And how difficult is it to keep it debloated? MS seems to be hellbent on pushing their crap into everyone’s face.

I’m still convinced Electron only exists because there’s a huge surplus of mediocre web devs.
Electron solves hardly any problem that QT, GTK or all those other UI frameworks didn’t already solve 20 years ago. But for QT you need at least a few developers with passing knowledge of something other than js and css. And those guys are expensive.
OR, it is a huge conspiracy by Micron et al to increase demand for memory modules.
Because you don’t know what you’ll need that wrapper beforehand, that’s my entire point.
Unless you’re only doing trivial changes, the chances are very high that you won’t be able to design the class structure. Or, you end up essentially writing the code to be able to write the tests, which kind of defeats the purpose.
If you have to ask “can’t you just” the answer is almost always no.
And who actually writes tests like that?
I mean, do you think tests do the calculations again? You simply have well defined input and known, static output. That’s it.
Tests first is only good in theory.
Unit tests typically test rather fine grained, but coming up with the structure of the grain is 80% of the work. Often enough you end up with code that’s structured differently than initially thought, because it turns out that this one class needs to be wrapped, and this annotation doesn’t play nice with the other one when used on the same class, etc etc.
Especially then I’d test the shit out of everything? I’m getting paid for writing correct software.
For local development, it should be super quick. However, I’m currently building a small project where a device (or rather the library using it) can’t really be used with a debugger. So 500 print()s it is.
It’s just a question of time. Every platform will devolve into either obscurity or cesspool.
Something like a 5 ¼" archival SSD would be really cool. Just a solid storage chonk, that you can forget in a drawer.
Pipedream, I know.
And if you remember, that this whole shebang was only started, because Snowden revealed that the NSA spied on all of us, it’s getting much much darker.
Correct.
And especially artists, or people aspiring to be artistic, are suffering from an inferiority complex which they try to hide behind grandiose “higher values” of art.
AI threatens to expose that art is meaningless unless you can use it to distinguish yourself from the plebs, or those you deem plebs.
Exactly. And putting value into things just because they’re made by humans is a stupid idea.
Humans don’t exist on a separate plane, removed from everything natural and artificial. That’s hubris galore.
So you’re out of arguments and resort to ad hominem?
Well, that’s not very poetic of you.
Or, there simply isn’t anything to “get”.
Art is often enough deliberately made in such a way that you can’t know what was meant, without knowing beforehand what the artist meant. Framing that as some form of sophistication is simply delusional gatekeeping. It’s the attempt to set the own class apart, nothing more.
These are memes. Symbols that only make sense, if you know the reference. Treating these as indicators for anything is just an attempt to create an in-group.
Or maybe accept that this idea was crap all along?
You desperately try to create some form of human superiority, just to feel important. That superiority doesn’t exist. There’s no value in anything just because it’s made with “love”, that’s an illusion.
Germany has a worker problem right now.
Amazon pays 2€/h above minimum wage for warehouse workers, Lidl pays 1€ above minimum wage for stocking shelves.
Yes, there are issues with job training, but a) nurses don’t get paid that bad (a single mom nurse managed to get me through school and a master’s degree) and b) you can’t find any workers at all, currently. Germany has de facto full employment right now. Those who are unemployed are almost always unable or not allowed to work.
Like, not being able to run it on a perfectly capable machine, just because someone at MS decided it’s not new enough? Yeah, minor annoyance.
Then how exactly do you outsource nurses, bus drivers, retail workers and plumbers?
No.
Debian takes a few clicks and you have a working desktop.
