I haven't been on a mac since 10.4 I think. So, it might have changed. I always at least felt like I knew why the credential dialogs were popping up on a Mac when I was using it.
In the end, after having not used much MS Windows since around the beginning of the XP era, when I came back, at first I read some of the dialogs, then I realized 90% of them weren't really readable to begin with. And then I realized they hide dirty installs in those dialogs that they trained you to ignore...
This is a very Windows-ish problem. I always read dialogs on Linux and Mac OS X. I tried doing that for a while on Windows, and found out that most of them are meaningless, overly vague, or just plain overely intrusive. I found myself ignoring them on Windows like everybody else does.
Microsoft is the primary perpitrator of this problem. They are the reason that 90% of the casual computer users ignore any and all dialogs. It's aggrivating as a web dev and you have to double-think yourself because of MS's actions.
I honestly don't think that GCC was made for you, Anonymous Coward. But that is also why it's nice that there are various options in the open source community...
I personally love command line compilation with gcc. Command line being a first class citizen means it's command line interface won't atrophy into a toy.
I moved to Linux because from Mac OS X *because* of the command line. It is a first place citizen. You can expect almost all programs on it to support commandline options and such.
Here's my beef. When someone says you should be able to do everything in the GUI, they are also implicitely stating that you should not be able to do everything through the CLI. They are stating that the CLI side should atrophy because noone is using it. This is what happened on Windows. The Mac OS X commandline only works because it is based on someone elses work, who probably maintains it on a machine where they have to use the CLI everyday.
My only real gripe with the Linux command line is I would like to see bash replaced with a rethought interactive shell. (csh *har* *har* *ahahahaha*) Probably something more like the the ruby irb rather than something c-related would be good.
Linux should change, but it should not try to be something it is not. Us Linux people, we like our utilitarian pickup truck. It helps us to get our shit done. If you switch it out with a shiney sports car, you are fundimentally alienating the current core audience. We've seen the awkwardness this can put companies like Nintendo in.
Companies have quoted various reasons for regioning and it changes depending on the audience they are talking to. For Nintendo, they say it is because of the ESRB and such being different between each country.
I like to play my games in Japanese. The only way I can get them is by importing them. BECAUSE ITEMS ARE REGIONED DOESN'T MEAN THEY ARE NECESSARILY THE SAME PRODUCT THEY WILL INTRINSICALLY HAVE A DIFFERENT WORTH. Even if it is only the language.
I'm honestly just waiting to lose my whole game collection one day thanks to a software update. People like me are viewed as the scum of the earth for not wanting the local english version of something.
Of course, there is the bitching about the threats from the Department of Education that caused you 10s of thousands of medical bills, and almost made you hang yourself outside of their Seattle office. You fucking asshole. Thank you for supporting the people who were trying to guarantee I could never pay my loans back.
Fucker. I expect you to reply to my message. Tell me, why was it okay for me to be trying my best at a minimum wage job, where I couldn't work full hours, and for the Department of Education to start threatening me to work harder. Why was it okay for them to break my fake leg I had because I had cancer when I was 12. Why did they make me lose my medicaid so I couldn't fix it and keep working? WHy did they not take any responsibility. These people don't want money. They want blood.
Answer me answer me poet (8021) . Don't hide like a creep.
Student Loans. They are hitmen who never had the intention of trying to get their money back. They caused me over $100,000 in medical bills. I have barely clawed my way back after homelessness. Their threats do not stop, even against handicapped people who they force into work they cannot do. I will hang myself at a high school to save the children if they do that to me again. I cannot take them doing that again.
Children are tricked into going to college, because they think it is the only thing to do. It's giving the banks a, you don't have to obey any laws, card. I have find no lawyers who will even hear anything passed, "the department of education".
I have tried to find legal representation. Immediately when they hear it is student loans, they say no and hang up.
I have called the Department of Education. I am no longer the sissy crippled kid I was. I have descovered that,
1. They avoid having to talk to you. 2. They will cause you physical damage forcing you into work you cannot do and take no medical responsibility. 3. They will slander you with names and say inapproprate things, like "If you were in a wheelchair, you wouldn't have been sent homeless." 4. When you call them, they will change their story every time and claim things that happened didn't. They say they are recording your phone call, and tell you you cannot record what they say.
The Department of Education didn't start treating me like a human being when I called them until I started saying, "This conversation is being recorded, everything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law." They only stopped saying rediculous things to a cripple when you explain to them how what they are saying is equivalent to a threat.
They didn't care after they broke my fake leg, caused nerver damage in my hand, and forced me into work I couldn't do. They didn't care when they forced me homeless. There is no legal representation.
I slept outside of the student loan organization in seattle for a few months. I used the last of my money for a gray hound ride here. Originally my plan was to hang myself in front of their building.
I have work again because there are more job options here. I had no communication with my family. I have learned things like, sometimes even when you try your best it isn't good enough. I know I am a cripple. If they force me into the same horrible state again, I will hang myself outside of a high school. It seriously is the only way to save the children. It will be better than anything that they have done for any person, and better than anyone here on slashdot.
These people are child molesters. Their actions cannot be interpreted any differently.
You paraphrased the contents from the link located at "UI sluggishness" that you happened to quote from the summary.. The link that goes to "Project Async and Responsive." I'll copy the link below for you: https://dutherenverseauborddelatable.wordpress.com/2013/04/10/announcing-project-async-responsive/ The link talks all about how they are trying to offload things from the main thread, which causes things like the 5-10 second halt when rendering a new tab. It's all waiting there for you to read it....
It doesn't matter that much if one is slightly faster in Javascript or rendering when Firefox will halt up for 5-10 seconds rendering a new tab. Maybe it's faster than Chrome, but if I have to wait for it, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter how much Firefox devs work on "UI sluggishness" if it's a single thing can lock up all input to the browser.
If you are a true web developer, I hope you don't put your css styles in camelCase. Between, html, xhtml, css, javascript and your backend server language, things will only improve so much for you. I feel like all web developers try to turn everything into C#. In they try to turn everything into C# (or Java before it.)
I've seen lots of special ports of packages made to take advantage of the RaspberryPi's gpu. X11 is the most conspicuous one left out. I want to hear you give me this reason.
When every console you sell costs you money, this seems like an extremely natural evolution. This is an excellent way for Microsoft to hemorage less money on consoles while having extra horse power than can be used for actual money-making purposes. This reduces risk.
Selling hardward below cost is becoming unsustainable. It has led to diversity in the game market dropping off. This writing has been on the wall for a while.
Portal being ported is a sign of bigger things to come and a general change in how Linux is viewed. Some people prefer to see the forest for the tree just so they can crap in everyone elses cornflakes. You just have to ignore them.
Window edges were probably one of the worst design decisions usability-wise. I primarily blame them for why people say "trackpads suck." It is liberating when you realize alt-button1 and alt-button2 also free you from worrying about what you might be accidentally clicking inside of the window.
After reading posts like these, I can't help but wonder if the GCC folks have to deal with a swamp pile of bug reports written this way. The kind of writing that makes developers close up into a clamshell.
If the GPL is that horrible to you, just don't use it. You as might as well go around yelling at vegetarians not eating meat, children for being dirty, or feminists standing up for their rights.
We all have our own stories. The last gnome-3.4 transition on Arch Linux was buggy until the systemd packages all came through. (Because they were waiting for them to stabilize.)
Ubuntu is the only distro where I had the package manager uninstall everything on me including busybox...TWICE. It also tends to fall over on itself immediately when you customize it.
Arch leaves most of their packages as vanilla as possible. Packages are generally only broken during a *large* transition or if the upstream are broken.
While I learned on Ubuntu way back when, once you have a bit of experience Arch is a far better experience. Arch is KISS, Ubuntu is not. You also don't have those awkard 6 month release cycles where you feel like your whole system was just gutten for a new architeture.
There may be some truth to this, but I think the bigger reason is that people like new challenges after a while. Once you know your craft, you know the holes better than anyone. People leave projects all the time and they sometimes just need some fresh air. Some even leave industries.
Look at Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk. Look at Steve Jobs. Look at the past open source maintainers for gedit which basically changes every year.
How many software devs do you see stay on a single project for their whole lives? How many would actually WANT to?
If they are, then "The Last Story" is just direct sequel to Final Fantasy because it has Nobuo Uematsu and Hironobu Sakaguchi making it.
The title may be sorta similar, but at a point you're pushing it. Xenoblade was originally going to be named Monado: Beginning of the World, but was only changed to honor Tetsuya Takahashi. These guys also made Baton Kaitos, which you probably never have heard of either. But dammit, if they Named Baton Kaitos Xeno-Kaitos you would have heard of it. Right?
Nintendo released 3 brand new IPs at the end of the Wii's life cycle. You don't see anyone doing that nowadays. Yet, as expected, no one notices... including the trolls complaining about lack of new ips. I suppose this story is similar to how 3rd party games are not noticed on Nintendo consoles.
The other alternative I've seen is many places forcing a minimum purchase otherwise. Would you prefer to be forced to buy a donut or two with your coffee?
Credit card users are exactly the group who are most likely to not notice or care about a convenience fee. I'm not really sure why anyone is getting so indignant about it.

Yes. This is exactly why Apple picked up CUPS. There was no possiblity of Apple doing something similar with LLVM/Clang. None at all.
