Nah, its not rose tinted glasses. Win2000/Win2003 were amazing. I still run Win2003 because it just workz. GUI is great, it snappy, I have all the tools to tinker here and there.. Leaked SRC code helps tiny bit ;) Win7 wasnt that bad,

Hmm I wonder how stable it is.. It cannot render correctly Window control buttons (Minimize, Maximize, Close). If it fails on such basic task, I wonder where it crashes...

It works exacly as it was designed to work.. GIT as VCS.. Version Control System.. for text code sniplets. It can handle small binary blobs just fine. If you need (D)VFS aka Distributed Versioned Filesystem, grab right tool. Or write one. T

This and great backward compatibility. I still can make app targeting Win2000 and it will run on Win2000 onwards (Win10 and Win11 included.) Unfortunately, its starts to fall apart...

Exacly. Git supposed to be DVCS not generic DVFS. Choose right tool for right task. I needed generic DVFS to store my docs, so I wrote one. Its easy and quick and does it job :)

Because ML and LLM (Not the fucking AI, it doesnt exist yet) should be used to deal with bulk boring stuff. Filter milions of images to leave interesting. Transform some data (but IM not sure why LLM is interesting here, I can write a scrip

Whats the problem? 1997? They were probably using 10BaseTX network, its 10Mbit... Using Novel Netware would allow you to trasnfer data at 1MB/s.. quake.exe is < 0.5MB.. so trasnfer will take around 1 sec..

I think you were using some 3th party software for auto completion. There was project called Visual Assist with was pretty popular and powerfull tool.

I dont know the indented use. If you need delay or difference, 16bit is more than enough. If you writting generic clock w/ ms accuracy, it will be not enough. You either split it or use larger storage. Its not rocket science...

Like fucking what? If you do any TS.. you just use unsigned whatever fastest type you have on targeting platform, and you do NOT care. 16bit? wrapping at 1 min? Thats eternity even on 2MHz 6502... You just count and substract to get differe

And why you think all the big boys push for ML, LLM, AI? To cut off the middle class. Once stuff will work automagicaly, they can squish even more profits while not caring about middle class at all. They will just ask automatas to do things

Uh, can you provide any scientific papers that H2 can be used for Iron smelting? CO2 is very stable, even at high temperatures. Its hard to strip O2 from it (except photosintesis). Now, H2 itself is very violatile gas. When burn, it creates
