It has never⦠donâ(TM)t know why it ate my apostrophe.

Microsoft had/has an app store. Itâ(TM)s never gotten developer or customer traction.

Applications written directly using APIs on the platform theyâ(TM)re running on (Windows, macOS, Linux, etc. this is in contrast to progressive web apps (PWAs) or platforms like Electron, which are intended to be more portable, but donâ(TM)t âoefeelâ like the platform theyâ(TM)re running on, even if they hook into platform-specific APIs too.

Should we call stored procedures people? Should we call DLL's people? Should we call Visual Basic applications people? Should we call all the icons on your iPhone people? Seriously. He should be publicly shamed forever for ever making such a ridiculous statement.

Windows has supported USB in the loader since Vista. It was necessary for USB boot, which was first added - partially - in XP. Windows PE (which underlies RE) has supported USB peripherals from its inception. Just no PnP initially.

Seattle's Cinerama - now "SIFF Downtown", is one of my favorite screens...

Passthrough SSL exists. And although it is harder to do, it can be load-balanced. So it's not as black-and-white as you assert.

Let me turn your own side's words back on you: Fuck Your Feelings.

Of course it was a problem. DHH got called out for his performative liberalness, and he (and his co-founder) did what he always does: throw a tantrum.

Let me summarize your post: Bullshit.

You're failing the Reverse Turing Test. Hard.

Of course it does. Here's a very good heuristic: if a right-winger posts a link to a bad source (Breitbart, NYPost, Daily Mail, etc) it's bullshit. If a right-winger posts a link to a mainstream source, it will invariable contradict him.

Bit Coin and other Crypto-Currencies, have a supply limiter built into the algorithm [...] However we are not using Bit Coin as a currency like it was intended

And that makes it a bad currency. Limited backing means it's deflationary.

but it being horded and locked up

QED: people are treating it as a deflationary asset: holding it.

Also note that among those protesting release are fisherman. Releasing the tritium-infused waste water directly onto the coast may dilute it at first, but fish have the nasty habit of concentrating pollution.

Yeah, that's what they said in the 1970s in the Netherlands. If you look at photographs of Amsterdam in those days it was tin cans all over the place.

50 years later, after decades of integrated traffic planning including bike traffic as a main category, the entiry country is considered a bicyclist's paradise.

For sure suburban sprawl (and suburbs designed for car use) does not help, but there are plenty of spots in the US where sub-10 mile commutes could easily be done by bicycle if the infrastructure were in place. In fact, the big cities are the ones most likely to improve in liveability if intra-city traffic planning were more bike-friendly. You'd still have some cars feeding into the city from the suburbs, of course. But that's a different problem.

But you know what the worst part of your post is? That a 21st-century American is going 'We cannae do it!"
