This doesn’t affect me, but it certainly influences me. I’ve been holding off from leaving Gmail for years. They try to force you into their Gmail app on iOS, it’s the only way to get push emails from them. OK fine. So I switch from Apple M

That’s a strange comparison. What we’re looking at here when we look at Apple is the market leader. They have the plurality of sales. You may as well add up the sales of every car company that isn’t Toyota and declare Toyota being out sold.

Apple has low volume sales? You might have picked the wrong company for that example. Nvidia in the consumer market might fit, I would agree there.

People say using it is lazy but you're not going to outperform it yourself. The resistance to reality by people is what's crazy. Being a developer now means being a code reviewer. That's just the way it is now. My career was

I used Firefox for 20 years, loved it, defended it. But they just kept removing features that I was used to, and I ran into some bugs with popular websites and decided to hang it up. Currently on Brave and fully convinced it's the new

>Claiming it's about immigration law enforcement is just the same disingenuous smokescreen That’s not a claim. It’s the truth. You guys are totally lost.

You probably don't have to tell me anything, because I'd be right and you'd be wrong. "Wanting" immigration laws to be "less strict" (mass illegal immigration in the tens of millions, sensible) != breaking

I’m not sure how well Wing Commander would have run on that machine. It had to have been borderline, slow or choppy. I played Wing Commander on a 386. That’s also a combination that I don’t remember too many people having. A Sound Blaster a

Looks good, I had a C128 but played The Secret of Monkey Island around its release but didn't know there was an EGA version. It looks like the two were released apart by just a few months. Definitely in this era the C64 hardware held u

That's where I'm at, it's about time to replace my 12 mini and it's looking like it's time to go back to Android. It was form factor (iPhone 5) that moved me to the iPhone to begin with. That and back then, iOS had

That's interesting. I knew foldables have been selling well, and I assumed they were basically the promise that tablets were trying to sell but as you said- usable this time. I've never heard anyone's actual story laid out li

And they were running on such a shoestring deployment that N++ was hacked by the Chinese last year. I'd stick with VS Code.

Wow, talk about projecting.

I said more of substance here than you for sure. At least I had a point. You’re just attacking the messenger. Totally useless.

by BuckRogers 8mo ago
Who here has said anything of substance in response to anything I've said? Not you. You're not countering anything I said, offering no new information, not even offering a counterpoint to anything. Just pure ad hominins. Yes, it&#

Pathetic. You guys really don’t have anything to say, do you. Pure feelings, pure emotions.

You really do not add much value to any conversation you're a part of. The reading comprehension just isn't there. It remains true, my views are gained from submission to my faith. I recognize they're not my views. It's

It's not that hard. I can prove I'm not here illegally in under 30 seconds. I have my passport digital ID and my state driver's license (Real ID) in my Apple Wallet. I also have my passport and Real ID in my house. I know my

Very disingenuous answer. That's not what I was responding to. I was responding to this- There are a lot of aspects to being happy, and having to not want for things certainly helps. I would give you a better answer here but it appea

Looking both ways is letting fear dictate your life, at least enough that it changes your behavior in major ways. Fear is an important component of staying alive. Fear not dictating your life means not looking and expecting everyone to stop

Also giving off some Pet Sematary Part Two vibes.

You should. And you do too. Otherwise, you would’ve never looked both ways before crossing the street, and you would already be dead.

But you can do that without any money.

With AI, I am a 10X developer now. At minimum. I use it for my C# and JavaScript day job. Copilot in VS. I work on a code base that is easily over 1 million lines. It has had dozens of developers work on it over the last 15 to 20 years. Try

The Adguard extension on Edge works really well. It replaced UBlock Origin for me. They actually try to push the limits of mv3 with workarounds. Which uBO refuses to do out of some sort of principle, hence the lite version. I do still use u

I exclusively used Firefox for 20 years. I moved over to Edge and haven't looked back. Mozilla and the people still using it seem to think maintaining your own rendering engine with Gecko is somehow keeping the internet free. Wrong abs

The comments here amuse me because there's a strong scent of resentment towards people using AI, along with people who copied from SO. I am a mid level developer that started using AI about 4 months ago, and view it as justice against

I agree with the author that in the era of AI generated code and dev burnout that languages like Ruby will maintain the joy of programming. But programming is increasingly going to become like picking seeds from cotton yourself, instead of

I appreciate you sharing that article—I've read it, and while it makes some strong accusations, I think it fundamentally misrepresents DHH's points and slaps on the "racist" label way too liberally, which is a common tac

I just looked up his political views. Because I never cared about them before, to say the least. He's right wing in general which for half of us, probably the majority at this point but we're just less vocal about it, is a good th
