Bullshit.

Hell they are in the same time zone, it’s just a straight shot down i75. What’s this opposite side of the country crap?

They are different, but a swing that big to the left in Florida is almost impossible without a national swing of serious size, thus Michigan which leans left already would be in the bag.

It’s highly improbable though. If she flips Florida, a state she’s down in despite the headline, she most likely won Michigan by a wide margin.

It’s possible, but like pigs learning to fly possible.

It really is also a states rights thing. The federal government, by design, has no say in how elections or driver’s licenses work.

That they have stepped in to the driver’s license space is an overstep of their authority, honestly.

The federal government is not the sovereign entity, the many states are.

Where are you crossing? Around here the population on both sides of the border are pretty indistinguishable, except for accent.

Game development is a very specific use case, and NOT what most people think of when talking about devs vs ops.

I’m talking enterprise software and SaaS companies, which would be a MUCH larger part of the tech industry then games.

There are a large number of devs who think public cloud as infrastructure is ALWAYS the right choice for cost and availability for example… Which in my experience is actually backwards, because legacy software and bad developers fail to understand the limitations of this platforms, that it’s untrustworthy by design, and outages insue.

In these scenarios understanding how the code interacts with actual hardware (network, server and storage or their IaaS counterparts) is like black magic to most devs… They don’t get why their designs are going to fall over and sink into the swamp because of their nievete. It works fine on their laptop, but when you deploy to prod and let customer traffic in it becomes a smoking hole.

“IT people” here, operations guy who keeps the lights on for that software.

It’s been my experience developers have no idea how the hardware works, but STRONGLY believe they know more then me.

Devops is also usually more dev than ops, and it shows in the availability numbers.

That would be great, she’s been a great governor.

Only thing that could be better is a Whitmer/Harris ticket or even a Whitmer/Shapiro ticket.

Even 20 years ago Linux was easier to install then Windows.

Last time I recall Linux being tricky was like late 90s.

Competition is great, a company that can’t produce a quality product and ships a CAR with beta level software that can’t update OTA is NOT competition.

The auto industry is highly unfavorable to startups, the competition you want will come from the old ICE OEMs.

Because AI is the new because blockchain.

The GameCube being your favorite console has a lot more to do with your age, than anything to do with the console.

Same reason the NES is my all time favorite.

I’m well aware of both, been in the industry for over 20 years.

But you still don’t seem to comprehend the cost or difficulty of the change.

Frankly the support options don’t seem very good either.

Deployment is not even half the battle, ongoing support is where the troubles really come out.

The staffing, the network and storage changes.

The suggestion to just use KVM and ansible is rather tone def.

Sounds like someone with limited experience in the industry, honestly.

You’ve not seen a wide variety of “shops” then, clearly.

Constructive dismissal

All Apple products are designed for people who don’t use technology.

They hide the useful bits so people don’t hurt themselves.

It’s the Duplo of computing.

Toyota is a bad bet when it comes to EVs.

They clearly have no interest in selling them.

Red hat, 25 years ago learned to recompile the kernel to make my sound card/modem work.

Because it’s shit.

If I apt install an app, I expect it NOT to be a snap. I want it to use shared libraries, not bring its own along. They hide from you that they are installing the snap not deb package.

Then you run into all sorts of permissions issues accessing the filesystem from the snap app… Because snap is rather broken in this regard.

Functionally snap is a worse solution then deb, but I guess it’s easier on the developer/maintainer as you don’t get lost in shared dependincy hell.

I feel snaps should be an option if you need cutting edge version of a software that can’t use your shared libs, but never the default install method.

It was always useless dopamine exploiting garbage.

It served to pump up peoples egos, feed narcissists & mostly not do anything of any real value. It was always a place that would drag random individuals through the virtual streets as some sort of cathartic virtue signaling stoning event for ‘wrong thinking’ or ‘wrong speaking’.

What Musk has done to it has obviously made it worse, but it was never a net gain for society to have something like Twitter.

It was always a very problematic entity, outside of anyone’s political leanings or whatnot.
