  • 20 years on giant enterprise codebases. And any enterprise worth their salt at this point will be scanning these servers and flagging eosl software.

    My experience the last five years of the 20 - security and service life trumps all fucking complaints about complexity.

    To the point where it’s the opposite and I’m fielding weekly questions about why we’re still running an older 3.7.9 version. Among 50 other things.






  • Docker containers in programming are reusable environments. Basically instead of manually setting up an operating system environment from scratch - you give your program this extra layer where you specify each and every thing that will be on the environment.

    If your program was always tested on windows 10 instead of windows 9 - you basically have a way to guarantee it always has windows 10. If your program always used x version of Linux a boom, guaranteed. It adds some complexity but reduces and removes randomness from the concept of deploying applications you’ve created.






  • This seems to be the standard that all store fronts use. With maybe an exception on epic who purposefully went lower than the industry norm to try and excite game publishers to their storefront.

    Just from some cursory googling - google and Apple are right in line. 30% with some drops into the 15% mark after time has passed in case of subscription payments.

    Edit: have not been following this story but it seems like kind of an uphill battle. We know what the argument will be - it’s x percent but you’re using our product and infrastructure and we have to invest people and resources to verifying apps getting published.

    Feels like the law suits that involve “allowing multiple app stores” had a higher chance of succeeding (though I have no idea the status of those lawsuits so maybe that’s already off the table)


  • It’s an exceptionally rare thing — in life or in business — that you get a second chance to make another big impression," the chief tweeted. “Twitter made one massive impression and changed the way we communicate. Now, X will go further, transforming the global town square.”

    Yes yes. Indeed. I love referring to a company by a single letter. Think about all of the great SEO will come from this! Think about the great way this will unite us all!
