Sounds like a 4chan prank, but… 🪦

ebian? You gave away the D? Is this a trans joke?

The bad thing is, they’ve attached a mediocre screwdriver to the hammer because everybody keeps using the hammer as a screwdriver. But now, everybody STILL uses the hammer as a screwdriver. The screwdriver part used to be a separate tool, but people didn’t know how to use it, and now they still don’t, even though it comes with instructions.

They really should have kept things separate.

It comes down to the question “Is YOUR C++ code faster than Python?” (and of course the reverse).

I’ve built a SCADA from scratch and performance requirements are low to begin with, seeing as it’s all network bound and real world objects take time to react, but I’m finding everything is very timely.

A colleague used SQLAlchemy for a similar task and got abysmal performance. No wonder, it’s constantly querying the DB for single results.

Maybe they mean up to?

If it only was just moving things around. The control panel has been further castrated while the settings app is just bad. Something about their CPU scheduler changes straight up broke VMware, and obviously MS is in no hurry to fix it resp. cooperate with VMware, being a competitor.

Rounded corners? I couldn’t care less. It’s a functional downgrade, though.

CLI is effective because every command serves a specific purpose. UIs are the opposite, you have to imagine all possible intentions the user could have at any given point and then indicate possible actions, intuitively block impossible actions, and recover from pretty much any error.

Everything is rage bait nowadays. It’s exhausting.

Mumble!

Feel free to argue with them, I’m just pointing out that there’s potential for misunderstandings. If you want to talk about an actual subject, you’ll necessarily have to navigate them.

Sure it is. You can define language all you want, the goal is to communicate with each other. The definition follows usage, not the other way around. Just look up the current definition for literally…

Me, too. But it also means when some people say “that’s a lie” they’re not accusing you of anything, just remarking you’re wrong. And that can lead to misunderstandings.

I’ve had this lengthy discussion before. Some people define a lie as an untrue statement, while others additionally require intent to deceive.

E: you can stop arguing about definitions and logic. The fact remains that some people will refer to untrue statements as lies, no matter what the dictionary says.

Yo dude’s so compressed, his checksum is 1! laugh track

That was dope! 363/365 points 😎

Of course. Everyone who’s ever used a DB knows it’s BS. As long as the data is structured - which it a) is because he was able to make assertions about it and b) fucking Excel files are enough - it CAN be imported and SQL’d on. Even Excel has built in support for fuck’s sake, not to mention Python and PowerQuery.

The dude is a self-certified moron - he probably struggles with the concept of PKI, too.

I’m sure backups and redundancies are “inefficient” since “everything is in the cloud, anyway”.
