I live in Japan. Gaming, including console gaming, is extremely popular for teenagers. You have literally zero idea what you're talking about. It sounds like you've just come up with some contrarian bait to sound edgy…
Religion, children, and legacy are the ways people cope with this. For the vast, vast majority of human history, 99% of people believed either in an afterlife or reincarnation or something of the sort. Having children,…
You've repeated this baseless assertion three times now verbatim without adding any justification whatsoever for your beliefs that I think would self-evidently not survive contact with reality if you had any interaction…
What you're missing is that gaming as a whole >10x'd since the genX/millennial heyday, so consoles are actually more popular than they were 20~30 years ago even if they are a smaller portion of the overall pie…
This is hilariously incorrect and out-of-touch. Obviously phones are #1 by a huge margin, but the console market is as large as it's ever been as gaming as a whole became genuinely mainstream, and kids absolutely still…
I mean, that tells you more about the people writing Bun than it does Zig or what's "needed" for people actually writing and reading code. Bun dev is not just hiding the control flow, their goal is to hide all of the…
I am unbelievably well aware of that, given that I routinely ship such programs. That has no relevance to what I said. Compiling ahead of time does not change the fact that the .NET runtime is orders of magnitude larger…
Floats, however, are not deterministic. Every CPU can bungle floating point operations however it wants and get different results, meaning your software does something different on your users' computers than it does on…
I mean, one trade-off is obvious: you get the drawbacks of the runtime too. Any C# program is opting you into tens of MBs of binary/lib size and RAM usage for what a C program could do in <1mb. This completely rules out…
GDP per capita is possibly the most worthless, detached-from-reality statistic I've ever seen. Japan has 38% of US GDP per capita; Mississipi, the lowest state, has a significant lead. And yet day-to-day life in Japan…
Are the prejudice and jabs in the room with us? Perhaps you could excerpt the quotes of the article you found offensive?
While I think GP comment was a bit looney, the first sentence is a fairly weak counterargument. Xbox controllers especially are used specifically for familiarity purposes. The US military can and does produce…
A person's testimony is a source. I can add mine: you can tell when you're truly blocked because if you click for the accessibility audio-based captcha it will actually tell you you're blocked (but, if you did the…
Polluting the sky with junk is not "progress".
Does it matter if they did, when this measure effectively bypassed Parliament via technicalities?
Seriously. Yesterday there was a thread about a use-after-free bug in OpenBSD and despite BSD predating Rust by decades there were still people chiding the project for not using Rust (as though Rust would even protect…
The OpenBSD project was started in 1995, with ancestry going back further than that. Should they have first invented Rust? Or at what point do you suppose the decades-old codebase should have been completely rewritten?

Except you can identify problems with the configuration and correct them yourself. The 'professionals' get it wrong because they aren't optimizing for you successfully solving your problem.
