Zulip isn't a Matrix server. Zulip doesn't federate.

If you want a private, non-federated chat server -- for your organization, basically -- Zulip is awesome.

If you want federated chat, Zulip doesn't do that.

Since every matrix server requires you create its own user id, I never understood the benefit of being federated.

Personally I see "doesn't scale well" as a feature, if I'm evaluating something to use on a personal or small project. Tools with clear limits on what they're not for usually have a more polished experience for what they are for.

Which is why I said he should be more upfront about it. I had to find that statement buried after 30 minutes of reading how amazing fossil was.

>Git focuses on individual branches, because that is exactly what you want for a highly-distributed bazaar-style project such as Linux. Linus Torvalds does not want to see every check-in by every contributor to Linux: such extreme visibility does not scale well. Contrast Fossil, which was written for the cathedral-style SQLite project and its handful of active committers

Ugh...so after all that fanfare of how amazing fossil is, the author admits it just doesn't scale well. I was wondering how that "see it all" approach worked for a busy repo, and now I know, it just doesn't.

I love SQLite, and glad the primary author is happy working on it with fossil. I think if he published it's largest downfall first, it might gain more adoption to folks that could actually use that feature.

That sounds like a really cool experience! They probably executed consecutively and not concurrently though, right?

If you use double ampersand, yes. One amp will kick them off consecutively, but they will run concurrently.

What's more important for most users, document editing or image/video editing?
somenewaccount1 · 2 years ago
In 2023? I would argue image/video editing for sure.

I posted this comment in response to the previous submission [1] of this same "paper":

Also note that the prior work they repeatedly cite (no less than 5 times in as many paragraphs, and indirectly referenced several times in relation to the 20+ "sociotechnical factors"), i.e. reference number (9), is based on "semi-structured interviews with 21 developers". While a lot of the observations and recommendations are correct (and are obvious to any seasoned engineering manager), this seems like an academic exercise in picking three somewhat disparate aspects of development and trying to fit them into a geometric shape (an equilateral triangle) and then calling it a framework.

> Although DevEx is complex and nuanced, teams and organizations can take steps toward improvement by focusing on these three key areas.

I feel like they are aware that not everything fits into the framework perfectly, but if your organization was trying to improve DevEx, this framework is a place to start.

Yeah, it's more a case of, "me and probably 10% of hiring managers are massively biased in favour of LaTeX if we see it, and the other 90% won't care either way"
somenewaccount1 · 2 years ago
Uhhh..probably you and .2% of hiring managers. I've never cared when hiring, and have never heard this advice anywhere but this post. No offense, but if it was as common as 10%, recruiters and bloggers would be suggesting it left and right.
