How come C# isn't more popular when it's basically Java but better? Is it because people distrust a language maintained by Microsoft, or does the JVM have non-obvious but crucial advantages over the CLR?

Java's entire schtick is that it's cross platform. C# only exists on windows desktop (desktop is a tiny fraction of the software market) and windows server (windows has a small minority share of the server OS market)
>>
>>107840376
>(windows has a small minority share of the server OS market)
those kinds of stat charts only point to public web servers, and maybe databases

Windows Server is used for a lot of enterprise software which isn't exposed to the internet or advertised online. C#, being a Java clone, also shares its primary use case of web-enabled enterprise software
pretty much all companies use Active Directory and other Microsoft/Office/SharePoint stuff, all of which run on Windows Server

The standard library has generally very nice naming conventions.
But go try explain the difference between NET Framework, .NET Core and .NET (by which I mean .NET 5 and up).
.NET in itself is already a godawful name for a general purpose computing platform that isn't really focused on web shit at all.

And remember, Microsoft was waging a proxy war on Linux via SCO at the time C# arrived. It was not just Windows only, it was hostile to other platforms for a long time. Everyone assumed the Mono developers would eventually be sued out of existence by Microsoft.

What's the consensus on msbuild when it comes to C# development?
Usually I see people hating on it, although I'm not sure if that comes more from C++ devs working with it.
I had to get a little bit more in-depth with it recently, and I found it to be rather pleasant.
Modern msbuild is very flexible and expressive.and consise IMO.

I do hate how the most popular IDE for csharp (VS) basically hides all that flexibility from the average dev cause they wanna give people fucking GUIs to configure their builds, and solution files are an absolute disaster even with the recent modernization efforts.

But ignoring those is easy if you don't use VS and then you just have a good (and starndardized) build system.
It being standardized is also worth alot.

This simple idea of having 2 USB-C ports CANNOT be done because it stops the zoomer from buying wireless ear buds(battery inside will always go to shit and unusable in ~3 years)

and you would be stuck using extremely affordable, high quality audio headphones or in ear buds(that are a bit too green for the planet in 2026)

also the 3.5mm headphone jack looks like a penis that goes inside a hole and basically why aren't you a wireless, constantly charging gay trans in 2026 right now.

I think it's the same reason as people buying peripherals with tons of bright LEDs, when you're a kid you think the "gaymer" aesthetic of dark mode with bunch of bright lights is epic. For me personally not only do I think it looks worse aesthetically, it's also just less consistent and compatible with programs and sites, everything almost supports light mode while most sites and programs don't support dark mode properly, it's also terrible for my eyes, for some reason if I use dark mode my eyes after a few hours become red as fuck and it's difficult for me to read white text on a black background, while black text on a white background like irl is super easy.

A few days ago, something really interesting happened: For the first time, an AI generated a mathematical proof that was not yet known: https://www.erdosproblems.com/728

In most cases where this has happened, it was later discovered that a solution already existed in the literature, but this problem had been formulated incorrectly and was only corrected a few months ago, which means there was no prior literature on it.

Sometimes of you say that AI will be limited by "not being able to create new things," but I think this case shows that it's not quite like that at all, and that most people are still underestimating AIs.

UI in literally every area of the system is worse - start menu/screen, explorer, settings, all applications bundled with windows that they updated - both how they look & feel (godawful spacing and layouts, also fuck rounded corners and circles for things in grids), as well as how they're implemented: Paint goes from needing 7MB of RAM on Win10 to 270MB on Win11; Notepad goes from 1MB to 112MB - and they shove Copilot and being logged in into everything, even fucking Notepad and Paint
then you get news of all the broken system updates that were written by AI, because there are no actual system engineers at MS anymore, just hordes of pajeets

>>
>>107820326
Windows is still good if you're on the correct branch. Objectively a clean install of W10/11 IoT Enterprise LTSC just dwarfs anything linux has to offer. Piss easy offline local instalation that's done in like 4-5 simple steps, practically zero chance of hardware and software incompatibility, and very lightweight, bloatfree, and allows absolute control over the computer. Wanna block defender in gpedit? Sure. Wanna block updates in gpedit? Sure. Even allows removing packages that aren't removable in the non-IoT branch of LTSC. It's pure perfection. Home.

I tried using my phone but within a few weeks the headphone jack was broken. Phones are too big as audio players, which you typically put into a pocket that barely fits it, putting way too much mechanical stress on the plug and jack. And screw bluetooth IEMs, not gonna put a chink shit lithium bomb in my ears and I don't want to have to charge them in the first place.
Meanwhile I've been using my small and light sansa clip+ for over a decade without issues (except the volume up button being broken, but I can set the volume via settings so no big deal)

>>
>>107840696
dedicated single Cirrus Logic CS43131 DAC so probably sounds better than any smartphone on the market.

Given it's size I'd expect it'll probably have at least 10 hours of battery life (echo mini is 15 hours). although similar sized Sony players with similar display tech from nearly 20 years ago could last up to 40.

if AI companies buying a lot of future RAM caused the prices to spike, why wont the fabs just announce that they will also increase their capacity in the future?
this should cancel each other out and lower the cost of RAM right now.

>>107840435
Wrong, they are a monopoly and are therefore risk averse to the point where they refuse to take the risk to increase the scale of production.
Monopolies in the market make a risk averse, stagnant market and that is what we're beginning to see with semi-conductor producers.

Learn to economics.
>>
>>107840152
I have an idea.
We lie out of our asses, make convincing enough papers and powerpoints for investors to get them to invest in "downlaodable RAM". We sell it as the next big thing, and if we get enough money being thrown our way the price of RAM will eventually go down from people thinking you can just download it.
It's fool proof! Or at least it counts on people being fools to work!
>>
>>107840152
>why wont the fabs just announce that they will also increase their capacity in the future?
Because they won't
Fabs know that the AI memory boom is a short term thing and won't risk overcommitting resources on it
They'll keep producing the same amount of RAM, and don't really care if it goes to consumers or datacenters
>>
>>107840402
Why would the amount of manufacturers change that?
If I had a company like that, i wouldn't. If most of the people I know had one, they wouldn't either. It is just logic, not lack of diversity.

Of course at some point you might have a retard doing exactly that, so I guess you are right to a degree, but I don't think that argument makes sense. It is not the problem here.
