No play, only buy! dog frisbee meme

I don’t think it’s most people. I (choose to) believe that’s a loud minority.

Bit more than 72h. We were doing a practical project at uni and had a deadline on the following Tuesday. We got to work on Saturday. We made it on time, though, everything worked. 10am that day we had a presentation scheduled.

And then somebody short-circuited one of the motor control boards and it stopped working. That’s when I left to go sleep for a day.

That must have been terribly satisfying.

I’m sure the workbook still exists somewhere, though, ‘just in case’. And someone argued that the new way is much less accessible than the workbook.

I’ve always interpreted it as someone who’s here only temporarily. They plan to go back eventually and as such stick to expat social groups with similar issues for e. g. temp permits as opposed to permanent permits for immigrants.

Decades of speed increases in hardware, yet software is slower than ever because we’re wasting it on JavaScript.

But colored folders!

Also, Windows is catching up on the breaking of things, while Linux has improved dramatically. At least some distros are incredibly stable.

I’d love that, too. Immich has more fine grained user control on their timeline, though.

The English abbreviation is in fact FEDRO.

At least for ASTRA, for software developed in their projects that’s already the case. Frameworks etc. used are not covered, but all source code for PLC and SCADA are theirs and you’re required to hand over all code as part of documentation at the end. As a zip on a USB key, never to be looked at again.

I’ll gladly upload my stuff into some repo they allow me to. I’ve inquired about it in the past - I wrote a piece of sw that fills a requirement hole left by a widely used SCADA tool - but they outright forbid it. That was about a year ago.

My point is less about open source and more about how they have no clue how to handle their IP even now. It’s a nice gesture at best (at least currently. Maybe there’s more on the way).

Been contracting for the Swiss government for years, namely ASTRA. They have 0 concept of how that should happen. It’s their IP, but they don’t want to take it, host it, maintain it, or do anything else with it once the project is done.

Do they just expect others to foot the bill? Sure, free GitHub exists, but everything else? Open sourcing without maintenance is abandonware and usually useless.

My 12yo cousin knows what an idle game is but never heard of RPG. I’ve got some edumocating to do.

That’s what I thought, too. I’m sure it’s a problem SOMEWHERE, but did we just get slapped with a global solution to a locally inexistent issue?

I’ve heard that there’s a measurable effect, though, even in Europe, so I guess it’s okay. The extent of that effect? Probably comparable to non-plastic straws. Meaning almost none, just political.

… This is a really bad time for a “I am Spartacus” thing.
