See and experience are highly different. Some things in life require experience. This is one of them. They haven't had that life experience, yet.

> it definitely matters as to how old they are, and how much they've done.

No, it doesn't. Either the tool is good/useful or it isn't. Everything about this tool is AI slop, from the website to the utility itself.

I'd have to ask, what would a 16 year old know about the "humiliation ritual" of job hunting? They have near-zero non-school responsibilities, near-zero if not zero creditors, no mortgage, no CC, if a car payment/car insurance exists, parents are on the hook, etc. Getting a McJob is great for the experience, but unimportant in the grand scheme of what is actually required of them or the pressures of 'real life', not to diminish the importance of schooling.

And do we really care what a developer is, be it age, previous non-tech job experience, or any other metric? It almost seems like an Internet meme at this point.

Seems like the first part of that law would be struck down on First Amendment challenges.

Second would be technically impossible, or the responsibility of VPN providers to somehow forward geo-location information for website operators to consume.

I think you strung together a bunch of words that don't jive with real world experiences.

Windows 7 still had some fundamental kernel quality issues. WDDM 1.1 wasn't mature to the point of providing a stable experience across the board and vendors were still adapting to the WDDM model; kernel mode printer drivers were still common, both a stability and security knock for those older versions of Windows.

So no, Windows 7 did not have "all of the stability" of Windows 10 or 11.

It's because iTerm2 incorporates AI in it, amirite? ;-)

Along with this, which is how nearly every major piece of software works today, removing telemetry likely wouldn't have a measurable impact on performance or memory usage. Those aren't heavy subsystems.

Peak in what way?

Windows 2000 had sequential service startup. It took /ages/ to boot. The boot screen was pretty, though.

XP was a security nightmare and out the gate was BSOD city, much of that thanks to 3rd party drivers, but the OS had fundamental kernel bugs, too.

7 was okay, but it isn't something you'd want to go back to with modern hardware. It lacks many features we find essential. TRIM being a big one. I'd argue that the Windows 7 iconography wasn't very nice.

I'm more of a fan of NT4 for it's utilitarian look, though service management was no where near as nice as what the MMC brought.

From a stability perspective, it really wasn't until Windows 8/10 where we got to the "PEAK" Windows versions, where stability was not an issue at the OS level with Microsoft-shipped code, but rather at a driver or hardware level. No longer were we seeing some fundamental kernel bug halting the system, instead it shifted over to garbage 3rd party drivers (largely fixed thanks to Windows' unique ability to restart the graphical subsystem/removal of kernel mode print drivers) or failing hardware. You won't find that level of stability in Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows 7.

This is just weird behavior for HN. I suggest you re-evaluate how you participate in conversations, here.
