The good thing about the var keyword is that it’s still statically typed. The IDE can figure out the type for you if you hover over it.

Sure, anyone can pick up a new language or two over a weekend. That doesn’t mean they are confident enough to contribute to large scale programs with it. That takes much longer to learn.

Anyone can quickly learn how to solve some code challenges in a new language.

It’s a completely different story to learn how to write long lived enterprise scale programs that can grow with multiple independent contributors. This takes a lifetime to learn. More people have more experience to do it with Java.

It’s by amount of pull requests, so the length of class names and other Java boilerplate doesn’t count.

You’re delusional if you believe people care about Nim. It has been around for 16 years and is still nothing in comparison to Java. Java won’t go anywhere and is here to stay.

Who cares? If it works, it works.

The biggest strength of Java is that many programmers has years or even decades of experience in it.

Ok, roadside assistance is maybe worth that price, but the rest are just API calls that cost them virtually nothing to operate. There’s no need for them to keep these functionalities hostage behind some roadside service, other than to be anti consumer.

Not to mention that by paying $90 extra you unlock the functionality to remote unlock your car. What’s the justification for this price? There’s no way it costs this much extra.

$59 is still too much to ask for what amounts to just a few API calls to some cloud service.

Version numbering scenes are also arbitrary. In the case of Linux, the scheme is “Bump up the minor version until it’s too big. In that case bump up the major version instead”.

The terminal is a power tool. I can do stuff with it that’s slow or inconvenient with graphical tools.

I really like the piping capabilities of the Linux terminal. Incredibly useful for text processing.

KDE Plasma and Gnome are different desktop environments. Kind of like the GUI of the desktop.

Which is best is a matter of taste. I prefer KDE because of its customization options and better virtual desktop support.

But locking the screen is not the purpose of xscreensaver. It’s mostly just an overlay with animations.

Screen locking yes, but that’s not screen saver.

Who even uses screensavers these days?

On the topic of Microsoft support, I hate how useless support boards are. They’re always responding with the same template answers describing the exact steps the asker clearly stated they’ve already done with no results. Microsoft is far from alone in this, but I just wanted to rant a bit.

Still a massive increase compared to a few months ago.
