Since LibreOffice 4.5ish I have preferred both writer and calc. Feels more robust and consistent + a lot snappier (incl. starttime). I only use it for collaborative editing of docx and xlsx.

I disagree wrt office 365 (except for the collaborative editing in the browser feature). I dont recognize the price either - more like 22£ (unless its exchange only). Cost accumulates at scale.

I thought that was the definition of a manager?

Thats a nice way of putting cronyism, lobbyism and tech-iliteratism.

If you adjust only for inflation then its about 82% cumulative 1992-2018.

I know Norway - was just curious. Your explanation matched my expectations. As most places: Once you hit the ceiling the only way forward is sales.

Maybe some are. There is however nothing nothing elegant about running 5 massive electron, node etc apps in your browser w. 60% code overlap grinding everything to a halt. Its not so much the language but how its being used.

I agree. Maybe its the barrier to entry for publishing that has gotten a lot lower and thus pushing down the quality of public code (which is natural). Or maybe im just worried about everything being pushed to the browser.

I disagree completely - javascript encourages shitty programming by design and by culture. If you don’t expose the young chances are they won’t get infected.

If you have never been exposed to programming before chances are you will struggle no matter the name of the school. The name will, most likely, help you get a better job but don’t worry about the skill level attained (unless you went to so

True :) I know the strip. tbh I just felt like trolling the insecure “data hackers” crowd. Looking at downvotes: I think it worked.

No such thing as “Data science” - just a fancy term for trade school computer skills. Thats why.

Unfortunately most people will never encounter such a manager.

Linux will run on almost everything these days. Of course they care: Linux desktops are finally starting to run out of the box. Kill the baby before it grows up.

Yes - very unreasonable. Im sure its an enormeous expense. Better keep those devices 10 security updates behind to make sure the bloatware still works. I mean - they already paid right: why bother updating.

Your an econ freshman arent you?

Oh THATS why android gets so few updates.. (pardon the sarcasm). Its all because of those damn linux renegates - ruining software for the rest of us. Somebody ought to stop the linux bullies preventing those poor corporations from updating

All right - thanks for the elaboration. The perfomance diff sounds interesting. I might check it out at some point :)

Im curious to what tasks you felt you could not solve in bash incl. the nix toolchain?

Don’t feed the trolls please.

Agreed! tkinter is blazing fast and frankly I don’t give a damn about the looks if it means I can solve problems faster and with less errors (ex when I keep a lot of data in my wetware memory).

I am convinced this is a “plot” to kill the linux desktop / keep people on windows. Its better, free and you control it - why would they not want to kill it.

And last but not least: timely security upgrades (many years into the future)

I disagree. MS has recently pushed the “linux on top op windows” solution. Making windows programs run on linux has attracted plenty of ressources (commercial and unpaid): open framework clones, wine, steam play vm’s. The same can be said f
