If you have the freedom try Typescript.

The tsx files are almost identical to jsx except for the need to define the field types your ingesting.

While thats a little extra work, it allows Visual Studio Code to perform deeper analysis and provide much more helpful contextual hints.

I grew to love JSX and tried TSX out of interest and you couldn't convince to go back to pure JS

I would argue this is good journalism, you have a noted economic expert that the SNP tried to hire and is pro independence give his opinion on the SNP independence plans from an economic perspective.

He thinks they are pretty disastrous.

When AMD launched Ryzen they deliberately offered way more I/O bandwidth than Intel.

The first generation Ryzen CPU's used RAM frequency that could cause performance issues if you used low frequency RAM. That got fixed in the 3000 series.

There are a small number of Ryzen CPU's which end with "3D," it means they had 3D Cache memory and its supposed to add rediculous performance in certain situations. Phoronix runs tons of benchmarks on CPU and GPU.

The only Intel instructions AMD haven't implemented is AVX-512 and AVX-10. No one uses AVX-512 as Intel CPU's get so hot they performance throttle so much its faster to not use the extension. AVX-10 is something new Intel released this year to get around that.

AMD does support AVX2 which a lot of Audio/Video products do use.

I shall have a think where it makes sense to create one. Lits were created a while back and seem to have been purged

Short Message Format = Tweet Thread = post

KBin calls a community a "magazine" and Magazine mods can associate hashtags with the Magazine.

The idea is from your instance you can look at the thread view or microblog (tweet) view.

KBin was started by a person called Ernest, he doesn't seem particularly great at accepting outside help. A number of people who wanted to contribute but found their work stuck for review for months forked KBin and called it MBin.

Have you considered migrating to a magazine on Kbin/MBin?

The daily updates are quite useful but currently my means of finding them is via your posts in Reddit. The post views in Lemmy discourage you to go into spaces and I don't think thread pinning translates accross instances.

KBin/Mbin support the short message format in Activity Pub so creating a thread on that platform should reflect into Mastodon and Mastodon comments will come through into the post. If you add a couple of hashtags it would also help discoverability.

Your posts are the most useful ones for daily summaries and probably the most useful contribution to the reddit starship dev thread.

There will always be someone who is beating you in a metric (buying houses, having kids, promotions, pay, relationships, etc..) fixating on it will drive you mad.

Instead you should compare your current status against where you were and appreciate how you are moving forward

As for age

During university my best mate was 27 who dropped out of his final year, grabbed a random job, then went to college to get a BTEC so they could start the degree.

It was similar in my graduate intake, we had a 26 year old who had been a brickie for 5 years before getting a comp sci degree.

The first person I line managed was a junior 15 years older than me, who had a completely different career stream. They had the house, kids, had managed big teams, etc.. honestly I learnt tons from them.

I thought server side anti cheat was the most effective. Since it can't be modified by clients and tracks clients for impossible behaviour.

Plex has been baking in features like that to help you see what is on other streaming channels, etc..

Personally the whole point of Plex for me was it was a container for my existing DVD/Blu Ray collection, while Plex has added some really cool features. Increasingly they keep resetting the dashboard to try and force engagement with new features, it feels a bit user hostile and I've been switching to Jellyfin (same idea but entirely open source and self hosted).

From a discovery perspective, personally I've found good content tends to create its own word of mouth style buzz.

For example at the moment you can't go near twitter, reddit, work, BBC News, etc.. without someone talking about 'Mr Bates vs The Post Office'. Recently the risa community kept mentioning Babylon 5 so I picked up all 5 seasons for £20 and watched it through. Similarly the Risa community really seems to love Star Trek prodigy so I'll probably give that a go at some point.

I suspect they mean around packaging.

I honestly believe Red Hat has a policy that everything should pull in Gnome. I have had headless RHEL installs and half the CLI tools require Gnome Keyring (even if they don't deal with secrets or store any). Back in RHEL 7, Kate the KDE based Text Editor pulled in a bunch of GTK dependencies somehow.

Certification is really someone paid to go through a process and so its designed so they pass.

Think about the people you know who are Agile/Cloud/whatever certified and how all it means is they have learnt the basic examples.

Its no different when a business gets certified.

The only reason people care is because they can point to the cert if it all goes wrong

Can you elaborate..

I have looked after a few instances of Active Directory and basic user management involved multiple steps through GUI's clearly written at different times (you would go from a Windows 8 to Windows 95 to Windows XP styled windows, etc..)

I much prefer FreeIPA, if I wanted to modify a user account it was two button clicks. Adding a group and bulk applying was the work of moments. You can setup replicas and for a couple hundred users it uses no resources.

The only advantage I could see related to Exchange Integration as it makes it really easy to setup Sharepoint, Skype & Email.

Sharepoint never gets setup properly and you find people switching to alternatives like Confluence, Github/Gitlab Pages or Media Wiki. So that isn't an advantage.

Everybody loathes Skype and your asked to setup an alternative (Mattermost, Slack, Zoom, etc..). I am not sure how integrated Teams is.

Which really only leaves Email and I just can see the one off pain of setting up Dovecot as worth the ongoing usability pain of AD's user control.

The person is correct in this isn't a Linux problem, but relates to your experience.

Windows worked by giving everyone full permissions and opening every port. While Microsoft has tried to roll that back the administration effort goes into restricting access.

Linux works on the opposite principle, you have to learn how to grant access to users and expose ports.

You would have to learn this mental switch no matter what Linux task your trying to learn

Dockers guide to setting up a headless docker is copy/paste. You can install Docker Desktop on Linux and the effort is identical to windows. The only missing step is

sudo usermod -aG docker $user

To ensure your user can access the docker host as a local user.
