Sure. And how do you pay? I mean, really. You're forced to create an account, then link a payment method (PayPal and/or Visa/Mastercard may or may not be supported, Apple Pay almost never is). Sometimes you also have to link

Wow that sounds like the absolute worst. My condolences. In projects I manage I even try not to use containers for the service being developed. (Only for its dependencies.) Everything that affects cycle times must go. That being said, you s

Still a problem irrespective of algorithms used. I recently set up an account on a website, letting my password manager do its thing. Couldn’t log in. Turns out the password was too long (20 chars when 16 were allowed) and was silently trun

Mobile games, especially those with microtransactions. They're highly incentivized to offer a satisfying user interface. So as to get more money, of course.

Sensirion has the SCD40, which appears to be based on the same principle. It's much cheaper than the SCD30.

Oh, user separation is not a security boundary? I was not aware! Let’s all work as root then! /s The fact that this was the norm on single-user Windows workstations until Windows Vista is astonishing, to say the least. How anyone cou

If it has a performance impact, that's not on Windows but the software. Many games are really really badly made software, so that's not surprising. UAC is the single greatest security improvement Microsoft ever created.

Blocked by Sophos (at work) because “ParkedDomain”. I fucking love this timeline.

I very much dispute the claim that devs are not allowed to think big. It’s just that they take the easy way out. After all, others are taking care of the visual design, requirements engineering, reporting, controlling and whatnot, right? It

Though my employer certainly could be categorized as a feature factory (individual software development), we kind of sell the opposite: Sustainable development producing software which can be changed easily. There's only direct monetar

The perceived misery you describe I feel is self-inflicted. Many devs "below" me have become entirely disconnected from customer needs, instead only focusing on "interesting" dev problems. Why do developers only work on

And how do you propose Regular Joe procure a license? Not trying to be snide, but LTSC is an enterprise product that is only available with volume licensing. So unless you want to pirate it…

I think that's fine, though maybe surprising. Regular PCs don't have redundant power at all and we still update their firmware all the time.

Dunno if you’re aware, but there’s also Fedora’s Atomic Desktop, which is actually more similar to Steam OS, as far as I can tell. Built on top is Universal Blue, which includes an actual Steam OS remix called “Bazzite”. Conceptually, it is

Exactly this. Not only would they not know the tech challenges, they also wouldn’t know the business/domain challenges.

Can WinDirStat deal with hard links nowadays? Windows uses them extensively in the WinSxX folder and possibly elsewhere.

I've opened a few bugs, mostly surrounding extensions. Bugs from the XUL days still exist today, even though the UI is different and the API is different and everything. It is somewhat astonishing. I filed most of them over 10 years ag

Why blame anyone at all? Did everyone work to the best of their knowledge and beliefs? If not, why? And if they did, how are they to blame? I make incorrect decisions all the time. I will continue to make them. Because I do not shy from mak

Haha, oh yes. Ever had a project where, at some point, the (key) users said “but Excel”? Well, you better listen to them. Sure it may be great for the layperson to edit a building’s layout visually. But know what? The expect just wants to e

Just curious: Why not use GitLab Community Edition? At least for me, it had everything I wanted. (Due to feature creep, I no longer use it.)

Um, yeah, that's… IMHO exactly where an MVP is supposed to end up. The “VP” says that.

I may not have communicated this well enough. I wasn't referring to a multi-step process where I hand over the solution in between. I was referring to getting good at making in work, right and fast in one step (at least as far as the c

I don't see how that's a problem. It's not for everyone, yes, but I like it a lot. Talking directly to the customer allows me to create exactly what the customer needs, without any convoluted process. If that's not for y

I’ve had the opportunity to work with lots of mechanical engineering corps to date, and I can confidently tell you: Even if they had some platonic ideal, they would never be able to follow through. The mediocrity of their software developme

Sounds like you might be better suited for working at a company that doesn’t do products but rather projects for others. Plenty of architecting to go around. Any if you get to work on enough new projects, you actually get the chance to make

Thanks, that's interesting. It allows one to stick to "regular Linux filesystems", which is probably a good thing.
