Some random asshole on the internet had a similar challenge when it came to not generalizing 300,000,000 people and sadly failed their challenge :'(

As long as you remember that the cloud is just someone else's computer that they have admin rights on.

In contrast, banks all universally moved to single page apps lately, and every one of them sucks. Some suck more (we don't support you having more than one tab open while you are researching stocks) and some suck less (what is the back button for, anyway? Just ignore it). But they all suck.

And yes, users do care about using shitty stacks when they make shitty results.

It's on his Wikipedia page, this isn't something you have to try hard to identify.

You posted a thing celebrating a sociopath for using Linux. I think you need meds.

Ghost might be better for you, as it's aimed to be a more complete distro with an installer and desktop environment.

I mean, you computer's wifi still won't work, but at least you'll have a nice UI to show you all the ways it does not work.

Trump is famously sober.

I actually let my friends chew my face off and I do theirs.

From my pov I think you're repeating exactly what I said, but I appreciate the additional details.

My last point is that "the design life we choose" is usually dictated by non-engineering forces. A 12th century king can throw resources at a problem. A 20th century governor cannot, and doesn't care to. They care about the bridge lasting until the end of their term limits.

Yeppers that's the thought process. thanks for explaining better than me.

I'm considering most economic systems prior to...the last few centuries to be essentially slavery. If some random king owns everything....

Not the same as America's slavery of course, nor is it necessarily legally structured slavery as existed in many societies, but nevertheless.

I enjoy the argument because it's a taboo, so nobody has a good argument. Nobody thinks it's a real command. Nobody thinks for a moment Linus even wants that person dead. It's Just Not How We Do Things here in Polite Society. We say "fuck you, c-loving geriatric" but "I can't wait to see you in a grave, old man" is considered different even though the literal words are irrelevant. The speaker likely has no real interest in fucking the other coder, nor seeing them in a grave.

This amusingly puts it in precisely the same category as like, grandma being upset that their gkid won't wear a bra or shave their pits.
