WTF? They started 30 years ago and still on an 32bit architecture nobody cares anymore?
Beside that, I really don't get the point of all this, seriously. Not from a technological benefit, be warned, but from a user perspective the benefit is almost intangible. Why should the average sysadmin care? Linux is a rock solid kernel that does everything, what is the niche that Hurd is filling?
Trust me, nobody would have complained for "a pizza with tomato, mozzarella and garlic". A "pizza margherita with garlic" is a very different thing.
A foreigner ordering margherita with garlic is violating our sense of taste and altering a template that doesn't allow such distorsions.
As a counter example, you can add without problems an egg on a margherita; it becomes a "Bismark pizza", but it's fine since the egg plays well with tomato and mozzarella. Any modification that is an enhancement, rather than a distorsion, is alway welcomed.
Italian fast food usually is squared sliced pizza that you eat standing in the shop, or on the go. It's fast because it is continuously produced and therefore, by the time you walk in, it's always already available, steamming and waiting to be cut.
Take away round pizzas usually take more because the are made JIT for you and are considered more of a way to have regular dinner at home without cooking.
The only way out from this catch22 would be to order a pizza with tomato, mozzarella and garlic, explicitly omitting any "base template" from which to start
The only exception is the chocolate, but it's allowed in stuffed pizza only.
Bad vhost?
Please note the bad collision detection at 0:51 when the player walks through the cube, right as the speaker says that.
Lol.
The problem is not if it happens, the problem is that our industry still sucks a lot.
Unless you are producing libraries or frameworks, management don't care about internals of software. It's an engineers' problem next time they ask for a modification. Management care about having their problems solved. That's why relations between management and engineers are so notoriously dysfunctional: engineers want to produce art, while management wants to sell stuff to customers.
A manager inspecting a code? Really? A manager congratulating with engineers for releasing a half-working software while going off budget? Seriously? Managers hate engineers as much an normal people hate lawyers: they make everything sound way too complicated to squeeze more comfort zone to roam into.
Lone cowboy programmers that can conjure working stuff in a minimum time are praised by management, and insulted by colleagues.
And, since this parable was probably written by a disgruntled, good scholar engineer, I think this whole story is a little biased...
