I refuse to adopt any Linux filesystem without proof of life evidence from the founder's wife.

I also hate rust, so this is putting all the bad things in one basket. Next step: drop basket.

100% agree.

Most things expand when they rust. :-)

My Calculus professor didn't assign any homework. On the first day of class, he simply handed out a double-sided sheet of paper packed with lists of problems from the textbook, which had the all the answers in the back, and said, "If you don't do every problem listed you probably won't pass the exams and class." I did every problem and the practice helped.

Who's going to be able to scrounge up an extra 12KB of RAM in today's market?

Almost like having different kinds of people, with different backgrounds and experiences is helpful. Too bad that's unpopular at the moment. /s

More people do office work than ever before.

This story is so old it was the reason for Unix. Once the platform controls the essential business process, it owns the business. You work for them now, and all your aspirations are moot.

I agree, but they have a card to play when it comes to scale and sequencing. They can take a huge batch of cells, revert them, and let them multiply. From there, they can just sequence the daughter cells and cherry-pick the lineage that has the fewest mutations in dangerous oncogenic areas.

It's not perfect and it's expensive, but it might be better than what some patient is dying from.

We just migrated to a hosted server for our main point of sale/inventory system. Not because we wanted to, but because there was literally no other choice. The in-house server was end of life, and the vendor just refused to sell us a new one. There's nothing - we have looked - that can replace it, open source or otherwise, without extensive customization that would take several years and require a full time staff of programmers, plus the active cooperation of the national franchise that would not be forthcoming, at a cost of millions.

And it's not an upgrade. We've had more offline time in the last two weeks that we did in the last year with the in-house server, and there are some very important functions that are, at best, unstable and almost unusably slower. They can't even get the login screen to work right.

And it costs us about 50% more than the platinum support contract we had before.

That's not an upgrade, it's a clusterfuck.

If there were an open source point of sale/inventory package available that was capable of replacing our current proprietary system, we'd be on it in a second. Until there is, and there never will be, we're stuck.

And pretty sure "Elite" means something different after the DOGE purge ...

Never been to Kabukicho, Japan?

And Google possibly didn't care and thought if anyone complained it would be better for them to then ask for forgiveness than first ask and wait for permission, that they might not get. I hope they're fined *and* made to replace all the trees.
