For me it'd be two aspects:

1. lack of knowledge and clarity whether my use case is affected and to what degree.
2. worry over the extra operational overhead.

For (1), it's not necessarily about the explicit workflow, like the GUI apps and stuff; but also the implicit workflow as well: the stuff going on with the machine because you are not touching it (even if it is because you've touched it before).

Some examples. I need to forbid PA and have either ALSA or Pipewire (or both) with alsa-ucf disabled because of a hardware bug in my machine's audio chipset. I can one-time accommodate the required kernel boot time options and ALSA configs without issue on Debian, can I do that on an immutable? Am I forced to the barely-progressing-past-failure that is wayland, or can I use the Xorg setup that has for decades proven to me to work? Do I get to escape the enforced GTK compose key mapping on my own, or do I need to break immutableness to fix it? Can the programs that I launch through wine on the user account I set up for work, interact with the apps I have on my normal user's desktop (incl. copy-paste, desktop screenshots, sending global key events for stuff like Teamviewer, Supremo, Anydesk), or do I need to fall back to a Virtualbox VM?

And for (2), it's quite simple. I have a 8 GB RAM machine. I'm barely managing to survive this world of nu-web development where hello world apps download 150 MB of a typokit SDK from Cloudflare or something. If an immutable environment means that everything even the Linux equivalent of W95's notepad.exe is now containerized, that's an extra memory and resource overhead that my system likely can not serve and that I don't really have an use for anyway (why would I want a text editor to not load up a text file I told it to load???).

La mejor solución es unar un sistema de archivos clásico y comprobado como ext3/ext4. Ningún sysadmin serio que conozca por lo menos usa btrfs.

Veremos. Suena interesante de paseo. En mis mapas dice que se pueed llegar fácil en troley metro.

Aprovecho de consultar acá ya que acá lo saben todo, pero, ¿alguien cacha si en Santiago hay algo así como un outlet tech? Donde uno pueda comprar discos duros, pantallas, etc..., de segunda selección o refaccionados a buen precio.

Es para un amigo que busca equipo nuevo y tiene pendiente hacerse una cuenta en feddit.

Feliz Pascua del 420 cauros

Hmmm por un lado estoy tentado para divertirme, pero por el otro lado, intencionalmente no tengo cuenta en r/.

Me pregunto qué pasará al enlazar este video en r/republicadechile...

is a dead suffix

sure, if you go with that attitude!

por mantener mi política de “no trabajo fuera del horario laboral” uwu

O sea, ¿es lo mínimo que espero de un empleado?

Si trabajara fuera del horario laboral, me podría llegar una demanda.

Oh wait esto pensando de manera racional, no como capitalista...

¿Qué tal fue su paso estudiando base de datos?

Me fue bien y lo hallé divertido... después salí al mundo real y caché que la gente usa Excel como base de datos y pienso, "¿qué diablos hace la gente por qué no hacen las cosas bien cuando modelar bases de datos decentes es casi gratis?" y luego me recuerdo, claro, es que no me contrataron para asesorarlos.

En general la asignatura no la hallo mala onda, pero sí tienes que tener una buena base de lógica, gramáticas y matemáticas discretas para ir a sacarle provecho afuera, si no no más instalar postgresql y lo dejas haciendo la pega solo.

Estamos viendo los fundamentos junto con Oracle SQL Data Modeler.

Yo creo que por ahí va gran parte del problema. Oracle es conocida por arruinar todo lo que toca, tocaron MySQL y se fue a la mierda al punto que lo forkearon en MariaDB. Además, como Google, está enfocada en hacerte vendor lock-in para que dependas de ellos: te venden problemas, no soluciones. Y en cuanto a gestores visuales de bases de datos lo mejor (excepto en el uso de recursos) es lo que viene derivado de Eclipse, como DBeaver...

Furthermore, it should be pronounced like it was a Greek philosopher.

Brands are nouns and can (and are) thus genericized.

Doesn't synapse need like, a server cluster to run? The self-hostable service is supposed to be something owo, I think.

Hopefully no one is asking developers to be virtuous (even tho, to be fair, if we are going to be asking that we should also expect the code to be wholly bugs-free!), but how many times they actually "keep their beliefs to themselves and focus on technical issues in the project"? On whichever side. It's just not a thing that can reasonably be avoided all the time between humans.

But the reality of these times is that behaviour outside the field of programming is representative and/or predictive of behaviour in the field of programming, when it comes to literally working with other people. And this is not only about the act of commiting changes or filing PRs, it's about the why of programming and the ways of delivery as well. Someone who strongly associates with barbaric beliefs is less likely to want to spend their spare time working in peace for all, and more likely to be wanting to work on software that at least in some way carries or represents those beliefs, for example in capturing and using user data, or in aiding systems used by the military to kill children of "non-citizens". So being "absolutely" uncaring does not really make sense.

Nah, I chose DDG and got a better result, but thanks!

Se pueden aumentar los días de vacaciones y reducir los feriados. Sobre todo los irrenunciables.

El problema no es el descanso per se, el problema es casi todos los trabajadores parando al mismo tiempo.

El problema es que, como los capitalistas son capitalistas, das apertura a que no todos los trabajadores deben parar al mismo tiempo, los capitalistas se las arreglarán para sacar una excusa de que justo sus empleados no califican para un determinado feriado, o todos los feriados. Y como ellos pueden pagar por la ley...

A mí tampoco me gusta tener un país detenido, ni menos tres días enteros sólo pro una religión relativamente pequeña; pero la verdad prefiero eso a que el control de los feriados esté plenamente bajo argumentos capitalistas.

Good olde Conversations for Android, as well as Monocles. Can't speak for ios, I am not paid enough to touch that dev crap (literally – they expect you to pay to even touch their dev crap).

What does “empathy in communication” have to do with a software project?

Not having read Stein's work, I can only mostly guess it's related to the emphasis on the "communication" part as it applis to effective communication of duties, milestones, failure modes and reactions in a project. Torvalds's tirades for example were awesome and most of the time well-deserved for the idiot trying to accidentally the kernel, but are quite more of a bummer and a momentum-killer when looked at at a project-wide scope.

I’m all for empathy, don’t get me wrong, but ideally software projects are more focused on technical correctness than feels

(Not) sorry to say, that age has long sailed. Remote teambuilding, capitalism and AI have made it that we now need to actually care and be watchful why or how something is being made to work, on the technical sense. Just look at the situation with Mozilla or Signal (offering systems that can be described as free, but are being offered so in a rather adversarial manner).

Está bien. No se puede confiar en que la lacra que es la barra del colo se comporte.

La verdad, hace falta maś mano dura para solucionar este problema de las barras.
