I do not agree. Very often, when using libraries for example, you need some extra custom handling on types and data. So the easy way is to inherit and extend to a custom type while keeping the original functionality intact. The alternative is to place the new functionality in some unrelated place or create non-obvious related methods somewhere else. Which makes everything unnecessary complex.

And I think the trait system (in Rust for example) creates so much duplicate or boilerplate code. And in Rust this is then solved by an even more complex macro system. But my Rust knowledge might just nog be mature enough, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong..

I have two:

  • di.fm for all your electronic genres music needs (with bonus rock, classical and jazz streams).
  • Kagi for a search engine that actually tries to give you proper results.

Installing Word, on a server, running as administrator, forecefully linked to some MS account for activation... Is that really a reasonable solution in a Microsoft world? Smh.

If documentation comes as Word document there is no documentation and a huge red flag for the software.

That was one of the things that really helped with the immersion for me in Witcher 3 and even Cyberpunk. You walk into a building, house, etc and the world outside just continued and was present. I'm still quite impressed with their engine and it is a bit sad that they'll be switching to UE5 for the next Witcher.

This is the best answer. I've been doing it for years at work. Dual-booting is just very inconvenient and WSL(2) is the worst of both worlds.

Install Linux on the machine and keep windows in a nice secure kvm-based cage where it can do less damage.

Too bad, hardly any information in this AI narrated video.

TL;DW:

  • School of the Lynx, not in the official Lore
  • Not before 2025/2026
  • Based on Unreal Engine 5

I'm sorry, you're arguing in bad faith or have a huge case of Stockholm Syndrome.

But, just look at their Troubleshooting documentation where they tell you to drop to the terminal.

My point is that Microsoft has stopped making new buttons and dropdowns and refer you to new Powershell incantations for most new settings. Just look at how many options the new "Settings" app offers compared to the deprecated Control Panel.

I have heard this argument for over 20 years.. "You have to use the terminal in Linux, so user hostile".

Well, try to do ANY windows sysadmin tasks without Powershell.. See how far that gets you. Need to manage Exchange? Powershell. Need to change some network settings? Powershell.. It is even getting more and more unavoidable. Now Powershell doesn't even have a good terminal environment, sane parameters or good usability. And a general lack of documentation for all the obscure incantations.

In the meantime KDE on Linux is wonderful, fully integrated with the system, easy software maintenance (on Kubuntu for example) and with a sane settings menu... You hardly need a terminal at all. Try to find that in Windows.

So sorry, this argument is either invalid, out of date or Microsoft is even worse.

Ha, I had to look up the most up-to-date acronym on Wikipedia and found this one. They are NVidia and Adobe.

I quite like this one :)

I would buy YouTube Premium in a heartbeat if it wasn't by the morally corrupt Google (or any other from MANAMANA).

Holy snark aside... 18% preprinted on the bill? That brunch better included a BJ then. And yes, I'm European.
