Sorta defeats the purpose of the Internet doesn’t it?

I only remember it because they wheeled out the TV’s in the middle of school to watch it. Why did they do that?

I haven’t tried NextCloud but it looks more like a hosted application stack like M365 rather than a general purpose cloud like AWS/Azure/gcloud. What would be really cool is a homegrown cloud that emulated AWS/Azure/gcloud API’s so that you could easily port existing applications over.

I look forward to a Europe fully on its own cloud and software stacks or at least FOSS options.

Their parents probably have mixed feelings about the whole thing. Not super happy about the whole ICE thing, but delighted about the possibility of their newly employed 40 year old son possibly moving out of their basement.

- Comment on Is it really worth the BS for a couple more years? 5 days ago:
Yes luck certainly has something to do with it. But in my 50’s and 60’s I still see a majority of people having soda, sweets, alcoholl, fried food, not exercising on a regular basis and then being surprised that their health is not great.
- Comment on Is it really worth the BS for a couple more years? 6 days ago:
I think a lot of it also isn’t luck. Avoiding alchohol and tobacco, exercising every day, maintaining contact with family, etc.
- Comment on Is it really worth the BS for a couple more years? 6 days ago:
Soda is poison pure and simple. I have it maybe once a year (occasional ginger ale on a plane). Don’t miss it, that stuff is nasty.

My grandma lived to be 99. She was still coherent and out working in the garden until 95. It’s really amazing when you see this.

- Comment on The C programming language is like debating a philosopher and Python is like debating someone who ate an edible 1 week ago:
I meant that with a Caterham or other kit cars you have to think about every little nut and bolt that goes into the car. You have to make sure everything is properly tightened and tuned or else something pretty catastrophic can happen. And that’s entirely on you and your ability to do everything to spec.
Whereas with a Mercedes most of that stuff was figured out already, and if you do need to work on it it probably involves more about checking the diagnostics and taking it to the garage. You don’t need to get every bolt perfectly tightened and tune the carbonator for every build. You take some off the shelf parts and bolt it on to what’s already there.

I will wait for evolution to take it’s course.
- Comment on The C programming language is like debating a philosopher and Python is like debating someone who ate an edible 1 week ago:
Python uses 10x the memory but probably 100x-1000x the CPU cycles to do the same thing. Also using libraries written for interpreted languages is going to bloat your memory footprint where c libraries are tiny and efficient.
You’ve obviously never looked at benchmarks because you’re one or two orders of magnitude off.
As someone who was trained in C and did most of my programming in it, yes it does everything you need but it’s a major pain in the ass doing it well. It’s slow to get things done and you need decades to get competent at it. Python allows you to get up and running a lot faster.
As cpu and ram are cheap compared to the days when C was a necessity, most programmers have made the decision that getting things going fast and easy was worth the trade off. The market has spoken. There is still a place for C or Rust, but there’s also a place for Python and other interpreted languages. You can make good programs in both but it’s a lot easier to make a garbage program in C.

Uses less memory until it inevitably springs a memory leak.
- Comment on The C programming language is like debating a philosopher and Python is like debating someone who ate an edible 1 week ago:
As someone who studied C exclusively in school and used it for the majority of programming projects I had in the real world, coming to Python now is like moving from a kit car like a Caterham to a Mercedes S class.

- Comment on What do we do when all the crts are gone? 3 weeks ago:
OLED’s tend to have better color gamut than CRT’s. I think you are probably noticing better color saturation on CRT’s. New double layer OLED’s without a white subpixel should largely fix this. There will always be a little latency on an OLED, but we are down to like 3ms which IMO is imperceptible. I do think good OLED’s can compete on most of CRT’s top points and vastly exceed it on many others (black levels, refresh rates, resolution, color gamut, etc.). CRT shaders are getting pretty good too. Yes one will never completely give you the experience of the other but we are pretty close now.
