A core part of an engineers job is including thinking about cost in what they do.

> PS: In practice if your project funded by publisher it means that you as developer will make less money from a game than Valve. So that essentially means a publisher takes even more than valve, while doing almost nothing.

I didn't refuse, I gave a very specific answer, namely that debians package manager can brick your system at any time because there are literally no safety mechanisms. That is the "specific architectural issues" I'm talk

"welcome to IT world" is just dismissive and needlessly aggravating. Just because systems can break doesn’t mean we should throw up our hands and accept the terrible state Debian package management is in. Debian-style package mana

running apt install can brick your system in both large ways, it just stops booting. Or small ways, breaking existing packages or a myriad of other ways. On the one hand this is the fault of apt itself. It allows package scripts to do way t

I used Stable and SID. The reason I mixed Debian and Ubuntu is because I perceive the root of shittiness to be apt and how it can, and often does, poison your system.

No it's not. There is a even a wikipedia page for it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_moat A moat is protection so you can keep your ARR up or increase it over years. Arguably only google have a moat with t

I still don't understand how people can run Debian/Ubuntu. Every single time I have tried my environment in the span of a few months turns into a wet ball of mud with various levels of breakages. It's honestly astounding how

For me this is all about team size. It works if you have small teams, maybe max 6 people. But anything above 8-10 this is a total no go. Because management tasks just are not able to be done well at that point.

How do you suppose people in those times would even meet some love interest in a far away place, aka the next town over?

Sure it can be zero. It can even be negative. As larger player numbers, including piracy, are a natural form of marketing. That means it's not hard to see this additional marketing could lead to larger sales figures compared to if pira

Yeah that's mostly a US problem. Not a Healthcare problem in general.

You can hopefully get emotional support from your loved ones. If not a coach seems much more appropriate.

I would personally vastly, vastly prefer to go to a robot doctor, who diagnoses, treats and nurses me. What exactly do I need from a human here? Except of course being the one making the system.

In Germany I learned module arithmetic at something like 13 years old in high school. I also find unsigned much more intuitive and in my code only use sized signed when I absolutely have to. Which is not often. Only in languages that offer

Rust is evolving too fast? Rust is evolving EXTREMELY slowly. I dare say even slower than C++ or Python.

If you have unmotivated employees then using Go will only exacerbate the shortcomings it has. Cutting corners is much easier in Go than it is in Rust. But in general it's true, if you want a piece of code released a bit faster but spen

I cant really agree on Rust. It does take a bit more time to write the same code in rust vs go. But in my experience the code is much more likely to be incorrect in go than it is in rust. Which over longer periods means rust is easier to ma

pgbackrest also was part of an organization from what I understood from the post. The organization got acquired. I don't see how sqlite is shielded (or any project really). They could get acquired. They could not have enough customers.

by rowanG077 6mo ago
I interpreted it as the problem being that the technology may end up unsupported. I mean you can also keep using pgbackrest now. It's not like the code is gone.

Why does sqlite not suffer from the same risk?

Humans also don't follow given rules. Or we wouldn't need jail. We wouldn't need any security. We wouldn't need even user accounts.

You are derailing this discussion by keep moving it to: "This is what the world should be like", and no one is disagreeing with that here. This is not what anything I said is about.

I agree it would be much better if online culture improved, and I don’t think anyone would argue against that. The difficulty is that change at that scale tends to be slow and unpredictable, on the order of decades, so you can't rely o

Considering that M1 and M2 are almost the same architecturally isn't that exactly what they are doing? M3 are two new contributors who decided they wanted that.

This is not a dichotomy. It's not healthy to take random online comments to heart so much. It's also bad to make such ridiculous comments. Both can be true at the same time.

Looking at: https://stats.asahilinux.org/ there is still a pretty large userbase who are so interested in it they go this route. I imagine that count would easily 10x if it would be officially supported. Those numbers are n
