By this argument, few CEOs, salespeople, or advertising execs should ever have been heard.
Also, in the history of science and philosophy, you’ll find that the majority of those whose work significantly advanced human knowledge were committed to their work and to the promotion of their ideas.
Systems should still be able to be taken offline, though, even if that means failure.
For example, let’s say you have a service that uses another service that raised its cost from free to $100/hour and you call it 1000 times per hour.
Even though you may not have a fallback, and your service may fail, you need to be able to disable it. In this case, an admin is unavailable and the only recourse would be to lower the capacity to 0, since you have that control.
That doesn’t negate the benefit of validation, but don’t be too heavy-handed with validation, just as a reaction to failure without fully thinking it through.
Mastery of something to serve or help and seeing good things happen from that is one of the things that bring happiness to me.
Often, I’ve blamed my employers for being miserable, but I realize now that they can contribute to happiness or unhappiness but they aren’t the primary reason for frustration or unhappiness.
My health, primarily my mental health, affects how I act and how I interpret things.
Even the best people that aren’t mentally unwell can be unhappy.
However, being unhappy most of the time is mental illness, whether it’s because of what seems like an unreasonably difficult environment or one that’s seemingly reasonable.
Some may bounce out of it and others can’t seem to, but being stuck in a mode of “I had promise and they killed it” doesn’t help anyone.
In this case maybe the “no comment” was a joke, maybe it was a bad fit, but those that aren’t unhappy most of the time should get help.
1. It could have and still could be fixed. WSL commands and syntax are not yet integrated as an optional standard command shell. It’s separate and not equal.
2. Mutually compatible doesn’t solve all of the time wasted having to reformat as FAT32 or NTFS or to configure and support multiple filesystems like CIFS and NFS.
3. MS calls it Office. It’s neither the same team nor the same product. The macOS versions of the product are crippled with less configurability and fewer expected features. MacOS Remote Desktop provided by Microsoft is not equivalent to RDPing from Windows 10. And why shouldn’t you have the same product available for Linux? How do you know what those users want?
4. Another option would be to collaborate.
My point is not that anyone specifically dropped the ball, but that incompatibility and some kinds of changes waste time and resources.
Healthy competition is doing the best you can do, not tripping your opponent or excluding them from the race.
Could someone add support to automatically test this on an emulator?
Or, better yet, put in checks that prohibit future code from including those bad char seqs?
This is bigger than the cool pics of nostalgic hardware.
It reminds me of other compatibility problems over the years like:
1. Microsoft choosing the opposite slash and a different way of doing CLI options via slash vs dash.
2. Windows, Apple, and Linux not agreeing on a good filesystem and method of network access and supporting it together. Incompatibilities have wasted a great deal of time, and it’s unreasonable to think that every IT department will make changes to allow everything to work smoothly.
3. Microsoft Office, Lync, Skype for Business, Remote Desktop, etc. not including 1:1 functionality in the macOS versions of their products. This is evil since the user can’t do things that others can. Similarly, Microsoft changed menus and where things are located between versions. Should a wooden chair be the Mac version of a couch because they’re both butt-compatible? Should marmite be the next version of strawberry jam because they both spread on toast and are tasty?
4. Programming language tools and libraries that favor one OS over another or one well-used database over another.
While supporting compatibility can be a timesuck, here we have fish shell spending the time supporting a minority, which is great.
But large companies, leaders of small well-used projects, and everything in-between are self-sabotaging the future of all life on our planet by wasting others’ time because they want to do their own thing or want to make people not like some other company’s product.
Incompatibility and not working together isn’t healthy competition, beneficial capitalism, or good business. It’s going to kill us.
The art for the show makes sense, but celebrating the art and discussing it as if you’re ascribing awe and respect to the terrible men that created it is wrong.
Hitler was a monster and the Germans that supported him were monsters. I used to think their inventions were neat, but now that I know more about what happened there, it sickens me.
