wrong, he took a good example. In nature if a species outgrows its food supply, members of the species will die until the balance between the population of the species and the food supply is reached.
Economists make a ridiculous mistake in believing that their "food supply" would be infinite.
Because it is the truth, whether you like it or not? Infinite growth is impossible and no economist can change it, no matter how much they shout and shout against it.
Economics 101, if you aren't growing you are dying
It is because of absurd statements like this that I do not take seriously economists. The financial world can live in a fantasy bubble but hard reality and cold logic show that it is impossible to grow forever.
I can not even buy a motherboard + Threadripper processor set without being forced to pay double the price charged in the US, And that's when I can find a store that sells this kind of parts.
Really? When these monkeys will understand that you should not count on fast internet connection available 24/7? I really hope these dickheads would never, ever design airplanes!
Because if the thing is installed in place of a DRAM so it would need to function as DRAM, I have doubts whether the motherboard would be able to correctly identify it as "disk" something that is installed into a DRAM slot.
Congratulations, you are one of the few who are seeing the world as it really is. Society has not fallen to barbarism yet because most of society still believes in the lie of "meritocracy", but in every successful cheat of the 1%, the End comes a bit closer...
P.S: But don't worry. Everyone dies someday, and when the time comes for these cheaters they always end up in my "office" for a little chat...:)
I'm following this antics in Venezuela up close. My humble guess is that the real US leaders (those who rule the US economy) are seriously thinking of going to war against China (or maybe Russia too), and for this they are looking to secure a near source of oil by putting a puppet government in Venezuela just like they did recently in Brazil (as soon as the "pre-salt" - a new source of light oil in the Brazilian coast - was discovered the "protests" and the riots against the legitimate Brazilian government began).
Just as they are doing right now in Brazil, when you want to force an unpopular government or a dictatorship into power, you just have to invent an imaginary enemy, internal or external, and then present your government/dictatorship as a "solution" against this imaginary enemy.
It seems to me that you or your company have never dealt with large projects, government projects or any project with more than two years of existence.
P.S: Java is a good language when you learn to avoid some bad ideas like putting classes above classes where you would only need just one class (and the thing about "write once, run everywhere" works if you know what you are doing).
True, but that's only if the desired application (and the desired version) is available on your Linux distribution. As an example, more than once I had to try to install GIMP from source (to be able to have the latest stable version), and more than once the result was "slightly disastrous".
To your personal horror, I must remind you that capitalism is also a type of religion... >:-)
(And if you do not believe me, pay attention to how most people advocate capitalism with the same religious fervor of Christianity, Islam, Judaism, etc etc etc)
As example, for me the biggest of them is the lack of general consistency, on average each application is drawn in a different way, behaves differently to do the same actions (copy/paste? anyone?) and is installed differently (when the installer works or when they have an installer). Of course as a developer I sooner or later find a way to make it work, but in Windows I simply use the installer (which usually only fails in really unusual cases) and the applications behave consistently in generic things like copy / paste, open files and so on.
P.S: That goes for Windows 7 and earlier. Windows 10 was down the drain in terms of consistency and stability.
Nice toy operating system you have there. When are you going to switch unix?
Maybe when the graphical interface stops being shit? Seriously, Linux as a kernel is very good but it fails on everything else that describes a good desktop.
The concept of "system application" on Android is way too much abused. Every simple piece of shit programmed by Samsung is treated as if it were "an indispensable part of the operating system" and therefore irremovable.
Nowadays you should be concerned that although the engineers know it's a bad idea, the CEOS find the opposite and the CEOS have that bad habit of not listening when the engineers warn that it might be a bad idea.
I would like to supplement your comment by giving more emphasis to the part of the lack of experience, and adding the problem of arrogance. The "new guys" are too inexperienced to worry about non-trivial problems (such as safety) and usually they too are too arrogant to look at the work of their predecessors and wonder why things were done that way and not the other way.
The key to Netflix's success: Ease to use (even my mother can find and watch the series she likes, without my help) and reasonable price. Is it so hard to put it in the minds of executives from content companies?
My guess is that the new guys have no idea how to make a proper interface. And to complicate things they discard the current interfaces (products of decades of improvements) because they are "obsolete" for them, not "shiny and new".

Found it now? I know that as English is not my native language so I can make grammar mistakes, but I'm fairly sure it's obvious enough what I meant.
The thing about C is that it assumes you know what you're doing. Total control, no training wheels.

You are lost into a "religious dogma" with no basis in reality. Reality does not care what you want the truth to be.

And using Optane as (slow) RAM, when the thing have a finite life? No thanks.

Most older games (pre-2018) simply runs better on Windows 7 than Windows 10.

You need psychiatric help...

The problem is actually another.
As example, for me the biggest of them is the lack of general consistency, on average each application is drawn in a different way, behaves differently to do the same actions (copy/paste? anyone?) and is installed differently (when the installer works or when they have an installer).
