I run Win11 LTSC and the OS largely just stays out of my way. In fact when I read threads like this complaining about Windows, I have to remind myself that most people aren't running LTSC.

No, this is the situation you get into when you have programmers build a system, the requirements of that system change 15 times over the course of 15 years, and then you never give those programmers time to go back and redesign, so they ke

People generally always want the artist to have control. What people don't want, as in this case, is for a corporation to have control of the artist's work, and exercise that control mercilessly, thus actually reducing the reach a

"vicious"? Temper your emotions a bit. In fact I would make a converse statement to yours - you can be certain that a product is grift, if the slightest criticism or skepticism of it is seen as a "vicious attack" and sho

A stable vector generally improves append performance (because you never have to move the data), allows storing data that can't be moved, and allows for appending while iterating. The downside is slightly worse performance for random l

I never argued that we do nothing. There are plenty of laws on the books related to internet safety, and plenty more that we could pass. What I'm specifically against is mandating ID verification.

In most languages you can express any invariant, sure, but you can't prove that the invariant is upheld unless you run the program. For example a NonNegativeInteger type in most languages would just have a constructor that raises an ex
