VirtualBox is enough to run windows 7 for older programs. All new programs are jeet street tier anyway.

95, 98, ME, NT4, Win2k, are all of the classic windows family. Win2k is the final and peak evolution of classic windows. Then we enter XP/2k3, a corrupted devolution of classic windows, but still usable. After which there is Vista which was the start of the cursed death where classic windows was destroyed. Then Windows 8 starts the abomination era.

i have a b&w laser printer that i bought like a decade ago, still runs on the original toner. don't print much these days but when i do need it every couple of years it's a lifesaver

>the number of times they broke backwards comaptibility
Is Zero. None. Not a single time.

And that is a problem, because it means to carry a decade old design decisions with you forever.
Its actually a very common criticism. Many people would prefer it if they would brake backwards compatibility, which would simplify things a lot.

I don't know why you lie so much in this thread. Those lies don't make any sense. You don't have to lie. You could make a valid point while telling the truth.

The only difference between Matrix and Email is that the former has encryption and calls. Otherwise every single flaw of Email applies to Matrix too. Not only did it NOT win, it never stood a chance

I don't mind Hickey, I kind of like Clojure, and I almost agree with this viewpoint but I hate how he blathers on about his ideas and fails to address any practical, real life concerns about actually complicated software. I wish he'd, for once in his entire life, elaborate with properly worked real life practical examples.

Discoveries can't happen for infinity because the cost needed to advance from step to step grows and the amount of knowledge required also advances step to step. Eventually it will take more resources than the earth has and more than a life time of research just to make tiny upgrades over the previous level of technology. Humans, on earth, with limited resources and limited life spans have a hard cap on the level of technology that can be achieved. In computing we are obviously already at that place given how little improvements we see generation to generation in hardware and that the majority the so called gains turn out to be marketing spiel or gimmicks like fake frames. 15 year old CPU's hold up for a lot of tasks which would never have been the case at anytime period between 1950-2010.

you dont need much in the way of hardware beyond a pen and a sheet of paper to figure shit out
theres still tons of things that others just didnt think of
you wouldnt have ai-lmaoo aka shatbots to begin with, otherwise

proof by absurd:
its a chicken and egg paradox
lets say you defo need resources to innovate:
how is you gonna invent shatbots if you dont have the gpus then?
and who is gonna give you gpus if you dont have a shatbot to run on em?

thats not how innovation works.
it starts with inspiration.
it starts with one idea, one brain.
and a sheet of paper. and a pen, ofc.

I use AI a lot but always get reminded from time to time of its BS. Today I asked ChatGPT to add a few lines to one of my laptop power management scripts to set powercap for the PCU in some low power circumstances. It is like 3 or 4 lines to add to an existing script, which I provided. Honestly I was just being lazy, but after prompting if I forgot about it. About 10 minutes later I remembered and went back to check and it was STILL churning on this question. And after another minute or so it dumped this insanely long script (original is maybe 18 lines, ChatGPT's update is over 150 lines) with so many problems, assumptions, and issues that I would never even consider using the script. I imagine how much compute was wasted to generate this nonsense. This happens pretty often. But at the same time, it can be incredibly useful when you give it clear step by step instructions. AI is a strange tool.

You can get better switches than the bog standard cherry mx ones, it's no longer 2010 where mx red/black/brown/blue were basically the only easily available options.

>>107639294
browns suck so much ass as tactiles that they're basically the same as reds and 90% of people find clickies annoying, so I would say brown or red

just make sure whatever you're buying has a hotswap pcb so you can experiment with other switches in the future. I recommend HMX tactiles.

>>107639340
you can use blues for gaming, they're just going to be more annoying to listen to

>>107638778
Doesn't matter. It's still fast. It still has good libraries. It can still do anything you want/need. It still has good compilers. It still has good tools. It still runs on anything.

>>107638778
> Why don't you use something else
Because every other language is a second class citizen. C is the lingua franca of computing, everything else is forced to use some grotesque FFI. Being mostly a superset of C is the only reason anyone uses C++. And people will continue to use C++, since not one person has attempted to create an alternative.

>>107639141
>like that's actually a sane thing to say
but isn't it? it's better to have a single language with thousand extensions and standard libraries you can choose among then having to learn multiple different smaller languages with all different syntax, semantics and idioms, imo.

there is little distinction between the two in practice
a c-style c++ codebase is practically unusable in a rust-style c++ codebase without so much code in between that it approximates a FFI

>>107635809
It's hard to express how stupid of an idea this is. When I make a post on your site, I am paying you. Your site needs users. Users are attracted by posts. So when I post I am contributing to your site in a positive way. If you make me pay for the privilege then I - and the majority of posters - will leave. You know who won't leave? Spammers. They are already willing to pay to post, in the form of captcha solvers, proxies, ais to make their post, etc. If they are shills or astroturfers, they also earn money off of each post. So naturally if you explicitly charge them to post they won't blink. Charging a fee for each post is the quickest possible way to make your site consist of nothing but spammers.

The slashdot model, while also unviable today, is at least not as conceptually broken. We can think of it as a deposit that you pay for a post that is returned to you if your post isn't spam. This solves the same problem in the same way, minus the retardation. It still doesn't work, because again, by posting I am contributing to your site, but at least it does not immediately lead to your site being filled with spammers.
