Yeah they are an absolutely fantastic read. Computer Shopper meets James Bond meets Cthulhu.

Well I guess everyone should migrate their open source projects off github. Any day now...

Your rubicon is about 5 years out of date. VS Code and Rider are excellent tooling for .Net on or off Windows OS.

While I agree that this type of online content is questionable for the reasons said in this thread, the 'dehumanized' moniker is clearly sensational. No-one in that video has been dehumanized. This is rhetoric and nothing more. A person received an unsolicited gift and was filmed. If it was in a location where there is need of consent to be filmed by another party she can file a lawsuit. If it was in a location that doesn't require consent then them is the breaks and viewers of the video can make the conclusions of motives and ENDS for themselves.

Being a free speech absolutist has nothing to do with consequences from invoking your free speech. Everyone wanting free speech despite what type of speech that they legally allow is the price we pay to have it. Invoking it and using ignorant, racist or hatefull language doesn't mean you won't pay a social price for it. It just means we won't throw you in jail using the state for it. But you may just lose your jobs. Thems' the breaks.

As said in other comments, not a power thing. Example, the Nintendo Wii U chose to use 3 1.2ghz (iirc) Out of Order execution cpu's that were more like a PC than the cores in the Xbox 360 even though sounding similar in instruction set and composition.

This lead the Wii U to be able to do things like Run Mass Effect 3 and Deus Ex better (arguably) than the PS3 and 360 most of the time. The Wii U was probably the better hardware platform in hindsight but it came too late and the development tools were not as robust so ports just kinda afterthoughts.

If Twitter wanted to solve the problem they would have. Simple as that. Elon is the one who is putting his money where his mouth is to get the company to tackle the issues plaguing the company.

Windows default went over to UTF-8 from UTF-16 a few years back so its probably alignment with them especially with MS now rolling their own linux and java.

You are not entitled to play games or buy platforms. It is a net negative for the gaming industry to be limited in their revenue streams. You cannot split the baby because some customers CHOSE to buy PS5 but the game THEY want to play is on Xbox. If they want to play it, buy an XBOX too. If that is too expensive, the gamer should increase their disposable income.

Gaming is not a human right.

Yeah most of the PHP hate came from old school PHP 3 code co-mingled with HTML 2/3 that didn't take advantages of the simple OOP added. PHP 4 took decent steps but couldn't shake that stigmata. PHP 5 and some good MVC frameworks (written in 4 and 5) made great advances and 7/8 and the spinoffs make the language pretty good for any scripting or web job. These days I prefer JVM based languages but if I needed a quick web task with minimal overhead PHP would still be in the top 3 options.

But some old timers (genX) still today bemoan php as if it had no progress made.

> This is what happens when the US tries to compete with Asia on manufacturing in a free market.

Does you definition of free market come from the "you'll work as much as I need you to if you want to eat" camp or the "if you want me to work bad enough, you'll pay me what I ask and negotiate the hours I am willing to work for you" camp?

Hey, you know you are right.

Every time a prediction is made in connection to a fact-check, the prediction should be falsified 100% immediately. You are right, we don't have to wait.

Try moving to VSCode on Windows, see if you can re-create your workflow there using plugins.

Then, if you are successful, port your workflow to VSCode running in Linux.

If portability/battery longevity and a high resolution is what you are after, there is always going to be a tradeoff. The monitor on my new laptop is 165hz IPS sRGB and I couldn't care less about build in monitor only doing 1080p vs Retina/4k. But I am willing to get more of what is more important to me vs what apple offers. If I get an M1 it will be a Mini, not a laptop. And if I need 4k I just output to an external monitor in docked mode anyways.

Trying to find a cheaper apple quality device that is as good... you'll really be limited to the cheaper Yoga 4k screen models and their ilk. But I have no experience with those devices.
