I stopped reading when the author claimed that Bitcoin failed. If you think a virtual coin that has reached 1T market cap recently has failed I don't know what to tell you. Your definition of "failing" or "don't wor

Is it just me or some people are starting to lose their mind over Bitcoin and crypto? The visceral hate it is getting seems out of place, and the arguments are getting more desperate (now we should ban crypto?) Don't know if that'

If they haven't noticed by now, they'll notice soon that even minor updates like 12.2.2 takes 40+ minutes to install, no matter the download size difference.

All earplugs or headphones, whatever they are in-ear or not, can give tinnitus. You're blasting loud sounds directly to your ear. I don't understand why this is on the front page.

Slightly off-topic but I remember when system updates on Macs were handled much better than for example Windows. I think that's no longer the case: you can't download standalone updates (the .pkg) anymore, and installing them feel

I find it amusing how some Linux users completely ignore the myriad of problems users can find when using Linux on the desktop, from hardware incompatibilities to a much poorer experience in daily tasks (lack of commercial software like Ado

If you mean cut text and so on, it doesn't match because they're not the same thing. When editing a text document, if you cut some part, it actually goes away. If you saved the document at that point, that selection would be gone.

>the existing convention It is the existing convention, the Mac Finder convention. And yes, it's effectively the same as cut and paste.

Cut-and-paste on Finder works perfectly fine too. It's Cmd-C and then Option-Cmd-V on the destination instead of Cmd-V. Alternatively hold Option when opening the Edit menu.

They explicitly mention the delay is about the Day 0 patch, though, literally the sentence after the one you posted.

Snow Leopard didn't stop working after they introduced Lion. In fact it received security updates long after that, and programs like Chrome supported it for a very long time.

All modern languages tend to suffer from feature bloat - there's this obsession of covering every single edge use case, every possible paradigm. C#, Swift, Rust, Python, even C++, all are in this competition dynamic where they want to

That's the user space code. It still depends on the Windows drivers to do the work.

by carlosrg 7y ago
Totally agree with you. In fact feature and syntax bloat seems common is most popular languages today, like Javascript, C#, Python or even C++, as they keep adding things to compete with new languages like Rust or Swift (and these languages

Are you really comparing a movement to secede from a militaristic communist dictatorship with no freedom of speech with a movement to secede from a EU member state with a full democracy? Which freedoms are these "freedom fighters"

You can probably do something similar in Windows moving the profile directory to a RAM disk.

Yes, I think the key point is to know yourself, do what you truly like at leisure time, and never put yourself on pressure outside of work (for example, thinking not coding at home will make you a worse programmer, or that you're missi

I'm willing to pay that 40% for the only decent desktop OS out there.
