What exactly is the goal of the 'woke' as it pertains to race or gender? If success to them looks like an equal number of white/black/asian/women it's an unreachable goal. According to the 2020 census: 57.8% of

I'm still pissed they haven't fixed Windows Explorer's "Open with..." popup since they Metro-ified it. It used to be you could type-to-select from the list of apps...now I have to use the mouse to scroll down.

Based on your comments, you've never had the opportunity/need to do so. I have and I can attest that I would much rather remote into a powerful desktop PC to write code than use a mobile processor. Maybe the software you build an

You know what else is easier? Mandate the shot. Unvaccinated people who are eligible for the shot are creating an undue burden on society. Let's stop making it about people's freedoms and start making it an issue of public health.

As the owner of a 1st generation Threadripper I'm pretty pissed off that my 4 year old CPU is unsupported.

Care to peddle your bullshit somewhere else? There may have been no 'organized' conspiracy to overthrow the gov't, but they sure as hell were trying to illegally pressure politicians into not certifying the election.

I was pretty pissed off to discover the HBO Max Roku app is such garbage - after paying for HBO Max for a year.

Driving an F150 super crew may seem scary at first but as someone who bought one 4 years ago (first truck) coming from a CRV, I found no problems with visibility.

I currently drive a pickup - my first truck in the 25 years I’ve been driving. There’s no need for more stringent licensing - people just need to pay attention to the road and stop behaving like they’re on a formula 1 track. My soon to be 1

Have you tried VS 2022 (beta)? It's 64-bit finally. It's way faster in my experience, but I don't have a million-SLoC solution laying around to test.

Major version releases have breaking changes. I don't see the issue. I've been doing .NET development since the original version was in beta (20 years now?) For the most part I have no complaints about the docs - and hey you'

I'm not entirely sure where you get that 'feeling' from if you work on anything .NET related. If you're on the outside looking in, there's 270,000 packages listed on NuGet.org

Your assurances don't particularly mean much - no offense. A decade from now I don't want to have a codebase with a toolchain with no future.

How is anyone OK with Apple employees viewing their private pictures because their algorithm fucked up?

I turned off iCloud photos tonight. F** Apple. If there is a collision, then it gets manually reviewed by a human...so now my private pictures are on display for someone to see who I've not given permission. Just Say No.

I have an M1 MacBook Air and I love it. But it's no replacement for my Threadripper 1950X / RTX 3080 for work/gaming. x86 gives me choices. I can run Windows, Linux, etc. With M1...I'm at the mercy of Apple's clo
