Look don’t be dogmatic with anything. Read it. Understand everyone has opinions. There are tradeoffs for every engineering decision. EVERY decision.

Learn to weigh them yourself and learn the intricacies of where it doesn’t make sense and where it does

That’s fair

Have you tried ripgrep?

This is fascinating to me. Do you have any links or suggestions for this workflow to learn more?

I haven’t tried hard drugs but nothing else even comes close

Florida here. I don’t say Coke for all soda just for a dark cola. But Coke is just the first brand I think of/want when it comes to Soda. Like the most ubiquitous.

If I want a Root Beer I’m gonna ask for that. But I’d never fucking say Pop.

I’d say Soda for the general.

Agreed but can’t the same be said about pre-compiled binaries?

At least with a Dockerfile I can download the repo and make them image for myself.

Sure you could’ve downloaded the repo and compiled the binary for yourself but you still had to have all of the libraries setup correctly. It’s more about a codified build process that’s reproducible vs a “supposedly” working documentation on a git repo of make scripts.

Not at all true. Go inspect the Dockerfile. If done correctly you should be able to inspect the full container build.

Less relevant with Docker or FlatPaks though right?

I don’t understand the ambiguity of where to put your projects.

I’ve typically always put things under /opt/ TIL /etc/opt was where the config should go.

You say that however we might have stumbled on the groundwork for a GI. Because language is core to our evolutionary advancement. We needed language to build the mental constructs that then enabled logical work.

Imagine if an LLM was able to coordinate the usage of these “logical” AI’s like Deep mind etc.

ChatGPT already enabled Internet search and it’s better than if I asked someone to Google something for me.

I think the defenders of human intellect are heralding our language and thinking to be a much higher standard than for MOST people they are.

A chess champion might be executing critical thinking beyond normal comprehension but I’d say a lot of my interactions with others, my daily experience is just pattern matching the next thing to say or ask.

This is wickedly cool and I was wanting something like this last night. Crazy that I stumble on it the morning after.

That’s fair but I think one of the most critical features of Calibre for me is interfacing with my e-reader over USB to download/upload my epubs. I don’t know how that would work from a Browser app.

Can you give a specific reason?

I feel that I’m usually more upset that apps choose electron and I have performance issue because they didn’t spend time writing a proper lightweight desktop application. I feel like Calibre is actually one of those apps.

I could see portability across devices being useful but is the Calibre interface really going to be conducive for that?

Okay right but why would “cloud native” as the community’s marketing for it be considered a red flag. Someone who doesn’t know better would think oh “cloud native” Kubernetes is evil. When really the moniker mostly means it was designed to be highly scalable, to interface with public cloud API’s, among many other decisions that differentiate traditional enterprise I.T. software (which like Cisco products) could have its own fair share of “evilness” to be avoided.

My point was that O.P. should clarify why that’s such an immediate red flag for them.

To future readers I consistently use “cloud native” software on my bare metal computers at home. It’s mostly a marketing term to reflect “modern ness” in software features to be run on a public cloud.

In my experience cloud native doesn’t mean it’s on Google, or Microsoft’s privacy stealing software because they’re marketing to you that you can host it yourself on the public cloud.

Why?

The CNCF has a number of awesome projects that live up to FOSS values.

Damn I never saw that one. 😂 thanks for the laugh

No! Maybe I should work on this because it was fairly simple for me to do after some research.
