I read the book, I know exactly what happened

It started a while ago, there are no nuclear waste but it will have in the coming years. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik...

I certainly hope you're right, but I have a hard time believing it. I'm probably too cynical for my own good.

Yes, that's really. I often think about python in that way. As a first langage, it teaches you things that doesn't exist in other langages. I think Swift, while not being a bad langage, pushes that reasoning to the extreme.

I had an app rejected because of 32x32px screenshots of album covers. I contested it by saying it was fair use (and by the fact this particular app validated something like 6 times with these exact screenshots) but I ended up changing screenshots.

He likes his main language. He sees all the good things, he even sees some stupid things as great, he knows all the pitfalls and overall he really likes it because heâ(TM)s good at it. At least Iâ(TM)m honest when I talk about the language Iâ(TM)m best at and that I love (I wonâ(TM)t say which one because thatâ(TM)s not the subject. And I think most developers can agree to what I said.

I recently had to work with macOS, I went from nearly twenty years of Linux ( using window maker and gnome ) to macOS. I was surprised to discover that I was able to make it work exactly like my gnome setup. You could even change all the keyboard shortcuts (like how to change the keyboard layout, or how to change to another desktop). I then got used to some really nice things. I donâ(TM)t think that going back to Linux / gnome will be easy now ^^. (And Iâ(TM)ve been using Windows 10 but just to play on my home pc. I canâ(TM)t say I like it.)

that happens to use spaces.

My brother-in-law lives in the usa (Seattle) he pays $80 (iirc) monthly for his internet, he said it was the cheapest. I live in france, for €32, I have a 22Mb/1.4MB VDSL connection along with a €0 euro mobile plan including 2h voice, and unlimited sms per month, and another 17€ with 50GB 4G plan with unlimited voice and sms (along with free roaming up to 3GB per year in a lot of countries including uk, germany, italy and spain). So I don't know what turned bad in usa, but it can't be that pricey.

... from what I saw there, it's quite common to have a 3/4G connection as a main home connection. I live in France, and here, we all have optic fiber ,vdsl or adsl at worst, but I never visited any home where the main internet access is a 3/4G connection. That may explain a lot about the quality of the service.

I just installed windows 10 yesterday as an upgrade to windows 8.1.

it kept all my settings, in a very accurate way except for one : it replaced my browser with edge. So at the first reboot I launched chrome, and it whined about not being my defaut browser, so I clicked the "make chrome my defaut browser" button, and a window came, recapitulating my prefered apps for music / videos / etc, I thought to myself that it was thoughtful to show me all those settings, but I had other things to do, so I closed that window.

Well, next reboot, same problem : chrome wasn't my default browser, you actually have to go to the bottom of the window that pops up, and the deselect edge for your prefered browser at the bottom of the window. So I finally did it.

I thought about the same thing : " ... browsing is still one of the very top activities that people do on a PC" yes, so why the hell don't they change the browser as chrome requested, and why the hell do they put this option on the bottom of the window, which is not visible unless I scrolled down (I have a 1920x1080 screen) ?

well I think I know why, I'll be sure to check edge's market share in the next months.

Black Mirror season 2 episode 1 talks about that particular subject : a technology able to mimic someone based on their private and public online activities. I highly recommend anyone who hasn't seen this series to go watch it, btw.

When you cite developpers, don't forget rebellion http://www.rebellion.co.uk/. They did the only excellent jaguar game, and they did the better episode of the pc series.
