An yet the unemployment numbers are as they are, because even when wanting to get them, those jobs aren't made available due to ridiculous hiring practices, or any other set of reasons that leave empty slots.

As someone that as teenager observe traditional shoe factories being automated away, or the production being sent offshore, the robot factory can function with 10% of the original staff, or even less. Now for the sake of argument multiply t

Doesn't help if in the end most GUI applications even on Linux, are Electron junk like this weather app, as this lack of respect for the user is everywhere. "I know web, I deliver packaged web".

Yeah, hence why for one kind of like the way RAM prices are going, maybe it forces the industry to re-learn best practices and "bio-programming" instead of "fast-food programming".

Which is what OSes implemented in system languages with automatic memory management usually do, it is an OS service. Oberon example, https://people.inf.ethz.ch/wirth/ProjectOberon/Sources/Kerne... Active Ober

Nope, thanks to AMD giving Mantle to Khronos, Vulkan actually happened, otherwise there would be no Vulkan now, they would still be arguing about OpenGL vNext on those committee meetings.

Which GNU OS was the point, there isn't any GNU OS, unless we talk about Hurd I guess. That ABI is known for UNIX systems yes, although it isn't uniformly implemented, and again comes back to the whole OS written in C, like UNIX n

Android uses the Linux kernel as implementation detail, it could be changed with Zircon if Google cared, bionic is partially POSIX, only the required for ISO C, ISO C++, ART and NDK native APIs is exposed. 80% of Android APIs are exposed vi

As someone that has survived a few layoffs rounds, not really, get on bench for a couple of months due to smaller team sizes, and better use the free time to polish the CV.

Here is a secret, you don't need containers for server software, we have been doing it for decades. Yes there are ways to bind to server ports with official APIs, example can be requested to Fable, Claude, or whoever you feel like it.

Last time I checked there are plenty of server software written in those languages.

Sure it would, Windows XP 64 bits was alreary on Itanium, and NT versions for PowerPC and MIPS were already dead by then.

Which is why many agencies are now delivering more with less, and still there are folks saying that won't happen to them.

Yes, just like early optimising compilers eventually got their heuristics. Many still haven't understood that dynamic compilers, and machine learning based optimisations are equally not deterministic, which is why benchmarks are hard

Xenix supported the Lisa, and Excel was born on the Mac Classic.

Which most likely wasn't predictable for him. FPGAs were never that maker friendly, due to the whole ecosystem.

It is incredible the amount of gimmicks some folks will go through, even if it was to stay with reuse Android phone story, Java and Kotlin as regular Android app already provide all the juice required to do the job.

There were toilets with bookshelves with magazines and such, even. I really don't get this protective culture that seems so widespread in current times.

Well, I have been well served by I.G. Metal, by working in industries they also covered. Also I have yet to meet anyone doing agency work, that started as Azubi, Quereinsteiger, BWL,... and would sign any document or call themselves Enginee

And only exists in first place because AMD offered Mantle to Khronos, otherwise they would probably be discussing how OpenGL vNext would look like to this day. While flohofwoe certainly knows this, for the others, "Khronos is free to t

I never spent much time with the whole NoSQL movement, it always seemed something out of people that don't get how to optimise SQL queries, or suffer from SQL allergy, only to reinvent it badly in custom languages.

I see there that you also created a workaround for the Bologna changes like we did, the 5 versus 3 years.
