Yeah we're talking about different kinds of software. I'm mainly talking about CLI software and it seems like I didn't notice that Jetbrains killed Appcode...

Oh I absolutely agree that it's really bad, but for most (non-ios) things you Don have to use it?

Why would XCode be a problem? But I fully understand that for FOSS projects - especially without easy&cheap Mac CI solutions you're back in the 90s of manual testing etc...

Yeah and you can even have a Linux like experience with nix.

But it's a lot like Linux except when it isn't... There's a lot of little differences. And things like cross compiling from MacOs to non-Mach targets really sucks because it seems like often people do not really maintain such a usecase.

I use it for two reasons:

• 90% of martial arts seminars in my region are organized via Facebook events.
• I need an account to maintain our sport clubs page

But I wouldn't say I enjoy it...

The title really sells short his accomplishment. At least I associate the circa 1200km along the longest side with "the length of Italy".

Oi hopefully that business model will work out for them...

When regulators make this reasonable. A lot of OEMs are interested in FOSS, but liability makes it hard - especially for safety critical domains.

Some thoughts from my side (coming from another domain - more embedded):

• Whether you use a message string or a named bool does not change anything. It's still logging.
• It's of course nice to just trace everything and filter / search afterwards, but in embedded for example your machine may just crash if you try that. For that log levels are the traditional way to filter before a log is written.
• I don't get how timestamping / ordering is necessarily worse for logging. Maybe it's just the framework that is used?
• You sure can have hierarchical information in log frameworks

In my opinion log levels sure make sense, but it may vary wildly depending on what you're doing. We run our software in different environments:

• Development machines / VMs
• Development boards
• Production ECUs

And it's run by different sets of people:

• Devs
• Integrators
• Customers
• ...

Depending on the combination of where / who you get different requirements.

I get that Logging is hard and often you get messages with a wrong log level or you're missing a message at a crucial point etc. But tracing is not better in every way - they should complement each other.

YMMV but I use https://github.com/johnpapa/vscode-peacock to differentiate multiple windows in VSCode.

Which at least in Germany should lead to failing vehicle inspections.

Doubtful. Android automotive OS runs on a single ECU in the car while a lot more are in there running QNX, Linux or some embedded OSes (sometimes there are more than 100 such ECUs in the car). So there's no guarantee that the "problematic" services are even running on this ECU (I bet it's more distributed). Furthermore updating / changing the software of a single ECU is done using special hardware or through some kind of gateway ECU. They will perform validation on the to-be-flashed software to ensure it's from the vendor itself.

And even if you'd get it flashed I can guarantee you that nothing will work.

Many communities exist, but mostly on paper.

What I haven't found yet is something substantial and informative like /r/askhistorians.

Seems like the whole article can be condensed to "Dragging and dropping text does what you expect. Dragging and dropping directories/files will insert the absolute path".

And that's why it's so important that that is not undermined: https://techcrunch.com/2023/04/18/in-letter-to-european-commission-open-source-bodies-say-cyber-resilience-act-could-have-chilling-effect-on-software-development/

I do have small kids and thus not a lot of time for myself. The time I do have I spend on martial arts, kettlebells, learning to play the guitar or just hanging on the couch reading and trying not to fall asleep. If the kids are awake I'm mostly doing stuff with them like playing with Lego, role playing or whatever they feel like in the moment.
