Plus, in the finish line, the attendance is acting like if riding the car and running made no difference. By the time you get there, sweating and exhausted, the organization is already packing and the few remaining in the crowd look at you with puzzling face.

Donated. Never used Blender and most likely never will, but to see such professional software going on and facing the big corporations gives me faith.

At my daily job, our production servers are Linuxes, and we deploy our .NET code (fairly complex web app) just fine, using the same techniques you would with other technologies like CLI GitLab CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes... Forget about GUI if you're not into it.

The web framework craze is settling down. Microsoft seems to have consolidated into two web frameworks: Blazor (improved/extended Razor Pages) and ASP.NET for MVC, and APIs. I personaly don't expect another U-turn for the coming years.

Blazor is really nice, and ready for production. The only downside I see is that Visual Studio (vanilla) struggles compared to another MSFT technologies. You don't need Visual Studio, though.

I don't think any of those are better than WinForms.

After all these years, I still use WinForms for prototyping, nothing faster comes to mind. If I need a mockup to show to my manager in 15 minutes, nothing beats WinForms.

Or whoever wear glasses and looks "intellectual", or whoever has a business and so is burgeouis. It always ends the same.

First is the megarich, then is the wealthy, and then its the baker and then it´s you... barely doing better than them.

Exactly this. Imagine the slowest consultant firms, with the most powerpointists, huge hourly rates for very simple projects that pay peanuts for the not so bright devs...

These are the companies with the connections that are getting the money.

I don't know about the movie, but in his own book it's quite clear he's a moron that sees anyone in the enemy lines as less than human and feels nothing after killing.

And, in many instances back home, he also see many fellow americans as worthless.

The team working on their Realsense depth cameras was doing great work on the SDK, in my opinion.

Frequent releases, GitHub repo with good enough user interaction, examples, bug fixing and feedback.

If you do it rightly (softly, no brisk movements) in Spain, the other driver knows this is the way. No honking and no yelling

In Europe (or at least in Spain) a very common ocurrence while driving is getting to a crossroad of slow traffic where you have to yield.

But traffic is heavy and you have no room to, for example, turn right.

So it's common practice to advance, little by little, until you're basically an obstacle and some other driver has no alternative than letting you in.

Otherwise, you'll spend much time waiting. To make thigns worse, the drivers behind you won't take this unending wait lightly either, so they'd get nervous and try to overtake you and all things get messsy.

How do these systems face this situation?

What do europeans have to show for the money spent in the "Next Generation" plans?

Allocating the money and printing feel good stories on regulations is the EASY part.

Now, delivering on the cut-throat tech competition on a reasonable time frame seems not part of the european ethos.

How about the consequences of US proxy wars? Not a word about the reasons mediterranean european countries keep getting floods of displaced refugees.

Maybe if the US stopped bombing their countries, we'd stop getting so many.

With Nord Stream, the elites tried to gaslight their population using the media into believeng an stupid made-up story about how Russia blowed up their own pipe.

Very convenient for the US, not so for the EU

It's about the execution. The plan is just the first step.

Basically, China is centralized politically and decentraliced economically. The soviet centralized everything... even meat prices, a recipe for disaster.

They plan the outcome, but let the governing to the different provinces and the implementation to the (mostly) private sector. These actors are forced to compete, among other things, via export discipline that cannot be faked.

And somehow, despite facing the same corruption and cronyism problems we do in the west, they seem to get better results.

Someday, an LLM will send every human an 'obvious' pattern (maybe a weird protein or something like that) and we'll all fail to notice and that day Skynet decides it no longer has a use for us
