Docker seems to be reasonably popular, but its little more than a halfway house between BSD jails and a VM. And it still needs an OS to run in it and for it to run on.
They're fine on 4 hours sleep until a few years down the line they're suddenly not and they burn out mentally and often physically too. Ultimately you cant fight biology.
The 2010s called, they want their dev enviroment back.
Or they could just go out and get a regular job like everyone else.
The one pure EV that Toyota makes was co-developed with Subaru and is in fact a terrible EV by current standards. It would have been a mediocre EV 10 years ago.
Perhaps "disappointing" is more appropriate? For a company that has decades of electric drivetrain experience is is perplexing that Toyota could produce something so subpar. They rode their battery patent exclusivity for so long they forgot how to be competitive in an evolving market.

Technically Titan is a moon , not a planet.
Not that it makes the slightest different to how amazing this mission will be if it happens.
When it seems like every other dev these days is into "Appzz" or some web stack crap its nice to know some people doing real hardcore coding on a system thats made a real difference.
These are the kind of times when that phrase actually means something rather than being a feelgood title for some script kiddies who can barely write a hello world program without help.
> Please explain how it raises money with a tax rate that's below the existing corporate tax rate
15% minimum. You're a fool if you think a large corporation pays anywhere near the corporate tax rate. 15% is much more money than these businesses are paying now.
Some of them are so good at the game that they effectively "pay" a negative income tax. To pull the first example from that link; AT&T earned $29.6 and the Feds effectively paid them another $1.2B - effectively a -4% income tax. Under the IRA their tax bill goes from getting paid $1.2B to paying $4.4B

All I see there is a reason to regulate crypto bullshit, if not ban it entirely. Can't afford to be wasting that much energy on fraud.
In any case; No, "it" can't happen... assuming by "it" you mean a return to coal as the dominant power source in the US. That ship has sailed.

"Devuan works nicely. That there is a whole distro now with the single selling point of "no systemd""
I use Slackware and its never used systemd and hopefully never will. If it didn't exist Devuan would definately be my next distro choice.
"It's a collaborative effort. That is open source. We are all here to work together."
Newsflash: Not everyone is a developer, some people are just users. Are they not allowed to use OSS then?
"Then yeah, go fuck yourself."
Oh grow up FFS.
"Buddy I make my bread maintaining COBOL and RPGLE on AS/400 systems and C++/Java/COBOL on IBM z systems."
Demonstrating nicely the old adage that some people grow old and wise, some just grow old. Guess which one applies to you.
You think it can't happen?
... but thats undergoing a slow and sad fucking up process thanks to Poetterings (now an MS employee, not even ironic) systemd. Also the fragmentation doesn't help - it would be good to have a standard base layout, system setup and standard apps (beyond the default *nix cmd line tools) that all distros use, eg package manager, and they just build whatever eye candy they want on top of that but of course many large egos would prevent that ever happening.
