I somewhat agree, but Java grew up in a different era when communication about these things wasn't as easy. It's hard to change the direction of something as large and widely deployed as Java. It's happening but it will take time and its always going to dealing with its legacy as there just so much of it out there.
Azures blob service supports the first one. Its strongly consistent and has a lease/lock API. Ive seen leader election and coordination stuff built on top of it.
Dont worry we will all eventually just be working for the military-industrial complex in some form eventually, directly or indirectly. That’s basically the end state.
It's not a threat. It literally has to be mandatory since the decision will have large impacts on the current employees and the company. Employees need to know what they are voting on. It's not as simple as union good, company bad and you're being disingenuous painting it as such.
The union has access to the employees out of work hours.
Why should the union get compensated time to express their position. If the Union wants to comp Amazon access to their employees and lost productivity then sure maybe, but I don't see that being proposed. It's always Amazon who must "give" something.
> This practice really should be banned, IMO. The employer is taking advantage of the fact that the employee typically needs the job to survive.
I assume Amazon is paying for the time these employees have to spend in the mandatory information sessions? I don't see the problem.
Amazon MUST get the opportunity to present its case even if anti-union is not a popular stance. If the deal offered by Amazon is so bad then what is the harm? We should not be shielding people from information because we don't believe they're smart enough to see through it... that reeks of elitist paternalistic thinking.
And Tesla should be allowed every opportunity to stop them.
I guess Tesla broke the law in this case, but I do not really agree with the ruling and the law. Musk should be allowed to present the possible downsides.
Engineers circling the wagons for one of their own. If this was a CEO, politician, broadcaster, or anyone else with an ounce of notability they would probably be calling for their head.
At a technical level it is always possible somehow but the point people are trying to make is that there should be access controls and protocols in place. The CEO should not have absolute unconstrained access in all matters.
Slack is not strategically interesting. They are already eating the enterprise communication market with Teams. Acquiring Slack would basically be a talent and tech hire nothing more... not worth $8B.
Discord gives them something gamers know and love and could be paired with Xbox. Gives them a huge competitive edge against Sony, especially if they intend to build a cross-play centric platform between Windows and Xbox.
I haven’t tried a VPN yet, but I have heard of some possible quirks due to how the networking is handled between Windows and Linux in HyperV
Edit: Im switching from Fedora to a WSL setup for work in the next week. Ill report on issues I encounter in that migration. I suspect VPN will come up because one of the key reasons im switching off Fedora to Windows+WSL is due to corporate VPN requirements.
Note this only impacts calling the Linux go toolchain from the Windows side (via the /$wsl/ path). Its not an issue inside WSL... but it comes up when you want to say configure Windows IntelliJ/GoLand to use the Go compiler hosted inside of the WSL VM.
> When you say "proper Linux distribution", I assume that's still CLI only? Do you develop with e.g. emacs, vim on WSL, or do you have some IDE with remote running and debugging into WSL? Or have a missed a trick and in fact X/Wayland applications can be run on WSL?
You can run X apps just fine in WSL2 as long as you have a display server running on the Windows side. I use X410. Important to note, Microsoft is working on native Wayland support long term. For what it is worth, I run IntelliJ/GoLand from inside of WSL and use X410 to render the GUI. This works great.
