That’s the best description I’ve heard for instagram.

I’d more expect the revolt to be along the lines of calling Microsoft out for being a dick. More an intervention than a revolt.

The academic side is less bananas I will give you that. And your comment about 80m is spot on. The problem we have here in the UK, is that it's pretty easy to get a 2m HT and a lic…

Having met a lot of people I think the license gives some kind officialdom and status which they are otherwise lacking and desire. This is an attribute demanded by a large number o…

No one does this or cares. They care about delivery and keeping ROI high and costs down, not demanding platforms. I wouldn't draw any assumption that higher quality software is por…

Fintech here. Also large. We have no Macs. We will probably never have any. We have a lot of software which will most likely never work on them. None of our clients have them as we…

Windows doesn't matter to Microsoft now. The big sellers are Azure and Office 365 and they work on Macs. As for market share in the US, I very much doubt it's that high really. The…

I would really love ReactOS to replace windows. Genuinely would. But it's not there yet. I've tracked their development for years. As for VirtualBox and VMware, that means I have t…

The ratio of cranks and weirdos to normal people is 9:1 with ham radio. It’s usually the other way round with other hobbies. The thing that gets me with ham radio is some see it as…

Yep. I’m in the middle of switching from macOS back to windows because I need to do things I can’t do on macOS. I’ve had to build out a locked down windows 10 LTSC build to get any…

I had ham radio passed down to me. This turned out, ironically considering it’s a communications hobby, to be isolating and a rather nasty bubble. Sort of like an aether 4chan full…

I cried a little when I read this :(

Completely agree with this. Having ported a lot of old non async c# to async, even mixing the notions for a moment is a disaster. This was a world of pain in the late .net classic …

The video basically points the finger at you.

They do that in London too. Strangely they seem to actually know where they are going.

I had a fairly extensive personal web site for a number of years used as a professional profile. Unfortunately someone I met on a dating app turned out to be a bit of a psychopath …

I’m convinced the only thing Wi-Fi doesn’t fuck out on at the moment is windows. Had problems with Linux, macs and android for the last few years. Just works on windows! Shame abou…

Fair but I wanted to be a fighter pilot because the money was better than driving a bus. So I learned c#. The company I worked for, a software dev house, said that they were VB onl…

Oh I have exactly the same trouble. I’m in the middle of moving back to windows

That’s pretty funny. I just bought a pixel 6a with the intent of replacing my iPhone. About an hour of “how the hell do people put up with this shit” and it’s going. Then I wake up…

It's a little more complicated than that. These models, by nature, can only produce derivative mimicry. Humans are capable of generating spontaneous concepts and employing meta-qua…

We don’t track issues in GitHub. PRs are considered disposable.

Yes: memory ceiling is huge, WinRM is buggy and unreliable, performance is "variable", totally inconsistent handling of dates and times, being .Net it's UTF-16 internally so stream…

Last month here in UK. After a package was stolen from my doorstep but the delivery driver said it was handed to receptionist. We don't have a receptionist, or a reception! I'm a "…

I much prefer this approach as you only have to parse stuff once during the processing pipeline rather than at every step. Unfortunately after working with it for a few years I utt…
