I disagree. On stock Ubuntu, there is no normal situation you'll run into where you must use a terminal. If you decide to do something that requires a terminal, that's a different story. But basically every normal operation you&

That's quite strange. What distro? For a while I was managing several hundred Linux devices remotely, so I've done thousands of updates with no issues. Linux has been my daily driver for 15 years, and never had an update issue the

Yes, and some people just want to take their car to the mechanic, while other people want to fix theirs. It's a classic struggle in any area. The big difference though, is if I use my car in a professional capacity , I want to know ho

Ah yes, the classic "if I can't see the bad thing, it doesn't exist" approach to problem solving.

I've never had an update issue on a Linux device. I update whenever I like, and have never been forced to. Occasionally some items fail due to dependency issues, the error messages are very descriptive, I handle the dependencies and mo

The more I re-read the comments, the more ludicrous it seems for you to target your comment at me. The parent poster I understand, but you... Why exactly did you think I was making universal claims for all developers, especially given the p

by swells34 3y ago
You and I are in agreement, that no one's experience is universal. That is why I was compelled to respond to aerzen, who was very much claiming that his experiences and viewpoints are universal across all developers. Odd that you respo

Interesting choice of gatekeeping you do here. Complain that it's a "web application" instead of a website, then claim that web applications cannot be built for developers. And to round it all off, whine about scrolling laten

Well, it's a bad thing for 90% of American households no matter how you look at it. Additionally, based on the comment from dwallin, it's likely a bad thing for 99.9% of American households. This is an odd state of being for a dem

It's very confusing to me that you are praising the authors of a published scientific paper for almost making their work reproduceable.

I'm with pixl97 on this one, but I think you are both in agreement, just focused on different parts. They are focused on the cause, you are focused on the effect. The two are causally linked. I cannot for the life of me think of a way

Well, currently ads can be targeted using user agents. This is analogous to that sort of attack, although less malicious. There are bad people who would target children if they could, so it does seem to fit with what you're asking. We

Something to keep in mind about all this (and something that my wife reminds me of when I get annoyed trying to write product descriptions) is that the description and the product are separate. In that, if I struggle to write a descript

Ya know, I've never had a Linux box that had any of the problems listed about modern windows. Also all the advantages listed about Windows XP are also present in Linux... But I've never paid Microsoft for an OS that showed me ads

That freedom exists. Anyone who didn't want to work with this person was free to quit at any time. We use a bit of asymmetrical freedom here in the US; we don't FORCE anyone to stay, but we don't allow you to bar people from

We've decided, collectively, that since work is a basic requirement in the US in order to fill the basic needs of housing and food, that we don't want employers to be able to arbitrarily damage people's lives. Employers alrea

To be fair on both your point and the parent comment, it is both a difficult problem, and one that engineers at Boeing are capable of solving (and likely already solved). The issue here isn't an engineering one, it's a management

I've been actively punishing companies that waste my time. Oh, two rounds of interviews only to learn it was an internal hire completed before I ever applied? Enjoy having every one of your listings have thousands of applications a day

Someone who was a genius wouldn't strangle their cash cow just to have a steak dinner. She's ruthless, conniving, and short sighted. Perhaps she knows she's incapable of improving the business, in which case stealing more mon

No, I'm making the assertion that the analogy that most closely matches should be used, and that you picked one so poorly that it immediately smells of bad faith arguments and agendizement. Your analogy is comparing media of a physic

This audience is exactly the right one to start thinking about and developing strategies and opinions on this topic. The flame wars can go live on reddit, the developers here need to discuss future paths for AI licensing.

Porn isn't sex the same way pictures and videos of food is not food... You picked a very strange and convoluted analogy instead of the very simple and very straightforward one that is an accurate 1:1 analogy. Strange way to announc

Ah yes, Prohibition, a classic American success story. The most freest we've ever been! I love how our culture, which is centered around the idea of freedom, would be protected by removing the choice to look at something that some peop

Honestly, the "I have nothing to hide" line is flawed in itself, regardless of whether you actually do or not. With enough data about someone, a narrative can be built that they are guilty of something . And even if it is finally

I think of a "sign up" button as something I click after I've chosen to use that product. The button click signals my intent to do so. Having to click it to see pricing is something that would just not happen for me, because

Oh interesting, my AMS has worked flawlessly. This is interesting because I've tried many multimaterial solutions, and other than a Voron with multiple hot ends, none of them worked well at all until the Bambu AMS. It was really wast

No worries, the edit cutoff has bit me before as well. But just to clarify, you do mean that the hardware is closed source, and the firmware is not? I did see some licensing stuff on prusa's GitHub, looks like they have non-commercial
