Photons? They cannot be stopped, because they have no "static" mass? As far as they move, they react to gravity, not sure if they can provide its own gravity field. Might be a case as far as they move. Not expert here :)

For large blackholes of course. And this actually makes other interesting property. Our universe is in fact giant blackhole with our own event horizon outside it. This also support cyclic big bang theory. Once entire universe will collapse to singularity, the smallest possible particles shatters, leaving pure energy. Pure energy doesnt have "static" mass so no gravity => kaboom, we have new iteration. Theory of multiverse (multiple black holes aka universes) is out of scope here because we will never be able to escape ours.

You cant be objective on those things too much. Win10 just looks like shit, and its slow. But if someone never used anything better, he will say its okey. Or if all he does on computer is consume media, he doesnt need anything better really. I am heavy CLI oriented, I also like lean and clean solutions and Windows Classic its just best there. I cant find anything that pisses me off, really.

You say scaling? My reply is: go ahead and buy 8k monitor to make things even smaller and play with scaling.. I run 1280x960 resulution so pixel size is sane and everything looks great and readable.

You run 50 apps that you never closes? It seems its personal again, I try to close not used app as soon as its not needed. Running it again is no big deal. If I need to run a lot, I have 4 virtual desktops to group tasks correctly. No issues. But again, you cannot be objective on those things, because its personal. We can align at best if we work in similar way, thats all.

Can you tell me more? What are you doing that good old classic windows would be barely usable? Im really curious, because I was using corporate Win10 and hell, it was really driving me crazy. Good that there is Cygwin, so I could move most stuff there. Classic Windows just works, and if you care, you can even customize it.

Im still running Win2003 here, hence classic GUI (Win2000 like). Works like a charm :) I do some hacking (programing, reverse engineering) and playing games (old of course) on it.

Yeah, that was amazing. And so, I learned how to provide LILO + agetty on COM1 on every server I was admining :) So, unless there was HW fault, I could just connect to server via serial to check things out.

Yeah right, like I want to take over the shit broccoli haired nephews created... Even for 3x paycheck.. The one who takes it is a looser, being exploited for pennies to fix all the shit. And I bet at the end, you will be fired anyway, because you are not of their kind..

Winners are managers (who hired nephews) and nephews themselfs, they did barely any usefull job and got paid a lot. They should do usefull job instead, like drivers, warehouse jobs, services, farming and other less paid but very importand and usefull jobs.

Cost of keeping all data (up to +100%). If they dont change, no point of really versioning them. Backup of those is simple either, whatever syncing software (incremental).

Docs that often change, its completly different story. I love VCS like features where I can slam 'dot status' to see whats going on, commit when I feel I need snapshot, sync to whatever device I want. And because I run DVFS I dont even bother with backups because I have multiple copies of repo with entire history.

Damn, im must be very bad then: 210 lines @ src/webirc.rb Skeletal test, just to move data from/into websocket. Nothing more...

Anyway, yes, doable. But compared to HTTP1/1 request or just TCP socket, way more complicated. That was unexpected.
