The OS is no longer a product they care about. Brings no money compared to Azure.

I remember a Windows update pushed through SBS that bricked all machines in company overnight. Boot up to bsod. Was that Windows 7?

Been using matrix for years now. Even operating a server for a small community. It is slightly more involved for regular users though so that is not the best but otherwise works. Setting up your own federated instance is quite simple, there is an Ansible playbook around to make it even easier. You could even isolate it and have it only for your org. From what I know there is some traction to get it adopted in a bunch of agencies eu-wide.

LoRa is not fast enough?

Sounds like it fills the same niche as LoRa. Never heard of it though, thanks.

I wonder how many people died of heart attack when they saw this.

On the other hand having 10 times as many bridges could prove to be an impossibility when maintenance costs come knocking.

Iirc in java I managed to parse those just fine. Ages ago though.

I also recall actually seeing some web pages somewhere using semicolon, possibly IBM stuff.

School system was created to increase productivity.

It is also and equalizer. Unschooled kids from bad backgrounds now start even lower.

Just ban the phones from schools. Because with that you cannot compete. Instant gratification vs hard work?

As you yourself said. Your load is so light you keep it in free tier. Their entire business model is for them to capture you while your load is light and then when you scale the price goes up.

Leaking school or medical record can have serious personal consequences that cannot even be enumerated

Haha I love explaining things. It gets challenging and sometimes you have to stop the train...

What kills me is when I have to convince them of sometand they just are incapable of listening to any kind of reasoning. Sometimes you can let it slide but some issues are just too big like road crossing for example.

I find smelly things easy to deal with as the solution is clear and the path to it is simple.

Other problems may not have a clear path to solution and are not as simple.

This.

And alternatively just making hydrogen but storage is a problem with that.

So simple with negative peak energy prices...

Just moved our stuff from gitlab to forgejo. Gitlab is fine. Just too much stuff for a small org. And I hated the upgrades. And they kept adding things and none of those were what I wanted :) guess a different audience or something. very good to have some options though!

Oh I don't know. It's a vision of java if java tried to supplant C and not C++.

I guess jit is bad for a micro service that scales constantly or a lambda. But java does have all of these options now. They just are not useful for most people.

I disagree about rust.

I would say Rust is a successor to C/C++ for specific use cases.

No real successor to java yet so just keep using it, works fine and has finally evolved.

Point of java was always ease of use. Rust is... Not so.

Maybe golang is kind of an Evolution but into a very specific slightly different direction.

I once found a very interesting definition of engineering. It is about making something that just barely does the job. Doing it better costs more usually and doing it worse costs lives.

Not much different in software. There is always many ways of solving problems and that is typical of any engineering. Contrary to sciences.

Trying to reduce idle power use of a simple esp32 based project I did a while back... Yeah it is indeed tricky. Apple having full control of their hardware supply chain, firmware and software helps a ton. And PC standardization issues do no good either.

On the other hand framework is actually in a good position to do something about it. Similar to valve. I think they do have more control than a regular PC vendor when also using Linux ad they have a very limited portfolio of devices and can actually upstream software fixes.

Ah ofc I forgot. But iirc not everything works and battery life will probably suck, no? So not really a consideration in this case of price comparison. It is an option though :)

Personally I also can't stand the exterior design, albeit overall hardware of MBP is good. Guess if I land an old MBP this is what I'd do with it.

Does MBP run Linux? That would be the selling point for me ... But I guess I am not in a big group.

Also MBP is not really repairable at all.

Or just let us set our age in the OS profile? Works for adults and kids.

Best hiring systems I saw were when actual engineers hiring for their team were doing the bulk. You get a gauge of what you can expect and them too.

There was some cheat software that did the same back in the windows 9x/XP days. Dont remember the name but there were many I am sure.

Density is not that important. It's the distribution. Japan for example has most of the population concentrated close to coast.

Italy has a few major population centers south of dome but sparsely populated otherwise.

And so on...

Very well hidden. Ugh. So close to a really good solution but ofc there is always a rider somewhere.

As a parent this is perfect. I am baffled why this is not a standard yet. So setting an account age in Netflix works but the child can access anything. Make new accounts even. So I have to block half the internet. Somehow. On a shared computer. And all companies would have to get your ID and track that. It's crazy.

This compromises 0 privacy until it requires an ID. EU solution actually does and only supports specific devices.

Just make your OS say you are 99.

This is all fine until they put some Id verification in. Then anything open is cooked.

Well let's postulate parent set age on that up Ubuntu account to 13. Pornhub will query browser spi, which will query os API. Very elegant.

Ofc as soon as you give your child root access it is over but that is on you
