I don't know any other industry where non-technical unqualified people can just decide everything in the way that it's done with software/IT

I'm pretty sure that Windows 8.1 didn't have a start menu at all, just a windows button that opened that full screen metro launcher

Too bad many places care more about how long you stay warming the seat than how useful the work done actually is.

In the places that I worked, features came before all else, and bugs weren't fixed unless customers complain

Sometimes, a "bug" can be caused by nasty architecture with intertwined hacks. Particularly on games, where you can easily have event A that triggers B unless C is in X state...

What I want to say is that I've seen what happens in a team with a history of quick fixes and inadequate architecture design to support the complex features. In that case, a proper bugfix could create significant rework and QA.

True, I use proton for their mail and VPN, but use hetzner for bulk backups

Because of 3-2-1 Backup Rule, it's great to have a cloud backup for things that you don't want to lose.

It's also great if you move frequently, or travel a lot.

I think that 2k is really really cheap for the expertise in kernel development

I am literally unable to understand what's being said here

What about food security

It is possible to work with rust, using debian repositories as the only source.

Note that in taiwan people want the status quo, not reunification. And nobody likes to do things when threatened by force, which is what the CCP is doing

Since you went there with a visa, I'm sure you noticed that the authority that issued that visa has nothing to do with Beijing.

And since you also know that the taiwanese want to "maintain status quo", it's probably clear to you that they want to keep their full control, and not be under the rule of the CCP.

Which makes it really interesting, why you keep argueing for "one china".

For those interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibet_(1912%E2%80%931951)

I'm sure that you can see in the map that there's "free are of the republic of china", which wasn't represented in the map, which was the point I raised originally. I never mentioned taiwan independence, you twist the facts and my word for your political agenda.

Great straw man argument you got there, please tell me more about my life, I'm sure you know all about it

And if we are talking about the constitution, technically parts of Russia, India, Vietnam, Mongolia are also "claimed" by the ROC.

This map should show the areas of actual rule and control (de facto) and don't accept any territory to belong to a state just because they claim sovereignty.

Then it should be striped, the same way Crimea is.

Seeing that it fails to portray the current map accurately, by not to separating PRC and ROC (taiwan), makes me question everything about older data

Yep, you can't just "redefine" a noun to get a clickbait title

With all these new APIs, I worry what the web will look like in 10 years, will be have this huge API surface always will us? Will we start to see deprecations in the web api? I'm worried if the XSLT is setting a precedent on deprecating "complex" and "hard to maintain" APIs.

EDIT: Think also about webgl1/2, webgpu, webxr, websocket, webrtc, webauthn ...

People always ask for feedback, but I haven't met anybody that can actually take it.

Most people just don't want to hear, don't want to know. And people know it, so people don't say what they think.

I can't wait to see how the coding performance will start to drop on with newer tools and versions, as people no longer discuss them in the same detail and quantity as they used to. People using LLMs will be stuck in the pre-2023 tools, using new stuff is an uphill battle already (you have to give it the correct docs manually)

Or: how to make ai parrot my own propaganda.

When you have the systems for censorship, they will eventually be used for anything the powerful wants to accomplish.

Look at android, locked bootloader, no root, se linux, and voila

But Ukraine was/is forced to "benchmark" their approaches with the reality of the war.

How will success be measured for this reform?

good advice, someone should have told me this years ago, when you start, you need to know that this is not your game, work, watch and learn. Don't even think about "this is wrong" "they should do this instead" "they have no idea" "I would do it much better"

At my previous job, "what about..." slowly became a trigger word for me

EDIT: In the context of infinite pixel tweaking, layout tweaking, and of course, new features that would require significant full stack rework
