Tried few times, nothing beats TextMate ergonomics. It's just a small things like the cursor will be in a place where it should be after autocompletions or closing brackets will align where they belongs to, but it makes huge difference for me

Pebble Time is still my favourite smartwatch design ever, I really hope the new one will have similar design (and yes, more like 1st one) but just bezel-to-bezel screen

Hetzner suspended the account of a non-profit org I voluntarily supported, without explaining the reason or giving us possibility to take our data out. The issue was resolved only after bringing it to the public space. Even there they tried to pretend we are not actually their customers first

What’s wrong with most comments?

If you’re in front of keyboard, and someone is saying what to type. Does this makes you an author of this code? Definitely no.

If you’re in front of keyboard, someone is saying what to type and you creatively rework what you hear. Does this makes you an author of this code? Like, you know, ChatGPT can make an existing code better, but this doesn’t mean ChatGPT wrote it. So mostly no

See, the programming job is not about typing characters to the code editor. It’s even not about choosing between different idioms or applying common algorithms or patterns. It’s about solving problems. That’s where like 90% of efforts going

You might say OP is not a true OSS developer because of solving own problems. But most OSS contributors are solving their problems, what a surprise. This is why OSS still exists.

You might say OP is a glory hunter. But in fact, he spent few days solving the problem and then the authorship was just stolen by rewriting the solution. It’s normal to demand a proper authorship of the work you’ve done

It’s not about pacemakers at all here for the same exact reason you described: if you’re not able to update firmware, you’re able to update underlying OS as well

The problem here is when you sell LTS solutions for $10M thinking you can pay $1000 for keeping your solution afloat for two decades.

It doesn’t work this way. Operation systems as well as frameworks and runtimes, are constantly changing, because the industry is constantly moving forward. The only way to keep up is to constantly (and regularly) update YOUR software too (and plan the budgets accordingly). It’s your responsibility to fulfil your obligation.

After all, you can still run an up to date Linux (or better NetBSD) on a very old hardware, the problem is that you didn’t update your software regularly to just keep up with changing API/ABI, means didn’t invested too much on a longevity of your product

“We produce an extremely expensive hardware and bill millions for consulting and support but don’t want to spend a single dollar to update a firmware, so now, dear OSS developer, it’s your responsibility to keep my solutions functional for the half of your career years”

Did I read this correctly?

There is a huge difference between "[potentially] can kill innocents" and "deliberately kill civilians every day".

There is a lot of conflicts have been in the last 70 years indeed, but author (and your cite) says: "does not take similar measures against other countries who wage wars which have caused way more deaths and displacement of individuals" and I'm pointing that this is a false statement, because not author nor you can't name any one

I'm from east Ukraine. Don't even try to tell me

Can you name any war which caused the "way more deaths and displacement of individuals" since WW2? Can you name a country which commit genocide on a state level? Can you name a country which committed at least half of war crimes committed during last 1.5 years? Have you seen at least one world leader or government official who openly declare the target of eliminating some nation's existence?

The author is russian, have no more questions here

The mentioned Baikal company is a supplier for russian army. The guy behind the patch every morning go to the work, knowing his job will help to launch the missiles to the Ukrainian cities killing children. Other IT companies participate as well: Yandex is a part of state propaganda machine, Kaspersky is working with FSB and military, etc. All their workers know what they are working on.

Just a part of the story: https://twitter.com/EliotHiggins/status/1584607815968395264 — this is all just a regular "Smart IT people"

What is happening here is whitewashing a genocide machine many of russians are part of

You must be ignorant as hell. Russia opens a front? Really? Few millions people was forcefully deported. Children are separated from their parents. Filtration camps on occupied territories. Mass executions of civilians in Bucha, Borodyanka, Vorzel and other cities. Child rapes. Everyday’s indiscriminate shelling of civilian infrastructure with a rocket artillery. Latest shelling of the largest nuclear plant in Europe.

Nothing different? Really?

Author stated: “And there isn't much left to account for, just the case, the motherboard, and the cooling. None of those come close to explaining away all the additional cost”

Okay: - Xeon W compatible motherboard: ~$700-750 - E-ATX case with a good airflow: ~$200-300 - Quiet cpu fan (not server one): ~$70 - Keyboard/Mouse: ~$50-100 - OS: $199

After some simple calculation we may see a little bit increased estimated price about $3000 which is not so impressive as $1739 right?

This is a “budget” setup compared to Apple’s “luxury” components like highly extensible custom motherboard with T2, Thunderbolt 3 etc., large, beautiful aluminum case with an excelent airflow and so on.

Had Apple a leeway space to lower the price? Of course yes, but it’s definitely not $4200, i’d say like $500-1000. Should Apple do this? No. I see no reason for price drop, while competitors like Dell and Asus offers more expensive and less featured workstations.

I agree, but this is not an RCE

It was 7 years ago. We have all new patrol police, new government services, etc. Of course corruption still here, but things are changing. Hope you will visit this year's PyCon to ensure

Any examples of unusual unsafe conditions in Kyiv?
