop, I have all of my source code in dropbox (including git, and yes, it's a shitshow, though I would like to change the way I have this set up because dropbox has a nasty habit of temporarily breaking git). And to complicate things _even further_, my old laptop is dying, and I'm replacing it with a macbook (and throwing ubuntu on the old one), so I'll have windows 10, mac, and linux all at the same time.

For the most part I make it work, but there are definitely days when I just want to throw them all out the window.
They seem to be doing perfectly fine?
To be fair, this is how most "advanced" economies operate. It's identical in Australia (although there the consulting companies run the sweatshops directly so they can skim more cream off the top). Same in the UK.
The interpretation in the book "Programmed Inequality", albeit specific to the UK, is that in the early days programming and adjacent tasks involved a lot of manual labor (punching cards, moving tapes around), for which companies employed women to do it as cheaply as possible.

When tech jobs switched to requiring fewer humans, but ones with much more responsibilities and the ability to make operational/strategic decisions and to contribute to the design of the systems as part of implementing them, then companies moved to hiring men.
As a keen chess player, although I prefer lichess, there are definitely lots of features that chess.com has that it doesn't. Lots of interesting variants for a start, and some pretty cool analysis tools.
A lot of the consensus there seems to come down to

1. the engine isn't stable and has breaking updates (why does that sound familiar...)

2. ECS is hard to learn and Bevy is too strict with ECS.

It's hard in the same way OOP is hard, I guess. But it's just that: a paradigm. It's harder to google because ECS is a specific paradigm for applications that want to follow data oriented design. If you don't care about that, then you lose all that benefit and google-ability for not much gain.

I guess that's just the state of FOSS game engines right now. People basically just want Unity/Unreal without the copporate overlords. But while oppressive, they also did fund the engineers to make those solutions so attractive to begin with. You'll inevitably get your hands dirty if you go of those smooth UE/Unity roads. Especially if you're choosing an up and coming language like Rust on top of all things.
You don't need to choose, Wordpress is already here and waits for you with open arms.
Yeah, I think the FSF and GNU are resting on their laurels and barely relevant.

So one of the core things for the FSF has been the GNU tools. Recently it's become trendy to rewrite stuff in Rust, and overall it seems like an excellent idea to have the core tooling of an OS being much harder to exploit, and often much more performant.

For instance ripgrep is a nice improvement on the classical grep, nushell is a better shell, exa is a better ls, and none of those is under the GPL.

There's also a project to do a straightforward rewrite of coreutils in Rust, and that is MIT licensed.

Where's the FSF's effort to modernize things and remain relevant?
>This is the key. The prosecutions were all "private prosecutions" by the post office, in which a private entity begins (and sometimes carries through to end) a prosecution _on behalf of the people_.

LLVM 17.0.1 Released
I'm not really sure I see what you're driving at. I mean yes, GNU's never been thaaat relevant to most people. That doesn't change that in the context of the OPs original point it's hard to see GNU as having done anything but lost ground in contemporary times. Which in turn makes it hard to see a way it'd be a path towards whatever salvation was being opined on. If the primary vehicle for GNU's propagation before was situations that saw it bundled with Linux we're now in a time where there's countless mainstream Linux devices and virtually none of them incorporate GNU.
A tax on the value of your building didn’t incentivize the construction of the building, and there is already a huge cost incentive to leave Manhattan. Costs there are already pretty high, and people only stay due to inertia and the higher incomes available there.

But you are asking the right type of question, which is how the equilibrium will change if we change the tax system.

> Let’s say land value taxes are implemented in New York today. Suddenly companies have a real incentive to leave…

Not necessarily. Note that implementing a land–value tax means removing other kinds of taxes while collecting the same amount of money overall.

Suppose two companies both want the same plot of land in the city you run, and both want the existing building. Suppose that one company makes twice the profit as the other on the same expenses. That company is the one that you would want to invite into your city (assuming you couldn’t get both, of course), because it will make the most effective use of the land. If there are no taxes on income, then that second company has more money to spend bidding up the price of the land, and thus to spend on the land–value tax. Thus the current owner will prefer to sell to the more profitable company, which is the exact result that the city as a whole wants.

With a flat income tax, the ratio of profits after taxes between these two businesses will be the same 2×. Each company has less money available to spend on land, but one will still be able to outbid the other.

But most income taxes are progressive, meaning that the tax rate goes up the higher your company’s income tax is. That reduces the ratio of profitability between these two companies, making it less likely that the more profitable one will be able to expand into your city. If you make the taxes progressive enough, then highly–profitable companies would never be able to enter your city at all, because they would have less money available than less–profitable ones.
I haven’t tried it, but according to reviews Starfield seems like a generic space soap opera version of No Man’s Sky with loading screens.

That is glorious. I would recommend that you post it as its own thread.
It would have seemed sort of reasonable in 2013 where the Wii U was clearly struggling and the 3DS was barely gaining decent traction but still lagged against the DS. In late 2020 it just seems sort of insane when the Switch had already beat the lifetime sales the Xbox One in 3 years and brushing up against 360 numbers, Animal Crossing had a launch bigger than Halo 3 IIRC and Mario Kart 8 was still trucking along regularly in the sales chart despite already being over a half decade on.
Easy question - use platforms from which you will be able to migrate in the future with the least amount of money and time wasted. Pick one where time to ditch the low code infra would be less than two years and using not more than half of your dev team staff.

Our project did it in about 2-3 years, rewriting hundreds of tests in the process, yay :)
They pay game studios, Microsoft is the publisher.

Nintendo does the same for many of their games as well. Smash is developed by Bandai Namco and Sora Lts, Paper Mario is developed by Intelligent Systems, Pokémon is developed by Game Freak. These companies have various connections with Nintendo, like Microsoft have with their publishing game studios.

Nintendo does develop their core IP in-house though.

Bevy is open-source, so there will not be any public GNM (or whatever they call the PS5 graphics API) bindings for playstation support.

Besides, for the scale of games currently coming out of Bevy, you should be able to use Vulkan to pipe your game into a PS port.
> The German authorities have no incitive to digitize and fix the broken bureaucracy because for one, in their mind there's nothing wrong with it because Germany is Europe's wealthiest country so it can never be wrong

This is not true. The head of the Berlin Ausländerbehörde is well aware of the issue and frequently says that we need to digitalize in front of the cameras.

According to contacts on the inside, they are operating at full capacity with a personel shortage and have zero slack to stop and fix things.

They have every incentive to fix things, not just out of sheer embarrassment, but because more and more people are suing the state for failure to act (Untätigkeit). I wanted to make this lawsuit process as seamless as possible, but it would not help anyone.
