OFC there will be an integration platform (DEV) as well as QE and pre-PROD. And yes, it’s possible to develop on remote machines, but my experience is that first lines of code are normally done on local machines.
Re: IBM mainframes. I get your point and it is valid. Luckily I’m too young to experience such dark times.
I see it this way: We use DCs to do something, most likely to run software. That software has to be written somewhere, possibly on a developer's workstation or laptop. They compile the software on their machines before pushing to PROD in DCs/Cloud. And what is the majority of local machines out there? I'm pretty sure these are not ARM-based.
No sane developer would accept that their software is written, compiled, and tested on one architecture to be recompiled and pushed for PROD use on another. That's not a like-for-like test.
Before ARM's desire to be a king of DCs is a reality, they need to at least have a big presence in desktop.
Not quite. If you think about Nexcloud as a synced file storage, then Dropbox started earlier. But Nextcloud is much more than that. It's more of groupware. Think file storage and sync, mail client, photo/video browser, calendar, contacts and more. All in a browser. And that does sound like Office 365. Just smaller, open-source and optionally self-hosted.
Karlitschek started coding Owncloud in 2010 and then forked it to Nextcloud, when his Owncloud chums decided to be less open-source and more "enterprise", aka "they've done Mongo". So LiveMesh is not the right comparison. However, it was a lovely product, but as soon as they turned it to SkyDrive, I went to Owncloud.
The subject of today's lesson is: How to spot a Russian troll?
1. Does the post contain many facts and a possibility of introducing alternative "facts" Check!
2. Does the post is off-topic, therefore moving conversations to a different path? Check!
3. Does the post say how Americans/Europeans are evil? Check!
4. Does the post not even once mention Russia? Check!
Congratulations! You now have basic skills in detecting a Russian agent of influence.
Docker Desktop is exactly as you describe. I was happily using Linux to connect to the corp VPN until the security decided that it is a big no no. So instead of working with the corp IT to provide Linux laptops for those who need it, they forced the use of Windows. Luckily WSL2 and Docker Desktop help somewhat.
Clearly, the person who attached the dish decided that it’s easier to screw it to the bonnet. Access is easier and won’t cost much to rectify. If he; I assume it was a man; did it on the roof then he would have massive three holes to patch if the “test” failed.
So some reasonable thinking here, but not much.
To clarify here - Under the "Roman Law" private legal and natural entities (companies and people) are allowed to do anything they want unless it's prohibited (Civil Code). However, it is totally opposite for the governmental bodies. They are only allowed to do what is permitted for them in the law (Administrative Code). So, the police, for example, can only set up surveillance only if the law permits them to do it. This is how it works in Europe.
BTW, I'm a techie who has received formal 5 years long legal training - yes, really!
As someone who was in this business I can definitely say that certain functionalities of the system could be handy. E.g. a full and up to date text about the despatch received on the personal radio. Or maybe location data pinpointing to an incident site with correct directions. And access to PNC from the PR. This of course works in vehicle based Mobile Data Terminals (MDT) but not all coppers operate in cars. So basically voice over 4G is a gimmick but access to all the data on personal radios would be just perfect.
