It is waste if you could do the same thing without a full chrome instance. Because then that memory could be used for something entirely else, like the silly chrome instance required by some other electron based app…

Not quite sure where you’re going with the religion vs philosophy question, in the context of my statements the only real difference would be removing any threat of divine intervention, which itself may have some effect on the how well grou

Nah, if religious belief helps group cohesion in such a way that we get societies that overall increase the likelihood of survival, then the truth of said religion is irrelevant. Religions themselves are to some degree affected by their own

You’re reading it the wrong way around I think. Think in terms of cross platform applications that try to fit in on their host application, except they aren’t using the native widgets, similar to what Qt did historically. Then you have some

Well, problem is that being an outlier isn’t necessarily good for privacy reasons. With a tad more paranoia, why couldn’t stores flag any cash transaction, and combine it with stuff like the current list of parked cars (generally parking is

Cash is available, but very very rare these days. Enough so that using it is an outlier for most people < 60. Debit, or mobile payments are the norm, to the point that even kids having a cookie stand will expect mobile payment.

The technical support yes, but the install base of NeXT users were fairly negligible comparatively. The real trick was in transitioning the user base in a fairly smooth fashion, and then doing that twice more in the following decades.

iTunes was awesome back when the fanciest thing it could do was audiobooks, and nobody had heard about podcasts. I know quite a few Windows users (that did not own iPods) that converted to using iTunes to manage their music library. The alt

But all you’re saying boils down to the best practices being questionable, not that actually formalizing them into a proper craftsmanship wouldn’t make sense if we actually made better best practices. You may talk about gatekeeping all day,

I assume they meant the opposite of tall, I.e vertical size. And there I must agree, the ultra wide screens come of as very… wide.

Not sure if you’re already trying to make a joke, but there’s a word for that, isn’t there? Negligence. Doesn’t help your local restaurant if they didn’t get the memo about the poisonous scallops, particularly if there existed a regular sca

That only makes sense for FOSS, where part of the deal is that the software is provided for free, but with no guarantees about fitness for purpose. Would you except restaurant-goers to be liable if they get poisoned? Now compare that to pic

No, boredom should very much NOT be avoided, it is essential, even for grown ups. Constant stimulation is a net negative.

No need for being nasty about it, the comment flags clear things about cognitive load of choices, and you hand waive these away. Yet, actively choosing to not take these choices is a valid choice that may free up energy for other activities

Except that very verbosity may make it easier to read, as the types themselves may supply further information to the reader about what the variable actually means.

I’m in the same camp, often staging is easier to handle with a GUI, particularly if you want a partial staging. But then again, there is always git add -p
