Ask a C#/.NET and he'll tell you 90% of the developers he knows use Windows laptops (the real Visual Studio works only under Windows). There are more than 10M professional .NET developers out there.

As everyone else you're living in a bubble. In your bubble people probably do hate Windows. Given HN origin in the Silicon Valley - where macOS and Linux are very popular - probably the majority of HN users also hate Windows. But that

Only two 8pin power connectors, compared to four needed for RTX 4080 and 4090. The XTX will probably compete with the RTX 4080 12GB - whatever the new name.

This would've not impacted you, if you did move - they stop offering the feature to new customers, but will keep it working for existing users. I've had a couple of free emails with custom domains setup probably 15 years ago (Micr

We live in truly amazing times. In a few years NASA may succeed in sending probes from Mars to Earth and we may get evidence for past or current life on Mars. In 10 or 15 years if Starship works out we may be able to send scientists to Mars

A slightly off-topic question: many modern motherboard have a function to flash a BIOS even without CPU present (e.g. Gigabyte markets it as Q-Flash). Any idea how does that technically work? Do they put a separate CPU on the motherboard?

"a six-pin connector with two pins you hold on the side to turn it into an 8-pin connector" No, most modern PSUs come with solid 8 pin connectors (as well as 6+2 pin connectors that you mention). If you watch the YouTube PC buildi

If you'd read the thread, you'll find out that the poster's character is a part of the discussion (as he claims his character has nothing to do with his lack of success on dating sites).

Let me give you an example. If you're a flat earther and you speak to another flat earther you may understand each other very clearly. But to someone outside of your bubble what you say may sound like gibberish. If you share this guy w

Why is it not possible? In a society where multi marriages are not allowed there's a woman for every man.

Your theory makes no sense. First you obviously mean the top 0.1% of men. Second the top 0.1% of men can't date more than a few percent of the women. Much more likely you don't put enough effort into your profile or you have somet
