Yes I have switched to using a Pi4 8GB as a desktop machine running WindowMaker and it's speedy as can be. Am using a USB3 SSD but booting from /boot on the SD card, which then loads the main system from the SSD. Can happily do C+

I remember Stroustrup also saying how much he detested Bitcoin in his keynote from a few years ago, where he says it uses as much power as Switzerland and was saddened to know it had been written in C++.

My dad still has many in his loft as my secondary school chucked them out late 90s and we took them. They were even considered old rubbish when I was in middle school; that school had 1 Archimedes that sat forlornly in the corner. I was usi

My 2012 MacBook Pro is still going strong! Use it daily. Upgraded to a 1TB SSD, 16GB RAM and I sincerely hope it'll last a few more years - still on Mojave though. I boot into Crapolina to do App Store work from a USB SSD, but will pro

I thought they were worlds apart, particularly the way you think when you write them. C# and Java are more like the pair.

What template trickery have they added in C++20 that you dislike? I thought the stuff added in C++11 was very useful for querying the type of the thing you are dealing with in a template, eg. is_same. What "real" problems do you t

Just imagine the horror those using Magento would get when they see how many queries it runs for doing anything at all!

Interestingly, they load Google Analytics with no cookie warning which seems a violation of GDPR.

Open your modbus port on your server and see how often you get hit! Then look for a list of open modbus ports on the Internet and be wowed at all the industrial machinery that is just sat on the Internet...

I forgot the "Save As" removal! I type this on a Macbook with an irritating noisy butterfly keyboard where the left shift key works 40% of the time and I get duplicate "i" inputs periodically, with a touchbar that has a

I remember following the GNOME blog for some time and finally decided I'd never go back after the article on how gEdit was being "improved" by completely hiding the menubar, the toolbar and basically any usable controls. It w

I don't know if everyone is fine with Apple making so many changes. I think it's because they have no choice, being stuck with whatever Apple decides. eg. for years you couldn't resize a window from the left edge and everybod

Yeah, none of those punk bands succeeded because they were rubbish on their instruments!! Also, Paul McCartney didn't do very well because he had rubbish lyrics like "In this world in which we live in" - how many times can yo

I think your memory is correct. I have all the old order details for CDs from 20 years ago and they've definitely got cheaper. I also have my old gig tickets from back then (I kept them despite some being a bit sweaty), and gigs have d

It still doesn't reduce the initial price/cost of the film simply because you choose to watch it only once. You still paid a reasonable price for it, and can rewatch it many many many times if you want. This isn't the same wi

I spent more than that since I have closer to 1000 albums. Never spent a penny on Spotify though. I didn't like the audio quality when I heard my friends (who strangely insisted on some amazing speaker, and then played grubby audio qua

' Those who went in with "I've heard there's some good money there" are getting disappointed' This is true, but I think it's also more of the "I hear you can make SOME money there" or "I hea

But that IS the same as movies and any other service - once it is available on iTunes does the film producer need to do any more work to make revenue? No. Once someone has written their software and hosted it somewhere, do they need to do a

Since the artist gets paid an order of magnitude less than the minimum wage, it isn't extraction of value/money from the artist - it's extortion.

This is distributed differently according to the station, and distributed according to the size of the artist I believe. I have a friend who worked out all the times he was paid on the radio over the years and sent a list off to the BBC and

This is possible but this is highlighting the music INDUSTRY, not the music HOBBY. The industry exists to make money and always has done. It doesn't exist simply for the joy of playing music, in the same way that the software industry

This is true, but a tiny proportion of people buy merchandise compared to music. You will always find the t-shirt stand easily accessible at a gig for the artist despite the thousands of people at a venue, so believing that t-shirt sales wi
