well you could have really cheap drum brakes that probably would last the lifetime of the vehicle. Maybe not even hydraulic - electro-mechanical with a mechanical (E brake) fallback. even better a mot…

do we need disk brakes?

ATM Machine

it's easy to do as well. most of these printers can be setup to easily work by catting text directly to /dev/lp0.

claiming you aren't robophobic is the first sign of being a robophobe.

This is the same with ANY depreciating asset or currency? Can I wait a year to buy it? Will I get 10x the return by waiting a year? Will my competition have a moat if I can move 10x faster next year? …

better than "The JIRA" , or "The Google" or "The Spotify"

what is wrong with make why does every language need to re invent packaging, building, etc. I think these people have no useful software to write so they rewrite the development stack.

Right so you might see a CTO, a CDO (development?) CAI? I dont know. basically small and medium business mostly do not invest in having programmers on staff. Maybe you have an IT guy, half the time it…

the AICPA... now the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants. Yup

By AI i assume you mean Actually Indians, seeing as we have allowed our CPA firms to outsource so much work overseas they already are gaps day to day. The average accounting office of 4 or 5 people is…

something as simple as requiring sign-offs like the DCO maybe relevant to people who care. I do think the driveby stuff may get smaller. People dont need to get stuff upstream. I have lots of patches …

fixes/feature labels help when generated semver and doing changelogs if you publish them externally or internally. JIRA tickets can help to, its about giving context to why the commit exists. I f…

I am working on a project/essay/thoughtsphere that is beautifully illustrated by this thread. My project is to help automatically take your patches/workflows and package and rebase on…

happens all the time. Some business jerk outsources an entire initiative, forces it through review, and we get dumped with externally written crap we gotta deal with. So what if claude wrote it, actua…

Well this is largely the fault of law itself. especially english style law. A legal, parseable code, in which not every single tiny municipality (some less than 1 square mile) has their own set of rul…

redhat, the NWO funders of many projects under the guise of freedom

well the "AI" is smart because the search is "DUMB" if I google "how long do I fry an egg" I don't need an article with 600 words about the ladys grandmums special e…

One thing in watching the 30 years of KDE talk is the DE-emphasis on apps. The whole thing got to big so it went from SC4 or whaetver into different strains. Modularized, etc. About then serious deskt…

"We can't promise to get everything fixed in time for 6.8, but we can promise to listen and be aware. " What is with KDE and releasing broken software? What's the rush to release w…

Trinity Desktop supports X11. If you liked KDE3.5 you might like Trinity. Good bye KDE. Good bye Red Hat. We're doin our own thang now.

except the last bubble pop hit fast and hard with post covid inflation.

That's why I drink Genesee Light, to get drunk not for the flavor. I find the IPA drinkers to be of that same ilk That is to say, somewhere along the way software got really complex, and really a…

Definitely not revolutionary. Plenty of evolutionary changes - because linux itself has changed. the last major release brought - LUKS encrypted disk support desktop-wide, - storage device hot plug&…
