No practical reasons. Just cool looks.
We will never know the whole truth as that specific culture typically bend the facts and there are little to no proofs of the claims. During soviet era the narrative was that Russian scientists (soviet elites always preferred Russia over other republics) are behind most of human scientific advantages and others simply steal from them.

I find MacOS terrible (any version) and wish my employer would not force Mac upon me. I hope one day we will be able to use Linux on Mac hardware (in enterprise setting).

Seems like they conveniently omitted some facts here. Very fishy.
Re:Coral Dev Board Micro on Friday January 12, 2024 @08:49AM (#38967879)
Something like it but with (large) in-memory computation would be a welcome addition. Ability to run LLMs on edge platforms needs to be addressed. The question is: will it take 1 or 10 years. Sadly the coral was already outdated when released.

Re:Croatia could be Europe's hidden tech haven in 2024 on Sunday December 10, 2023 @09:48AM (#38591837)
It is a nice country but unlikely due to the small tech scene and lack of venture funding.

DevOps = reducing black boxes at the cost of Dev team load

Platform engineering = building black boxes (abstractions) to reduce Dev team mental load at the expense of nobody understanding how to fix issues

I love QR menus, I live in Asia though.
Re:Convincing ChatGPT to Eradicate Humanity with Python Code on Sunday December 04, 2022 @02:01AM (#33851330)
I can definitely write better code with copilot due to faster iterations and much better code coverage. I believe we are a paper away before this can start improve of existing code itcluding the code of itself.

Re:The Restaurant Industry’s Worst Idea: QR Code Menus on Sunday October 30, 2022 @03:57AM (#33392213)
I love QR menus. I live in Singapore though were things are well designed and efficient. Pretty much all menus are web applications, some restaurants allow to pay directly from the menu web page.
Too little too late. Apple silicon remains king of value. M1 Linux advances. I guess it's time to go Apple...

Re:Literate DevOps (2014) on Monday September 26, 2022 @04:03AM (#32980608)
DevOps used to be elite. Few years of deveoper experience + cloud/containers knowledge to make all things run smoothly.

Nowadays DevOps is also fresh graduate who compiles embedded code for internet-disconnected 16 bit system.

I wish industry would standarise roles and responsibilities for the sake of job seekers and employers alike.

Re:GTA VI Leak [video] on Sunday September 18, 2022 @09:48AM (#32887525)
Games that utilize techniques available on the latest generations of hardware. For example ray-tracing. Ratchet & clank, Returnal, Astro's Playroom. On PC decent example is HL Alyx.

There is a huge expectation towards GTA since Rockstar has a history of being one of the best. The RDR2 was stunning on the previous gen.

Re:GTA VI Leak [video] on Sunday September 18, 2022 @06:41AM (#32886324)
I agree that it does not look next-gen at all but let's comment when they actually release the game. From what we know this can be ancient build.

Obviously not

RedHat benefit is support. You can sue them if something goes wrong ;) Good engineering is using on local what is used on servers. RHEL definitely is about servers foremost. There are many industries where RHEL is a must. Amazon Linux is derivative of RHEL. Good point about containers.
