It just doesn't matter that much for the average consumer. Most office workers (that is, not silicon valley programmers) work on 1920x1080 and that's fine. There really is not much to gain by doubling or tripling the resolution. I

Easy: because TypeScript or Python are way easier to learn than C. Learning C is a long, arduous, uphill battle against arcane error messages and undefined behaviour. Unless you have a background in C/C++ already, most people can proba

Cutting out WhatsApp and losing connection with half of your family, vs cutting Twitter/Tiktok/Instagram and losing connection with random people on the internet. In my opinion, that's the wrong way around. I specifically hav

Hey Tozen, are you alright? It might be good for you to take a step back and relax a bit. I have been nothing but civil and open-minded, I have not smeared vlang in any way, I have merely been asking questions as an outside observer. You, o

All I can say is, I'm not that poster. The names being similar is a coincidence. This being mostly an anonymous forum however, I don't have anything to prove it to you. Maybe my post history can serve as a small argument, although

The difference is: If you ban cigarettes your population will revolt and you will lose votes. If you ban trans-fats, only health-aficionados will think "good", and the rest of the population will think "what fats"?

I find that very shortsighted. Unless you're working on your own pet project, programming is like 20% of the job. The other 80% are designing, communicating, and collaborating. You will not ship complex business software by just "
