I like that so many unix command tools (like cat, ls...) is rarely updated. Often comes with a man page written in 30 years ago. Same with a lot of C libraries.
I also believe it is a trend not to go over the head of consumers. Can be seen in older documentaries and political discussion. Perhaps this is just a result of everyone already feeling like a expert and should not be insulted by complex language etc.
There should be a exception in every code standard that says SI units are OK where otherwise all lower case is enforced. Example to use mega (M) vs milli (m).
Ableton live (music application) - the only reason I still have mac. I tried to switch to Bitwig that is similar and runs on linux, but I have not had the time to develop a workflow with it.
I think we already have a culture that exaggerates this aspect. Tried-but-failed stories do not sell very well. Not everyone can be successful and pretending this is case makes people that feeling left out blame them self (or maybe immigrants). I am not advocating a "entirely random" view, just a more nuanced and perhaps more realistic one. Also, I do not think humans will ever stop struggling to achieve things in life, even if we had a society where success where attributed to pure luck.
(Perhaps we should define "success" in this conversation)
> If every time someone shares their success, the response is instantly about how privileged or lucky they are, then our culture is sick. We should listen to and support those stories.
I would argue that a culture which attributes success in life to personal effort or choices is sick. This makes people blame themselves for not trying hard enough etc, when in reality there are more decisive factors such as who your parents are (or luck).
I've seen some research on "relative income happiness" that suggest having poor(er) people nearby should increase happiness. Perhaps it doesn't apply if the income cap is to large...
could also be a niche market product created a decade ago that some other large company depends on. money keeps rolling in with little effort. source: personal experience. the company is no longer in operation but it lasted for a god 30 years.
Sometime ago I stumpled upon a github repo that interested me. Due to several reasons I suspect the maintainer might be dead. I tried to verify it somehow but no luck. Might be easier if you are a Greek citizen. Suggestion? Of-course a persons death is tragic, but it is also a shame no one will start maintaining a fork while the original repo is in limbo...
Agree no one is going to downgrade but there is another strategy - always build your app against package versions that is in Debian stable. Of-course it can be problematic but have some advantages: well tested, any bugs probably have documented workaround.
I believe you can get a lot of information from accelerometer data. Especially when compared with other data for the same road. Is it even used in this way?
This feature have the potential to remove some christmas trees (nested if statements) in MISRA C compatible code. Publishers should have waited to January! :)
