I didn't really know what that second sentence meant tbh. Specifically with C# reflection will cause the app have a big affect on startup time. I have seen this with almost all the versions of .NET.
It depends how the application is written in C#. A lot of Modern C# relies on IoC frameworks. These do some reflection shenanigans and this has a performance impact.

Not to me it isn't. I think you are trying to justify the fact that you paid far too much for a vacuum cleaner, like most people do when they buy overpriced item and point out the obvious problems with their products. I…

You basically have no control over it. I don't mind it doing a virus scan but could it do it out of hours. People wonder why I don't run Windows outside of gaming and it because I don't really know what the system is…

This is exactly it. My Debian Install on older hardware than my work machine is relatively snappy. The real killer is the Windows Defender Scans once a week. 20-30% CPU usage for the entire morning because it is trying…
Every Wednesday my PC becomes so slow it is barely usable. It is the Windows Defender scans. I tried doing a hack to put it on a lower priority but my hands are tied by IT.

Thanks. I think it is very easy for people to focus on a lot of the negatives about the tech over the last 25 years and demand regulation, without recognising the huge amount of innovation that took place because people…
I know. I suggest you read the Q&A I posted.
There was a Q&A with the author of Tmux. He was complaining about the lack of documentation ~16 years ago. https://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20090712190402
You are using a relatively high end computer and mobile device. Go and find a cheap laptop x86 and try doing the same. It will be extremely painful. Most of this is due to a combination of Windows 11 being absolute…

Farming isn't comparable and doesn't have the same needs. You already admitted that the use case presented have been largely taken up by other types of vehicles. There isn't really a market for this.
The need to switch between the examples given is niche (I deliberately chose something I thought was ridiculous to illustrate the point), in a niche market. This is probably why this design didn't last long.
I've found the exact opposite when looking at this in the past. The last time I bothered looking there are sturmey archer designs which have an odd slop in the pedalling, shimano designs (which are ok) and Rohloff…
The issue with this design is the front 3 geared hub. It says it would reduce maintenance needs. The derailleur and chain are often cheaper and require very little maintenance other than oiling and maybe cleaning. They…
