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…
`var` doesn't have weird scoping issues, it just different than other languages. `var` is function scoped, thus all var declarations are hoisted to the top of the function during execution. This is why the single var…

The issue is that I dislike the overall mentality of just adding a bunch of language features. Things just seem to be dumped in each release and I think to myself "When I am going to use that?". > Would you say that…
I use it to generate me example code e.g. how do I do <thing> in <programming language> using <library>. I've also had it suggest solutions e.g. "This C++/OpenGL code doesn't run in wayland can you suggest some…
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.
> It's funny how functional programming is slowly becoming the best practice for modern code (pure functions, no side-effects), I once mentioned both these concepts to a room of C# developers. Two of them were senior to…
I never said that nobody uses Linux. I said that it was extremely uncommon even amongst developers.
The way you are using irresponsible is perverse. e.g. Being Irresponsible in this context would be remortgaging your house, while unemployed and using all the money to buy gadgets. Forgetting that you have a small…
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 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…

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…
The big budget games are often the ones that people are playing. Sure there have been a few big flops as of late, but a huge number of people are playing that require kernel level anti-cheat and DRM that does not work…
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.
