It's amazing that, even with a long history of high quality releases and an incredible dedication to QA, some pedantic hipster can come along and, without flinching, issue a behold-while-I-educate-thee piece on what SQLite is "doing wrong".
The kind of experienced required to develop something like SQLite and then test it to this degree can probably be counted in decades.
Who the f*ck are you? Some JavaScript developer on the ugly end of the Dunning-Kruger effect?
"Devops" can also be considered a buzzword, misused so frequently by marketers and executives, that it has become a useless term for anything besides techobabble.
I cannot abide this "X philosophy vs Y philosophy" nonsense. It's just imprecise, meaningless, appeal-to-authority drivel, the likes of which should be expected from used car salesmen, not engineers. Say what you mean, not what some other guy vaguely said 20 years ago.
Oh please, spare us the fake concern. systemd is just an init daemon doing what init daemons should have been doing for a long time. The only reason sysvinit didn't do this is because it was a nasty rats nest of shell scripts with absolutely zero introspection capability.
"Who watches the watchers" is such a silly question. Simple knowledge of the halting problem (and all other problems reducible to it) should inform you of how pointless it is to ask "what if" question like this. What if cosmic rays flip a critical bit in just the right way and cause the dialysis machine to explode? Who's gonna "watch" for that?
Things DO break. Having the init daemon do whatever it can to assist is just good sense.
It's so obvious it hurts. The H in both HTML and HTTP is "hypertext". "ref" is clearly "reference". What kind of downer actually writes such a detailed article about this?!
You should use it for all of what you use Python for. Python is a sinking language, that has taken too much input from a community of bikeshedders, to the point it can barely move. LuaJIT makes PyPy look like a high school technology project.
Simplicity is another thing I value immensely, which this branded-software nightmare is completely at odds with. A TV should be a dumb display, with connectivity for anything people may want to add. Nothing more. I don't want to pay for trash I'll never use and I certainly don't want to be stuck with it or spied on by it. Nor do I want a frankenstein-remote with 300 buttons when 12 will do.
No, that's not what happens at all. Are you living under a rock? Every CEO and his brother wants to talk about "value-adds" via custom software and branded interfaces.
No one would argue that signal processing and the stuff traditionally known as "firmware" has a valid purpose. It's the stuff that arises when an executive get a boner for a "product vision" that people don't want or need. It's the kind of trash that looks alluring on a list of bullet points, but gets turned over every 24 months because it's utterly void of any substance, and only got produced at the whims of some empty suit trying to prove his worth.
This woman is another Amy Hoy. A whole bunch of delusional talk about money, but very little evidence or indication that it's anything besides a "look at me, I deserve your attention" ploy. People who are humoring her in the comments here are naive beyond any hope.
