I appreciate you taking the time to explain it to me. I think I'm just a little fed up about the whole concept since a lot of series are just like this. Making fun of stupid people is an honest thing I guess, but mostly it just seems k

I don't really think it's funny when people are presented with choices, they always pick the wrong one. Maybe it's an American thing.

I lasted maybe 5 minute into this one before I realised it was just another stupid show inventing stupid problems and having stupid people react to them in stupid ways.

It isn't really that complicated. Eric is an ass and that's how we ended up in this mess to begin with.

Complaining about Microsoft's lack of quality control is like complaining the strip club has poor lighting for reading.

This is an easy one. The smarter you are, the more you understand all the shit that is going on. Would you rather be dumb and happy instead of seeing all the shit? Nope. The smartest of us are not having a good time.

It was most likely in the specs from the beginning. You can't have busses roaming around with no way to turn them off remotely.

I wasn't aware of that, thanks. But still, if you go buy a car right now, I doubt they are going to make it a sales pitch that you are not the only one who can control your car.

This is just stupid. All modern vehicles har been fully remote controllable for years.

This is all temporary. In a not too distant future, people will just get the AI to simulate whatever application they want directly - skipping that annoying programming stage altogether :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGi

Nothing compares to the constant switching between feeling like the stupidest person on planet earth, to feeling like the smartest one.

I love my mac and I hate everything Microsoft, but just as Xcode may be the worst piece of software coming out of Apple, Visual Studio (no, not VSCode) may be the greatest piece of software coming out of Microsoft. It is an amazing piece of

I still use both Midnight Commander and Total Commander daily. Those are hard habits to kick :D For macOS, I use Forklift.

I'm not criticising Minkowski, I'm criticising the author of the article. He starts out by talking about one dimensional lines, then suddenly jumps to curves as if they could be mistaken for the same thing. And in my humble opinio

Why the downvotes? This is the correct answer to the first question raised: "...how many dimensions does a line have?". You can track a point to create a line, you can shift the line to make a plane, you can move the plane to crea

A line has one dimension, and one only. It couldn't care less about whatever you do to it in higher dimensions. That's their problem.

I think it was more about it not being worth the money. REBOL was clever and all, but when you do compete with free stuff, you can't just set whatever price you like - it has to make sense for the customer.

As I remember it; it was free for personal use, but if you were to use it commercially, you had to pay a license cost. There also was a server version which could set you back thousands of dollars. If you wanted to export the REBOL API whic

I remember being really impressed by REBOL, I thought it was a really cool language and I did make some small tools with it. To bad greed ruined it for everybody.

I love reading comments like this because it just makes me feel good about my life choices. You are aware that things like your bank and insurance all run on COBOL, right?

I love Audio Hijack, and I do use Loopback and SoundSource as well. Windows users love to complain about the fact that we have to pay for this stuff, but forget to mention that no amount of money can give you half of the same functionality

Some say that if FitBit hadn't bought them, the Kickstarter supporters that still hadn't received their devices, wouldn't gotten their money refunded from Pebble. If this is true or not, I have no idea.

They did. Google bought FitBit in 2019 and released the source code to PebbleOS in 2025.

I too was part of the initial Kickstarter and I had both the first and the second version. When FitBit bought Pebble in 2016, some may argue that this was a good thing, the development of the watch and the OS just stopped - it was dead. Fit
