I do not understand this joke. Is it about “time is relative”?

You misspelled Unix.

I still use Winamp 5.5 or something, before it became bloated. Still kicks the same ass. Llama’s

BSD = Bondage, Submission, Dominance?

/so sorry, could not resist.

No, worse. It implies that somebody switched to Windows.

Unrelated, but it is interesting that people ask for addictive games rather than for good games. Those are not the same.

Nah. It is DOS with Norton Commander.

We do what we can, because we must!

Thank you, kind stranger. Corrected.

AI is a tool, and one need to learn using it. But even today, just two years from introduction to the public (LLMs) it has lot’s of uses. This is one of the fastest adoption of nearly any technology.

iPhone XS Max, 2018. The only reason I might update is for the better camera. But this is marginal. I tend to buy one of the top line iPhone once in about 5 years, with enough memory. And they last long time. I might consider changing battery instead and get another 2 years… Apple is also super good with software updates on old hardware.

I stand corrected, while android dominates the world, in US iPhone share is indeed just above the half (55%). It is still not enough to call it monopoly, but it might have chance.

For one to use anti monopoly law, being monopoly is kind of important. If you are trying to lock in vendor while NOT being a (near) monopoly - it is not illegal per that law. There might be other regulations, that makes it illegal though, I am not a layer to know this fully. I am just conveying somebody else’s analysis who is a lawyer.

Not gonna happen. There is enough competition on the market for Apple to prove that they are not a monopoly. Most of the smartphones sold in US are not iPhones. It is like accusing BMW, that they sell their cars only with their part and their software.

They need to rewrite 125 of the 200 lines.

And I guarantee, it is much easier to write 200 new lines than change 125 out of 200 lines in somebodies code. No matter how nicely that code is written.

Can confirm, broken for me too.

Is there a real problem there? One can always find an instance not federated with Meta.

As one physicist to another, the most important thing in the code are long variable names (descriptive) and comments.

We usually do not do multi-people multi year projects, so all other comments in this page especially the ones coming from programmers are not that relevant. Classes are cool, but they are not needed and often obscure clarity of algorithmic/functional programming.

S. Wolfram (creator of Mathematica) said something along these lines (paraphrasing) if you are writing real code in Mathematica - you are doing something wrong.

Call me lazy, but I like terminal 1. Usually shortest distance from the station building.
