Lol that’s not a false equivalency. You don’t get to just decide words mean things they don’t because it sounds nice in your head.

If you’re so sensitive to being corrected the easy way to avoid it is to simply not create misinformation in the first place.

Yeah probably lol

EZ. Your original totally incorrect comment that you’re trying to pretend didn’t mean what it obviously meant.

You’d have to design hardware specifically that’s compatible with Linux

You don’t have to design hardware you have to write drivers.

It’s OK to admit you’re wrong.

You’re just embarrassing yourself at this point.

The cool thing is that since it is correct there is no barrier to vanilla wine using it, and stuff running well in vanilla wine instead of requiring proton’s hijinks is cool.

The only thing that is lacking for compatibility is drivers. If that’s what you meant you should have said so instead of saying hardware needs to be designed. If that’s not what you meant then you don’t know what you’re talking about.

You’d have to design hardware specifically that’s compatible with Linux

What makes you think that?

I wouldn’t assume that Java is only half as fast as C for every workload. It’s probably a lot closer than you think in a lot of real world scenarios.

I could never understand why microsoft is so against local user account. There’s a similar freedom from corporate fuckery when using Linux and everyone is ok with that.

Everything that you said is correct, except the prevalence of the career advice. I would bet most people looking for their first job out of school don’t even know COBOL is a language.

I wouldn’t necessarily agree it needs to be rewritten. Hiring programmers that are willing to work in cobol would certainly be harder than other languages though, because you’ll have a much smaller candidate pool and people would be unlikely to see learning cobol as a good career investment

Java can be pretty damn efficient for long running processes because it optimizes at runtime. It also can use new hardware features (like cpu instructions) without having to compile for specific platforms so in practice it gets a boost there. Honestly, the worst thing about Java is the weird corporate ecosystem that produces factoryfactory and other overengineered esoteric weirdness. It can also do FFI with anything that can bind via c ABI so if some part of the program needed some hand optimized code like something from BLAS it could be done that way.

All that to say it doesn’t matter what language they use anyway, because rewriting from scratch with a short timeline is an insane thing to do that never works.

So we’re teaching the children that only high level art is worthwhile and they shouldn’t even try to make at themselves because they suck at it and you can just generate it. Cool.

Looks like its only optionally required by plasma-meta. I’m not familiar with it but it looks like a GUI for editing settings rather than something fundamental so I’d be surprised if uninstalling it is the source of your issues.

The one that comes to mind is changing the security group for lambdas from an auto generated one (unspecified in terraform) to a specified one. It had some kind of chicken/egg situation so I ended up having to run two change sets - one to have both security groups set then another to remove the extra. Had to do the same thing in cdk and it just worked. There have been other similar things where everything is fine until you hit some edge case and then you’re just wasting time and money doing acrobatics to work around the quirks (that don’t exist in cdk).

I’m not in the devops group and they’re attached to TF for some reason so I don’t get a say in what we use, but I am the “everything is busted call in anyone that can help” guy so I end up dealing with the problems lol

In my experience with AWS, you run into issues using terraform that CDK just doesn’t have. I’d rather have a different reliable system for each cloud environment than one system that is suboptimal for each environment. Since the providers are different, you don’t really have anything in common besides using HCL as the language anyway.

Lol plenty of stuff with Mary sues comes out including in anime and nobody cares (except you apparently)

If their claim is so preposterous then why are they providing sources and you’re not. Writing longer and longer walls of text and being more and more disrespectful isn’t going to convince anyone. If you have evidence just provide it instead of insisting is exists.

Provide the evidence?
