Because it looked like a 25 sentence comment on a quote probably taken out of context. C isn't a lot of things because it's not meant to be. You don't grab a C compiler looking for a package manager or an interactive interpreter or a community manifesto. (Well, maybe you read K&R, but it's handy and concise.) You might want a standard library, but that's not really necessary either, depending on your target. I like C because I don't have to fight with syntax (I'm looking at your Python) or do things the way the language "designer" wants me to do them. There's a place for that other stuff, but this doesn't have to be that.

Windows 11 isn't going to fix Cyberpunk 2077.

It works for proper Windows apps. Not so much for developers that don't follow guidelines and standards. Remember when a common look and feel was actually a selling point for an OS? Every dev is now a self-proclaimed UX expert.

I've been using the same combination of hot keys and tools for decades (with a few extra modifiers for RDP and ICA clients). The only thing I really want out of a snip tool is control highlighting and capture, similar to Spy++ and other tools but for bitmaps.

Some just never find a contemporary market, like WinFS and other fun things tested decades before a market existed for them. It makes more sense for Microsoft to monetize SQL Server on their own cloud platform now then it did several years ago.

Just so. (Software of any sort is just running on its host OS, whether or not it's isolated by OS specific constructs.)

Apple (and most employers) aren't paying people enough to live where their offices are, so they're planning to pay people even less to live in lower cost areas. Spoiler alert: Employees won't be paid enough to cover living expenses, college tuition, etc. in those new locales either. Apple is the richest, most profitable company on earth. Paying employees enough to live comfortably in the Bay Area shouldn't be among its problems.

... it sues. Folks should be fairly compensated for their work. _Fairly_ compensated. It really is time for EULAs to get a fair lending style regulated makeover to make it clear to consumers exactly what their license allows and doesn't allow.

... but never realizes it.

I may have skimmed a bit, but I read no mention of pixel aspect ratio. When I'm playing emulated games, that's generally the only "filter" I want: turn those square pixels into the rectangles they're supposed to be. The crisp emulated image at the correct aspect ratio is closest to how I perceived the originals on e.g. a 13" Commodore branded CRT or a 20" Sony Trinitron. Nice displays (fine dot pitch or aperture) minimized the negative space between pixels, and adjustments minimized color bleed. That's not to say artists didn't use CRTs to great effect, but some tricks, e.g. using grays to simulate colors not available in a limited color palette, work well on LCD and OLED, too.

Say no more. Just sightseeing.

Not if you move to those areas while already employed by the company.

Or to simply avoid Oracle's predatory reviews of historical JDK/JRE installations and subsequent true-up charges? There are other OpenJDK builds, but why wouldn't Microsoft protect their interests?

Microsoft's first Java IDE predates Eclipse by five years. It's probable they didn't rely solely on that prior experience, but it exists within Microsoft nonetheless. My memory may be faulty, but I don't recall Eclipse being well received by the non-IBM crowd when it was first released.

It was. Next?
