There are transactions happening all the time in regular cash for weapons, drugs etc. Large banks have been found to be knowingly processing funds from terrorists, drugs dealers and have got fines. If you anti-war, you would also include th

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 own a Land Rove

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 doing an

Argh yes the "Works for me" argument. I suppose my mother was lying when she was complaining about it then? I will take her word for it rather than random internet user. So not it isn't patently untrue. I really dislike it wh

I was being hyperbolic throughout the entire post. Every-time you have a conversation around older stuff being better than newer stuff (some of this is due to regulation), you will have someone say their boutique item that costs hundreds of

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 to scan some CDK.OUT

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.

I literally had a new toilet put in a couple of years ago. It clogs pretty easily. So you just end up flushing it more, so you don't actually save any water. BTW the same thing happened with vacuum cleaners, you need to hover more to g

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 were allowed to try

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 trash and JavaScript bein

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 (super expensive). Co

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 last literally last 1

You and many others (reading through the comments) are pretending that an information leak is on the same scale and severity as major safety concerns people may have about the safety of physical structure. It is obviously asinine comparison

You aren't thinking through the broader implications. Will I need a license if Flappy Bird has a online function for uploading high scores to a leader table stored online somewhere? Will I need a license to put a PR on Github?

by CelestialMystic 1y ago
You haven't thought thought this through. What happens with open source? I need a license to make a PR on github. It will also push all software engineering to places where there isn't a license requirement or onto the darknet.
