So I’m referring a number of articles that talk about it as “Listings”

So am I. I read that article as well and “Program listings” is IMHO definitive, a “program listing” is a list of the instructions in the program it is a term I used to use myself, it’s just fallen out of fashion. In addition this article shows form feed paper with a snippet of the actual code, one line per instruction.

Also, it’s nothing like Musk, maybe you don’t work in the industry but a “Team lead” is a programmer, just with additional organisational responsibilities. If you read the rest of the article I linked there are those that consider her the first professional “Software Engineer”, and mistaking a team lead for the only member of the team is a common mistake, especially when they were the first programmer hired for the Apollo mission, It’s a mistake, I wouldn’t classify it as a lie.

Funny thing is I was in secondary school in the 80s and had 3 Teachers (Technical Drawing, Art and PE) who had also taught my Dad, so he had stories, for the same teachers, that blew mine out of the water.

The worst thing I ever saw were two 15 year old boys being dragged by their collars across gravel by my geography teacher when getting off the coach from a school trip aboard. They had trashed their hotel room, tearing the paper off the walls, burning their bedsheets and throwing food and drink all over the room. This would have been bad enough but the trip was to the CCCP (as was) and the hotel had contacted the local governor who had contacted the embassy in the UK who had talked to the Foreign Office, putting the whole educational trip program in jeopardy. By the time the bollocking had made it to the school (before we arrived back at the school the teachers and students had no idea, there were no mobile phones back then) it was apocalyptic, so my Geography teacher just totally lost his shit, mixture of fear and rage I think.

My Dad’s stories involved Teachers dangling kids out of the windows by their ankles and having their head shoved in a desk and the desk lid slammed down. Proper “how was nobody killed” kind of stuff.

Docker-compose is a orchestration tool that wraps around the inbuilt docker functions that are exposed like “docker run”, when teaching people a tool you generally explain the base functions of the tool and then explain wrappers around that tool in terms of the functions you’ve already learned.

Similarly when you have a standalone container you generally provide the information to get the container running in terms of base docker, not an orchestration tool… unless the container must be used alongside other containers, then orchestration config is often provided.

I don’t know how old you are but when I was first introduced to programming in the early 80s all “source code” (Mostly basic and thus interpreted where program is the source code) was referred to as “listings” (this was when the main source of games were monthly magazines where you typed in a listing from a magazine and saved it to tape E.G.. The “Program listings” (as the Smithsonian calls them) seem to be print outs of the programs for verification purposes.

The process of entering was indeed handwritten, on specially printed sheets of paper that was then handed to a punchcard operator to create the cards (again according to the Smithsonian), But the stack of paper is clearly not those sheets as it is form-feed printer paper.

It is completely accurate that Margaret Hamilton lead a team, so while there are inaccuracies I’d say this not as much of a lie as just a combination of confused concepts,

I think it really depends what you value as a power user, many “enthusiast” features still need root access and that both limits your choice but also (almost) rules out utility features (that I, personally, view as a requirement nowadays) like Google Pay

If you’re looking for “big iron” apps like photo editing and midi sequencers then memory and speedy storage would be a requirement (many of the “gaming phone” models satisfy this)

Docker is much easier than it seems, imagine a single app with all it’s dependencies all the way down to the os level being all wrapped up in a virtual filesystem so it can’t see anything else. Only the kernel is shared.

So if “Awesome Webapp Jeroboam” needs a different version of python than you have installed and and old version of ffmpeg for some utility it needs, along with the apache webserver where you prefer nginx, no problem, all that mess gets wrappped up in a container and you don’t have to worry about it.

Not sure how the setup differs but ours does not work with chrome, only edge

Not necessarily, I’m using Pop!OS but my workplace AzureAD SSO mandates Edge on Linux so you’re not safe.

Doesn’t surprise me at all, the company I work for has gone all in with AzureAD SSO and that will only work on Edge (edge supplies info for the MS asset verification software that constantly eats my CPU) so now we can’t use anything other than Edge for any internal service and need to develop for Edge if we are writing an internal tool.

Personally I always use containers unless there is a good reason to use a VM, and those reasons do exist. Sometime you want a whole, fully functional OS complete with custom kernel, in that situation a VM is a good idea, sometimes a utility only comes packaged as a VM.

But absent of a good reason, containers are just better in the majority of cases

I would hope this would be obvious to anyone. If your client can highlight which posts you have upvoted in the web and app UI then the fact that your user specifically upvoted that post must be recoverable from the instance server and thus must be recoverable by the instance admins. I would not expect anything different.

There and lots of small reasons that ebb and flow with Android release but I have one red line I will not cross:

The OS on any portable computer of mine must always allow me to develop personal use software with no subscription or gatekeeping to the development, installation or continued use of that software.

That, so far, rules out all iOS devices. And really iOS and Android are the only players in the game worth using, so I’ve been and android user since installing the first beta on an SD card for my Windows Mobile HTC Blueangel
