well, it's text-editor based and scores of people worked with similar systems successfully without being a nerd before Microsoft and IBM started to push for WYSIWIG because you could sell a new UI for that every year or two (and now th

seems like consultants are aiming right for the three 9s, but it's the cloud, so I guess 2 nines are ok eventually.

Best idea would probably be a download option for good, oldfashioned XML and providing a nice XLST-stylesheet for transformation into HTML/processing to pdf. This approach would ensure that you still can reliably save/read the con

sorry for the negative vibes, but this looks a lot like some fake buzz to create some credible BMW-traineed profiles – none of the profiles linked with the project is older than 5 days...

public broadcast TV around here has everything up for free download in 720p some time around broadcasting. So you basically only have to decide if you ever want to watch something and can grab it.

Babylon Berlin is produced by Sky and got heavy investment from public stations. The rest is certainly nice for a specific crowd, but nothing special either.

I can see a lot of non-local (but still European) stuff in Europe too, fully synchronized, in public TV, which I have to pay (...) anyways. And it's the same shallow, non-distinguishable, mass-market ready stuff like 90% of Netflix&#x2

And it comes from a time, where a 2MB-webpage is considered acceptable. The whole idea of venvs is basically still considering some reuse. If you shout out loud "SCREW YOU LIBRARY REUSE", then npm is perfect of course...

maybe for web-development and ML. For my core scientific workflows I have about, uuuh, 10(?) libraries. And those are generally stable enough to upgrade 1 without breaking the other. Seems like the problem is with the users.

and still those movies would have been produced anyway, because they come with a nametag. maybe not with glorious sets and co, but with some direction. compare that to all the telenovela/80s-B-Movie-style crap, which makes up 80% of th

one movie. but they're not selling you one movie for ten-ish $s? They sell you a big package of crappy and less crappy TV-shows. Basically about the same as public TV here (Europe)

but you know what: for Jeff Bezos it doesn't work out, so there has to be something wrong... Given that: I'm getting tired of Netflix's concept of producing a lot of crappy shows for regional markets - if I'd like to hav

Second that for Germany (though we are well known for our low-wage-sector allowing us to export a lot for a developed country). In addition a good lot of people working there are kids, which (like in most services) is quite an unfair compet

you could use some lightweight rootless containers: I wrapped bubblewrap in a small python-program parsing a YAML-configuration (which mirrors my hosts rootfs and provides "topical" homes: node, python, scientific stuff), but ther

I pay around 10USD for the VPS hosting my personal email and "cloud" services and I'm fairly confident that I could run a mastodon instance there too. Of course I'm cheating here on the management/personel cost, but

would you mind to elaborate how a centralized VPN-service is helping against suppression of the internet as a channel? Once your DNS/servers are gone, your VPN is gone, thus your users have to fall back to metadata collection by their

it would be pricey if customers still have to pay for exorbitant salaries, payout of investors, exponential growth and moonshot-projects. That way you end up with the 10 USD Jimmy Wales is charging. If you strip all this and just make an ol

the point is that the classic virtualenv does not take care of different base distributions (3.5,3.6,3.7...). You have to install them yourselves and switch them in your PATH before setting up a virtualenv. if this is too much "concept

if the conceptual load of having a large collection of binaries separately from your project (and ready for reuse!) is that high, you probably should use something else. I wonder how C/C++ people just manage this hardship... (and for a
