The Sistine Chapel was a commission.

A very large fraction of everything we collect as great art marking our history was made on commission. The GGP is showing their complete ignorance of the history of art.

You keep saying reduce regulation and then bring up things like adding permitting and taxing certain processes which is regulation.

The other thing you're not understanding is how the state can enforce regulations and how the federal government has to. States cannot levy tariffs.

Honestly, it's not even the learning curve. It's easy. Most people can think precisely enough to program.

The difference is that we enjoy sitting in a chair for ~8 hours a day laying dominoes. A lot of folks do not like that.

If they paid us for coding they would pay by LOC but that's not the case.

The easy part and hard are not mutually exclusive.

The screen broke on my S24 but I'd still like to use the compute, ram and storage.

samsung phones can be plugged into an external display and used like a computer right?

I was actually just going to do that with an old Galaxy S24. Seems like there's no easy way to add something like docker. Best I can find is to try to use qemu to get a full Linux VM.

Do you happen to know what kind of performance you can expect? Or perhaps a better way?

There's an app called Termux that comes with distro sources compiled for the Android/Linux. They're not binary compatible with regular GNU/Linux, but runs most software through distro standard ways.

That means you need more marketing. Coke isn't popular because of lock in.

Not every request is idempotent and its not known when or why a request has failed. GETs are ok (in theory) but you can't retry a POST without risk of side effects.

I am a contractor and have been fixing shit large part of my career. non-idempotent POSTs are just about always at the top of the list of shit to fix immediately. To this day (30 years in) I do not understand how can someone design a system where POSTs are not idempotent… I mean I know why, the vast majority of people in our industry are just not good at what they do but still…

Yep. I worked in corporate back-office IT way before the web era. It was a requirement that every batch job be re-runable idempotently. So if it failed, you'd identify the bad data, excise it, rerun the job, and deal with the bad record in the morning.

There were some issues with replaying certain GETs back in the day:

They never used LiDAR. They removed the radar.
