This is the most elegant and polite refutation of age verification I've ever seen

I'll heartily second this. After years of Unity, I just couldn't stand the developer experience any more. Waiting for iterative compiles that took an ice age each time I changed a line of code killed me. Angelscript UE is as close to engine perfection as I can imagine

This is horrifying. Everyone should be horrified.

I think they mean OAuth credentials (all these APIs use OAuth unless you're doing something terribly wrong).

Yep we're using Oauth, so it's easy for a user to disconnect.

B is exactly how I've felt about, in order: C, C++, Java, C#, Javascript. I spent almost 20 years writing languages I did not like because I couldn't find jobs in anything else.

Rust saved some of us from a lifetime of exactly the problems you have with Rust, maybe let us have this one :)

Woodworking, blacksmithing, gardening, etc

Things that don't take computers to create

Never tried it on AMD hardware, but I can confirm Nvidia drivers cause it to go haywire on all 4 of my machines. I try yearly or so, see everything's still a dumpster fire, and head back to X11

This has been my every experience with Wayland + Nvidia thus far. Tried Tumbleweed and Fedora both, nothing but display bugs as far as the eye can see.

Lets not even talk about trying to use Wayland in a VM desktop -- Even Firefox/Chrome don't render properly.

Does your card have proper DRM support (the linux subsystem for managing video buffers)? That’s what wayland builds upon (instead of patching the xorg binary with some proprietary extension).

WTF? I thought NVIDIA had adopted an open-source core? Is this seriously something outsiders can't fix?

They have since started supporting the linux kernel and implemented its APIs more or less. I don’t own any nvidia card, so can’t really speak from first-hand experience though.

This is the correct answer for sure. I managed an LMS department for years and you nailed it.

I'd also like to add that most education IT departments tend not to have many people capable of building or maintaining something as complex as an LMS. That means you'd need to hire at least a couple new software devs at software dev salaries and software dev benefits to keep them...which ends up costing MORE per year than it costs to shove 99% of the problem off onto Blackboard support and remove a large source of risk while saving money.

this does not address the OSS / proprietary choice though. e.g., there are companies providing support for Moodle. it is service that must be paid somehow, whether through internal staff, external partners or a proprietary software vendor as an additional offering.

The mystery is why they wouldn't amortize the development costs of the platform across the vast number of institutions, creating an ecosystem where smaller edtechs could provide niche customizations via plugins etc.

How do you become one of those kind instead of smashing your face against CORS constantly

i think the purpose of cors is to slowly make web devs go insane. but yeah, more coors less cors

Legacy developers would be the biggest group.
