I also like the aesthetics of OS X versions prior to 10.10. It is hard to find programs that still support older versions though. To make things easier I'm using the more modern macOS 10.14 but installed a few things to make it look mo

I'm actually typing this reply on a 2012 MacBook Pro which is still working pretty well. I've also used several recent MacBook models at work so am familiar with those. Things that I like better about the 2012 MacBook Pro compared

This depends on how the organization configures things. My company used to allow TOTP so many TOTP apps could be used instead of Microsoft Authenticator but my company disabled that a while ago. Now the only authenticator app my company all

Those lunches could add up to something significant over time. If you're paying $10 per lunch for 10 years, that's $36,500 which is pretty comparable to the cost of a car.

by JZerf 2y ago
One reason why it might be a good idea to use higher quality drives when using ZFS is because it seems like in some scenarios ZFS can result in more writes being done to the drive than when other file systems are used. This can be a problem

Gran Turismo 4 was the last Gran Turismo for the PS2. It also did support networking for LAN gameplay but networking isn't required to play the game.

Additionally, there are multiple reasons why one programming language might have nine different programs: -The programs could have been written by someone who prefers to make small iterations and perform many submissions instead of someone

You could certainly make an argument that an easier language allows a programmer to reach a certain skill level faster or maybe even reach a higher peak skill level. By extension you could also argue that, by some definitions, the skill lev

I was a little puzzled by this compared to what I was used to with Java in the past. It looks like the grandparent's code relies on JEP 445 ( https://openjdk.org/jeps/445 ) which is a preview feature as was mentio

This is one of the major reasons why I try to limit my use of websites for anything important and prefer to use normal, local applications that don't rely heavily on someone else's servers. It's a lot harder for other people

That's kind of interesting that it currently transpiles to C++. I have a suspicion though that using C++ as an intermediate language will probably often result in lower performance, higher memory usage, make debugging more complicated,

This is something I want to know too. C++ certainly has some issues like pretty much every programming language does but in the original article Andreas mentions that he wants to make a cross-platform browser and cross-platform, portable ap

I believe this relies on quite a few of the libraries in SerenityOS and according to one of the lines [1] in one of the build scripts for that it looks like Clang 13 will be required as a bare minimum. The Serenity project is also using the

I think some more effort should be made in getting the default memory usage down to a more reasonable level. This site https://programming-language-benchmarks.vercel.app/problem/h... shows a simple Hello World Julia

Thanks, I hadn't noticed that Julia was also doing compilation during the benchmarking and I'm curious if it would be hard to get those benchmarks to be done with PackageCompiler.jl. With that being said, the memory usage still se

It seems to use a lot of memory which can be unacceptable for many people and can become impractical if you plan on running several programs simultaneously. For several of the problems at https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debia

All of the reasons you gave for removing optical drives are true for consoles but I'd also like to point out that even desktop and laptop manufacturers have been removing optical drives as well. The reasons you gave largely do not appl

I'd also add that distributing an installation file that requires no activation server is also sufficient. Physical media is getting kind of dated as seen by many devices no longer even including optical drives.
