When the Ada directive came about I took college courses in Ada and thought I'd easily find and qualify for jobs in the DoD contractor space. Boy, was I wrong.

I ended up getting jobs using that weird Pascal/Algol-like JOVIAL language instead, much to my disappointment. It ran on ancient MIL-STD-1750A processors, but, to their credit, they were 16-bit. Ada ran on those processors, too, but I was either too early or too unlucky to use it.

I did get to use Ada professionally on the IBM RS/6000 AIX platform for a little while, though.

FYI, "Ada" is not an acronym.

Also, major railway companies across the world still use Ada, not just the US DoD.

I know it's an unpopular opinion here, but Oracle Linux is fully compatible with RHEL and all the other RHEL derivatives.

Oracle even builds their software on Oracle Linux and the software runs fully unchanged on RHEL and its derivatives.

I just completed a huge campaign to convert CentOS machines to Ubuntu.

That ship as sailed.

Unshackling from the refueled spacecraft won't happen. In all of the proposed scenarios (until this article), the refueling spacecraft drills a hole or finds a port to transfer fuel. The refueling spacecraft stays attached to the refueled spacecraft permanently.

How does this affect customers who use SiriusXM for Business?

Regular, private SiriusXM customers have to pay around $15-$25 per year for music licensing fees.

It works for Xwayland, not native Wayland.

This anecdote is kind of why I don't do software engineering anymore and moved to systems engineering. I'm much happier and productive now.

Children behave!!

Just because someone mouths off at you doesn't automatically mean that their technology is worthless.

Why not postpaid? I used prepaid for years just for fun trying out new phones but the text messaging fees were too much to keep doing it for serious things in life.

True, true.

It's sad that the Wayland team is neglecting remote desktop support and has been neglecting it for 17 years.

Remote desktop is a fundamental core feature. Why doesn't it support it? As I said earlier, Xwayland is *NOT* what I'm talking about.

Hahah, no, Xwayland is not Wayland.

I'm talking VNC and RDP and Guacamole.

My point still stands. Wayland *needs* remote desktop support. It doesn't have it now.

Came here to say this, too. Without proper remote desktop support, Wayland is a dead platform.

It's unbelievable that after 17 years there's still nothing viable there.
