At one time Gnome ejected a portion of its user base in order to become something that would work on tablets and phones as well as desktops - at least that seemed like the rationale. At that time it looked like there might be a market for

This is an incredibly good example of what I wanted to know.

This is really what I meant. They must offer more than a copy of postgres running on a computer. How do they scale? What are the features? Why would I choose this over RDS for example? Scaling postgres is not that informative. I am sorry i

I don't know why but I can almost never understand American commercial software websites. "what is PlanetScale".....blah, blah blah....WHOOOOSH! No more enlightened than before. Even for products I've worked on - I read

Yes, knowing anything for certain is difficult so it's worth always harbouring a little doubt about both positive and negative conclusions. Dzerzhinsky liked to say "Trust but verify", and I think that sums it up - if you loo

If all you care about is success then it's not a help is it? If you have some standards though, then you can tell yourself that the price of standards is that you cannot rise in a corrupt hierarchy and you probably wouldn't enjoy

It was a bit glib but what I notice is that small things cheer me up. Good interactions with other people in quite trivial matters send me on a good trajectory. I also notice that whatever negativity I output to someone, it tends to come ba

In my experience you can only moderate your response. So you cannot pretend to be very pleased when you're 90% certain that someone has been very rude to you but you can avoid an immediate angry response and give yourself time to think

I think it's useful to try to always assume the best from others: - If they aren't being friendly this will irritate them in a way they cannot object to too openly. - If they are friendly it will avoid damage and even start

It's rather ridiculous to think that the world really wants to stick all its eggs in an American basket. Individual companies will pick whatever works best for them but I think the governments will be delighted to avoid a dependency

I don't particularly care if it's worth it or not. I don't need to do it. Getting money for things is not easy in all companies.

On Mac we just switched to podman and didn't have anything to worry about.

Right, we were using macs - same story.

Those companies use docker desktop on their dev's machines.

by t43562 1y ago
To provide 1 contrary opinion to all the others saying they have a problem: Podman rocks for me! I find docker hard to use and full of pitfalls and podman isn't any worse. On the plus side, any company I work for doesn't have to

I think some in the US see it the opposite way - a system for preventing the US from dominating it piecemeal. This explains their support for "free speech" for the various neo-(no we're not nazi!) parties in the EU.

It's all very well when it works to your advantage but "vibes" also do the opposite. People who instantly take against you tend to see every mistake and interpret every event the worst possible way and eventually decide that

Seems a bit dull to me. i.e. there's nothing to rethink. Since I usually drop down to the commandline to do most real work, I feel that the desktop is missing something. In the real world I can cut a brick in half with a grinder or a c

You could demonstrate the app working on a different cloud platform. If you can make it work on Azure for example that could satisfy them that you have a backup plan.

My problem, when I was hiring for my company about year ago, was with not having the money to get people like that. This was in the UK of course and this year the employers seem to have a big advantage thanks to world events.

I don't have any great answer - you may not want to bother to read the rest! Just a couple of thoughts. The problem I have seen with on premises is the inability to scale up. e.g. you have a server room and you don't have enough p

With unlimited budgets and American employment law perhaps .. or if you're in a startup and have the luxury of beginning from scratch.

The further away one gets from the technical side the more one is operating with imperfect information. Even if you're technical yourself you can't oversee everything so you look for rules that you can impose to try to guide thi

I think the Raspberry PI has made itself a kind of de facto desktop standard and so has Ubuntu. It's no good having 2 standards, however, and that is one problem - to make 1 standards you'd probably have to kill off all the distr

It will require so much conformity that the point of it being Linux will be lost. To put it another way, Android IS already desktop Linux.

Cross compiling go is easy. Static binaries work everywhere. The cryptographic library is the foundation of various CAs like letsencrypt and is excellent. The green threads are very interesting since you can create 1000s of them at a low co

I think this highlights some problems with software development in general. i.e. the code isn't enough - you need to have domain knowledge too and a lot of knowledge about how and why the company needs things done in some way or anothe

SuSe seems invisible to me whereas Android has probably made many many billions of dollars and I think it counts as potentially the worlds largest linux distribution.
