Process and Performance: How America traded systematic improvement for quick wins—and lost both
  • ??? This article had nothing to do with "moderates failing at government"

    It was an analysis of government management methods independent of political ideology. It showed that training low level managers improves performance more than sweeping changes which have a temporary boost at the cost of long term failure.

  • Is it time to ring the alarm on internet door cameras?
  • mqtt

    Doesn't mqtt need a broker? (A server?) For me, putting mosquito in a docker or a pi isn't a problem but that's not plug and play for a regular person. Because once you introduce a server like that, it needs security patches and becomes a point of failure out of control of the iot vendor. I know I wouldn't want to take the tech support call when the iot device doesn't work and have to walk them through debugging a pi.

  • I do my own onvif cameras but I gifted a ring doorbell to my niece for her apartment. She's non technical, I can't support her remotely, and that safety was more important than the loss of privacy of a camera looking out onto a public street.

  • Is it time to ring the alarm on internet door cameras?
  • As someone who self hosts I understand the economies of scale that would allow it to be much cheaper to make products tied to cloud service. For example my servers for my house could easily support my entire extended family and more.

    But of course, that profit isn't enough, and they all double dip into selling their customers' privacy.

  • I know Phones dont listen but....
  • My Google News has my Lemmy comments in it so I know the Pixel keyboard is leaking. Like I'll reply to someone about a bench top power supply and there will be ads for them in my Google News.

  • Microsoft gives up on users experiencing problems updating their Windows 11 machines. Now recommends a "manual correction"
  • I said Windows should be rewritten from scratch because it has a poor foundation.

    Having never written Windows kernel code, you are in no position to judge the foundation.

    I tell you that I've been a developer for decades

    No, you said you have been writing code longer before I was born.

    I have been writing code since before you were born. Does that make my opinion more valid?

    You misrepresented something your own source said,

    The source I lonked clearly explains in detail why code is misread. You handwaved it away with the premise that code might not be misread. With that attitude, memory safety isn't needed either. Write perfect code and you don't need to use structured programs. "Don't do what everyone does because it is extremely hard." isn't a valid argument.

    This is exactly what you wrote;

    " It would be insane to claim that all of Linux (I'm also referring to all the gnu tools, window managers etc) should be thrown out and start fresh. "

    I added that in the second sentence because I realized you have never used Linux without it being part of a distro. The first Linux I ran was compiled without being part of any distro. It was for a PRI Gateway when I was working for Vint Cerf on his side project.

  • Microsoft gives up on users experiencing problems updating their Windows 11 machines. Now recommends a "manual correction"
  • There was absolutely no reason to bring up that you were coding longer than I was alive other than to imply that your age is a reason why the argument is invalid.

    Funny how you use your age as an argument but see it as entitled when I point out the reverse.

    Calling your operating system “Linux”--when Linux is just the kernel and not the OS--doesn't really help your argument here.

    I specifically referenced Gnu tools, window managers, etc. What is wrong with you?

  • Microsoft gives up on users experiencing problems updating their Windows 11 machines. Now recommends a "manual correction"
  • My age isn't important to the argument. That's not an opinion.

    I noticed now that I posted my age you didn't respond with yours.

    Go get your reading glasses

    You can't get past personal attacks. First it was I'm too young. When that attack didn't work, it's now I'm too old.

    Unless you work at Microsoft on the code, you have absolutely no basis for your claim that the entire code base should be thrown out. I use Linux. There are frequent bugs that require me to type in a command manually to work around. It would be insane to claim that all of Linux (I'm also referring to all the gnu tools, window managers etc) should be thrown out and start fresh.

  • Microsoft gives up on users experiencing problems updating their Windows 11 machines. Now recommends a "manual correction"
  • I'm approaching 60.

    How old are you? I'm guessing you are like 40. You don't even know who Joel is.

    It's bad form to attack me personally instead of the argument.

    Joel addressed your argument that the code is misread throughout the entire essay. Code is easier to write than read.

  • Definitive answer for silk touch?

    I'm new to Minecraft and did a lot of googling but everyone has a different answer for silk touch.

    Does anyone have a definite way to get it with an enchantment table?

    Some say you need to be level 17 and have 9 bookshelves before it will show up (random). Others say you need to be between level 20 and 30. One says 30. Another says you can just keep trying over and over using a grindstone to remove the wrong enchantment before trying again.

    Deleted posts should create an auto reply to the creator.

    I replied to a post in a thread (about how my 15 year old burned DVDs were going bad and what I was doing to remedy it). The thread is still there but my post is gone. It wasn't an argument. It was a reply to someone asking for data backup options.

    Some auto generated explanation from Lemmy would be nice like : post deleted by owner. Or posted deleted by moderator.
