I wish there was more of this. Exploring tech should be a delight .
I've been writing a devlog on implementing a Lua vm in handwritten WebAssembly, https://www.patreon.com/serprex it pieces together the commit log with a stream of consciousness aspect Very much admits an 'I have no idea what I'm doing' experience
Looks quite interesting project, good luck.

Qualitatively, it feels like apple’s software quality has been on a slide for several years. What attracted me to move to Mac OS in the first place some 15 years ago was the sheer quality. It was thrilling to use a computer that Just Worked, with no BSODs or the endless dependency hell that was Linux at the time. It doesn’t feel like that any more, across either OSX or iOS - it feels fragile. Things crash, behaviours…
Thank goodness that Linux is consistent and has no bugs :-) Ubuntu still doesn't let me change my IP address to a static one via the UI and video drivers still crash or result in hours of googling and reading contradicting articles on how to change xorg.conf Software has bugs. Operating systems are hard. It doesn't matter where you will go, you will most likely deal with similar issues. Whether it be Linux, Windows o…
My Ubuntu 16.04 LTS X-Windows just froze today multiple times, not even changing to virtual terminals was possible, only hard reboot.

That is right. I fill in the fields, then submit the change and nothing happens and it jumps back to DHCP. Always have to just edit the network settings manually.
Sorry, but Ubuntu and Gnome NetworkManager issues do not equate to issues with Linux. They are very distro and window manager specific.
Regular users see a full distro experience as Linux, they don't dissociate kernel and userland.

The parent has a point. She knows gender gender doesn’t matter. And the author of the article wouldn’t mind either.

#68I think High Sierra is the worst Mac OS release yet. I’m sure there’s a cognitive bias partially to blame (since it’s the most recent) but it looks like we are way past that.
The mach kernels in general are buggy, regardless of the release. e.g. I'm pretty sure they end up delivering SIGPIPE to the wrong thread in some circumstances on Sierra. There is also a problem with recvmsg not returning control messages some time. Another reason they killed OS X Server maybe.
To be fair, the whole story about signals and threads on UNIX OSes is not that clean.

This comment made me laugh. There's a bunch of charitable explanations as to why it was written, most notably "honest mistake". But there's also very uncharitable explanations! For instance, I'm sure I'm not the only one who's noticed that hard technical IT blogs written by women are disproportionally often written by women who were born men (disproportionally wrt the general population of transgender women). Just li…

It's possible to politely point out peoples' mistakes while giving them no room to purposely misgender, which is exactly what this thread does. Let's examine the course of this conversation: "He said..." "It's a she" (In my opinion a polite response. This is where any discussion s…
I only responded to the final comment. Sorry, I thought that was clear.
I agree with you for the rest. I did think stevenh's comment had a needlessly militant vibe to it, which is what I responded to. The rest of the thread lacks that vibe, which is good.

Gotcha, no hard feelings.
