> Why do people focus so much on finding scapegoats? I, for one, am not trying to find scapegoats or go on a witchhunt. But managers are paid a lot of money to take responsibility. Yes, that's an old school thought, responsibility.

Because they make money by that. Sometimes simple answers are not only elegant, but capture the essence of a problem.

AI is the average of all programmers. It's just that many (I guess that includes me? :D) assumed that they are better than the actually were.

I assume it's the idea that initially you wrote machine code, later assembly and then the "high level languages" started to gain traction. And for each iteration there were scepticals... But I am curious myself, what OP meant

Holy f*ck... you had me there for a moment. I thought they would end the top level .name domain. Everything business related runs over such a domain. So I totally get you! It's like someone pulled the ruck from under your feet.

The last time I was in the US - a couple of decades ago, I admit - people were aghast that we walked to a store just a few hundred meters away. 3 people stopped and asked whether they can drive us somewhere... I mean, super friendly people,

When I was a kid, about 3 decades ago, walking to school was a blast. I had so much fun going there and going back on foot. So much that when I was a teenager and my mother drove by my school one day and decided to pick me up, I was super u

The same is true about FP, just that it doesn't promise this. I agree with the reality.

OOP exists to add a quadrillion of layers to otherwise perfectly understandable business code in an attempt to obfuscate meaning and intent and guard against malicious extraction of valuable trade secrets. Oh, it also helps me to pay my bil

Absolutely. Like I agree with most everything he says and I like to optimise my own software, but for my day to day jobs and contracts it's simply not feasible. That level of performance and rigor is not what is demanded nor paid or ap

First off: I am aware that Linux runs on much more than desktop PCs. I am using it exclusively and since many decades. I was specifically asking for desktop usage though, because that's what I am mostly working with. If that point didn

I asked specifically for a desktop. > I am genuinely interested as I've never even considered using HDMI for my Desktop. Sorry if that didn't come across. English isn't my first language

by OtomotO 1mo ago
Okay, so ELI 5 why I would now use HDMI instead of DP? All my monitors support DP, my GPU has more ports for DP ... I am genuinely interested as I've never even considered using HDMI for my Desktop.

I am working for small companies, for medium sized companies and for huge behemoths. None (apart from one customer as I said) has their code on GitHub. The big ones because of trade secrets. Which is ironic, because most of them use Microso

You know, I am not employed. I have little time in my day to spend with my daughter. But I also have responsibilities. And one client has decided to bet on github. It's the only client I've ever worked with who has their code on g

I've asked around in my circles, because I am genuinely interested: Everyone not working in startup space IS hosting their own instances. Hell, even I do it.

Just in the US. I have ONE European client... ONE of dozens who use GitHub. EVERY other client I've ever worked with used their own gitforge or at least bitbucket...

by OtomotO 1mo ago
I have one client that relies on github. Just one, out of dozens I've worked with over the years. It's just a constant pain in the ass. Wherever I have anything to say I prefer ANY other gitforge over this piece of shit.

If a site doesn't work, I disagree. It should. The web is becoming a monopoly anyway... a contradiction to what web once meant.

China thinks long-term, the US administration, especially the current one doesn't. And who is to blame them (or to hold them accountable)? Some won't live long-term... I mean, being 80 and fat, what are the chances...
