"and better local control over the code powering the whole thing" I am finding it hard to think the city would have engineers releasing their own Kernel.

"and better local control over the code powering the whole thing"
I am finding it hard to think the city would have engineers releasing their own Kernel.
- netsharc 6y agoThat could just mean having control away from "Critical bug in Windows, install these patches right now!" to "Critical bug found on the kernel, here's the diff patch that you can analyze so you can be sure it won't break other things."...
- sn_master 6y agoNot sure why the downvites, but do cities really want to invest in software engineers with enough background to analyze software patches, compile and deploy them vs regular IT technicians who can do the same job at fraction of the effort/salary and be replaced far more easily ? I am genuinely curious why would someone think that's an advantage. Please give some explanation atleast after the downvote.
