What you call politics (US political “issues”) and politicking (the act of seeking and organizing power or influence) are different things.

Maybe US political issues have no spot in tech but politics are a part of being human.

Wow, you came to the Jellyfin community to write a long comment saying “I don’t know what this is and I don’t care”?

You don’t have to care!

Not like farmers don’t abuse and exploit the land themselves. It’s just a bit more aesthetic.

Where’s my LN2 backpack it’s time to go portable

Overclocking controls huh

5700 in my server works just fine too, no difficulty setting it up. Running in Docker. Even does HDR tone mapping!

Use screen?

Maybe I don’t understand what you’re after. But 99.9% of Linux systems don’t use X. But none of those are desktop PC’s.

Q1: No, it does not require X. But some software even if not graphical, requires X libs for whatever reason (e.g. Using Qt)

Edit: to answer Q2: I don’t think there is technically a way to interact with the system without a TTY but thats technicalities. Your more practical answer is to use SSH to log in and interact. This is how most IoT things work which run Linux and have no display capability at all.

Sure, I guess I maintain its that’s not what sarcasm is but we do agree on the point

They’re not being sarcastic, they are repeating Google’s (bs) justification

I mean… That’s the joke

Dude, no way. This is not remotely normal!

Rotors can get rusty when you haven’t driven for a while, but it’s just cosmetic. That’s no reason to replace rotors. Even if you end up with a bit of grooving from bits of sand in the pads (especially on the rear discs) it’s no issue.

Something else is wrong, or your mechanic is taking you for a ride.

Not so much well defined as fancy words. There is no example of a paying software development job that has no economic impact if the software were to fail.

If I ran a small shopify page for goat feed, I’d be an engineer for making sure the site stayed working so farmers could order their feed. It could even put lives at risk!

It really only excludes someone privately working on a video game for fun.

So given that, what are they actually regulating? What are they providing to their members to help them become better “software engineers”. I say it’s nothing at all? +

You missed my point that if professional engineering societies in Canada want to take ownership of software and electronics, they better do something and not just say they’re regulating it and sit on it with no clear definition for what it even is.

If they were doing their job, we wouldn’t need to debate what a software engineer is. They’ve let us down and they’re getting away with it.

But architects aren’t engineers either! We have engineers in building construction, they are called engineers.

They ensure all required calculations are done, all safety standards are adhered to, they complete detailed designs, and they sign off on a project legally so things like quotes and timelines have legal teeth.

I disagree, I believe the regulatory agencies do nothing in Canada to legitimize their claim to regulating software development. Heck, they do nothing for electronics or semiconductors or anything smaller than the power grid.

Totally, but I’m not aware of anyone using either properly in a truly production environment. Both are more on the hobbyist or tinkering side, or in the Linux space anyway where you can already just do anything.

(From what I’ve seen? Would be thrilled to see examples!)

I really like Micropython too. I made a “game” that communicates state between multiple boards over wifi in almost no time compared to how long it would take in C++.

Aha on embedded not much choice there. It’s what keeps C alive and relevant for sure

I’m not suggesting replacing the small programs with one mega Python script, I meant that even C is not a good language for that either.

If you’re chaining a bunch of stuff together through your shell environment anyway, you’re not using the low level benefits of C, so you’re just punishing yourself with having to implement everything by hand every time! Python is amazing because the syntax is clear and readable and the standard library has nearly everything you’d need if you’re not building a large application.

However since most of these things are going to be one-liners then yeah you may want to just put them in one script!
