Way easier to compare 28MW to 1KW.

Banks are a bunch of dicks anyway. I recently received a ToS that forced me to have all my OSs on their latest update, and never install anything that doesn’t come from official stores.

Next day all of my money was in another bank.

Some people still do. Fuck Jhon Deere.

I use KDE on my Linux machine, which means that I cannot develop anything involving the GPU.

The moment I experiment a little with the API or give it wrong parameters, not only my program crashes, but the whole system freezes and I have to manually press the “power off” button.

It does happen in windows too, however it’s 100x less unlikely.

I also had a problem not long ago that crashing my program would not free the RAM, so every time I ran the program (and it crashed), I had 2-3GiB less of RAM. So I had to restart the computer every 10 runs or so.

Operating systems are supposed to isolate programs and manage their resources. A program crashing under no circumstances should affect any other program. I don’t understand how it can happen.

Honestly, I didn’t even consider this as possible. I’m saving the post in case I’m very bored and want to do it.

Source?

And only stole most of east Germany’s infrastructure.

Any editor that support LSP has the same (or better) auto complete. All IDEs also have the same (or better) auto complete, don’t even need LSP.

I meant native as in non-web. There are plenty of cross-platform GUI toolkits out there that don’t use JavaScript. Some of them native-looking even. But more than the looks, it’s about performance.

I feel like browser support is such a niche. I don’t understand why many IDEs dedicate so many resources to make it work on the browser. There are already many options to code on the web if you need it.

Why would they copy VSCode including the aspect people hate most.

Had they made it in a native gui I might actually consider it. Otherwise, why wouldn’t I just choose vscode.

This synthetic benchmark is nice a general wisdom thing. But I’d love a more complete analysis taking into account loading from memory, caches, SIMD, CPU pipeline and all of that.

Probably when taking all those things into account (specially loading values from memory) the performance difference of a div and a mult should be negligible.

That’s easy to explain. EGS managed to make everyone hate them just as it started. How do they expect to be profitable if they piss off the entire market?

There are other stores such as GoG that have actual users.

Docs should be written for someone experienced in programming but inexperienced with the API. If it is about a niche subject (for example VR).

Whenever an explanation contains something about that niche subject, you don’t need to explain everything, but maybe provide a link towards another place (for example wikipedia) that explains it.

Untyped function definitions + *args + *kwargs + args that can be of many types + strings used as enums don’t help. The language that imo needs the most documentation is at the same time the one that lacks it the most.

You don’t need to have wired across the room. You can put them through the wall like every other cable. If the wire tubes are not full, it isn’t very complicated. I put my Ethernet wires in the wall.

Well, if a company doesn’t hire an executive because she is a woman, paint their parking lot. Don’t need to make a company that hires no executive men.

Making a women-only art gallery accomplishes nothing.

If you punish me for something I didn’t do. Then I’ll hate you. There’s nothing more to it.

If you wanna do “sexism against men because they are sexist towards women” you should at least do things that you suffer from. There are no men-only art galleries in Australia. How is this supposed to teach men “see how you feel? That’s how I feel every day”.

The definition of “operating systems” is not really clear. Some say the operating system is what is called the “kernel”. In the case of Linux operating systems, that kernel is called “Linux”. Most people, however, say that the operating system is the whole thing you install. That is, the kernel + a bunch of other apps.

For example, in windows: notepad, internet explorer (now edge), paint, and all those apps are part of the operating system, that’s what people mean when they say “windows”. It’s the whole package. Other less obvious parts are drivers for example.

In the case of Linux, most distributions ship with a bunch of GNU programs.

“Akschually people” argue that the GNU parts are as important (if not more) as Linux itself for the operating system, so they feel like all the hard work of the GNU developers is shadowed by the people that say “Linux”.

I doubt Wikimedia streams even 0.1% of what netflix does.
