As I mentioned, this is similar to a workflow we used at Canonical ~15 years ago with bzr-pipeline plugin for bzr. Except that you tried not to divide it by technical aspect (DB changes vs API vs frontend) bit instead into smaller, semantic

I dislike them reinforcing the component approach to delivering work through their examples, like the top screenshot showing "database schema changes", "api changes" and "frontend implementation" as separate br

I went with a multi-split central AC: despite the higher cost, it is generally a usability mess. You can only run one mode for all rooms, and while that sounds reasonable, I have one tiny storage room that houses my old dual Xeon heater, wh

Not in US, but on top of no room for air ducts, running long copper lines (for both mini split and multi-split units) tends to be expensive (price of copper). You also need to guide condensation out, so either downward piping or (expensive)

Does the radiant heat not increase the room temperature, thus affecting the indoor temp sensor? Combining that input with outdoor temperature (and whole weather stations) is totally done. Similarly, floor heating systems measure temperature

I would say that creativity is crucial to a good , working compromise. You do not need much creativity for a bad one (it sounds like you are focusing on that type of compromise). I am not saying that the "original" definition

I do not think anyone disagrees with that — ideally, you get two ideas to meet and satisfy them completely (or two people to agree on the solution working for them both). But even a new idea comes from someone , and you might still have e

Some might actually say that they found "a perfect compromise" where both use-cases are served well — this seems to be very much a linguistic preference today, regardless of the fact that "compromise" originally came

You are obviously using a newly defined phrase "mutual preference" which does not seem to be familiar to most people and a quick search does not bring anything of value for me (there is "mutual preference method", but th

Does not your entire comment rely on a very particular ("original") definition of the word compromise — so, uhm, on "choice of words"?
133.
by necovek 3mo ago
I believe people are focusing on that because that's a traditional meaning of the word — Merriam-Webster uses "concession" in 2 out of 3 definitions. I would say that an impersonal "compromise" was more of a figure

Compromise is one technique in doing optimization: as someone mentioned, you could be maximizing a known good property of your product with no ill-effects on any other property. But you might be optimizing an overall experience for two nee

I disagree, we are faced with "true dilemmas" every day numerous times, not even limited to work and creation — e.g. you might be going to a shop to buy crackers, and while you have a preferred brand, a new entrant might be half t

We are talking here about someone at least technically savvy who would know if they are of interest or not (ok, maybe not). They'd also be able to monitor their outgoing traffic. We are also not talking about a potential Russian produ

That is certainly a different matter: "handing over domestic surveillance" vs enabling a foreign company to run a node on your network. However, that is mostly about trusting or not trusting someone's business. Eg. DJI drones

Being more comfortable with a foreign company compared to a domestic one does not suggest you should be comfortable with either ;)

by necovek 3mo ago
As an — I am guessing — American, you should feel more comfortable with handing over your domestic surveillance to Russia or China than to a US-based company. They absolutely have no interest in your domestic matters, nor do they have a c

Yes, but the point is that getting to a different representation from a natural one (eg. binary one with computers or a decimal one for human use) is going to have some "external" overhead which is likely to negate the savings. Ye

As long as you have a computer that can run unsigned software, or software signed by yourself, this won't come to Linux as non-optional features: you can always recompile your kernel removing things you do not want like this.
