It’s a really bold claim. Every time a new package manager and/or dependency resolver comes around, we have the exact same headline
The entire Gitkraken suite used to be free before 2016. The free tier you get now is a severely crippled version of what it used to be.
Not everything is a conspiracy, just so you understand
I miss when Gitkraken used to be free. They nickel and dimed every feature they possibly could have
This really isn’t a good comparison at all. One gives you a list of choices you can make, and the other gives you a blind answer.
If seeing what argument types the function takes make me a worse engineer, so be it, I guess
Anything that allows people to blindly and effortlessly get results inherently makes them more stupid. Your brain is like any muscle. You need to repeatedly use it for it to work well
Their general point of view is definitely not wrong.
When it comes to music, I’ve had a good time using Reaper for casual guitar recording, however a bunch of my plugins struggle horrible with Yabridge. A lot of this stuff has online per-system drm these days, namely anything from NeuralDSP, so that often puts it to a halt
It really just depends on what you do, and how you do it.
A formula-1 car is not for normies, but a regular car is. Same principle applies here. My tech illiterate mom has Fedora on her laptop, and she finds it considerably more intuitive to use, than her previous Windows installations
I suspect that in the worst case scenario, i’ll be moving stuff to Codeberg and hosting my own CI to support it
I’ve had my stuff on Gitlab way before that ever even happened, just because I’ve already had issues with the platform before, and knew it would eventually change hands. Shame it’ll likely happen again with this too
I’ve been casually taking a look at it for a bit, so it’s definitely on the radar
Edit: Overall i’m happy, at first proper glance, but not having access to even barebones CI is kind of a pain. I can’t really deploy my own at the moment, and having to request access to their own Woodpecker instance is something that seems unlikely to be approved
I keep basically all of my shit on Gitlab, so depending on who they sell it to, that might be a goodbye. I’ve really enjoyed the platform, but if it goes into hands of either some clueless business people, data aggregator, or “AI-first” bullshit, i’m migrating to something else.
When I graduated from university in 2020, my classmates still zipped the entire project and dated it with “final”, “final(2)”, and “final-forrealnow”. This is extra sad, because they did this in a class, where we were taught version control. Out of the 50-something people in my lab for that class, maybe like 3 people outside of me didn’t express hatred for it
I’ve had a short period, where i had to use it during uni, and it was honestly a pretty solid experience. Unfortunately i can’t say that about MATLAB, as that was a nightmare in every way imaginable
How do you deal with lack of plugin support?
We’re in the same boat. Hope it all works out for you. You got this
Having clear and healthy boundaries is incredibly important here. Otherwise you’re doing multiples of extra work for the same money. If they want more from you, they should also expect to pay more for you
The moment i’m told that i’m responsible for the success of the company as a whole, i’m asking to be promoted to CEO. I’m doing my job, as hired for. No more, no less
I had a really sad eye-opener at university, in my third year. We had a lecture where they tried to explain what version control is, and the entire 300-something person class just said fuck it. These people honestly think that copying code to USB sticks and gDrive is easier than learning 4 commands, and a git frontend
Not entirely unexpected. If you don’t know what you’re doing, a GUI will only accelerate the path between you and the wrong result, because these tend to abstract things too much at times
I do enjoy ruff a lot, but only time will tell
