kurosawaa,

Reading books. There are some great books on programming out there. I would strongly recommend a A Players Guide to C#. It’s structure, practice problems, and explainations of the basics were far better than any free guide to programming that I’ve seen online. There are a lot of other great books out there too.

It also doesn’t matter too much about a book being outdated when you are only studying the fundamentals.

A lot of the stuff you read online has never been fact checked or edited for clarity. Some of it is great, but most of it is not.

kurosawaa,

Linux has decimated Windows in the server market. It would be unthinkable for a new project to use Windows server, even Azure assumes you want to use Linux.

There are lots of industrial applications where open source has dominated the market. As the end user you might not see it, but almost all software and digital infrastructure you use has open source components.

kurosawaa,

No reasonable person should be afraid to be filmed dancing. The video was completely innocent and the principal at this school is clearly a religious creep.

In this world today there is also no way to avoid being filmed anyway.

kurosawaa,

If new evidence exonerates a living person, they can be released. You cant bring an innocent dead person back to life.

kurosawaa,

IMO if you were American, you would remember it for being traumatizing rather than for disrupting your cartoons. I’m about the same age as you and it had a huge impact on everyone I knew.

kurosawaa,

That book was written by a socialist.

kurosawaa,

It’s still a shame because the batteries are less environmentally friendly than the old trolley busses.

kurosawaa,

Multiple bus companies can be a good thing if done well. The busses in Taiwan are also privatized and the service is quite good. In Japan even the metro and rail networks compete in a private market.

When you privatize a company and make it a monopoly though you get the worst of both worlds.

kurosawaa,

In a well made apartment building you cant hear anything from your neighbors.

kurosawaa,

Lemmy is just too small so it doesn’t attract the same hard core crowd that it did on reddit. Lemmy also promotes controversial comments by default.

kurosawaa,

If they built more apartments, apartments with good sound proofing would be more common. I used to live in Taiwan, and every cheap apartment I lived in had excellent sound proofing.

Once there is more competition in the apartment/condo market, quality will go up.

kurosawaa,

Developers will stop building once there aren’t any customers left, which absolutely does happen in countries that allow high density urban housing.

kurosawaa,

Mao and most of the other early communist leadership were southerners. Most of the early KMT was made up of southerners too. I think westerners have this misconception that “Mandarin” is a northern language, but the standard Mandarin spoken in China is largely artificial, and has been a separate language for governance and education for centuries. No one in China back in 1949 would have thought of Standard Mandarin as representing “Northern” Chinese culture, even though it is based on an aristocratic dialect of Beijing Mandarin.

Some of the most endangered languages in China are natural forms of Mandarin in northern China, because it so similar to Standard Chinese and the government has no protections or cultural programs for them, unlike the southern languages like Wu, Minnan, and Cantonese.

China is a complicated country and it’s sad to see these misconceptions repeated ad nauseum in English media.

kurosawaa,

There are way too many answers after you finish this quiz. You should recommend, at most, three options after the quiz. This doesn’t help narrow down your options much at all.

kurosawaa,

Have you used Java before? It’s not a big leap from Java to C#, most of the concepts are the same. At least C# is a memory safe language, although I’m not sure if you’re unfamiliar with the code base and languages if it really makes a difference which language you use here. Hopefully your coworkers can help hold your hand a bit here, this situation sucks.

kurosawaa,

No, its the steam app that runs on Chromium.

kurosawaa,

Silent Hill 2 uses it unfortunately.

kurosawaa,

Never visit Europe then.

kurosawaa,

seriously，who has time to use a ping pong table at work? It’s like a decoration to remind you you’re not having fun.

kurosawaa,

I think the joy cons make it great for party games, it’s really convenient to get a 4 player game of Mario Cart going with just two pairs of joy cons.

kurosawaa,

IMO none of them are a great replacement. I’m trying Sync right now and am enjoying it. previously I used Voyager, which was really different but felt more polished than most other apps. I really hope we can get a Lemmy is fun someday.

kurosawaa,

That was my first thought as well.

kurosawaa,

The mystery of the something or other fault by Junji Ito.

kurosawaa,

It’s a reasonable increase considering recent inflation, and safe since YouTube just raised their price too. In the long run I would be worried for them since YouTube premium is a much better deal if you don’t care about Spotify’s exclusive podcasts.

kurosawaa,

Even Toyota is doing this now. They locked features like the digital tire pressure gauge behind a paywall on their app.
