Citations needed! (Okay, that last one is true.) All of this is inflammatory garbage that makes you look like a total asshole. (I'm not saying you are an asshole. Maybe you're not, but that's hard to believe.) Your only real argument is you can't run Xcode to write iOS apps. Well yeah, but that's not what everyone uses a computer for, is it?

> macOS is really the only viable native developer platform these days.
> Most developers I know use MacBooks.
> No serious developers use Windows unless they're doing Windows-only stuff (i.e. C# .NET).
> Who uses Linux for development? Maybe kernel developers.

You're living in an echo chamber.

Again, if all the world were software developers writing for iOS exclusively, then maybe you'd have a point about usability. But they're not. So you don't.

Android and iOS. I only mentioned iOS development because iOS development is macOS-only. You can do Android app development on other OSes with Adnroid Studio or whatever else. However, if you're doing mobile apps, you need to make both iOS and Android versions.

Call me an asshole if you want, but the fact of the matter is that people are spending less time on computers and more time on phones. Do you want to develop for a growing or shrinking audience?

I never said you're a software developer, but I am.

If you're not in tech, what are you even doing? People on text boards tend to be more tech-savvy, so what's stopping you?

I specifically didn't call you an asshole. I said that everything you're saying makes you sound like an asshole. That doesn't really make for a pleasant discussion. The overall tone and point-of-view is very "abrasive Hacker News reader". I know it's hard not to sound abrasive, because text is a lossy medium of conversation, so I thought I should let you know.

(It's easy to work in tech without being an iOS developer. Unless this is some new recruitment strategy? Shit on literally everything else for paragraphs until the victim realizes the One Truth that writing iPhone software is the only logical way to make money?)

Anyway, let's conclude. This whole discussion started by me trying to show you that "usable" for you is not necessarily "usable" for everyone else. It turned into... whatever you turned it into. A conversation I didn't like.

Yours, until we scream at each other again,

You're not going to like everything in life. News at 11. And not liking something doesn't mean you're right and that the other person is wrong. It just means you don't like something. Sometimes, you can grow from listening to other people instead of being dismissive.

It sounds like you don't want to hear different opinions. You want people to back you up on your preexisting worldviews instead, huh? Like I said, this site is an echo chamber.

>>206
RAM is cheap.

Ask any normal person what they think is more acceptable: obsessing over optimizing RAM usage in Linux on an old computer, or using a MacBook. They're not as expensive as you might think, by the way. You can get a lightly used MacBook Air in great condition, with 8GB of RAM and an i5 and an SSD, for like $700. That's not expensive for a laptop. They also get great battery life. And, you know, macOS.

Why do Windows gamer dudebros think it's okay to spend $500 on a graphics card alone, but they think a $700 MacBook is overpriced?

Have fun with desktop Linux. I'm sure you get great software support and no bugs.

Let's face it, Linux is better suited for servers, routers, and IoT devices. Not laptops and desktops. Sure, Android is based on Linux, but that's not a good example of it. Android is laggy compared to iOS when you consider the specs of the hardware Android phones run on. Lots of opportunities for better optimization.

Have fun staying in your bubble and not thinking critically about anything. There are plenty of opportunities you could take up to learn more and think about things in ways you haven't thought of before, but instead you'll just be rude and pass it up. That's not how you listen to people.

I used to use desktop Linux distros too, but they are just not usable for daily driver stuff. After a while, you sort of develop Stockholm Syndrome about it, but if you are able to move past that like I did, you can realize that you don't have to put up with all the problems and lack of support. You can move to something better, like macOS.

I think we all at least agree that ChromeOS is shit. Google data mining, browser only, nothing useful. You can chroot Linux in it, but the performance sucks, and only certain distros are supported. And it's ARM Linux, not x86 Linux, so not everything works with it.

I used Linux for years at work for embedded development. At the time there was basically no better platform for what we were doing and I loved it despite its quirks. It's totally fine for a desktop OS unless you must have that platform-specific program. My next computer will likely be a Linux box.

For laptop I'm definitely MBP all the way. It's by no means perfect, and yes, Apple is trying pretty hard to sabotage it, but it's still the best laptop experience overall. For me MacOS feels like home, although I get if it doesn't for you. I don't use it to develop for iOS, I just like it. When I need to run not-MacOS I fire up a VM and life is good.

The Windows UX has been utter torture from day one and has marginally improved in the last few years. I feel about it the same way a lot of people feel about PHP: it's just a fractal of bad design. I can appreciate that it's the universal desktop OS and necessary if you need to run certain software. For instance, I'm going to have to spend some quality time with it in the not-too-distant future for work. But that's the only reason I ever touch it.

Mobile...eh. Yes, there's money developing for it, but eh. You want it, you can have it. There's more than enough money developing for other things, and there always will be.

Broke: Thinking globalist elites all get along and cooperate for a single agenda.

Woke: Realizing that there are many wealthy people with power and influence, and they don't all necessarily get along. They still try to control the world in different ways (i.e. bribing politicians or buying media outlets) but they are often working against each other rather than some silly conspiracy involving clandestine meetings where they all get along somehow.

I call it ``warring elites theory'' but I doubt that I'm the first person to come up with this idea

Linux for embedded development makes sense. I mean, the embedded systems you were developing for were probably running Linux, right? Or are you so old that you were doing shit for proprietary dinosaur shit like VxWorks?

Nowadays, embedded is being rebranded as IoT, isn't it? Like traditional embedded systems, but with more connectivity (and thus more security concerns).

But that being said, not everyone is an embedded systems developer, so it's not great for everything.

I'm also a fan of commercial software, which is often proprietary. I'm not a freetard. I'm not the kind of guy who can just use vim and gcc and rxvt for development. I need real IDEs and shit. Old people might call me casual, but whatever.

The Linux DE experience is really lacking when compared to macOS, or even Windows. A lot of Linux users see it as a rite of passage to spend a lot of time to configure their tiling window manager or desktop environment with spinning cubes or whatever. It's been a while since I used a linux distro for myself, though I recently installed Ubuntu for someone else (because they were prone to getting malware in Windows because they sucked at using computers), and Unity wasn't that great. It seemed clunky and less polished than the UX experience I'm used to on Windows and macOS. Everything about it seemed off-brand.

Doesn't EmacEclipse work just fine on Linux? But I get your point, software for Linux is often less polished.

I think that might mainly be due to force of habit. But to be honest, the only use of a DE is to launch useful software or sort files around.

I have never used MacOS so I'm just talking out of my butt, but I do not see major reasons to prefer one desktop environment to another nowadays. In my opinion, small differences are being vastly blown out of proportion by people raised on this or that DE, with no real arguments to support it, only because adapting to a slightly different environment represents a small cost for an even smaller gain.

Also, spending time ricing up your DE is just a hobby or an attempt at impressing ladies, not something anyone does for efficiency or comfort purposes (outside of delusion). If it were really for that goal, they would just use a standard DE, slap on a few hotkeys and be done with it.

Talking like someone who does mobile development for a living and thus uses an MBP all day at work, it's garbage. It's filled with small crap like lack of cut and paste on the finder which is trivially fixed in Linux, but unworkable on mac OS. Updates fucking hijack your computer for 15 to 20 minutes, that's unacceptable in 2018, and you need to update it for practically every two Xcode updates or so. The whole fucking computer. To run the latest Xcode.

Hey, some idiot updated the test device to an iOS beta? Boy oh boy, now I'll have to download 18GBs of a TRASH IDE just to get the development image.

Mobile development is garbage. Android Studio is crap, except when compared to other Java IDEs. Xcode is the worst shit imaginable and UIKit crashes DAILY. Indexing on Xcode has been broken for 5 releases now, I have to restart that shit twice a day. Mobile p2p fintech solutions for ios and android are garbage ideas. Every uber-but-for-tater-tots idea man can suck my balls. Every mobile dev candidate is absolute trash and the whole field is polluted by amateurs who barely finished high school.

Fuck you.

As an aside, if you're dragging files in the finder:
Holding down cmd moves them (ie deletes the original if they're going to a different drive)
Holding down opt copies them (leaves the original if they're not going to a different drive)
Holding down both creates a shortcut.

On one hand, a good OS should have "move file" be the same operation everywhere, but on the other hand, it would suck if you moved your files over to a thumb drive that promptly caught fire after it deleted the originals, but on the third hand, they probably just haven't bothered to think about the default filesystem boundary behavior they inherited from software from the 70s,

> Why does anything exist?

No reason. It just exists.

> Actually, DOES anything exist?

Yes, obviously.

> What is real? What is fake? Is time an illusion?

We merely call real the parts of ``what there is'' which are (conceptually) solid and durable enough to our taste or easy to grasp. So, physical reality is generally considered more real than dreams. Note that a sufficiently advanced dream could essentially become reality. However, it is usually clear even when dreaming that physical reality forms the basis of dreams.
Time is not an illusion, but the passing of time is. Past and future are not any less real than the present.

> Is reality an illusion? Is it a simulation?

Reality is not an illusion, by definition. Is it a simulation? I don't know.

> If things do exist, does there need to be a reason why? Or can things exist for no reason?

No and yes.

> What is nothingness like? What is death like?

Nothingness does not exist, there is only an idea of nothingness, just like luck does not exist and we only have an idea of what it is.
As for the experience of death (beyond the moments of transition), obviously when you die you can choose to linger as a ghost, resurrect (for casuals) or create a new character.

What's that Japanese word for the performance retrospectives they do in some businesses, where they reflect on what went well and what could be improved in the current campaign? I was reading about it a few weeks ago but I can't remember now. I want to say Toyota were known for it, and I saw it on their wikipedia page, but I couldn't find anything when I looked just now; it might not have been Toyota.

Why do normies like capeshit so much?

I recently went with a friend of mine to see the awful Avengers: Infinity War movie and it was so stupid. Are people getting dumber these days? How can anyone like this trash?

Itfs stupid superhero garbage, but not only that, it had the dumbest dialogue and tons of plot holes too. Why are there stones that can control everything in the universe? Why would they give the stones to the supervillain? They claimed to give the stones to the bad guy to save their friends (like the iron man guy or whatever), but then he killed half of the population st the end anyway, which ended up killing a lot of the good guys too, so it would have made more sense to not give him the stones.

If he could control everything in the universe, why would he kill half the population instead of making more resources and food so that people wouldn't even need population reduction? Why did the bad guyfs chin look so stupid?

Why are there so many of these movies?
