Why you shouldn’t develop production grade software for Windows part 25.

Actually “natural” gets a pass from me. It doesn’t feel right just because we got used to the opposite.

Imagine a paper scroll on rolls. If you slide the top of the roll upwards - the paper goes up, and you can see more bottom content. The exact opposite happens when you scroll the mouse wheel with default config.

Nah. Nvidia is still Nvidia, but 2 years ago or so they finally gave up and started supporting GBM and even opened part of their driver stack.

Some things, like hardware encoder are even easier to set up than AMD’s counterpart. (Mainly because Nvidia proprietary driver being supported better than AMD’s proprietary driver)

I disagree (mostly). What’s the difference between library and language built-in? PHP and C++ has a ton of built-ins. It doesn’t make it less complex than using library.

Problems that look simple at the first glance are in most cases are complex with too many edge cases.

I think I have never written a single utility function that had no non-obvious bug, and imagine that in more complex problems

Not to mention in many cases any function you write is possibly dangerous.

Just take a look how many things you have to consider when checking for odd number in JS:

And of course most of that can be fixed be using strongly typed language.

I specifically have a rule that if at the current abstraction layer, a step is more than one function call/assignment - I’m creating another function for that.

The times just before social media. Internet was just modern enough to serve memes to thousands of users, yet it wasn’t treated as serious as now. It was literally wild west of digital world.

No, any documentation >>> GUI. GUI relies on your previous experience with similar environments. Just jump into a GUI of Visual Studio (not code) project configuration and see for yourself.

As a 1998 who had access to the internet during its wildest peak with no parental control at all (had internet since I was 10 years old), I do not agree with ANY parental control. Your kid is going to stumble upon these topics anyway, sooner or later, internet or real life.

Instead of preventing it - monitor it, and make sure you discuss it with them. Some years from now on, you will lose whole control over them, and then they won’t be easily persuaded.

Censorship creates people that are easily manipulated - no matter what your intentions are.

Thanos was right. Some greater-being should just snap some part of humanity out of existence. Just not the random half, but those who actively try to ruin it for the others.

It brings up actual issues of today’s world of men and women - in kind of metaphorical but not really way.

The thing is, they look like too much for a simple app with near none interactive elements.

But once app starts growing, concepts like reusable components, reactivity and state management become such an important tool.

Imagine tracking shopping cart’s total value. With these frameworks it’s just one store containing total value, exposing the value as reactive state. Once the value changes, all components using directly or indirectly that value update immediately. In vanilla you would have to keep track of every instance where that value is used manually.

Additionally, if you decide keeping total value of cart in frontend is stupid (because it is), you just modify your store to provide only readonly value, and create setters that require you to pass item or item id. Then that setter would hit up backend keeping your cart’s total value, add an item, and backend would return new total, which would now be set as that store’s new total value.

These frameworks are kind of SOLID principles applied to chaotic world of user interfaces.

I tried to learn React, but it was unnatural for me, but then senior front dev at my workplace suggested Vue. I remember Vue’s options api being too weird to even try it.

Then I discovered there’s composition api and fell in love with it. React’s flow without its weird quirks.

I think Svelte is next step towards feeling as natural as possible.

ZZ will save file though, the others won’t. You meant ZQ.

If you’re using Excel so much to the point that certain things can only be done in Excel on Windows, just learn Python.

Dafuq are you talking about? I’ve downloaded many random shit from Github on Windows to restore some basic UX functionality on W11, while I have never downloaded any software from Github repo on Linux, because everything I need is either on Ubuntu repo or some ppa or - shockingly - is built-in DE. And I’m a programmer and Linux is my daily driver.

Is SMTP out of question?

It is better than in most languages with exceptions, except from languages like Java, that require you to declare that certain method throws certain error.

It’s more tedious in Go, but at the end of the day it’s the same thing.

When I use someone else’s code I want to be sure if that thing can throw an error so I can decide what to do with it.

What’s wrong with Docker?

I have Logitech G535. And I play osu!. I’m pretty sure there is latency but I couldn’t feel any difference between them and headphones connected to DAC. So if there’s any latency there, it is definitely less than 5ms.

Actually ACL on Windows is very bad. Recursively changing owner of directory can take minutes, same operation on any UNIX-like OS takes seconds.
