I am aware. I probably should have said "inspired".

They updated the graphic to include HPV style vehicles that are more aerodynamic than bicycles (usually just a bicycle with an aero-shell). I am not sure why this has come up now b…

`var` doesn't have weird scoping issues, it just different than other languages. `var` is function scoped, thus all var declarations are hoisted to the top of the function during e…

Arguments about whether the is and switch operators should exist is missing the forest for the trees. I am sure there are circumstances where it very useful. It isn't any one langu…

> Pure efficiency in locomotion is a terrible measure, is a person on a bicycle more efficient traversing a forest? Quite possibly. I would imagine it depends on the forest. I've b…

The issue is that I dislike the overall mentality of just adding a bunch of language features. Things just seem to be dumped in each release and I think to myself "When I am going …

> The chip is expected to power future Microsoft Surface products scheduled for release in 2026. It looks like it is intended to run Windows Arm.

I use it to generate me example code e.g. how do I do in using . I've also had it suggest solutions e.g. "This C++/OpenGL code doesn't run in wayland can you suggest some solutions…

I find there are some environments where you have a positive feedback loop while working in them. PHP is one of them, Go is another at least for me. I find many of languages I am c…

There is a huge amount of syntactic sugar that has been added over the years that doesn't do whole lot IMO. It is often imported from other languages (usually JavaScript and/or Pyt…

Much like PHP, you can actually get stuff done unlike a lot of other programming languages.

>Sure, there are a lot of people that use Linux indirectly e.g. deploy to a Linux box, use Docker or a VM. But if someone isn't running Windows, 9 times out of 10 they are running …

I can't stand modern C#. They've bung in a bunch of new keywords and features that are of dubious benefit every release.

> It's funny how functional programming is slowly becoming the best practice for modern code (pure functions, no side-effects), I once mentioned both these concepts to a room of C#…

I never said that nobody uses Linux. I said that it was extremely uncommon even amongst developers.

The way you are using irresponsible is perverse. e.g. Being Irresponsible in this context would be remortgaging your house, while unemployed and using all the money to buy gadgets.…

You are the minority but you can believe whatever you like. The vast majority of developers I have worked with (and I've contracted a lot of places) know next to next to nothing ab…

It is easy to miss a subscription for something on a bill when it is less than £30. I had a match.com subscription I had forgotten about for about 7 years. That business model is w…

> I think what you want is for software developers not to write bloated code, instead of computers not getting faster. The bloated code is a result of undisciplined programming and…

> Being frugal, thinking about what you need and similar ways of thinking is not common in the real world, it's a small selection of any population that acts and reasons like that.…

I don't think there is anything wrong with liking popular things and tbh this attitude that somehow you are better because you like more niche things is very close to snobbery. I a…

I am sure it is fine. HellDivers 2 (the game I like to play) needed a lot of messing about with to work well on Linux. It really depends on what game you are playing as to how well…

It isn't that much of an issue gaming on Windows. Yes, I had to do a one time workaround for a local account and run a de-crapifier. But it wasn't that difficult. If it becomes too…

> On Linux, the really old games just work, as do virtually all new games with the exception of those very few big budget new releases. It really seems like you aren't reading what…
