So if Ruby is dying and .NET is dying and PHP is dying, does that mean the future is NodeJS? Because if it is, fuck that noise.

Hey @boomzilla what are you doing here?
So, @royal_poet and I picked up a box of T.I.M.E. Stories this weekend and settled down to play.
And in the 1920s asylum... there's @boomzilla!
Better view...
Naturally, wooden table.

Politics category
It seems that we have a 'few' politics threads going on right now.
Might I suggest a politics category where we can Jeff the threads to and then be able to ignore the entire category for those of us who don't habitually wear flame retardant chemicals?

RE: This is how it feels to learn Javascript in 2016
@anonymous234 to be brutally honest I'm getting fed up of the whole web thing, it's like all the problems that were solved twenty years ago are suddenly new problems again and I'm tempted to fuck off to regular desktop development because that seems less full of ...

locks you out of some settings in the Edge browser
That's fine with me, since I don't want to use it in the first place.
I have to. Can't access my paystubs otherwise since our work web site doesn't work in Firefox.
at this point..... that has to be corporate malice deliberately breaking the site for FF.......
Nah, it’s a symptom of “we didn’t test in anything other than latest Chrome, sucks to be you for not keeping up”.

Lawyer fired and has license suspended for using AI to write court documents. AI cited cases that don't exist.
Last time this happened the lawyers only got a token fine. I’m glad there’s now real precedent.

@Gern_Blaanston or c) you have no clue what actually has been changed since when or if that's worth a major version increase or just a minor one, so you just increase the major number on every change.
Meanwhile, Discord over here wants me to install version 227.0 of its app.
No, that’s not a typo.
No, I have no idea what changed since last week either in version 226. Or 225, etc.
what's the point of dividing into minor and major versions of it's not a library? how would you say a change broke or hasn't broken binary compatibility in an app?
Major versions used to indicate license incompatibility, as in "You need to pay us again for this version." Subscriptions solved that problem.
(Yes, I know there was never any regularity in that either.)
I wish more software worked that way. It'd be fucking revolutionary these days.

@Gern_Blaanston said in WTF is happening with Windows 11? And nothing else:
lot of companies dragged their feet releasing new Vista-compatible versions of their programs.
Also the driver ABI changed significantly and manufacturers had to suddenly write less shit drivers, and the lack of good drivers at first plus Vista being sold on underpowered gear basically doomed it.

RE: WTF is happening with Windows 11? And nothing else
Interestingly I think 8/8.1 would have been better received with the full screen launcher type stuff if they'd transitioned from 7 to 10 to 8 with a clear and present roadmap of bringing together desktop and smaller form factors - the shitshow that was 8's principle downfall was the trying to ape Apple's ongoing unification plans (see MacOS Snow Leopard and Lion, and Launchpad/Mission Control as a gradual step towards unifying the MacOS and iOS launchers from which Windows 8 clearly took some cues)
The problem is that they didn't gradually introduce the changes they were hoping to in a boiling frog way but made the entire jump. (Of course, in the interim, Apple has apparently given up on anything resembling that because they have no actual trajectory in a post-Jobs world)
But if you look at everything from 8 onwards, it was clear they're trying to out-Apple Apple, but with no understanding of why Apple did anything or why any of it worked for Apple.

@sockpuppet7 Chrome will never concede to this. They’re the ones pushing the agenda as it currently stands as the de facto monopoly in this space, and they’re doing it for multiple reasons, but not least because it makes it harder for new competition to come into the market.
