  2. And when will HTML support come? on CSS To Get Support For Trigonometry Functions (zdnet.com) · · Score: 0

    CSS isn't bloated enough. It also needs HTML support. I'm looking forward.

  3. We've been doing selective breeding for a long time, this is NOT GMO, and the process cannot produce the same effects and dangers of GMO.

    It's not that simple, even just selective breeding can accidentally produce or spread very dangerous organisms such as Heracleum sosnowskyi. The main dangers of any modified organism (regardless of its GMO status) is toxicity and damage to the ecosystems from its rapid spreading. GMO organisms are very carefully tested/studied before entering market, this can even sometimes take decades. Even after entering market if any issue is reported, the product will be recalled. Most people who are scared of GMO usually have very limited knowledge about genetics and the process of food digestion. All normal proteins are fully broken down into amino acids in the digestive system, so the original protein doesn't even matter (except for very few exceptions). You can even drink very toxic snake venom and not die for same reason, of course, if there are no wounds in the mouth or in the stomach.

    And we complained about bending iPhones, now we are having foldable smartphones. Actually it was Apples's transition step.

    It was actually very expected from using absolutely other's code. But don't worry, even without this Windows 10 UI is a big fucking mess. Keep on destroying Windows, Microsoft. I just don't understand, what was seriously wrong with the original Edge (for it's purpose and market share), do they really expect Edge to become a very popular Chrome rival?

  13. Linux is deployed on most of the smartphones

    Google is working on its replacement. As for servers, it's hard to say, even today some companies use other OSes for that.

    Why people misunderstand me. I just said that AMD has many of the issues that Intel has, they are somewhat fewer but they exist. Did you miss this?

    I agree somewhat, they're fewer than in Intel chips.

    AMD has some advantages (such as not having Meltdown, but as far as I know only Linux dynamically toggles this mitigation, not sure about MacOS) but it still has many Spectre type issues. Some people might prefer AMD chips because of this.

    As of 2018, AMD chips are also vulnerable to Spectre1 and Spectre2, only Intel has Meltdown alongside these issues. As for now much more Spectre types have been discovered and this list keeps growing. Many Intel, AMD and ARM chips are vulnerable.

    AMD (and also ARM) chips still suffer from most of the Spectre issues, though I agree somewhat, they're fewer than in Intel chips.

    Modern computing becomes so disappointing. New and new security issues are discovered in CPUs and the software becomes more and more inefficient after each mitigation without the full benefit of the speed of the modern hardware. I wonder if we'll the point where it will be more practical just not to optimize hardware in some ways anymore since more problems are created than solved.

    I agree somewhat. 4MB version probably had some limitations, as far as I know, IE wasn't included, after including IE the memory requirements rose. Anyways, even with its limitations Windows 95 is still incomparably more complex than calc.exe of any modern Windows.

    Yeah, today's bloat is incredible, and this era of shitty programmers with their toy programming languages is very disappointing. One can only imagine how many CPU cycles and electricity is wasted. Just a fun fact, Windows 95 required less ram (sometimes in order of a magnitude) than a basic calculator in any modern OS.
