Uh, absolutely not? It's a completely new universe.

I used to run Odoo on-premise for a small company about 3-4 years ago. The upgrade path (with the OpenUpgrade fork) was awful, many features (that WYSIWYG editor, Odoo Studio?) were locked to the cloud version, and there was little to no documentation. IIRC we even had to drop it because the delay between on-prem updates & cloud updates was too high.

And there were mentions of Flask in the logs, so no it wasn't just Werkzeug (which is synonymous with Flask since its inception, anyways).

I do not have fond memories of editing invoice templates blindly.

Also the very ugly death they gave OpenERP/Odoo on-premise.

Microsoft arbitrarily banning IPs/AS from its infrastructure with no recourse or acknowledgement of the issue (such as 365 lying about accepted mail traffic through SMTP)?

That's basically how this whole industry works? How would you justify the outrageous cost of product management layers otherwise?

Not saying that this is the right way. But it's not a very surprising story, no matter which company (be it Google, Microsoft, OVH...).

You mean the hypertext platform that has been shoehorned into Java's paradigm, suffering from the same boof-o-rama as Windows, and whose lowest common denominator to support must be Safari for iOS?

This is a much better compromise than usual in the gaming industry.

No he's not. This is internet gossip.

The "one kind of experience" is probably referring to Carmack's comparing story in a video game to story in an adult movie.

The Mega Drive derivated from the System 16, but was itself converted into an arcade system.

Titan-Video derivated from the Saturn, according to sources online.

NAOMI/NAOMI 2/Hikaru were derivated from the Dreamcast during development, and there is significant overlap in specs between them and the DC.

Chihiro derivated from the OG Xbox.
