3x rule is not a rule but a guideline. It applies more to the average person.
If you give someone 100 dollars a day they have to buy food, clothes, rent, education, transportation. You give them 1000 dollars a day they still have to buy the same things. They can then use this leftover to buy nicer food or nicer house. This is why values of homes can get so high in areas. For the people getting 1000 they chose where ti spend this extra money. For people with 100 a day they don’t have extras to reallocate towards rent.
One way to make it safer is to run inside webassembly. I needed an easy way to modify photoshop files and allow give those commands to other users. So you may want to check out https://knicknic.github.io/imagemagick/ it’s Imagemagick in a progressive web app that allows you to share commands.
Well, I'm pretty sure the banks do in fact originate mortgages but if they are ultimately owned by the government, then given we print our own money and collect taxes, such things can be adjusted easily.
They pay you for work because it’s work, not because it’s fun. It’s easy to say, but they get X from you for that money. They don’t take it, you give it. If you are unhappy with how much you are giving than give less. If they are unhappy with how much you are giving than they pay less. Just adjust how much you are willing to give.
No evidence the vaccine gives dogs arthritis, either. Hell is too good for the anti-vaxxers who drove the human version off the market, and for the reporters who abetted them.
Potential security vulnerabilities? If I have a library and it works in 2 & 3. But I stopped working on keeping it 2 compliant because 2 is no longer supported. Than I will never bring a single fix to 2, even security fixes.
Due to code divergence it may not be even easy for me to understand if the issue reproduces in 2.
That creates a good business model for someone to come along and charge a premium to fix security bugs in old code. I think it’s more likely something like that will happen, than everyone moving their code to work on 3.x.
There have been several threads on COBOL here on this forum, and the anecdotal consensus is that COBOL developers don't actually get paid much more than developers in any other language.
It sounds like the tax is from choosing to use python at all. Either pay to keep legacy codebases or pay to update. Given a choice between two evils, I choose another language.
Employees will just slack on another device. A phone or something.
I haven’t been in a bank in over 5 years. I have refinanced my home twice, and will probably do so again without stepping inside an office. The only reason I see to have an in person bank is if I wanted a safety deposit box, or frequently needed to get money changed.
For certain types of large transactions, identity verification still sometimes makes it easier to go into an office if doing so is convenient enough.
That said, I had a large transaction I needed to do fairly early in the pandemic. I'd gone into an office to do an earlier iteration on this but I really didn't want to do so in April. I was able to do it over the phone. I remarked to a friend of mine who is regularly involved in such things that "A lot of orgs are discovering they don't actually need to do their traditional processes" and she fully agreed that a lot of people are discovering they don't actually need to do everything they thought they did.
If someone is going to just close these questions, then I will drop them as it’s not open source I want to be a part of.
I am okay with paying for software. not okay with paying to find out my feature request will get denied
