My company has two full time staff members running point on customer service. Directing people to the 5 bullet point FAQ page is about 85% of their job.

I dabbled with setting up an AI classifier to do this for them, and while it would remove 99% of those FAQ emails, the remaining 1% of the time it was so catastrophically wrong it made us press pause on the whole thing.

You can just point your domain at your local IP, e.g. 192.168.0.100

Or simply “i need to change the address of my delivery”

Literally every library with any traction in any field is MIT licensed.

If the scientific python stack was GPL, then industry would have just kept paying for Matlab licenses

For every 1 person who knows how to use the windows command line, there are 50 people struggling because they didn’t embed their video into their PowerPoint, or worse, their USB stick only contains a shortcut to their actual .ppt file

Maybe a riff on lutris? Not sure why though

The feature is explicit sync, which is a brand new graphics stack API that would fix some issues with nvidia rendering under Wayland.

It’s not a big deal, canonical basically said ‘this isn’t a bug fix or security patch, it’s not getting backported into our LTS release’ - so if you want it you have to install GNOME/mutter from source, switch operating systems, or just wait a few months for the next Ubuntu release

GNOME said this update is a minor bug fix (point release)

Canonical said this is actually a major feature update, and doesn’t want to backport it into its LTS repositories

Not with 64gb ram and 16+ cores on that budget

English is not my native language, and I don’t understand what “Have taken up farming.”

It means they aren’t developing software anymore because they are growing vegetables instead

You could set it up in docker whilst still on windows, and then all you need to do is copy/paste your compose file onto your new Linux machine, that way you aren’t struggling to learn two things at the same time (alleviates the “I don’t know if the problem is with my docker config or my host OS”)

“how dare they use the right tool for the job without taking the time to learn how to do it sub optimally first”

You have to pay for visual studio too if it is for business use (the license is also SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive than rider)

My coworker uses VS and it seems like the IDE is doing nothing - every time I open one of his projects in rider 85% of the code is highlighted with suggested optimizations and refactors that VS thinks is fine

In my experience about ~8% better but 4x slower to transcode

I don’t think software developers working in AI are “exploited labour just doing it to survive”

To be fair, your arguments basically boil down to “show me equivalent Linux support for Microsoft products”

You could make all the same arguments and conclude Macs are less suitable for doing work than windows, yet there are tons of professionals using MacBooks who get by just fine. If you don’t need to be fully ingrained in the Microsoft ecosystem you don’t NEED to be on windows.

There is nothing this thing can do that a dedicated hobbyist couldn’t replicate with parts bought off the shelf at a RadioShack, so where does the line get drawn

I feel like 99% of its usage was to avoid ads/paywalls/geo/account restrictions on news and social media sites

scientific research papers

When JSTOR comes knocking you are going to wish it was the MPAA instead

This is disingenuous on OPs part.

All LTS releases get 5 years of updates. Ubuntu pro (which is free for non-commercial users FYI) extends the LTS support window to 10 years, which is 5 years more than any other Linux distribution I know of
