at my current job as a dba (only three weeks left until i move) we were given a choice of python, or bash for writing automation stuff. The bash tools still work albeit they are a bitch to get correct. The python ones are brittle as fuck and totally unmaintainable by now. And it's mostly due to packaging
there was a penn and teller bullshit episode on this once. No they can't tell the difference. They served everyone tapwater from the same hose, but in fancy bottles, and now everyone started to have preferences.
there is already a federal law about it. Minimum is already minimum for everyone. Tipped positions simply let the employer save some of that money. If you didn't tip, the employer must pay the full wage.
who the fuck does he think he is to "negotiate" ceding someone else's territory? (I'm not expecting any answers, the oompa loompa simply defies all logic)
and the seed lottery. You can see this if you try training a simple network with two inputs to learn xor. It can converge in multiple ways, and sometimes it converges to a really bad approximation. And sometimes it doesn't converge at all (or it converges so slowly that it might as well be considered not to converge). And even then it might still converge to an approximation that's more accurate on one side of the input space than the other. Tons of ways to get an undesirable result. For a simple 2-input network.
Imagine how unlikely it is for txese models to actually converge to the optimal thing. And how often the training is for nothing.
the windows just works argument actually refers to the fact that it's consistent.
If you have a problem with the desktop, nobody needs to ask you which de you use, or which parts you have substituted out. You have a graphics problem, nobody asks if wayland or x11. You have a problem with audio, nobody asks you whether you have pipewire-pulse installed and to use pipewire. Shit's the same everywhere.
I say this as an arch linux user. The choice we all love, is actually a detriment to the average non-power user.
I will never go back to ubuntu, begrudgingly or not
