Make is fine unless you want to build on Windows. Then you kind of need something else. It is the very slow process creation infrastructure that kills Make as a tool on Windows.

Kind of sad that there seems to be minimal effort to make Python mainline fast. There are so many projects to accelerate Python. Some even work really well. Some as much as 100X faster, and most at least 10X faster.

Interesting. Do kernel and other base system updates even come though Play? I thought a lot of this stuff comes from the original vendor. I have no idea if the malware the article is talking about came through Play or through vendor mechanisms.

Not sure what they mean google certified. They are talking about some random used minor brand phone puchased though a questionble supply chain not a new Google phone purchased from well known vendors. From a security perspective it is well known that many brands do not have great updates. Get a new Google Pixel if you want better updates and get it from a trusted vendor.

They will just pay the fines and do what they want.

Should do nothing other then malware intrusion detection and mitigation and basic security. Better process and resource management might be nice.

One reason I retired early was my job was getting impossible to do because of enterprise bullshit along this line.

Strangly said but really they are just saying focus on the problem not the person.

Not sure why you need to convince anyone. Sure you like to run a team by concensus but that is not always possible. Some times you just have to make the call or run it up the chain to have some VP make the call and get people in line.

So how does one fix? Revert?

Just curious, never used immutable distro but have considered.

There is always a good argument for symplicity and AI is not simple and has uncertain security.

Similar thing with IDEs and editors when coding. I have always prefered an editor except when the IDE does exactly what I want which is often not the case.

Yes. History and adoption matter.

Python as glue is absolutely a use. The big advantage of Python is that it also has a broad range of use and expands what a single developer can do in cases where time and cost of development is more important then code efficiencey and long term support. Basically quick often throwaway apps to get something done.

Edit: Python is a good alternative to say tcl, perl, R, matlab, VB, etc.

You generally do no write Python for speed though generally the apeed is good enough. You write it for minimal effort of coding plus libraries. Why do people use Matlab ҄and R, same.

Python is slow often 1% of the speed of a fully parallelized and vectorized C app compiled specifically for your architecture. There are ways to improve speed like libraries, PyPy, numba, etc of course but often theٌse are application specific and do not always give the performance you might think. I love Python, but for speed it is not the best.

Of course, Python. Just look at the TIOBE language popularity index. The top languages all have some rational for use. Not so popular have less reasons to use or just narrower application range. See https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/ .

I am saying it is our winner take all society that over values a few at the expense of the many. The existance of the prize is a good example in itself.

The idea that credit is so important is an artifact of the system. Sharing is its own reward. Most so called inventions and discoveries are things that others have already done or will do anyway but get no credit for. This is from someone who has published peer reviewed papers and has many patents. I still believe the credit issue is largely bullshit. The exception is that yes you kind of have to play the game to work the system and it is important for that reason.

Knowledge cannot be stollen. That concept is human fabrication. Knowledge is meant to be shared and once share is flow freely.

The Girls school issue. This is simple. The Iran war was in most aspects rushed, unplanned, unwise, and impulsive. This is about leadership.

The problem. You cannot lie to an agent, but you can remain silent. Your also taking an action with a known consequence and an action that is not allowed.

This is not mysterious. You do not have to unlock your phone if it uses a password which is something you know, but you cannot delete your data. This has always been a well known rule.

I know HR policy where I worked was specifically that you had to be working at the next job grade level before being promoted. The downside of that, mangement sometimes abuses this. So you have to be proactive too.

It is also often better to apologize then asking for permission when striving to do the correct thing.
