A lot of people think of static types as a safety feature, but the origin is performance. The assembly needs to know struct sizes ahead of time.

Social factors mentioned there can make a big difference. I've seen plenty of C code choose safety over efficiency. Our team writes a lot of C++ code for high-level stuff you'd normally do in say JS or Python. At the rate we make

That's still on the Linux kernel. The userspace differences aren't what make it possible to lock down. Someone could just as easily make a locked down desktop Linux, which maybe ChromeOS is already.

Sure, I'm not saying the EV is infeasible, just that the "full tank every morning" part is only for homeowners. That's what the 99% footnote was on.

I don't need a pickup truck, but if I ever did, I'd get whatever my landscaper has. Unlike most people with Rivians, Lightnings, Cybertrucks, Ridgelines, and Raptors, he totally relies on that truck for work. So far it's Taco

I meant if the oil industry were so powerful, EVs would have started somewhere else first. Yeah starting first doesn't mean winning. I don't put much stock in any stats that China self-reports, but none of those things would surpr

It's not 99% of the time, it's for people who own single-family homes. Apartment dwellers maaaybe have EV spots but can't leave their cars there.

I wager people care way more that it simply costs a lot, and they don't like it or need it

tbh that sounds like cope, this isn't a constraint people want to add

How about GitHub stops using GPL'd code to train models? The authors weren't asking for payment, they were just asking not to reuse their code without GPL.

This is still a thing today. There have been multiple times I oneshot some project that leadership had been waiting on some team forever to finish, and 90% of it was them refusing to touch a "noob" lang like Python or JS.

I see a lot more insecurity from people who refuse to use AI coding tools. My teammates amd I use this stuff all the time, and it's not making a statement, it's just an easier path sometimes.

Email shouldn't be recovery for bank anywhere, you go to the bank for that. But TOTP is so user-hostile that I can see it causing too many recovery requests for the bank.

I didn't say that fragmentation is the only thing that makes them unusable, it's just one of many. Yeah it is a big thing though. People do have difficulty switching between Mac and Windows, but each has critical mass so it's

Fragmentation makes compatibility and help-finding more difficult. And newbies do get the expectation that the mainstream options aren't all that different, cause that's what everyone tells them.

Yeah, I used whatever the default was, Gnome or Xfce. I'll seriously try KDE next time then.

So you don't get a separate set of random video-related problems depending on which you use

The old autocorrect didn't seem any better though. I actually disabled it on both, so narrowed it down to purely a keyboard issue.

Most of these changes aren't that disruptive because they keep the fundamentals, but there are a few things Apple makes sure you never get used to like iTunes/Music or iPhone Photos. What bothers me about Linux is that realistical

I used that same MacBook until 2014. At least Snow Leopard was a gem.

It's unusable even with the "user-friendly" distros like Mint and Ubuntu. Starting with the fact that Mint and Ubuntu don't even agree on what window system to use.

Also Gnome disappeared after 2, got replaced with Unity in Ubuntu which was a whole new ugly thing, then that got replaced with Gnome3 which is very different from Gnome2, also Xorg got deprecated...

If you applied these standards of critique to Linux UIs, this post would be an entire encyclopedia, indexed by DE. I'd take even the worst modern Mac OS (Lion?) over that.

I swear Apple broke the iPhone keyboard permanently in like 2015. I don't know what it is, but I can't type reliably on any newer phone I've had, to the point where I call instead of texting. And the rare times I go back to u

It did seem like they fixed iOS slowly after 7, where they went too far with flatness.

I've been using Linux on and off for a decade+, and it's a moving target. There is one Linux kernel, they can make one Linux OS. (and ofc people can fork but it should remain niche) Meanwhile I can go on Windows after years and st
