Higgs boson

I havent seen it in years because of forever stamps and digital postage, but people used to actually do this to make up for a few cents postage for a heavy letter, et c. My mom is notoriously cheap though, so maybe it is just us.

Gotta follow rules 1 and 2, of course.

Whose expectations? Who says we have to pay them any mind?Unless their name is on the deed, or they pay me wages, I don’t much care what they expect.

I know someone who only learned Biden had dropped out upon seeing his name was not on the (mail-in) ballot. I was a little jealous.

My background is in enterprise software, so that is obviously different than a desktop tool for individual use, but it informs my opinions.

In general it depends on the use (is it “production” critical, etc) as well as the update and distribution mechanisms.

I have several (mostly for windows) FOSS projects i have stopped using or just rarely update because they require too many steps to update, and/or do so too often.Or they require a reboot. Some of them prompt for an update every time I start them. Feh.

That said, if there isn’t much friction like testing cycles or manual steps to update, I want faster updates.

Most of my self-hosted stuff falls into the category of getting updates via package managers or docker. Those are often seemless and do not require manual steps.
