That just means „not suited for everyones needs and taste“ - tge same goes for another license that a company chose. Others like it less.

there may be a part of the population who likes to put their mobile phone into their jeans’ front pocket instead of having to carry a daypack for it or these new cases to carry them outside on a string... thats why i like ~4 inch phones
Why should it be wrong to tell how someone doesn’t like the textual presentation of the tool?
(Edit: fixed typos)
Why? Even though it makes me clueless, i dont see how it’s more crazy than many other things people do to themselves, others, and the environment. Having a few crazy people doing some physical and mental exercises and calling that Operating Systems (as far as my understanding of it goes as of yet) is neither the craziest nor the most dangerous thing i’ve seen on this planet...
Where are the sources for this Open Source System?
Anything public is vague, (ab)using computer science terms for something that as i guess so far seems more like a physical/mental practice, and everything that could help to understand it better is not public but offered to be bought.
This makes it more clear...
Especially, it seems its not software to run on a Computer.
To me the slides dont help understanding what it is and what i can do with it / what it can do for me...
It seems not to be in the interest or capabilities of the authors to give people a simple, few sentences explanation about this - and clarity and simplicity of communication is not one of this System’s goals obviously...
Might still be interesting.
With „worse“ you mean what exactly? Probably just „not fitting my personal needs and ideas“? That doesn’t make something generally worse... or can you tell me how it’s bad for me?
Not explicitly - nor did I, you know, the sun don’t shine in many places - but implicitly it was saying i should do just that with my privacy expectations and our laws about them.
A bank solving your issue as “acceptable risk” and trust, and it results in me being able to access my card and bank account, to me it’s “just fine”.
If google takes the path of rather locking everything down then risking to lose a cent, it’s safe for them and bad for customers... not fine.
Sure risk is never just dissolving into light, nuce smelling smoke. Someone has to take and handle it.
I propose it’s the company who makes billions to handle it gracefully for customers ...
I did that and i didn’t like latex. Especially error messages in case of wrong latex code was extremely unhelpful, pointing to code lines far away from the actual erroneous line. I might be too stupid... but that’s how it felt, and i imagine being able to use simple markdown much more useable.
Yes! There you can let yourself get sued for a few millions because you didn’t mark a coffee cup as containing hot stuff or didn’t write in the usage instructions of a microwave oven that it’s unsuited to dry a cat after bathing... much simpler, clearer, and safer market there...
So the post i replied to was helpful/constructive?
I am not even thinking that GDPR is implemented/written very greatly, and i was fearing too that it will mainly help to put small businesses out of any product category where storing even just an Email address is necessary(eg have an login and want to enable users to restoa forgotten password) while big companies have their lawyers to allow them keep abusing our data on the edge of legal possibilities and not to our favour...
So Im not yet sure if having no GDPR is better or worse than having none... Just, simply saying if you have data protection laws i avoid your market without any detailed reason or proposal how to improve doesn’t bring us forward...
Not every artist makes art to make a living if it, nor do they need to. Some can’t (e.g. because they don’t have and struggle to aquire the necessary business skills) and some don’t even want that... they just wanna make some art and are happy to do it just as a hobby, no business, no chores... There’s nothing wrong with that , it even has some upsides, because you really absolutely never need to do the slightest sacrifice in your works for economic or marketing reasons.
Thanks for staying away! If you’re not interested in caring about our privacy and personal data concerns, you‘re very welcome to shove your products up to where the sun doesn’t shine...
To sum up the discussion of why this is either absolutely right / absolutely wrong, How about: „mono/poly-repo - none of both is THE single solution for every usecase in every organization and project“? Besides that, sure let’s keep analyzing the pros and cons of each in different scenarios...
If it requires installing something extra that you otherwise don’t need the mass market won’t join...
Also in general the masses probably will never see why to pay 10 bucks or whatever for quality content as they are happy being served the other stuff... i mean, ads wouldn’t be so successful if there weren’t people viewing the crap content they are placed in... even less being clicked on.
But there are thousands of people even responding to spam mails and sending money to some Nigerian Kings...
Wait. How about paying quality content from these. I mean, just telling them your brother has a million in the bank and they just need to pay 1000 to get it out and be rewarded with 10% etc... instead of nothing as usual, they get quality content! Ok after reading too much of that they won’t do it anymore. Selfdestructing Business.
Isn’t that what flattr is about?
Stealing it would be if they block ads and show their own ads(as some blockers seem to do). Providing people who don’t want to see ads with a software that enables them to hide them is a valuable service of it’s own, and i don’t see what’s wrong with charging money for the significant development and ongoing blocklist management effort.
It’s the content providers that need to find ways to get paid for content and the users who need to understand that content needs someone to create it and these people need to make a living. That being said, a lot of content out there is low quality abd even written fir nothing but attracting search engines - creating traffic and views which get paid by advertisers. So there is a psrt of content and providers nobody will want to pay for and nobody will be missing if it’s gone. The people creating that stuff need to find a way to make a living off something that actually somebody wants and needs...
Probably. Clearly if you happen to have a butcher at hand to get you the liver. Not sure if nowadays you could just bring a random dig to a butcher and ket him extract the liver for you - might be hygienic standards preventing to do it. Earlier might be the belief that dogs are dirty etc. but i don’t know...
Many assumptions about the knowledge of the persons who shall apply the guidelines - but might be right.
Thanks! Very important!
Big and heavy - requires anatomic knowledge (you know there was no Wikipedia showing exactly where that dog carries it’s liver)...
I don’t think there’s reasonable hope.
Mainstream people dont need and dont value products being great in every detail.
I don’t know what they need. But as google is still successful with a search engine that used to be great a decade ago because it delivered results for exactly what i was looking for and nothing else, and now is more a „whatever you search, we‘ll serve you some results no matter if words you search really appear there, they seem to be happy being served anything wether it’s what they ordered or not...
For the minority with high demands on products his is difficult because we have to look for new providers again and again after the logic of growth makes companies shift to cater there products to the mainstream... after using us as beta testers and advertisers.
Why not just tell the user something is taking long to calculate or load (maxbe due slow network)?
Thanks! Sounds great and I‘ll look into it for the next project/use case!
Basically agree that simple things should be simple and complex things possible - and that’s from my experience not yet met with standard k8s.
And having no „end users“ (app developers) on a conference about tools that should serve exactly these is an interesting observation to investigate further.
Having to install one mire tool to get ready for production apps installed with helm in one command is not asked too much, though.
Then, slighty unrelated, but it comes to my mind:
i wonder if this happy path thing works with influx, where the author is working.
Can i have a simple single command and install everything i need to look at logs from my app and db server, see most important performance stats and http/ip access logs, geaphical as well as with notifications if certain, easily to be entered ( and in case of cou, io, ram and diskspace reasonable defaults like 80% or so) thresholds are met?
Can i do that with only the free open source tools as the author expects it from the k8s ecosystem? Or do i get it when buying influx‘s professional service?
So maybe it’s the job of, and an opportunity for, commercial companies to develop and sell such simplifying tools. At some place, developers time to develop all these things must be paid for - if millions of developers just use the perfectly polished open source tools - and a high percentage doesn’t even help in development with big reports, not to think of patches, what are the developers going to live from while doing the polishing/ simplifying?
Basically yes, if employers/customers only look for products and not general experience and signs of being a good crafts(wo)man it’s not useful.
On the other hand, someone who already worked with 10 Languages, 7 webframeworks and 5 deployment/config management tools plus showing good craftmanship has enough experience to learn one more of these quickly. Only for a short term gig, the learning/being productive relation could be disproportional.
I‘ve experienced it being habdled rather the latter than the former way and don’t remember not getting a job for having not yet worked with one of these tools, but bei g chosen for experience and quality work.
Yes, and meanwhile they illegally sniff your whole Internet traffic... just one current example https://blog.fefe.de/?ts=a5f2e96c
It’s probably also possible to identify people based on the combination of their car color, built timestamp, model and specifically ordered extras. Shall storing these, without a name, be made illegal then and forcing someone to save these in a database to hire a lawyer to ubderstand their legal position? Just because if the name is added to such a database of cars produced, it will be personal identifying?
Put another way:
If the goal is to prevent certain actions by making them illegal and a given boundary can already ensure that, whats the point in widening that boundary even more?
