Do Linux users installing software actually have a "discovery problem"? The usual solution is to go to google.com and find in-depth information on the options available for a given class of software, with user reviews, notes on st

In the modern gaming market, GMod is akin to shooting up in the middle of a crowded playground. I'd wager Garry's next game will be no different. If it doesn't succeed, I can pretty much guarantee that the sausage men will no

FreeBSD is focused on the same market Linux is. It will probably give you the least trouble in terms of software and hardware compatibility. OpenBSD is "the way things should be" according to a certain group of people. Generally f

Amazon does not dominate the market that McMaster-Carr exists in. It's not even in the running. If you attempted to use Amazon for the type of project McMaster-Carr exists to support, you're going to get laughed at at best. MMC&#x

I'm a bit confused as to how people have so much trouble "getting" this. I might even go as far to say that the whole thing is uniquely low-brow. It's like a realization of a kid thinking "what if there was a skate

Farmers know absurd amounts about the fertilizer they're using. Frankly, they probably know more about any given facet of the modern world than the average person. Having to pull multi-million dollar lines of credit and constantly stay

I'm currently in an adjacent industry and used a variety of CAD packages in previous work. What you're suggesting is noble, but not really feasible. If you want specifics (and there's a lot of them), let me know and I can sho

There's a lot of grumbling in here from people that I have to assume don't understand what Fusion 360 is. This was always an uncomfortably cloud-based product. You cannot save files locally with this package. This decision isn

They don't, and this is very cheap as far as software like this goes.

There is no reason a living language can't be a fossilized relic. French has the fairly conservative French Academy. The German case system as you would learn it from a textbook has been kept on life support by academics and formal use

You're not making any sense. The original post implied that they didn't like communist art, not that they didn't like communism. Even if they were saying that they didn't like communism, fascism is not the only alternati

What's with the fascist art jab? The parent was asking about socialist/communist art without making any comment on the politics of it. Why are you implying they would like fascist art in particular?

We don't accommodate it because various makes of batteries have wildly different characteristics and applications, but all of them have a bad safety profile. For us, it's fine. For the general public, not so much.

The art students with minimal coding experience would take FreeRTOS ten times out of ten over trying to figure out what a compare match timer is, what an interrupt is, how bitwise operations work, etc. The OP was dead-on and I'd bet mo

Padauk makes them (or at least did), and calls them FPPAs. These are the same folks that brought you those infamous 3-cent-at-single-quantities OTP microcontrollers, so they're probably not for the faint of heart, but what you're

It's a lot more like buying a board planing robot cell, replacing the robot with a human operator because you couldn't get a teach pendant for it, replacing the automated part loading/unloading because you're now running

This isn't just market segmentation. It's a frustrating, recurring theme among Japanese hardware manufacturers where great products are negatively impacted or outright hamstrung by shit software support. I run into it in embedded

No snark intended; what does this place offer? Is it largely a "community" thing? I'm looking at the equipment they have listed and it's oddly deficient. There's absolutely no electronics or 3D printing equipment yo

Scalability predictions from a software developer need to be taken with a grain of salt. There is no universal law determining it. The prediction is sound up until it runs into somebody else's fuckup, at which point it becomes worthles

As a software engineer, software "engineering" is a joke, at least in the sense we apply that term to other disciplines of engineering. It's not like all that complexity you mentioned is understood. It's worked around, a

Have you ever worked in a union shop, or have family that did? Demarcation is not a hypothetical case, and it's not something that's so uncommon that you can just not worry about it, especially as a worker that needs to consider

Not necessarily. Unions can and do negotiate terms that protect union members to ridiculous extents at the cost of making what is basically an underclass out of non-union employees and employees of other unions. You'll find terms that

Modern GNOME is a liability to Linux desktop usage. It's usually fine, but can turn into a clunky, shitty mess at completely random and unpredictable points in your usage of it. The average person doesn't want to deal with this. I

There comes a point where you have to ascribe some level of responsibility to the investor. Cryptocurrency is massively ridiculed for scams like this, to the extent that it's hard to feign ignorance of it. I'm not saying that the

They're not forcing you to do anything at all. It's not even close, and I can float a guess that you haven't actually tried to buy a PS5 or any item like it at MSRP because you wouldn't seriously believe what you'
