I remember I have my first computer that could actually play MP3's. The computer I had before it could store them but not play them. So yeah I remember those times...

This looks really nice, I also have a weird love for this kinds of GUI's. Windows 95/98 & CDE are my thing, and I really miss it.

I left the site over a month ago, I closed my account. I only receive weird emails from recruiters from it.

It's like making directories called 'only for jack' etc. and expecting everyone to follow the rules

Since LLM's are mimicking our code my guess we do...

Two articles on the site are already bookmarks in my app. I completely agree. Not all applications become hugely populair to actually need all those tooling. Plus since I always work in a DevOps team installation and maintenance of all those things are on our team; I don't want to learn to maintain and install all those things. If a team member suggests to add some random tool; the first thing I ask is who will be maintaining it? I'm not.

Both screenshots of Windows 2000 and OpenVMS are in my opinion the peak UI's.

Humm that's like 2 or 3 countries?

I recently got a 1Gbit fiber and I have been very happy with it. I do not know if I am a heavy internet user but I have DisneyPlus, Netflix, HBO, Prime. I game and those games use a lot of data (80GB is normal now). I don't pirate stuff. I work from home 95% of the time. I do not see ANY reason to go faster. If I download a game and it is large I have to tell steam to cap the speed to 200 Mbit otherwise my machine freezes (I download games to a normal SATA drive and the machine is a Ryzen 9 9900X). I have to option to go to 2Gbit or even 8Gbit but I don't want to buy more expensive switches/routers and network cards for my computers.

Who (not including geeks) would want to go faster than 1Gbit?

It's a typo: I meant consultant

One of the pillars of Domain Driven Design. I love working on a pure DDD application but I do not often convince my team (I am a constant) that this is the best way ...

They should drop the word 'buy'. There are several reasons your purchase will be gone at some point. There is no guarantee the company will not be bought by another company that reverses some policy or it goes bankrupt, etc.

I think it does if enough people try this. I will.

Yes ASP.NET core is a big improvement; I recently tried .NET again on my Linux machine and was able to run .NET and skip using Mono.

If we want to compress a file we normally just wrap the file ouputstream in a GZIPOutputStream so we add features by wrapping it.

I mostly blame it on Linq but you are right it mostly because bad documentation on both the provider and the general stuff on how Linq works.

Yes Java does not have an alternative for Linq and jooq is a poor knock-off compared to this but then again: I do not care much for JPA/Hibernate.

Same for me. I have worked with Java since 1.2.2 and used .NET for something like 10 years (don't remember the versions). Most important differences are:

  -Java always has an API, .NET is about extending an existing application (Servlet API vs IIS)
  -Java has a nicer IO as .NET has bidirectional streams (You can't wrap streams in .NET).
  -Linq is nice but has a huge caveat: if a Linq provider does not implement it fully to falls back to the .NET collections. So trying to 'Skip' and 'Take' on a ActiveDirectory will fall back to collections in memory and cause a crash on a huge AD in production (Yes had the pleasure).
  -Java's Eco-system is way bigger.

I have a Chromebook lying around that is cheaper than this... memory prices are crazy!

As far as I remember, when I was working with GIS I never had to use ArcGIS; there are very good free alternatives like QGIS.

Same can be said for learning an OO programming language or a procedural programming language. I learned C++ at school and started using Java on my first job. I forgot how to work correctly with pointers but I have tried multiple languages (using the same paradigms) and managed to build working software

It's not just 'a person' or 'a student', we as a collective become more dumb. Very simple example to highlight this: Most developers use(d?) stackoverflow. Everything related to software development is stored there. The LLM's trained on it. Now a huge set of developers now longer go to stackoverflow to get answers. Or add to the collective. Stackoverflow is losing money (ad revenue). If / when stackoverflow goes away we will lose a huge amount of collective information on software development. We, as a group, will take a huge step back.

I love this idea but I feel scared as well; who knows what we discover when we wipe these bugs out...

Ok it's clear my next car will not be a Sköda (or Volkswagen)

You broke the internet!

Exactly the same for me. I am very used to using my right hand so most thing I can do with both hands. When I played baseball (Even though I am Dutch) I could swing with my left and my right. I do catch with left though.

Weird thing is; lefties are rare. I have a very old group of friend that I know since I was 15. We are all lefties and one friend even married a left handed woman so the lefties are in the majority.

Even more reasons to avoid using Google. I have been a DuckDuckGo user for a few years now.

Wow this is a time killer... ended up here: https://superspl.at/scene/ff1d0393 beautiful!

Let's not start on GIT then...

I can clearly hear a fellow countryman. There is something very distinctive when Dutch people speak English. Very nice website. Very informative.

Very nice. Coincidentally I was doing the same. I tried multiple alternatives to Obsidian and they where all not it. I also wrote my own but opted for a website version that I host on a PINE64. Also written in Go; it's my first ever product written in Go.

This is why Microsoft access had twips
