20 years on giant enterprise codebases. And any enterprise worth their salt at this point will be scanning these servers and flagging eosl software.

My experience the last five years of the 20 - security and service life trumps all fucking complaints about complexity.

To the point where it’s the opposite and I’m fielding weekly questions about why we’re still running an older 3.7.9 version. Among 50 other things.

Meh. I’ve ported a fair many py2 projects to 3. At this point just bite the bullet. Even from a security standpoint. Trying to not let my bias seep through - but it’s been so long.

That’s fucking heart breaking. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for doing what you did. What a good person the boss was.

I won’t help the conversation here but I really tried to give them a shot. I don’t know if it’s Brian Herbert or the second author that is bad - but it was just such bad writing. I even gave it another shot years after I finished the last Frank Herbert book in a second attempt. Got halfway through before just getting frustrated with it. Tried multiple books just to mark sure I wasn’t hiding one too harshly.

I wanted to. I wanted more Dune content. I may have even given it much more of a chance than I would with any other sci-fi series.

So I’m convinced there is something up with William. Or at least it’s a misdirect.

I’m still happy it’s just not outright fantasy. No idea on the source material and how closely this follows. I would have expected more forward momentum in the first four episodes - but still great atmosphere and direction so far.

All other toppers in this comment thread. I see you. I see you for what you are. Weak. Topping has killed so many brain cells that I envy you. You probably let all that fake news dictate how you consider ostrich scarves. Do not buy into the hype brothers and sisters. Resist!

Bottom. And quite honestly fuck toppers. Fuck them up their stupid topper asses. I will die on this hill. Modern corporate America has shown me. They proved to me that it’s time to fight. Fight for what we believe in. Fight for what we know is right. Thank you totinos pizza rolls - I know that it is a civic mandate to stand up to this injustice.

Bottom. God. Damn. Bottom.

Docker containers in programming are reusable environments. Basically instead of manually setting up an operating system environment from scratch - you give your program this extra layer where you specify each and every thing that will be on the environment.

If your program was always tested on windows 10 instead of windows 9 - you basically have a way to guarantee it always has windows 10. If your program always used x version of Linux a boom, guaranteed. It adds some complexity but reduces and removes randomness from the concept of deploying applications you’ve created.

Armando is such a good writer. Veep. Thick of it. Death of Stalin. In the loop. All are comedy classics and heavily recommended. I will give him the benefit of the doubt on anything. He’s built up a lot of goodwill over the years.

Team Memmy. It’s freaking great. And the amount of updates they post to the test channel. Fantastic. It’s nice logging in once a day and seeing some cool functionality pushed out.

The way these conversations usually shake out is something like “how do we improve morale and do a nice thing?” And the topic of money almost never comes up.

Agreed on all counts. The question is way too abstract to draw any meaningful conclusions from it. I don’t even know why they would bother posing the question or printing the results. Everything about the original is just meaningless.

Took a second to click that this was your company bonus. Wtf.

should we give them money? Nahhh. What do they like? Trucks. That’s it. They like trucks. And they have bad breath. I’ve got an idea that will only cost us a couple thousand.

Holy fuck another 3 paragraph essay. Maybe the part I fucking quoted

Trying again

forcing them to pay a extraordinarily more than what most of their competitors are paying.

You literally ignore every counterpoint and then inundate your responses with content that doesn’t apply. Try again.

More words != compelling argument or facts

So Apple is essentially singling out 15% of developers and forcing them to pay a extraordinarily more than what most of their competitors are paying.

But that’s not true. And your response to this in the other comment chain was three paragraphs on sms rates. Seems like you believe somehow Apple is unique in this regard.

Ok? Agree? Not arguing against any of that.

But you know it’s just not Apple right? This is standard rates at this point. No one was arguing against your point - but there is an industry high rate at play here.

This seems to be the standard that all store fronts use. With maybe an exception on epic who purposefully went lower than the industry norm to try and excite game publishers to their storefront.

Just from some cursory googling - google and Apple are right in line. 30% with some drops into the 15% mark after time has passed in case of subscription payments.

Edit: have not been following this story but it seems like kind of an uphill battle. We know what the argument will be - it’s x percent but you’re using our product and infrastructure and we have to invest people and resources to verifying apps getting published.

Feels like the law suits that involve “allowing multiple app stores” had a higher chance of succeeding (though I have no idea the status of those lawsuits so maybe that’s already off the table)

It’s an exceptionally rare thing — in life or in business — that you get a second chance to make another big impression," the chief tweeted. “Twitter made one massive impression and changed the way we communicate. Now, X will go further, transforming the global town square.”

Yes yes. Indeed. I love referring to a company by a single letter. Think about all of the great SEO will come from this! Think about the great way this will unite us all!
