Probably all of them, but that’s only cause, unless things have changed, it takes 3 years to get said updates in the first place. I remember before I switched to iPhone I would wait and wait and wait and wait for the latest android and upda

Java is working in different constraints. Java shops don’t move at the pace of JavaScript shops. These developers are looking for an actual work/life balance. Not looking for shake shit up. So Java lambdas, being little more than synta

Yeah. In a normal work day on a brand new i7 w/ 32 gigs of ram, I would say I get frustrated by the computer not doing what I tell it to in a decent timeframe more than a few times a day. Now we’re saying “hey, let’s take a slower devi

In cities, yes. On highway travel, also yes, but it can be influenced. This effort is better spent on a carbon tax that directly funds rebates for electric vehicles and charger installations.

My properties taxable assessment value is only in the 250,000 range. So the property taxes are considered quite high. Property taxes aren’t a flat rate.

Property taxes are built in to rents and then some. My property tax is considered “extremely high” at $4500 a year. Rent for $4500 a year is like a closet, even in a cheap place.

>the stuff I use today is magic compared to the old crap I… what? Software is losing features while simultaneously becoming less usable. The only thing software does better today than yesterday is spying on you.

And what the fuck is with the wording on check boxes these days? On top of not even knowing if the sliding circle is actually on or off, half the time I cannot figure out which of on or off I actually want. Double negatives all over the pla

The blocked app shit really gets me. Installing compilers by hand is always a fight and a half.

People absolutely LOVE slow animations for general OS use. Personally, I want for what I asked to happen to actually happen when I press a button, but I am far and away the minority. What’s even worse, is that developers today have taken th

“I NEED TO SAVE SCREEN REAL ESTATE SO I CAN… CHECKS NOTES… PUT A BUTTON THAT TAKES THE ENTIRE SCREEN” Yeah. This one always gets me with the whole “moving to the title bar saves screen space”. The other thing that really grinds my gears tod

It’s not a consumer unit problem. Heated seat subscriptions are bad because by not paying for them, the heated seats are objectively costing you. You are paying for extra weight, streets are paying for extra weight, materials are extra mine

I think your wording is off, because 70% of reports bugs are not memory related. I vaguely recall that 70% of *certain classes* of reported security flaws were buffer misuses (which zig handles quite nicely in releasesafe and using slices,

I’d probably not use homebrew or macports for zig anyway, because lots of projects track master (it’s annoying when you just want to write code. Good for people testing language features in the real world usage and shutting them down if the

The idea that “compile time checks help you write better code is unanimous and absolute” is simply false. Rust itself demonstrates that compile time checks sometimes result in worse code, as many people have found especially when they need

The concept of “interfaces” in zig is a comptime pattern rather than a language construct. See std.io.SeekableStream. To check that an anytype meets the decls of SeekableStream is rudimentary. It’s funny that you say that about html, as a p

What does the bill actually say? To state that I don’t trust google here is an understatement. If google is pissed off, then my default position is that the government is probably correct. Not having all the facts, I could be coerced to a d

No silly. They just complain to the feds when it happens, and get a nice big fat day of “getting away Scott free” while tax payers foot the majority of the cleanup cost. The saying is “privatize profits, socialize losses” for a reason.

Google isn’t collecting your ethnic status to retarget ads. I mean, maybe it changes results a bit. They’re collecting ethnic status to sell to Cambridge analytica to steal elections.

And uh. Let be honest with ourselves here. Our alternative is currently android. So instead of meta slurping up all your shit, google vacuums it all up and then some, and lets even more of it trickle in to meta.

All you know at this point is that these are low cost computers, and there appears to be a target of grade school use. Chromebooks are not meant for photoshop. I don’t know what you mean by “not full computers”.
