Politics is about influencing other people. Engineering is about managing constraints. Sometimes these constraints come from other people. If you want to influence a constraint you don’t like, then you often have to influence other people (i.e. politics).
I don’t see anything strange with this.
Speaking up against the manager is politics though.
2025 was the year when Xbox was outsold by Nex Playground. Xbox is not even top 3 in yearly hardware sales anymore.
This only checks that functions are called in the right order. Not that the functions are doing the right thing or if the functions are called with the correct arguments. Quite pointless testing IMO.
For example, it won’t capture cases where cmdChargeCreditCard returns a payment ID that exists for cmdCompleteOrder to use.
Set up an in-memory database, or test against a real database. You don’t test side effects by pretending that the side effects are correct.
After you’ve cloned everything you’ll Arc<Mutex<>> everything.
Linux don’t need anything to challenge Windows. Windows is doing great on their own.

Hah, wishful thinking
Dealing with memory usage will likely require significant rewrites and architectural changes. It will take years.
The ”memory optimizations” we’ll see is the removal of features but charge the same price. Software shrinkflation. Will require same amount of memory though.
The RAM shortage will end before any meaningful memory optimizations can be made.
This is kind of how it works in countries that haven’t been infected by Amazon Prime. In Sweden for example most e-commerce is done directly from individual stores. There are aggregation sites like prisjakt which lists prices of all different stores so you can find the best deal.
It’s not perfect and maybe not as convenient as Amazon Prime, but I don’t see how a fediverse alternative could do it better.
No idea, but probably Ubuntu ~15 years ago
Haven’t started a company myself, but I’ve worked with a few people who have.
The common theme is that you need to involve potential clients early. Understand their wants and needs. What you learn from the first interactions will likely surprise you, and greatly reshape your product vision.
Don’t build a product in isolation for two years. That’s a sure way to make something no one wants to pay for.
Part of designing large systems is to make research easier. Any question regarding the code base should be easy to find the answer to. No one can keep track of all 100,000 constantly changing lines of code, so make it easy to use the code as reference.
The problem is when the system is built by Rube Goldberg fanatics.
In short, it’s easier to manage your data if there’s one single source of truth for it.
Every time I’ve tried ”fractional scaling” on X11 it’s just a blurry mess. Like as if it renders at a lower resolution and then scales it up by 125%. I don’t want all my text and icons to be tiny without having to configure every single application I’m using (with mixed results).
With Wayland it’s sharp even with 125% scaling.
Squadron 42 will be a separate story campaign, when it eventually releases
I know a fair bit of gang signs. From left to right you have P, L, A, S, M and A.
Yes, I’m just elaborating.
