Nope

Doesn’t matter if you did do it the windows way, honestly. Anything of any scale programmed in .NET has runtime reflection scattered everywhere, and that shit adds up.

Oh shit. I need to watch this.

Minecraft. You think that there’s no way to play Minecraft “wrong”, right up until you accidentally fall into the 4-block wide valley that I’ve cut through the entire map or walk into the liminal space that I’ve mined out just above bedrock. Fuck cutesy cottages and Minecraft in minecraft- let’s just build superstructures that disappear beyond the draw distance of the map. Fuck creative mode- let’s do it while we’re facing down mobs day and night. Fuck explosives- do that shit with a pick like a goddamn man. You haven’t really seen confused rage until your child discovers hundreds of unexplained and unexplainable brutalist towers extending into the distance like the gravestones of alien gods when they thought you were building a farm over the next hill.

It’s also 60", which is absurdly large to me lol. Glad I could help, though.

Ah, my bad. Sorry.

I have one. It’s 4k, which gave me some trouble from an Ubuntu media server, and the refresh rate is ~144, I believe. It cost me something like 300-400 USD.

Try a Spectre t.v. they’re made for digital signage. I got one and hooked it up to a media server.

Same

I’m mainly concerned about:

1. Not losing data if one drive dies on me.
2. Fast reads
3. Easy plug and play expansion

Since I’ll have 8 drives (or 6, if I use the smaller server, it would be nice if I could swap out one of them without losing data and add a larger one, which would then get used automatically. Is that something that RAID is good for?

I’m hesitant to set up backups because it’s going to be a lot of data.

My partner and I have founded a company that uses custom AI models trained on research to (partially) automate the process of peer review and replication. We can identify mistakes and some types of fraud in research to aid reviewers as well as extract methods and equations from papers and automatically verify findings. If you know anything about the state of research right now, those are some incredibly large benefits.

I used to have a power shell script that a coworker gave me that would uninstall a huge number of services and apps on windows, change a bunch of config settings etc.

I’ve always wished there were a way to roll out a stripped windows release as an open source project without getting sued.

Sweet, we need more non-English programming languages. I’m surprised that existing programming languages haven’t been translated yet.

Rust, hands down.

I didn’t say that it was my primary skill, I mentioned it as a factor. If you have some bias against a worker learning how to communicate clearly and present themselves well to stand out in an interview and get a higher paying job, then you’re an idiot.

Honestly, I don’t think it’s just money. It’s a baseline of support that means you never have to worry about your kids eating or having new clothes, coupled with a vast social network. That network is made up of friends, coworkers, people who went to the same school as you, your parents friends and coworkers, your extended family, and just random-ass acquaintances who go to the same fucking gelato place as you.

I’m a good software developer- I interview well, have broad experience, and pick things up quickly. I’ve repeatedly leveraged my contacts from school, their contacts, and even people I’ve dated in the same industry - to get jobs and opportunities that my family couldn’t provide because they’re desperately poor. It’s absurd how many opportunities I’ve gotten that way. I’ve seen equally talented developers grind along in shit jobs because when they look for work they do it by applying to hundreds of openings on indeed or wherever instead of hitting up all of their current and past acquaintances and asking if anyone is looking.

Now draw the same comparison, but between someone who has a network of contacts that are wealthy, and me. That’s why these people can do what they do. They might be smart, they might work hard, but at the end of the day, they’ve got access we don’t.

(Edit to add conclusion)

What obsession?

Seems like there’s a need for someone to create tools that strip the latest windows release down to a minimal install, convert all of the smart features back into db menus, standardize the locations of options, and give you opt-in features instead of opt-out.

Oh yeah, neither of us were assuming he was intelligent- just a flailing asshole with a grudge. But you’re probably right.
