Someone should make a show about that… her name could be Dexterette!

Sad to see that you are downvoted. It's sad seeing that Hackernews doesn't understand Dexter memes.. (Amazing show, Highly recommended)

This isn’t Reddit. Awesome bacon sauce posts generally aren’t appreciated

Yes. I think the assumptions are made by people with two displays of at least 32" and ≥4K resolution.

I think it’s more of a carryover from the original Mac’s in the 80s.

Trying to maximize a window, even 23 years ago when I first moved to OS X, was a completely manual process. It was designed around windows, not walls. And screens were much smaller and lower res back then.

Being to aggressive in breaking stuff gets you a shitshow like Node.js or Ruby. Long-term source code compatibility is a very useful feature for open source and a sign of a mature eco system. Feel free to add stuff, but once it's part of a stable release it has to be maintained long after a "better" way to do it comes along.

Javascript would heavily benefit from breaking changes. The reason why it still sucks ass to use today is because this won't ever happen.

I can't speak for node.js specifically but who gives a shit

> Long-term source code compatibility is a very useful feature for open source

Sure, until you need affordable maintainers. Maintainability must be balanced with patience for bad software. Cf the insane maintenance cost of perl scripts

nodejs itself doesn't have very many breakages; i have plenty of code that is unchanged from 0.12 to 24. npm is a whole other kettle of fish but I don't think you can blame the core project for the sins of everyone that publishes to the package manager. Python2 -> Python3 on the other hand had a lot of breakage in "standard" code.

I've worked with enterprise software. The result its that people will eventually just wait a few hours/days and lie if they even care enough to do that. The perverse incentives destroy what utility a bug tracker could bring. Int theory transparency could help by changing the incentives if third parties analyze the metrics and call out bullshit to an audicence that matters.

Let the damn politicans go first and make all their private messages public. Yes everything from boring I'm stuck in traffic honey over nudes to insider trading and lobbying.

IIRC the Propeller is an eight thread barrel CPU with the same number of pipeline stages. So it "retires" just one instruction per cycle. All PIO state machines can run every cycle so they should be considered very small CPU cores. You can think of them as channel I/O co-processors for a microcontroller instead of a mainframe.

Beware reading the specs. It uses an ancient ARM9 CPU core instead of an ARM v9 compatible one.

One crazy detail about the Pentium 4 is that even at 3.2GHz the simple integer ALUs ran at twice the clock speed. Which allows the cursed thing to run two add with carry instructions per cycle.
