You know what I do after installing my OS? I just use it as is. The defaults are already set to my liking. I haven't been able to do that with Windows since 2001.

Like the famous quicksort algorithm. Invented in 1959, still used today.

I'm just a hobbyist but...are you guys using exceptions like they're conditional statements?? I thought those were for only when shit is seriously wrong and execution can't continue in the current state. Like if some resource was in a bad state or some input was malformed.

Or maybe I haven't worked on anything complex enough, I dunno.

Docker has fully replaced what I used VMware ESXi for. They thought they had more sway than they did.

Sometimes you'll notice the side effects, like if you have a small OLED or LCD screen and start getting garbage characters in your strings.

It doesn't matter if you have 2 Gigabit internet if no one in the world is uploading even half that fast.

Just to point out something, yes, there may not be many services online (except torrents perhaps) that will max out your gigabit connection, but you are looking at it from the perspective of a single user. I'm in a family of four, also with a roommate in the house, and with everyone gaming and streaming and doing their thing, it can easily saturate it. We had to pay extra for no caps though or we'd be toast. They at least did offer that. Dicks.

Anyway the point of a high speed connection is to be able to do many things simultaneously, not really one giant thing by itself.

Broadband had pretty much had taken over most places by the mid-2000s. That was 20 years ago. There are people who can drink now who were born after 9/11.

What I'm trying to say is, yes, we're old. Dialup to younger folks is like what rotary phones were to us.
