This sounds more like a complaint about day-to-day work as a developer and less about technology in general. I can certainly relate, though. I personally believe that one of the biggest lies about professional life is that of "working

I like my manager and I like our very simple workflow. I do, however, _strongly dislike_ Jira's UI. It's almost as slow and broken as Confluence's UI, and that's saying something.

I don't think we really disagree, but I might be mistaken. > large scale FOSS came first FOSS, let alone large scale FOSS, appeared well into a long period of western imperial surplus and cheap fuel, in a unipolar world where the US

Large scale FOSS success is dependant on fiscal surplus from non-FOSS ventures and the ability of the US empire to globally enforce related legal aspects (licensing). The article correctly states that the former is diminishing. Like it or n

I really resent Blow's talk, because while his points are mostly valid, the "facts" he presents to support his claims are poorly selected; some of them are outright lies. Five nines refers to overall system availability and i

Hey, cool! Gonna have to check this out. Can it be used for E.G. selecting/cutting/pasting/navigating text in Acme as well?

by arexxbifs 4y ago
I think it'd be easier to just implement better keyboard support in E.G. Acme and, to a lesser extent, the terminal. :) Side note: Inserting text using a debugger shouldn't be necessary. Everything really is a file, including Acme

I'm not sure what an input router is, but the concept of mouse chording is absolutely an inherent property of Plan 9/9front and Acme. To the best of my knowledge you cannot mark, cut, copy or paste text at all using the keyboard.

I'd say the UI/UX actually isn't that good, period. "Everything is actually really a file this time", plumbing, acme and rio are all very cool and powerful concepts, as is the idea that we shouldn't have to car

They also, among other things, raised interest rates and taxes, severely cut public expenditure, legally enforced balanced budgets and cut tariffs by half. It was a pretty thorough plan.
