No. Monopolies that are monopolies because they offer a superior product that others don’t offer absolutely deserve their success. Monopolies that are monopolies because they hold others back absolutely should be broken up. The difference is in why they are a monopoly.
There are certain nuances when a company is too big to compete with - things like YouTube where video hosting is hella expensive. That is a grey area that I do not have an educated opinion on.
No idea. I’ve been to who knows how many specialists and nobody is going beyond the basic checklist and giving up afterwards.
I’m living through number one right now. The confusion isn’t the bad part. The bad part is being fully conscious of your confusion, almost like you are in a body floating over your own watching you do and think stupid shit you know you would never do. It is legitimately horrifying watching myself slip further and further by the day and nobody seems to think there is a problem.
Most supermarkets in my area, not just Costco, have one.
“Blame the author, not the language”
Says the person who screams they have never worked professionally with a team before.
There is no excuse to not use statically typed, safe languages nowadays. There are languages that let you build faster like Python and Typescript, but faster does not mean safer. Even if your code is flawless it still isn’t safe because all it takes is a single flawed line of code. The more bug vectors you remove the better the language is.
I have PTSD from people ignoring compiler warnings, so the squiggly kills the intent for me.
I am using CachyOS. I was able to find my way around because I knew what I needed to look up due to existing server experience, but a first time user would likely struggle a lot more.
There is a difference between going from a GUI based OS to a hybrid GUI/console OS.
For both iOS and Android the only difference is where things live. The processes are still the same.
This is not the case with Windows and Linux. If you want to install something in Windows you go to a website and download an installer. For Linux, you find out if there is a package. If not you go to a website and see if there is an app image or zip file. You then need to know where to place the downloaded file, how to get it running (making it executable), knowing how to chmod and chown (it is better to have to do it like in Linux, but it is an extra step), and how to add it to your desktop (there is no right+click and add to desktop/create shortcut option in Arch based distros like there is on Windows). If there is a service component you may need to go into command line and systemctl to enable it.
Your comparison to iOS and Android is not really appropriate.
Can confirm. Just switched to Linux about 2 weeks ago. I am happy enough, but there was a brutal learning curve. This was for a distro that is user friendly, too. I was able to install just fine, but actually getting my environment set up is an ongoing process.
Many Linux distros are getting there, but they still aren’t ready for casual users.
I have no idea how you and your other up voters read what I wrote and thought “semantics”.
Arguments are “I am right, you are wrong.”
Conversations are “I feel I am right, and you feel you are right. Let’s try to understand each other and figure out where the disconnect is and how we can meet on common ground to come to an outcome we are both happy with.”
There are nuances. Arguments have an undertone of superiority. Conversations have an undertone of trying to understand the other person’s perspective and realizing that if somebody has the same perspective as you then you wouldn’t be in the situation to begin with.
Now, I want to make it perfectly clear that there are some things where there is no room for conversation - things where facts are being disputed.
This post is an argument since I am too lazy to engage in conversation.
Arguments are for children and those with the mental maturity of a schoolyard bully.
Conversations are where the mature people duke it out, and the point of a conversation is not to win but to see each other on equal ground, understand the position of the other party, and come to a conclusion that benefits both parties.
Maybe it is the fear of being shot for stepping on someone else’s property. Many people with kids also can’t afford to live in a house, and apartment complexes don’t do door to door trick or treating.
What wasnt conveniently covered is what happens when your container goes down and how to architect recovery. Your simple flow diagram is no longer simple.
I generally agree with the rest of the article.
This is not thread safe.
When a company changes their motto away from “don’t be evil” you know damn well they are evil.
If we are in a voice call I will never watch anything anyone sends to me immediately because they are going to continue talking over it anyway.
If the video is something I am genuinely interested in I will watch it regardless of length, otherwise 5 to 7 minutes is my max range.
It failed and shut down just like all his other businesses.
My bathroom door is like this at home. The idiot that had the door installed chose a door with a lock button that sticks out way too far for a door so close to the wall. You can press the lock simply by opening the door too far, and if it closes behind you, you are now locked out.
I have to keep a screwdriver near my bathroom door to unlock it.
Making the new wall is not a money generator. You would be insane if you think suits would waste money to rebuild something when it generated minimal to no additional revenue.
FYI this is very real social engineering that criminals use. These stickers seem harmless at first but can be pretty dangerous.
