I appreciate your conundrum. While it has been good to see Java language designers attempt to advance the language, they've been extremely conservative and non-committal. This is a problem because tooling is costly to develop and too

How have you dealt with the current situation in Java where several new and important language features are still "preview" and are subject to being withdrawn? The possibility that these features might ultimately disappear is not

You're making a leap. In a small environment virt-manager and friends GUI tools are probably sufficient. Yes, proxmox is obviously nicer, no question, but not really necessary. As to the "cave person" nonsense: I version

Aren't "many advocates" only seeking to make penalties for unsafe behavior felt? Wealthy people can and do routinely scoff at -- for them -- trivial costs, abusing their wealth until someone ends up injured or killed, and th

Well, I got past being dazzled by QEMU machine config files years ago. They're actually rather simple. Once you grasp dealing with QEMU at that level its a short, and possibly dubious step, to just CLI-ing everything. The GUI tools

Ok, as I said, I may lack perspective. I version control VM configs and script VM deployments, and manage a herd of containers with ansible. We're talking about simple minded code monkey stuff here: the real work is elsewhere.

VM count is a poor metric. Spawning lots of VMs is a matter of looping over virt-install or "virsh create" or what have you. The real bottleneck is storage: how are you solving that such that you can migrate VMs around to servic

It's overkill for small business. Makes more sense at "medium". Small business does fine with plain old QEMU/KVM and the open source tools: virt-install/manager, etc. Understand that I routinely manage QEMU machin

Absolutely. My point being we're not actually dealing with commodities. In house production is about as far away from "commodity" as one can get.

Sure. This is all self evident. Understanding the motivations of manufacturers, however, yields little value: the products they're making now are post-warranty disposable, despite the staggering cost and whatever intent manufacturers

I'd agree with that timeline with regard to US domestic truck platforms, which famously lagged cars in complexity by about a decade. A lot of 2000's cars definitely do not qualify. The notion of a "sweet spot" is valid.

In the taxonomy of RF circuits, the pickle is an (extremely inefficient) direct-conversion receiver. I've seen at least on video of this being done with a wrench, where the RF current forms a visible arc through the air to the wrench.

This response goes back to my first post on the topic: such attitudes and behavior have led to successful forks of major components that ultimately subsumed the legacy work. The Rust side doesn't even have to go so far as to reimpleme

I'll stipulate your view of the proposal. Does an uncivil, almost hysterical reaction that is perceived (wrongly or otherwise) as elitist and irrationally hostile an effective approach? I question the basis of the reaction and find it

Brave is a Chromium derivative, not Chrome. Can't imagine why any of this would imply they would need to stop deriving Chromium: they can develop and deploy whatever cookie policies and defaults they want.
