Right?

Ha yeah “Sr dev” was never seen again, the team member stuck around for quite a few more years.

“I know what a lot of you are thinking” Yeah what about Firefox? “It’s impossible to make a new web engine” Um… No … Probably not that hard really with pretty decent standards these days. Performance JavaScript is probably pretty hard and a lot of the fancier protocols.

Seriously, what makes you better than Firefox?

Whatever, another choice isn’t bad I guess.

Once we had a “sr developer” join a project from a consulting group. The project wasn’t going well so me and another dev started helping with some tasks as well.

After a couple days of helping, trying to get his web application to work with data from an API he turns to us and says “oh, json is just a string.”

The other developer from our team stared at him for a few seconds, stood up, walked out of the room and told the project manager something along the lines of “if that guy ever comes back in the building I’ll quit”

So yeah, json is just a string… But if that’s the end of your knowledge you’re in for a bad day.

Should I point out the irony of this complaint being posted on a site with ads every other sentence and doesn’t even show what the windows ads looks like?

It’s a valid complaint and all I just laughed as I scrolled past all the blank “ad here” blocks to read the article.

I really appreciate this change. Prior to it was always a struggle to deploy servers successfully. You’d reboot and your database would be on the wrong interface and you could even remote in because the management interface was suddenly on a firewalled external only network. Ask me how I know.

With virtualization and containers this just got more complicated. I would constantly have to rewrite kvm entire configs because I’d drop a new nic in the machine. A nightmare.

Sure, it’s gibberish for the desktop user but you can just use the UI and ignore the internal name. Not even sure the last time I saw it on my laptop. So no big deal.

That’s good. I assume you’ve got the old libwebkit installed somehow. There are a dozen reports around this though so it’s a pretty real problem. https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/issues?q=libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37

Ubuntu but it also affects fedora https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/issues/185

The image just isn’t being built correctly which is more a problem with appimages but the fact it’s still broken… Linux is clearly a neglected platform for them.

All the problems I listed have bug reports just nothings happening to fix them.

It was actually 3gb because operating systems have to reserve parts of the memory address space for other things. It’s more difficult for all 32bit operating systems to address above 4gb just most implemented additional complexity much earlier because Linux runs on large servers and stuff. Windows actually had a way to switch over to support it in some versions too. Probably the NT kernels that where also running on servers.

A quick skim of the Wikipedia seems like a good starting point for understanding the old problem.

Appimage doesn’t start because it relies on a system package that does exist anymore, dialogs with grey text on grey backgrounds in dark mode, stl repair not included…

Flatpak is in the works but honestly and hope that helps bit I get better prints out of prusaslicer for some reason so not holding my breath or anything.

Does it work on recent Linux releases yet?

It is. Until recently it actually still used the domain to serve assets.

Well past time to take up farming.

When the first person opens their new laptop:

“RISC architecture is going to change everything”

Buy a ticket to mars. Problem solved.

As a pedestrian in one of the mentioned cities, this is accurate. We have an ok bus network but the schedules are terrible and getting around on foot is dangerous and it’s like 100 degrees out with 90% humidity. Very few people put up with it and literally no one will because of this.

I’ve seen a lot of contractors over promising timelines too. “No matter how hard you push and no matter what the priority, you can’t increase the speed of light.”

But yeah exactly.

No it’s a set of tools you can use to run a project.

My point is that a lot of people use “agile” to mean not planning or don’t put guard rails on scope and they fail. That’s not agile, it’s just bad PM

Feels like the old php metric. PHP had a ton of great code and successful projects but it also attracted very bad devs as well as very inexperienced devs leading to a real quality problem.

Honestly kinda see thing in a lot of JavaScript applications these days. Brilliant code but also a ton of bad code to the point I get nervous opening a new project.

My point? It may be a tough pill but it’s not the project framework that makes projects fail, it’s how the project is run.
