I’m not that kind of computer person so I can’t speak confidently on the specifics. I imagine it might be a factor that windows is just more familiar to many people, lots of enterprise software was already written for this task, and common problems were solved.
A user in linux without admin rights is pretty limited in what they can do.
Windows isn’t really fit for development (outside of windows-specific targets), so. And it kind of sucks for just day to day usage. And most IT departments aren’t great, so linux is out.
I suppose. But I remember old games came on multiple disks.
I also think that chasing every higher graphics has reached diminishing returns. Style counts for more than fidelity, I think.
When I tried Percy it was really bad. I think it wasn’t even doing real screenshots, but some horrible serialization of the dom nonsense. Some of what came out of their tests just wasn’t accurate at all.
Every time I’ve tried to implement visual tests it’s a bad time.
A good unit test encodes intent. This kind of test, and snapshot tests, tends to be too broad. Something changed but was it on purpose? I dunno maybe just accept it. People don’t look at it closely. It’s numbing.
As others have said, you probably want to stop having shit randomly shared in multiple places. If you change something used in more than one place, probably manually check.
No.
“dying of whiteness” is a fascinating book about whites voting against their own interests so those people don’t get anything nice
not forget how easily Republicans fall in line
Their belief in hierarchy is core. Drives everything else. They’re bad people.
Interesting. I find that where I work, often the biggest problems are non-technical. It’s the upper manager that says “we don’t have time for automated testing” and then our releases take two days of manual testing and bug fixing.
Interesting. I dislike writing bash scripts so this might appeal to me, but probably not before a stable 1.x release.
I played paintball once and they had a “tag them out” rule. I snuck up on someone and tagged them. Pretty satisfying. Then I got shot with a paintball while standing there smug.
Apparently “that’s different and you know it”
This is conservative thought. Different rules for different people. In-groups to protect, out-groups to bind.
You can also see it when it’s like “when I needed welfare I was down on my luck and needed help. When they needed it, they were lazy cheats”
It’s poor empathy, poor reasoning, emotional dominance. They are, frankly, stupid
I can’t laugh at this kind of thing anymore because it just makes me think about how so many people sincerely, aggressively, believe nonsense
I guess? But imagine if enough people took a couple minutes to post about how organization XYZ sucks, and (because the stock markets are irrational vibes based) that caused their stocks to drop a few points. That’s the only thing they care about. I’m willing to put in a few minutes if it might emotionally harm an asshole.
Many of them are illogical, or have logic descending from extremely dubious axioms.
For example, “abortion is murder of an innocent baby” + “allow abortion for rape or incest” don’t square well together, but see commonly seen together.
I should ask the local pizza shop owner about this. He was pretty anti zohran. He said it’s because he grew up in a post Soviet country, and believed socialism would turn into poverty for all.
I was going to write “this depends on the ATS used” but I thought that was a safe assumption. Seems not so!
Tried to submit one and it didn’t seem to go through.
My hypothetical is a lot of recruiters are kind of bad at their job, but there’s so many desperate candidates that they don’t need to do much to get passable results.
A hiring manager told me when she fills a position, it automatically sends the email to the other candidates. It’s not a human touch.
I think it’s undeniable there are a lot of very stupid people, and many of them are loud gamers.
One of the problems is humans are social creatures. Facts don’t change minds. In-group pressure changes minds. (And sometimes horrific trauma, but only sometimes*). The typical person, confronted with an idea that contradicts a non-trivial belief, will evaluate primarily if the person presenting the belief is in-group. The same kind of message delivered by different people has very different outcomes.
With the Internet, idiots and assholes can find their own social groups to reinforce their shitty beliefs.
If we want to fix this, we’d have to do the long, expensive, and thankless work of getting them to see us as in-group, and getting them to then adopt better ideas. Incidentally, that’s how the right wing has been operating.
Laughing at them for being fucking morons is satisfying, but it’s like picking at a scab. It’s not going to heal.
Yes 100%. There’s a good chance whatever you’re working on with be on Linux, so being on windows locally is just an extra layer for problems to manifest. Plus windows is just weird compared to everything else.
I don’t want to fuss with the OS. I just want the basics like ~, cat, grep, curl, etc to work. I don’t want OneDrive. You can go get tooling to make windows more linux-like but, like, why half ass it.
With containers I guess it matters less. You could have a Windows host and Linux container, and probably not cause any problems with case folding or line feeds, but again: why half ass it.
Do you do software development work?
