The amount is important, since it's like trace amounts of money.

Small business owners for some reason always think they are in the same class as the other business owners.

It's not ONE person. I agree that it's not "every single human being" either, but more of a preliminary result, but I don't understand why you discount results you dislike. I thought you were completely rational?

Does the revenue cover the costs?

Hackers find communism interesting :)

You think youtube music compensates artists?

I mean, if people like these hate it, it must be really good.

I think most of the problems are due to people not understanding how async works (non blocking file descriptors and a call to poll).

Before async they had asyncore, which they now entirely removed. So the real early adopters of async in python are punished by having to rewrite their software to run it with a current version of python.

Threads use a lot more memory than a single async thread, and if the load is IO, 1 thread is enough.

Speed might be similar but resource usage is not the same at all.

You'd save a bit of memory by letting 1 thread handle multiple connections, but that's about it.

async await is syntactic sugar hiding calls to poll() and callbacks in every programming language.

Backend developers finding out why user interfaces have a thread for the GUI and a thread for doing work :D

I donate more than I receive (which is 0, despite household names using my software).

Do you have more hot takes?

What's unreasonable is that they don't sponsor an important library they use.

But that was written after the change was made :D

In my own experience (EU company, acquired by USA) USA developers are good at burning money, less good at actually delivering a reliable product.

But it can be due to terrible management hiring terribly.

Being in the office won't stop offshoring anyway.

Where I work there are like 2x as many front end developers as there is need for. They spend an insane amount of time doing meetings, they require approval of 2 different people for every simple CSS change.

Their job is to do meetings, and occasionally add a couple of items to the HTML, which has been mostly unchanged for the past 10 years, save for changing the CSS and updating the js framework they use.

The reward for being faster is to do more work.

Fedora did this long before debian. I remember doing wget of an .iso file on /tmp and my entire wayland session being killed by the OOM killer.

I still think it's a terrible idea.

Are we talking war time russia or peace time USSR? It seems to me that you are conflating the two.

> Is it your theory that working on large projects was better when you had communist masters?

It is. Unemployment was virtually non-existant in the ussr, and healthcare was not connected to employment status. So a worker there knew that saying no to their boss was not going to be a life-or-death decision. They might of course be less wealthy and so on but the worst case didn't look as bad.

What are you talking about? It runs on the pinephone.

compare slack with telegram-desktop for example, which has similar functionalities but is way faster.

What about PMs that were developers but were awful at it and just played the politics game to get that promotion and never have to see code ever again?

So? You can still do a PR of 1 line and the diff will only show that 1 line.

I prefer to delay the pain as much as possible instead

I use localslackirc, so I can be on battery rather long.

> What about Slack, the messenger?

You call it well made? I'm sorry for you, you must really live a really harsh life.
