Everything was simple and straightforward except for updating an app after new release before the distro maintainers updated it in repos (which often took months).
Far right gonna naziing and far left gonna tanking. Does not say much about political stability...
Have you thought about why Switch is the best selling console in the current generation even though it's by far the weakest in performance?
Who cares what OS the AWS machines are running? I can't touch it, it's completely inaccessible for me and other clients. I can only touch the services which AWS provides. I wouldn't know the difference if it was running windows, since the OS is completely transparent, basically a hidden implementation detail.
You keep making the assumption that AWS == EC2, meanwhile it is just one of many services AWS provides.
Abstracting away is costly. You can target only the lowest common denominator. The abstractions are going to leak. It's like the criticism of ORMs, only worse since SQL is at least standardized.
That must be why SMIC just showed 7nm capability years ahead of when people expected it.
Nah, it was expected all the way since SMIC bought 7nm lithography machines from ASML. It will be more interesting to watch when they start building their own lithography machines since their current stock will not scale (and will eventually break down without spare parts).
That must be why Russia is projecting GDP growth this year and Russia’s manufacturing
Yeah, according to Rosstat :-)
Who do you think you’re convincing with this?
I'm not trying to convince anybody, I'm fine with the current sanction course. But it's kinda funny to watch the Russian / tankie desperate "sanctions don't work, so .... you know there's no sense in continuing them, so .... you should lift them."
They are working, but they can still be improved, hence this.
Post-scarcity society still has to be backed by something. In the novel, it's 3d printers. If you have more 3d printers than others, you can use it to produce weapons to capture even more 3d printers from other people, making them scarce, and thus introducing scarcity again.
Too bad that Purism's stated values are the opposite of their real business practices.
In a post scarcity society, you walk away. Let them have your shit. You can build new shit, better shit
How do you do that if they take all your 3d printers (the technology which sustains the post-scarcity world in this novel)?

Some, like tschüß, servus or ciao are informally used by some Czechs, others like guten tag, bon jour, dobro došli are understood, but not used unless in some joke way. It would be pretty weird to encounter any of them when talking to e. g. hotel staff, though, unless there's an expectation you speak that language.
