  • I don't remember any technology being pushed as hard as AI

  • 3D was mostly limited to TV and cinemas. It’s not that outlook suddenly got 3DTV functionality

  • Linux is the reason Windows apps are bloated these days

    Jump

  • The problem is that mobile versions of the app is expected, and maybe also a web version. And then it should work on Mac as well. Linux is just a tiny fraction of the market share.

    Each platform would require their own team if developed natively. That’s a huge headache to coordinate all features between the teams. Let’s build just one cross platform application which one team can be in charge over.

  • Are you a home user? Choose the home edition. Easy.

  • If you ask 10 different Linux users which distro to install, you’ll get 10 different answers. I don’t think this freedom is a bad thing, but it can be quite overwhelming for the user.

  • From personal experience, it can be overwhelming even for a seasoned Linux user.

    Knowing the difference of Debian, Fedora and Arch based distros. Should I go for Linux Mint, Bazzite or Endeavor? Should I go for a immutable system or not? What package manager is used? What’s a flatpak?

    One real example I encountered was that I was trying to install Pop OS on my new PC. Turns out after some trial and error that Pop OS uses an old Linux kernel that doesn’t support my new AMD graphics card. I ended up installing Endeavor instead, despite my not so good experience with using Arch before. Luckily Endeavor has been a great experience so far.

    With Windows there’s really only one choice for the typical home consumer.

  • This question is proof enough that Linux isn’t exactly a user friendly system. You need to be aware of many things you otherwise wouldn’t need to care about in other operating systems.

    Personally I like this freedom, but many people prefer to get something that just works without worrying about differences between distros and DEs.

  • There’s nothing I do with my home computer that warrants that AI is integrated to the OS. I browse the web. Play games. Occasionally I work on some personal projects.

    I can never see myself say ” Hey Cortana! I want to play Megabonk!”. I see much less reason for the OS to constantly record everything I do to do this.

    Please don’t shove AI down my throat.

  • Linus Torvalds on a ridiculous job performance metric at tech companies and the prominent figure responsible for it

    Jump

  • Not necessarily closures, but it involved many dynamically generated lists of lambdas passed around through many layers of abstraction.

  • How do you personally use upvotes/downvotes?

    Jump

  • Upvotes for things I like or agree with.

    A rarely downvote, but if I do it’s mostly because I think the poster is behaving badly and/or doesn’t contribute to the discussion in a good way.

  • True. However, in this case I believe this guy just had a weird admiration for complexity.

    Jump

  • In my project there has been this guy who produced more lines of code than most other. All of his code is a terribly convoluted mess no one can work with. Also buggy and slow as hell. It’s been many years since he left the company, and the negative effects are still seen today.

    Luckily we’ve been able to detach ourselves from the worst parts.
