Stayed up too late watching election returns. Nice seeing some younger people win.

Make is fine unless you want to build on Windows. Then you kind of need something else. It is the very slow process creation infrastructure that kills Make as a tool on Windows.

Kind of sad that there seems to be minimal effort to make Python mainline fast. There are so many projects to accelerate Python. Some even work really well. Some as much as 100X faster, and most at least 10X faster.

Interesting. Do kernel and other base system updates even come though Play? I thought a lot of this stuff comes from the original vendor. I have no idea if the malware the article is talking about came through Play or through vendor mechanisms.

Not sure what they mean google certified. They are talking about some random used minor brand phone puchased though a questionble supply chain not a new Google phone purchased from well known vendors. From a security perspective it is well known that many brands do not have great updates. Get a new Google Pixel if you want better updates and get it from a trusted vendor.

They will just pay the fines and do what they want.

Should do nothing other then malware intrusion detection and mitigation and basic security. Better process and resource management might be nice.

One reason I retired early was my job was getting impossible to do because of enterprise bullshit along this line.

Sounds to me like your both overwhelmed anُd tired. Also sounds like you both need to work on good commnication skills and accepting each other for who they are. Finally slowing down and taking the time for all this. Keep in mind you both may have some habits that do not play well together and try to recognize those and make other choices. If you cannot do it alone then counceling.

My wife and I have been together for 30 years. One pattern we have is that we are similar people and both very capable and independent which is good but we are also not good at asking for help on one hand and on the other we can find ourselves compartmentalizing the other out too in times if stress. This is just an example. We have few others too that we know about.

What keeps us together? We fundamentally care about each other and we enjoy each other’s company when we actually take the time.

Strangly said but really they are just saying focus on the problem not the person.

Not sure why you need to convince anyone. Sure you like to run a team by concensus but that is not always possible. Some times you just have to make the call or run it up the chain to have some VP make the call and get people in line.

Yes. My mom is 97 and her health is such she will probably make 102. Humans have been known to live a bit over 122 though rare.

My mom was born in the 20s and so as long as she is around and others like her it seems premature. So give it at least another decade probably two.

There is always a good argument for symplicity and AI is not simple and has uncertain security.

Similar thing with IDEs and editors when coding. I have always prefered an editor except when the IDE does exactly what I want which is often not the case.

I am not sure why Ubuntu installed on hardware in a media center box is not fine. Just use a wireless keyboard and track ball combo. Stream with any web browser. Very simple. We have done this for 20 years.

GrapheneOS on Pixel Phones. Do not install google play services. Then uٌse Fdroid and the Aurora store apps.

If you need google play, isolate that anُd the apps that need it in a separate area like the private space or a sepatate user.

Yes. History and adoption matter.

Python as glue is absolutely a use. The big advantage of Python is that it also has a broad range of use and expands what a single developer can do in cases where time and cost of development is more important then code efficiencey and long term support. Basically quick often throwaway apps to get something done.

Edit: Python is a good alternative to say tcl, perl, R, matlab, VB, etc.

You generally do no write Python for speed though generally the apeed is good enough. You write it for minimal effort of coding plus libraries. Why do people use Matlab ҄and R, same.

Python is slow often 1% of the speed of a fully parallelized and vectorized C app compiled specifically for your architecture. There are ways to improve speed like libraries, PyPy, numba, etc of course but often theٌse are application specific and do not always give the performance you might think. I love Python, but for speed it is not the best.

Of course, Python. Just look at the TIOBE language popularity index. The top languages all have some rational for use. Not so popular have less reasons to use or just narrower application range. See https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/ .

I am saying it is our winner take all society that over values a few at the expense of the many. The existance of the prize is a good example in itself.
