There are actually companies (very few) that work with migrating large cobol code bases to java, in a automated manner. And it costs a lot, hundreds of millions and it takes a couple of years. They ensure that the cobol and java execution is doing the same thing. So it works, but it's shit. Many do this because it's hard to find cobol developers and the cost of IBM mainframes.

Anyways the code turns into cobol style in Java, horrible and hard work with, would never like to maintain it.

It's all a bunch of bullshit, that is designed to make it seem like it isn't a crazy idea.

"Yeah that is right, the Canadians can vote too, it's still a democracy".

Yes, us enterprise where business have the same rights as humans, the country that by keeping people stupid and uneducated, elected Donald Trump. No Canada is not all gonna be infected with thugs and corporate cronies, they will have states and can vote.

It's not Amazon where they will ship the product when you order it, manufacturers usually don't have massive stock piles and it might already be a long order queue. And if everyone is gonna buy, well then the price will increase, its better to invest the money in local production and infrastructure

Yeah right, by your History, you mean: Germany will not acknowledge any genocide, because they are trying to evade paying reparations for the genocides they committed in parts of Africa.

Art is subjective, AI is a buzzword, if statements are considered AI, especially in the gaming world.

And the current state of LLMs and what are the smartest and brightest in the industry have only managed to produce utter trash, while sacrificing the planet and its inhabitants. I like your daughter more, she will create more value and at the same time not be a total corporate tool, ruining the planet for generations to come, mad respect.

(not calling you a tool, but people who work with LLMs)

I understand that are trying to be nice, but it's kinda rude tbh. Because you are making it seem like the problems they have aren't actually real. They might not have an alternative nightclub to go to because all of them are shit, or they can't go to another nightclub.

Yeah they launched amazon in Sweden a few years ago, I don't know anyone at all that buys anything from Amazon. We have better alternatives, thank God for that.

We recently migrated our code base to GH and from Jenkins to GH actions. And I can't say that it's any better, just more confusing. Shit was much more simpler on bitbucket server with Jenkins. Never realized GitHub was slow until today, loading pages takes like a second.

My favorite code repository in terms of layout (not functionality) is still gitblit. Looks simpel and easy to read the commit log because that is the first you are shown when navigating in a repository, no PR support though.

I like most fast food to be honest, they're I would guess engineered to taste good. But I seldom eat it though, because of health reasons, and it's become kinda expensive to eat bad good. For the same price, I can go to a local restaurant and have a good quality lunch.

Not to be rude or anything, but it sounds like you've got an unhealthy relationship with social media. I still use reddit for the subreddits I'm interested in, I don't read other subreddits anymore just because the content is bad. Like I don't care about what reddit does or what Lemmy does, if I don't enjoy it, I'll leave, it's that simple.

You don't have to commit to anything, you are also allowed to enjoy the communities of reddit, even if you feel like Reddit did you wrong. It's not worth spending your energy on something you can't control. Reddit is shit, that is the only reason why I only check in once a week or something, and to be frank those communities are dying if they aren't already dead.

For me it's only about if I enjoy it and that includes how it's being run. But anyways things tend to become bad when they grow large, I will probably spend less time with Lemmy when it has become bigger. And then I'll have find another social media platform.

Yeah the guy is a scam artist, of course he has a new scam, where he sells user information and you get a small percentage of it. Or he decides what ads are being shown and you get a small single digit percentage of that.
