The 5 cm example had a line break between the 5 and the cm when I read the page in my phone. A joke?

Sorry for all the nasty replies here. You do you! I’m a car & bike guy so I’m glad you got a cool car and modded it as you like. I’m hoping for an old 900ss or monster for my delayed mid life crisis purchase but money isn’t there.

I agree but I think the problem will be if the consequences are that dire then entire classes of business will cease to exist OR the cost of doing things properly will be passed on to the consumer. I struggle to see how data brokers, social

It's a nice thought but think of the cost! You do have to wonder what the hell the people in charge of the Windows UI are thinking. They seem to have got it so badly wrong. But so has Apple in macos.

Don't kwow why you're getting downvoted, seems like a reasonable comment to me. I agree, JavaScript and all it has enabled is a curse. If one wanted the good bits of JavaScript I'm sure there are languages they were copied fr

Still not feeling any sympathy. These people are actively working to make society worse.

I had a job in the early 90s where another team were using Wang 2200s which I'm sure were coded with line-numbered BASIC. Could be one of those with the everlasting ERP type software running on an emulator.

I think Fusion360 is one of the worst things I've seen. It presents as local but it feels like every mouse click causes a web request to happen. Something that should be local and snappy is just an awful experience.

Such a weird and absurd conversation to be having from the PoV of someone who started using computers a long time ago. Offline first apps 'sound like the future'? I agree they're far better than the trash we have now, but it&

I saw this yesterday. I was asking it to update an SQL query and it was saying, 'I did this' and then that wasn't in the query. I even saw it put something in the query and then remove it, and then say 'here it is'.

I used stty to make interrupt ktrl-k, then configured the terminal app to make copy/paste ctrl-c/ctrl-v. I use copy/paste more than I use interrupt. I hated MacOS keyboard shortcuts at first, but cmd-c/cmd-v do work arou

Agree to both points. The UI part of macOS is trash, and there are a few times I'd like to have kept a window on top but couldn't despite the random updaters and reminders doing it without asking.

I get various app update dialogs opening up and stealing focus. Fusion360 is pretty bad when you open it - it takes forever too. Focus stealing happens quite a lot on macOS.

The problem (as far as I can tell) is that for Windows and MacOS you can't install the docker daemon etc without installing Desktop. I have a Mac for work and containers are a pain. I've tried Podman, UTM, colima, Docker Desktop e

It can still be a bug if you use something after you would have freed it because your code isn't meant to be using that object any more. It points to errors in the logic.

I am working on a system at present where the data scientist has done the calculations in an R script. We agreed upon an input data.frame and an output csv as our 'interface'. I added the SQL query to the top of the R script to ge

I think one difference in these big pieces of software and the older systems is that the old systems ran on bespoke hardware and only one platform where as UNIX & Windows must support a lot of different hardware. That's not to say

I started with Java 1.0 and thought it was great. I still do, although I haven't used it since 2020. The only thing I don't like is how there is no built-in JSON package which seems like a necessity these days. Removing the public

Python seems to have started with 'why do those other languages have all this trash' and then spent the time since then learning why and coming up with worse versions. I use python a lot these days, and like it, but it's pret

I can imagine the effort of open source Windows would be prohibitive. Having to go through every source file to ensure there is nothing to cause offense in there; there may be licensed things they'd have to remove; optionally make it b

I agree, other than the part where he worked at a steel mill. But that was only 5 months. Glass clearly had a can-do attitude that not many of us possess. And yes, supporting a family on a single income these days is difficult (I do it), an

I mentioned this to my wife a few weeks ago. I rarely look at myself for long in the mirror but spending an hour at a time in a video call where you see your own face can get to you (me). I don't know why there isn't an option to
