I'd argue the mere fact that digital mosaic still exists in... well you know what I mean.

You might want to go back to that thread (or rather the few threads) when Vision Pro was released, and reread the responses from the fanboys.

Windows Home has full disk encryption and it will be on by default in Windows 11. They just don't call it BitLocker. https://www.theverge.com/2024/8/14/24220138/microsoft-bitloc...

Interesting. They actually have formal design specs all written down?

Nah, give me a freshly installed Windows 11, I can be productive and start actually working on things within five minutes. Give me any Linux distribution, not without an hour. I say this as a professional software engineer who works on a Li

"don't exist in languages that aren't built on a marsh" Sure. Last time I checked, JavaScript is the language that actually powers the web. If you can get a language that isn't built on a marsh along with all the li

Before labeling it as anti-China, maybe do a bit more research on the topic first. Anyone who's paying attention to China's surveillance programs knows this project has been running for years, and its impact is greater than what t

Imagine a Chinese dissident brags about how they haven't been thrown into jail for criticizing the President... yet.

Without actually reading the documentation or source code -- I guess "js" package is just an API that somehow maps to the real "window" object and calls those DOM methods via some sort of Proxy object.

I do think such mechanisms exist in various places. CPU intensive browser pages (e.g. running an infinite loop in JavaScript) would leave the page unresponsive, but the browser and the OS in general is still fine. You can easily close the p

The web page is able to slow down my Android phone to the point that it stops responding to power button click. If you told me this page exploits a 0-day vulnerability in Android I would have believed it. Impressive. (Android 14, Android We

Have you considered the possibility that Linux could have been even more successful if it had a more inclusive environment? I can't see how your elitist "filtering" philosophy is necessarily a good thing. And of course, my

Wow. I can only say I can't imagine such conversations take place in this way at my company (or most companies with a decent HR department) -- some people would be fired for that. But this is open source project, I don't know what

That's exactly why CoC exists in these projects. Everyone has to follow the same rules (at least supposedly). There are lots of discussions about Linus criticizing others in a very harsh, sometimes offensive way, I won't repeat th

Cost is not just salary. To begin with, health insurance and other benefits. And they'll need dev environments, they may need additional cloud resources depending on how the project goes, and there will be additional overhead when the

You don't say that 2020-2022 proves that remote work definitely is ok for a lot of people and they want it to stay that way. And recently there have been multiple reports showing that more flexible working options help lowering attribu

Whenever I see an article with more than a few sentences that seem to be arbitrarily bolded, I know it isn't worth reading. Haven't had a failed case so far.
