And then they're the aggressors for not immediately begging for mercy.

Centre click is a godsend though. I recently had to start using Windows again and I keep instinctively hitting it.

Best to live in a housing co-op. That way the building is collectively owned so they would need permission from everyone.

Go back to before multicellular life evolved so nothing will bother me

Most Steam Deck games aren't $80 a pop so definitely bad. Also you can run regular Linux applications on a steam deck and use it basically like a tablet.

Off topic, but does anyone have the sources for the images of the commieblocks? I'd love to see some higher resolution versions and check out the photographers' other works.

Also worth noting that some of the workflows that were available in languages like CL or Smalltalk back in the 80s are superior to what most languages offer today.

In what ways? I don't have any experience with those so I'm curious.

I get what this is saying but on the other hand...

Programmers now:

πŸ’ͺ Can spin up a minimum viable product in a day

πŸ’ͺ Writes web applications that handle millions or even billions of requests per second

πŸ’ͺ Remote code execution and memory related vulnerabilities are rarer than ever now

πŸ’ͺ Can send data across the world with sub 1 second latency

πŸ’ͺ The same PCIe interface is now 32x faster (16x PICe 1 was 8GB/s, while PCIe 6 is 256GB/s)

πŸ’ͺ The same wireless bands now have more throughput due to better radio protocols and signal processing

πŸ’ͺ Writes applications that scale across the over 100 cores of modern top of the line processors

πŸ’ͺ JIT and garbage collection techniques have improved to the point where they have a nearly imperceptible performance impact in the majority of use cases

πŸ’ͺ Most bugs are caught by static analysis and testing frameworks before release

πŸ’ͺ Codebases are worked on by thousands of people at the same time

πŸ’ͺ Functional programming, which is arguably far less bug prone, is rapidly gaining traction as a paradigm

πŸ’ͺ Far more emphasis on immutability to the point where many languages have it as the default

πŸ’ͺ Virtual machines can be seamlessly transferred from one computer to another while they're running

πŸ’ͺ Modern applications can be used by people anywhere in the world regardless of language, even things that were very difficult to do in the past like mirroring the entire interface to allow an application that was written for left to right languages to support right to left

πŸ’ͺ Accessibility features allow people who are blind, paralyzed, or have other disabilities to use computers just as well as anyone else

Just wanted to provide come counter examples because I'm not a huge fan of the "programmers are worse than they were back in the 80s" rethoric. While programmers today are more reliant on automated tools, I really disagree that programmers are less capable in general than they were in the past.

Fun fact: for many residents moving into commieblocks when they were first built, it was the first time they had ever had electricity, indoor plumbing, and central heat. These buildings may seem lacking by modern standards, but they were absolutely revolutionary for their time.

Couldn't you get more energy density with compressed air? That way the entire volume of your warehouse is storing energy at the same time.

Should have asked for order 69

Off topic, but is it safe to share what I'm assuming is a stack trace/debug info QR code? Does it have any potentially sensitive data?

And when you do, you rattle the bells inside so it makes a ding.

in particular Christian Zionists

Don't Christians think all Jews are going to hell? Does Israel acknowledge their support? If so, imagine accepting support from a group who is literally trying to get you to fulfill their prophecy so their god can torture you for all eternity.
