Thanks lah

I do believe that some companies look at certs for sysadmin roles. As a requirement not a boost and you’d likely need more than just Linux certs then. Probably also some Cisco and stuff.

LDS?

I reckon they might be using a lot of Windows specific libraries, making any porting a real pain in the ass. And when you’re in that space, unfortunately people just have to choose the OS that goes with their applications, not the other way around.

It’s literally easier to start an entirely new CAD/CAM project and make that cross-platform. Unfortunately, that’s a 7 or 8 figure proposition to get started as well (probably 8 for a polished product that can pull proper market share).

What software is that? Is it something with a really heavy desktop client by nature (e.g CAD, video editing), or could it instead have a browser-based frontend?

Wait, do people shut down their computers when they’re done using them?

I know I did on the desktop PC we had at home when I was a kid… But now the desktop doubles as a homeserver (and does that more than it does gaming lately) and the laptop just goes to sleep rather than shutting it down.

The underlying issue is that nobody wants to develop using any of the available cross-platform toolkits that you can compile into native binaries without an entire browser attached. You could use Qt or GTK to build a cross-platform application. But if you use Electron, you can just run the same application on the browser AND as a standalone application.

Me? I’m considering developing my next application in Qt out of all things because it does actually have web support via WASM and I want to learn C++ and gain some Qt experience. Good idea? Probably not.

At that point you’re running some sort of server on it probably.

For which, it’s not even the most cost effective hardware tbh. There are X86 based tiny PCs for good prices used

Honestly, it’s been pretty good for me once I say “Hmm I don’t think this workflow works with this version”

I think the 4o model might just be better than 3.5 was at this.

IDEs have had subscriptions for ages. The build server is a cloud service because local machines can be slow to compile and not everyone has an on-site build server.

These are both made by the same person from this PR (who also made both the package the PR is on, and the is-number package that is being removed as a dep)

And let’s not talk about C++…

Don’t worry, people make plenty of jokes about C++ too.

Hell, people joke about my favourite language too - Cargo build times are a meme unto themselves.

I don’t think there’s a truly great dependency management system there. Though all in all, I’ve generally had no MAJOR issues with Cargo, Maven or Gradle.

We just see incremental performance improvements for enthusiasts/professionals and little more than power draw improvements for everyone else.

For several years we didn’t even see those. When AMD wasn’t competitive, Intel didn’t do shit to improve their performance. Between like Sandy Bridge (2011) and Kaby Lake (2016) you’d get so little performance uplift, there wasn’t any point in upgrading, really. Coffee Lake for desktop (2017) and Whiskey Lake for laptops (2018) is when they actually started doing… anything, really.

Now we at least get said incremental performance improvements again, but they’re not worth upgrading CPUs for any more often than like 5 or more years on desktop IMO. You get way more from a graphics card upgrade and if you’re not pushing 1080p at max fps, the improvements from a new CPU will be pretty hard to feel.

Did you get a kernel binary from them? If not, I don’t think they’re bound to you by GPL.

KDE Neon?

Worked at a company where the previous devs had implemented their own frameworks for front and backend. Obviously 200 was the only possible code.

I had a cottonelle puppy so basically a toilet paper ad. But it’s not even sold in my country, we have other brands.

Operating system so TrueNAS in your case

Did you use a Handy to write this comment?

Saw an article that said that some execs demanded for search to have better user retention. I.e make the user search multiple times to find what they’re looking for, so they can be shown more ads.
