I use Microsoft SwiftKey for the same reasons, find it hard to switch or get used to anything else.
Having used SwiftKey since before Microsoft acquired them, I’m a little annoyed at all the shit they’ve tacked onto the keyboard (like no, I don’t need Bing and ChatGPT in my keyboard, thank you very much). But nothing else let’s me mix languages in the same way as SwiftKey.
Except that Spez can’t convert those options until some time after IPO and probably only in a staggered way.
In a lot of modern work flows this is incompatible with the development pattern.
For example, at my job we have to roll a test release through CI that we then have to deploy to a test kubernetes cluster. You can’t even do that if the build is failing because of linting issues.
I never did Rails but I used Ruby for many personal projects in the 2000s.
When showing stuff to my coworkers or friends, I often joked how I tried to make my code look like it was already gzipped.
Depends heavily on the market segment. I also work in Europe and in my 15 years as a software developer (the first 6-7 as C/C++ developer) I’ve never seen anyone use Visual Studio.
I have one of these, but only use it for SteamVR. Does this mean I can’t update either?
AFAIK, the drivers come from Windows.
Edit:
From the article:
Existing Windows Mixed Reality devices will continue to work with Steam through November 2026, if users remain on their current released version of Windows 11 (version 23H2) and do not upgrade to this year’s annual feature update for Windows 11 (version 24H2). This deprecation does not impact HoloLens.
Well fuck. This headset is the only reason I keep a Windows PC around at all.
Works for me in Belgium. Weird.
Where is this template from?
What would you do if you had a million dollars?
I don’t know if shorter games should command a lower price. It depends on the value you get out of it.
One issue is that unions have failed to globalize while industries have. CDPR could simply chose to bypass the union by opening a dev studio in a country with no or less union presence.
Given the recent wave of layoffs in the game industry, they’ll have no shortage finding capable people.
Back when I was still in school, I ran a few tests on real world LISP and Java (the then dominant language, this was in the late days of Sun Microsystems succes).
Turns out most LISP programs had fewer parentheses then Java had braces, parens and brackets.
Sorry, yes, that was durability. I got it mixed up in my head. Availability had lower targets.
But I stand by the gist of my argument - you can achieve a lot with a live/live system, or a 3 node system with a master election, or…
High availability doesn’t have to equate high cost or complexity, if you can take it into account when designing the system.
I used to work on an on premise object storage system before, where we required double digits of “nines” availability. High availability is not rocket science. Most scenarios are covered by having 2 or 3 machines.
I’d also wager that using the cloud properly is a different skillset than properly managing or upgrading a Linux system, not necessarily a cheaper or better one from a company point of view.
Got to agree with @[email protected] here, although it depends on the scope of your service or project.
Cloud services are good at getting you up and running quickly, but they are very, very expensive to scale up.
I work for a financial services company, and we are paying 7 digit monthly AWS bills for an amount of work that could realistically be done with one really big dedicated server. And now we’re required to support multiple cloud providers by some of our customers, we’ve spent a TON of effort trying to untangle from SQS/SNS and other AWS specific technologies.
Clouds like to tell you:
The last item is true, but the first two are only true if you are running a small service. Scaling up on a cloud is not cost effective, and maintaining a complicated cloud architecture can be FAR more complicated than managing a similar centralized architecture.
Surely Elon would prefer the old Lucid fork, https://www.xemacs.org/
Thanks for the suggestion, but I really, really dislike voice to text input.
