and why you should never trust cloud providers with your only copy of anything

well, yeah. Even the old 3-2-1 backup policy is against that.

Wow, prejudiced much. The JS ecosystem evolved a lot over the year, and polyfills for most environment are next to non existant. The worst environment to me (react-native) do heavily use them, but they’re built-in anyway.

Also, about stuff being slow when made in JS… people that make slow clusterfuck in JS would also make slow clusterfuck in other languages. React is guilty of that too, trying to re-implement core language features OVER the language itself, and that is stupid. Still, as with every language, it is possible to use it decently. You’ll never get to the point of raw optimized assembly performance, but even higher level scripting language can leverage JIT compilation and work well on any modern (<10 years) computer. Taking as an example the worst developers out there using the worst way to do things is not exactly a good benchmark.

Backward compatibility and not seeing the future. Some decisions are taken at one point in time, then a new use case show up, then a new paradigm evolve, then… etc etc.

It’s really the same thing that holds back a lot of languages and libraries. And even when replacement shows up, old habits from devs and old projects maintenance keep all these things well alive too.

It was explicitly said to not use this outside of VSCode, so, I’m not sure where the surprise comes from.

The problem is that they’re killing competition.

So, they pay to develop a product, for themselves, explicitly says “it’s only for us, shoo shoo”, and when they decide that their product, that they pay for, and provide for free to their user, should not be used by other, it kills the competition that did not do anything except take the product for free despite being told not to?

I’m not on the side of Microsoft for most things. But if doing nothing but taking someone else’s free product qualifies to be competition that should be protected, we’re having problems.

Trade it in or recycle it with local organizations

And what are those organizations expected to install on systems that can’t support Windows 11, Microsoft? What are they expected to install exactly?

Some people bought scam pins/portable assistant that is actually a butchered phone thing, so, yeah.

I’d be very curious to know how much cheaper it is. Sure, there’s R&D to integrate that with everything, but that cost is split across all units sold. It feels like the actual sensors, at this scale, can’t add a significant amount to the final price.

I won’t argue with the ups and downs of each technos, but I recently looked into docker swarms and it was all I expected kubernetes to be, without the hassle. And I could also get a full cluster with services restored from scratch in 30s. But I am obviously biased towards it, too :)

Kinda like blaming a President at war for not saying “thank you” to its “benefactor” (despite having done so numerous times), no?

Aluminum and 5G, probably.

Guy’s almost happy his kid died. That should be a crime. Even worse, he’s happy to have been at the helm of her death. Disgusting.

I don’t like the approach of piling more things on top of even more things to achieve the same goal as the base, frankly speaking. A “local” kubernetes cluster serve no purpose other than incredible complexity for little to no gain over a mere docker-compose. And a small cluster would work equally well with docker swarm.

A service, even made of multiple parts, should always be described that way. It’s easy to move “up” the stack of complexity, if you so desire. Having “have a k8s cluster with helm” working as the base requirement sounds insane to me.

Deployment instructions start with the prerequisite that you have a full kubernetes cluster with ingress laying around, so… yeah. It looks like it’ll be on the heavy side.

Just checked the part about self-hosting. While it’s probably possible to handle things with a less heavy approach, their only “easy to use” example right now is to have a full-blown kubernetes cluster at hand or run locally in the source directory. That’s a bit much.

Servo

Hm. Did not know about that. Interesting, thanks.

Depends on where you are. In my country, 50k (€) a year could lend you your own individual house, fit all basic needs, and leave a fair amount for leisure.

You think the heads salaries/bonus/lobbying budget will be the first to get axed if google money goes away?

No idea, I’m not that obsessed with it. But do note that “The developers of these apps provided info about their data sharing practices to an app store. They may update it over time.” and “Data sharing practices may vary based on your app version, use, region, and age.”

The recent changes to Firefox terms of use (well, their introduction really) was supposedly meant to appease some regional lawmakers. Maybe it is a regional thing. Maybe they changed it again. Maybe it’s, as often with store page update, rolled out progressively to people (in either direction, whether it’s adding or removing these terms).

The point is, that’s neither a “Google” operation to put Firefox in a bad light, nor a Mozilla operation to… do whatever it is they’re doing these days. It’s just a regular message. Which, reading a lot of the replies here, is something that have to be said.

Have you read all the other replies? “Google mad”, “Google putting Firefox in the dirt”, “False info”, etc.
