I had to use an iphone for 3 years when I moved because my Android didn't get good reception at my new house. I loathed every single moment of it solely because the typing experien…

>C++ is not that complex Relative to what, exactly? It is very hard to take a statement like yours seriously when even veteran developers continue to ship software with memory bugs…

>I don’t really see how a language could prevent you from finding joy in programming By saddling the writer with tons of syntax and gotchas that is hard to keep at the top of his m…

Every one of our client sites have one. It's proving to be a pain, so maybe that will change soon.

The problem with allowing "basic image-and-some-text-on-the-page adverts" is that you also allow "pop-ups, forced interstitials, autoplaying audio, …" and malware attacks since the…

As a compromise, I suggest the source code must be made public for patented ideas.

Good. Now I hope someone figures out how to abolish software patents.

I don't understand what people mean when they say things like CSS has gotten more complex. It's not like anyone is realistically expected to commit the entire spec to memory. Docum…

Is this part of a larger drama I'm missing?

I live in a place that was very similar to what you describe. In the last couple years it's become as bad as where I moved from some days. A lot of it is the surrounding areas have…

It's not just urban areas. It is a scourge that plagues literally every corner of the world. There is nowhere in the city, the suburbs, small towns, or the middle of nowhere where …

Does that include motorcycles that have illegal aftermarket exhaust systems with all emission controls removed in an effort to make them as loud as possible? This accounts for abou…

They might have to be that way to buy them new from the factory. But the moment it belongs to you and even before you leave the lot, you can have illegal aftermarket exhaust system…

And several times the noise and pollution.

I was assured that being skeptical about offloading the use of my brain to a third party that might not always be there was being a luddite.

I began to suspect that it was the processor after I started doing Blender renders and either Blender would crash 100% of the time or I would get a BSoD, which I though was basical…

The only fix is to replace it. There is something wrong with the processor itself that is unfixable by mortal hands.

I may have been able to return it to Newegg, but return shipping is hit or miss as to whether you have to pay for it and I was honestly so frustrated with the whole fiasco that I j…

I had a 13900K blue screen at random for almost a year. Anything that used more than a certain amount of cores would either crash or blue screen, which was irritating considering I…

If you can't trust the mail, the phone, or your computer, make them come to your house with the sheriff. It's almost as if a consumer protection agency should be created and funded…

For the extra dollars they'll obtain when it is no longer too dangerous to release.

That's horrifying.

What I'm saying is that it doesn't matter if you disallow them access now, because they've already gotten everything they want, whether you wanted it or not. The difference between…
