Fair, however at some point of a companies size/spending the complexity of integrating with a SaaS becomes as large as the one to run your own open source tool.
Beyond that, and Im aware this is very much application/company dependent, theres plenty of SaaS companies that offer horrendous or no support no matter what you pay. We used to use splunk for monitoring and logging. Paid a ton of money because we were handling financial data and needed tracibility and reliability. We constantly had to put out fires that were caused by their unreliable platform. It was not a good experience.
Ultimately, we jumped ship to Prometheus. We pay a fraction of the price and spent less time on it.

Agents are limited. With you so far.
> This week we get a demo of a vibe coded frontend that is more beautiful and easy to use than any ticket management system I have seen
Again, totally matches my expectations. Agents totally make pretty stuff that looks like working software.
I just haven't drunk enough management wine to connect the dots and figure out these facts support a jira replacement.
It also gets me wondering, if Atlassian leaned more heavily into AI (More vibe coding, more agents, more layoffs) would they have been able to keep the Klarna contract?
> Are you sure about that? Because thats exactly what Klarna is doing/has done.
That link does not say that they are switching away from a system that requires armies of consultants to implement.
AFAICT, they are switching away from Jira (Atlassian/confluence products). Those are not ERP systems.
Once again, I must point out that the these sorts of assertions reveal that the person making the assertion has never been involved in an ERP rollout, neither a big one nor a small one.
And, again, I reiterate, the only threat is to small players in the market, who don't have a community to hire from. Because to become a big player, you need to gain traction as a small player, and if every small ERP system can be replaced with an AI generated system, non single one is ever going to gain traction (Why pay $10/user/month for a basic system when you can have AI generate that for a once of fee and some employee time?)
Workday is not an ERP? Beyond that, they're effectively replacing major stacks of traditional SaaS tools with in-house ones. Considering the scale and complexity of what Klarna does and the regulations it has to follow across many different markts, I'd say its a valid concern. Now, I don't think SAP etc are going anywhere, especially in traditional businesses where most of the company is reliant on it, but it seems there is a way to do it.
That said, plenty of banks still run on mainframes and use COBOL.
Well lets see how it works out for them - they're ending the partnership for HR software in order to build their own, but they say they haven't built anything yet!
Our knowledge is constantly expanding, allowing us to build things differently than we used to. Modern cryptography, which makes things like multi-sig possible, is only a few decades old; it didn't even exist when the current banking industry was being established.
I think they just meant to point out the petition was available in several languages and tsak was just using one such English versioned link, not to imply that using the main German link also solves mschild's notes.
I.e. it's one thing for a petition to not be on an official government platform/process but it's a completely different type of claim to say it's not even in the country's language when it, of course, is.
The IronFox version of Firefox works excellently on my 2019 Shield TV.
Also the DuckDuckGo browser blocks a ton of stuff on my 2019 Shield TV when first installed via NeoStore (F-Droid and other repositories frontend) then upgraded via AuroraStore (Google Play Store frontend) or Google Play itself. I've found that I had to use that sequence because it could not install initially from the Play Store, but maybe that has changed.
Another browser option is Cromite, which is a hardened Chromium for Android.
China's and India's population numbers always boggle my mind.
Made several friends during my master that were from China. One of them was from Shenyang. Never heard the name before and I'm usually pretty decent with geography. Around 8m inhabitants. Not even in the top 10 population wise. There isnt a single city in the 100 largest cities in China that is below 1m.
It's a common source of confusion. The administrative definition of a 'city' is the equivalent of its metropolitan area + all satelite 'towns' and their suburbs (including farm lands).
My hometown has a population of 3.4 million (prefecture level city or 3rd tier as people call it). But it has an area about 6000 km^2, easily reaching the total size of London. At its core the central town has roughly a population of 700,000. And there are 4 more towns after the central one, each has smaller villages and suburbs under them. People living in these towns wouldn't consider they are living in the same city.
I got the area wrong. Greater London is apparently 1500 km^2 so the total area of my administrative city is 4 times the size of that (with a total population of 3.4 mil)
This is why I refuse/back out of eshops that require accounts.
Has the unintended upside that I often think twice about buying something and often dont.
If I really need something though, ill create an account with a filler email, receive my product, and then make a really tedious (for the company) GDPR request because sometimes I like to be petty. Then I delete my account. If I need something from that store again, I will repeat that process.
There are a lot of valid concerns and complaints about Proton here but one positive thing that stood out to me is the fact that you can reach an actual human being without much fuss.
The amount of companies that I pay money to for one reason or another where its almost impossible to even find a "Contact Us" page much less being actually able to respond via email is way too high.
I had to contact Proton support twice in the 2 years since being subscribed to the Family Ultimate plan. Both times the support answered quickly and provided answers that solved my issues.
TV very much is the idiot box. Not necessarily because of the TV itself but rather whats being viewed. An actual engaging and interesting show/movie is good, but last time I checked, it was mostly filled with low quality trash and constant news bombardment.
Calculators do do arithmetic and if you ask me to do the kind of calculations I had to do in high school by hand today I wouldnt be able to. Simple calculations I do in my head but my ability to do more complex ones diminished.
Thats down to me not doing them as often yes, but also because for complex ones I simply whip out my phone.
On my part, I don't use that carry method at ll. When I have to substract, I substract by chunks that my brain can easily subtract. For example 1233 - 718, I'll do 1233 - 700 = 533 then 533 - 20 = 513 then 513 + 2 = 515. It's completely instinctive (and thus I can't explain to my children :-) )
What I have asked my children to do very often is back-of-the-envelope multiplications and other computations. That really helped them to get a sense of the magnitude of things.
I have a two year old and often worry that I'll teach him some intuitive arithmetic technique, then school will later force a different method and mark him down despite getting the right answer. What if it ends up making him hate school, maths, or both?
I experienced this. Only made me hate school, but maybe because I had game programming at home to appreciate math with
Just expose them to everyday math so they aren't one of those people who think math has no practical uses. My father isn't great with math, but would raise questions like how wide a river was (solvable from one side with trig, using 30 degree angles for easy math). Napkin math makes things much more fun than strict classroom math with one right answer
Commonly school is teaching a method. "Getting the right answer" is just a byproduct of applying the method. If you tell your kid that they should just learn the methods you teach and be dismissive or angry about school trying to teach them other techniques, that's probably going to cause some issues downstream.
Techniques of an "intuitive" character often lack or have formal underpinnings that are hard to understand, which means they do not to the same extent implicitly teach analytical methods that might later be a requirement for formal deduction.
I hope that I wouldn't be dismissive or angry. My worry is that my son will feel dejected because he (correctly) thinks he understands something but is told he's wrong. I also worry about him getting external validation from following a method, and will value that over genuine understanding and flexible thinking. But I see your point that it's my responsibility to help him work through that and engage with the syllabus.
This doesn’t scale to larger numbers though. I do that too for smaller subtractions but if I need to calculate some 9 digit computation then I would use the standard pen and paper tabular method with borrowing (not that it comes up in practice).
"Common core" math is an attempt to codify this style so more kids can get a deeper understanding of numbers instead of just blindly following steps. Like the people that created it noticed people like you and me (I do something similar but not quite the same) have an intuitive understanding of math that made us good at it that they want to replicate for everyone. But it seems like very few parents and teachers understand it themselves, resulting in a blind-leading-the-blind situation where it gets taught in a bad way that doesn't achieve the goal.
Also aside, in the method I was taught in school (and I assume you and GP from terminology), "carrying" is what you do with addition (an extra 1 can be carried to the next column), "borrowing" is for subtraction (take a 1 away from the next column if needed).
Beyond that, and Im aware this is very much application/company dependent, theres plenty of SaaS companies that offer horrendous or no support no matter what you pay. We used to use splunk for monitoring and logging. Paid a ton of money because we were handling financial data and needed tracibility and reliability. We constantly had to put out fires that were caused by their unreliable platform. It was not a good experience.
Ultimately, we jumped ship to Prometheus. We pay a fraction of the price and spent less time on it.
