What did you find challenging to read, out of interest? I figured a visible graph key to explain the colours could have been useful, although depending on location that could detract from the space available to render the datapoints. (the d

What you've said is, in my opinion, likely to be a difference between the technology companies that become tomorrow's infrastructure and the ones that disappear (even if it takes decades). As you say, the default tendency in many

Cloud gaming notably absent from the list of predictions here. Will, at some point, gaming support on Linux reach a level where it's cheap and cost-effective to use as the host operating system for gaming instances?

Alternatively we could argue that the HN realm is some kind of weird partially-albeit-loosely rules-based environment that doesn't represent reality more than superficially, and that the little arrows, karma counting, and ladder-climbi

Other opinions are possible though, I suppose. Perhaps we should all be called out on our faults, and that would somehow lead to a more accurate and error-free existence. And it's possible that that is, already, abstractly, somehow w

Ok - it's possible that I was commenting outside the guidelines[1], which would be a fair reason to downvote. If that wasn't the case, then please instead ask for clarification next time - people are generally fairly forthcoming a

Yep, a similar area. I don't think they state that machine learning is incompatible, though? From your first link: the (experimental, work-in-progress) policy document is a worthwhile read: https://salsa.debian.org/dee

That's good input, thanks. I had submitted a reply as a question, but now wonder if I should rephrase it as a statement to be on the safe side: It could be very important for the containment (for lack of a better term; I'm not fa

There's a kind of ecosystem resilience that could be improved (and I think gradually is improving) here. We have utilities to determine whether a package is backwards-compatible, as far as we know -- unit tests, QA tests, integration t

It can scale, and I'd wager that it will. There is -- or should in future be -- a far larger number of software developers than the number of components that are required to compose the functionality that everyone needs and desires, a

Congratulations on finding something you enjoy (I hope?) - honing your craft should prove to be a valuable way to spend your time. I have an opinion based on the idea that we each market our own skills and talents, and that that is what l
