The general issue with people that don't care is, well, they don't care. The problem with being a reasonable person (or at least being the reasonable person in a certain situation) is that reason stops if the other party is not pl

How much effort do Chrome and Android require from a company the size of Google? It's a genuine question. Jolla/Sailfish make a mobile operating system with a handful of people, and even though that system pretty minimal, I'd

Don't sweat it. It's a running joke amongst guitar players no two people pronounce D'Addario the same way, not to mention the tremolo bar which technically should be called a vibrato bar. I surmise any scene has its trip-up w

I'm an avid trail runner, which requires a lot of (quoting another poster) balance, coordination and fluidity. How would dance differ from that? My mostly uneducated guess is that moving in lots of different ways, having lots of social

To me it makes perfect sense to make a simple statement about supporting something you believe in, and tell people why you care.

One wonders if things win because they really are better, or because there's sufficient financial momentum behind them. I have worked in the public sector for some years, and I don't think Europe is behind, just that the budgets a

In other words, if you permit, pure capitalism isn't a sufficiently good motive to get something significant done. But of course most of us don't work towards an ultimate common goal – and neither did most people in those times. O

Convenience and comfort are freedom's enemy. What is going wrong with the traditional editors and programming tools that (assumably) younger devs are going for those full-blown IDEs? Has the complexity of development with back/fro

Maybe I misunderstand what you're suggesting, but aren't containers pretty much that application platform? Or stuff like Helm, when you're talking about larger, more complex deployments? I imagine Nextcloud needs at least a d

I'd use `pass`, which I use personally, but it's a hard sell for people not as technically proficient. I've worked with all kinds of solutions both online and on-premise such as 1pass and vault. Ideally a meticulous SSO setup

If possible, they should add a hook and individual download script like for DeCSS back in the day. Let them come at each of us individually for wanting to use the ports in our own hardware.

There are a lot of questions that try to find out if something is still the best way of doing things or the right technical choice at the present time. Those questions feel like duplicates or opinions, but are really not in many cases. Some

The coasting until real work was required part sounds very familiar, and also the getting by in objective terms but being unhappy and struggling mentally part too. After embarrassingly many years I've learned that there's a little

Multi-master is not common, but it's easy to have a single master and multiple read-only slaves (with failover), though of course you're going to have to configure your application's database/ORM layer to handle multiple

Good to know. But as a text editor, does it compete with your favourite editor or IDE?

After having been around these note-taking apps for years, I'm still stuck with a directory of text and Markdown files. It's an obvious benefit not to be tied to one application developer's opinion of how to structure a note-

Very much this sentiment. While these sort of licenses and business relationships might make sense for high-margin industries that have specific needs, as somebody who has been doing consultancy for the last x years, I tend to advise most c

I've been using `systemd-boot` for many years, which comes with the system. It's a bit simpler than Grub and LILO (team 90s, represent!). Most BIOSes have variable support for booting random images, but last time I got a new syste

I've noticed throughout the years SQLite has lots of handy features built in for dealing with CSV and other input and output formats. Sometimes it's easier to get data into it and use SQL to slice and dice that data than it is to

Maybe you want the real thing. I get that, even though I have never had sex with a prostitute or fall into the risky sex category. I'm not going to go as far as to be childishly disrespectful and say I'd rather die doing the real

Not a dog in the fight, at least this particular fight, but this might sound to many as "just learn the language of the oppressor". This gets thorny real quickly.

(As someone who has lived in different countries) Making an effort to learn "enough" of a language of the country you expect to be living in for a while is a gesture of decency. I feel that good will is justified, especially in cu

I had the same problem coming from the same Germanic/Romanic languages as you, trying to learn Finnish. It's not just the vocabulary, the whole construction and modality is often different, and it's hard to map things one on

I speak a bunch of languages, and this is especially helpful when learning languages that have a specific own idiomatic sentence structure. You get a pretty good insight into how people form sentences in their native language based on how t

I think French is notoriously difficult to understand from speaking language because they tie together so many words and sounds. Contrasted with a language such as Finnish, which is hard to learn, but relatively easy to understand and write

I have surveyed this landscape for a number of years, though I'm not involved enough to have strong opinions. We're running a lot of Prometheus ecosystem and even some OpenTelemetry stacks across customers. OpenTelemetry does seem
