I am aware. I probably should have said "inspired".
They updated the graphic to include HPV style vehicles that are more aerodynamic than bicycles (usually just a bicycle with an aero-shell). I am not sure why this has come up now because I have an old bicycle book my…
I find there are some environments where you have a positive feedback loop while working in them. PHP is one of them, Go is another at least for me. I find many of languages I am constantly fighting with dependency…
There is a huge amount of syntactic sugar that has been added over the years that doesn't do whole lot IMO. It is often imported from other languages (usually JavaScript and/or Python). e.g. Just a very simple example…
>Sure, there are a lot of people that use Linux indirectly e.g. deploy to a Linux box, use Docker or a VM. But if someone isn't running Windows, 9 times out of 10 they are running a Mac. That was my original comment. It…
I can't stand modern C#. They've bung in a bunch of new keywords and features that are of dubious benefit every release.
You are the minority but you can believe whatever you like. The vast majority of developers I have worked with (and I've contracted a lot of places) know next to next to nothing about Linux. They can barely use a…
It is easy to miss a subscription for something on a bill when it is less than £30. I had a match.com subscription I had forgotten about for about 7 years. That business model is what a lot of tech companies actually…
> I think what you want is for software developers not to write bloated code, instead of computers not getting faster. The bloated code is a result of undisciplined programming and not paying attention to users'…

I don't think there is anything wrong with liking popular things and tbh this attitude that somehow you are better because you like more niche things is very close to snobbery. I am not saying that is your intention,…
I am sure it is fine. HellDivers 2 (the game I like to play) needed a lot of messing about with to work well on Linux. It really depends on what game you are playing as to how well it works. Having the odd game that…
It isn't that much of an issue gaming on Windows. Yes, I had to do a one time workaround for a local account and run a de-crapifier. But it wasn't that difficult. If it becomes too difficult I will probably drop Windows…
> On Linux, the really old games just work, as do virtually all new games with the exception of those very few big budget new releases. It really seems like you aren't reading what I said. I accept that old games will…
I had the following problems. Note my hardware was ageing at the time and was about 5 years old. I know a quality apple specialist that did the work. - Glue'd in batteries on Laptops. I had a Mac Pro with a glue'd in…
I am a die-hard Linux guy and I have to use Windows for certain things. One of those is multiplayer games. I am never buying a Mac. I've owned 4 macs over the last 20 years and I've regretted every purchase.
Unfortunately in the past people have taken obvious hyperbole literally. I realised a few years ago when one of my friends didn't know what the browser was on her phone, that any notion of people caring about the OS…
I agree, with a caveat. The vast number of consumers don't even know Linux/BSD or any the alternatives exist. I have zero faith in a Linux smartphone. What will happen is that there will be some GNU/FSF thing with specs…
Bank apps work fine (at least UK ones) on Graphene OS installed via the play store.

It got nothing to do with someone being a developer and having tunnel vision. In fact I would argue that many people that work in tech would be the most likely to sold on such a feature. It has everything to do with…
I've hydroplaned on the motorway many times. It is a big scary but as long as you don't touch the brakes and continue straight you are ok. I've driven FWD cars in heavy snow and it isn't that bad. You just have to go…

Exactly it is about layers. It is the same with computer security. Is my network "unhackable" no. But I've put up enough layers of basic security that script kiddies and the like won't be able to get in.
