@cairdcoinheringaahing Sometimes I like the fact that I don't have bros/sys. But sometimes I'd like some company when I am writing up esoteric answers in esoteric languages :P
It's worse when you try to set up parental controls. You have to give the child account an email, and then they have to choose to accept it in order for you to set up parental controls on that account. And in order for you to "invite them to your family", you are charged a couple bucks.
@DJMcMayhem They charge you a dollar to verify you have a working credit card to make sure you're actually an adult, and then they refund the dollar, iirc.
@AdmBorkBork oh and during the install of windows 10 it literally had checked by default that the microphone would always be on and listening an data sent to microsoft to improve their voice service
Wow there are literally over 3 conversations in TNB taking place at the same time, about: Little Mermaid, Frozen, Computers, Operating system's (lack of) features, etc. so replies are really needed lol
@orlp I don't recall seeing that when I went through my Win10 install on my laptop. A couple quick Google searches aren't coming up with anything. Do you have a source?
Is it just me or iPhone headphones are terrible? If I plug them into my laptop and throw them on the couch ~1 and 1/2 meters away I can still clearly hear the music.
@DJMcMayhem It's the thing I like least about Apple products too. (the new ones that come with newer iphones that don't have a jack are actually a bit better)
Time to find some other (non brainfuck) esolang to potentially make a JIT compiler for. (I'm doing this as an exercise in x86 assembly and JIT compiler design)
@ngn sometimes. JIT is good for portable code, lets the code get compiled on the client's machine instead of precompiled by the creator. (i.e. Java is JIT). Another advantage is it can be used for code that self optimizes during runtime, which Java also does (partially, first pass is interpreted to generate a tree and perform optimization), using a tracing JIT compiler.
Note that i do not advocate for java, it's just an excellent example
I came across this article in ACM quote quad a few years ago, "A History of APL in the USSR". It was written by Andrei Kondrashev (Computing Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences) and Oleg Luksha (The Obninsk Educational Center).
An interesting quote from the article:

@ngn Hm, three days ago, Nic wrote: Some time after leaving Dyalog, Nick Nickolov pushed a minimal subset of a K interpreter onto the web, retaining all the rights. Within a few months someone bought the code and hired him and he withdrew the code from the web.
@Riker It needs to be kicked in the groin every once in a while. More frequently lately, though. I've notified the people who can fix it (temporarily). CEO is now ready to nuke it.

@Downgoat Not too long ago, there was a major update regarding the performance of large files.
CMC: Given an integer list a and a pure function f that takes an integer and returns a boolean, return two lists where one contains elements of a where f(a) is true and the other contains elements of a where f(b) is false. E.G: [1,2,3,4,5], (i=>even?(i)) would give [2, 4] and [1, 3, 5].
The values in the resulting arrays do not have to be ordered in any particular way.
hey, i just encountered a perfectly valid quine that got deleted for cheating
it's a bf one that uses ! after the program for "input", which makes it part of the source, but that doesn't count as reading the source code any more than using quotes reads the source code
