There is also this massive military campaign in China, just for the sake of capturing horses from a Greek colony in Afghanistan

On the other hand since upgrading from 6.6 to 6.11 I noticed a great improvement in UI responsiveness on my old X1 Tablet and I doubt this Ubuntu uses a recent kernel even.
Disclaimer: I haven't used Windows in a long time.
Lol at this. Current European Academia and Establishment literally consider L. v. Mises far-right.
The good thing is that Europeans are gradually waking up and in 5-10 years time something radical enough is guaranteed to happen.
when line 21 is 175 characters long. also, the fact that anything other than InnoDB is barely real ACID. also, the stuck development and lack of support for json, uuid and many other things.
mysql being user-friendly (and especially beginner-friendly) is a massive hoax.
There is testcontainers + flyway/liquibase. Problem solved.
Venice was a prototype of the modern state - another example is the Arsenale where ships were built in insane numbers using conveyor-like process and standardised part numbers.
"At the peak of its efficiency in the early 16th century, the Arsenal employed some 16,000 people who apparently were able to produce nearly one ship each day, and could fit out, arm, and provision a newly built galley with standardized parts on a production-line basis not seen again until the Industrial Revolution."
Really hope that Wayland integration works well for them.
On the other hand my X200, T420, T450 are still in mint condition. To be completely fair, modern macs are also way off from well-built. Shiny yes, but sturdy is the last thing I'd call them.
BTW, in older ThinkPads, the drain-pipes under the keyboards actually worked - you could pour water on it just for kicks. Now it is there only for decoration.
I had no idea that they also rob you in the process, employing the good old vendor lock-in move even my grandma knows about.
P.S. Keycloak is a pain in the ass to figure out and set up properly, also it runs on some ridiculous app server, giving it a recognisable turn of the century stench, but it is well worth it.
In the same way, there is legacy software and legacy software. In a decade of contracting I have seen both pieces of crap with 50%+ of dead code which are inmodifiable beyond adding/removing fields from some CRUD entity, and 15+ year old J2EE competently designed, maintained and documented systems, where the only difference to a fancy new project is that there is xdoclet instead of annotations and a ton of plumbing code around.
The big difference is in telling them apart in advance - with cars you know that some brands are more maintainable than others as you see them on the road and as all of them share the same components/weak spots it doesn't take long to figure out if it is an oldtimer or a piece of junk. With software it is much more complicated.
It all started with a final meeting with the CEO - the bald Greek guy with the same first name as me, who spent almost an hour of his (not so) invaluable time for the sole purpose of pushing me to drop my rate from $45/h to $40/h. Ultimately we agreed, but on the condition that it is a 20h/week assignment, so that I have time for properly paid work.
3 weeks later I got fired for only doing 30h/week. Even back in the day, when I first read the e-mail I chuckled :D :D :D
2. Git repos tend to get rather large over time and yandex has been around since before git.
Due to regulations you will not be able to find a non-veteran vehicle without those systems, nor you'd want to, but BMW, Mercedes, Subaru and Lexus still have models which are well balanced and don't rely on those to such a heavy degree. This would be my advise as well.
Disclaimer: I am not against (almost) perfectly deterministic safety systems such as ABS. On the contrary - I consider them to be a massive advantage or almost mandatory.
