C++, the sharpest knife in the drawer.

C++ is a never ending series of complexities that lead to incredible use cases

YouTube is amazing, just stay away from content that encourages you to buy stuff. The free documentary channel is amazing (check out their Apollo series) but lately once you’ve seen all the amazing education videos (think vsauce, smarter every day, David butler) it does turn into a nervous tick constantly opening the app.

Oh Objective-C, such a weird language. If you know how to use it you are a wizard on the Mac. I think its days are numbered however, no one is extending it and Swift is coming to take over.

Also, I hate it.

Nothing beats a Sony, remotes all the same, simple hackable android based os.

Recently I made the mistake of getting a lg... nothing but problems with hdmi cec, stupid remote, lame os; wish I would’ve stuck with the Sony…

I’ve been buying Blu-ray’s.. so tired of plex messing up the simplest of encoded videos.

Was good while it lasted.

The app has this ridiculous problem of freezing every few seconds while you select your options… like come on really? It’s done this since day one!

Money for developing products on it. That's why I used it for decades anyway.

I will never trust Edge to honor ANY setting; every so often it tries to trick you into resetting all settings to default through the out of box wizard, this is totally built into the os! And even if you manage to make it through this periodic shit some windows update will go ahead and change some settings anyway so you're stuck. !

Its maddening!

Sorry Apple, but there is nothing so special about your platform that won't prevent developers from abstracting it away into a general cross platform case.

If its the 'verified by visa' thing, it is in fact optional and you can cancel out of the wizard

Great read

A metric shit-ton!

I have given up on trying to set any settings in windows, they all get reset eventually.

This would make the iPhone 13 mini pro a perfect device, too bad they didn’t support they model.

Long time windows user here, developer of cross platform applications for 30+ years.

Started getting very frustrated with the way windows treats its users. It’s simply a non starter for any serious user these days; what with the ridiculous resetting of all bing settings periodically, the non stop abuse of your login mode (live vs local), and man every time that fucking Out Of Box Experience wizard would start and interrupt your login I would nearly shit myself with annoyance.

…

Recently took a position on an all Linux dev project, totally removed windows from my life (and kids). Whole house runs Linux now.

Very happy not going back.

Bottles is the end game for wine style containers and windows games.

I’ve noticed this too, make -j and boom hard lock only option is to reboot. Really annoying l! Windows kinda deals with it but it has other issues; I have also noticed this behavior on MacOS.

I miss chrome cast.

30 year veteran here, funny enough I barely know anything about make. My first job we were building our own build utility because we had to build on windows netware, dos, Linux… soon after that it was all cmake, and I never had to use a make file for much of anything.

Only recently have I come to be kinda fond of its insanely simple syntax but really make hasn’t been a requirement to native development since as long as I’ve been around getting paid.

I love ruby too; let’s your imagination run wild!

I dig their stack; for a personal nerd setup no one else makes it so easy to deploy advanced networks.

Reeks of CEO speak; general bullshit that seems to go against all practical reasoning of the situation.

Don't fall for it.

Amen

Why the fuck should I, the end user, give two shits about whether I'm running Wayland or X.

Linux will never conquer the desktop with this shit.

Man, this may make Windows a viable option; opens start menu, tons of mass shooting news articles... yeah nevermind.

Best thing I ever did was buy my (now X) wife's engagement ring off Craigslist.

This may be the reason I eventually break my hiatus

Can they fit any more ads on that page
