> it's really hard to stop a committee from inventing new features when the members get paid to participate and make an impact.

This could also explain most awful, unnecessary GUI updates, unprovoked by any customers, throughout software.

i remember a long time ago i was told north korea was a dark spot on earth when viewed from space, interesting to see it on an actual light pollution map. not that north korea is alone in this aspect.

yes, i should have said "the voice server admin records the IP address" instead

i think game servers are a different subject, and they have their own buffet of problems

this is true, but also goes for every internet-connected service that i choose to use, as far as my IP address goes

i've been invited to random, huge discord servers to play just one game, and after the games over i usually leave the server unless i know everybody. i never have to worry about the server admin or one of his buddies deciding they didn't like me for whatever reason and DDOSing the shit out of me for weeks, forcing me to change my IP address because i didn't use a VPN.

that's just personal; it could even turn a profit if a professional gamer joined a server, several users recorded the IP address, bet against them in an upcoming game, then DDOS'd the shit out of them.

> Teamspeak, which has other problems

like server admins viewing the IP addresses of other users in the server, if that counts

I have no experience in upgrading Java versions or the corresponding code changes required. I have witnessed runtime differences, related to performance and GC behavior, from Oracle 8 to OpenJDK 8 that were unexpected enough to warrant temporarily sticking with Oracle in exactly one case.

A problem is taking a company's entire Java codebase that's been running on Oracle JRE's, compiled with Oracle JDK's, written to work around Oracle bugs, for a decade, then trying to throw that on OpenJDK JRE's, compiled with OpenJDK JDK's. If it's a huge codebase then performance and runtime errors alone are concerning enough to stay frozen on 8 for as long as possible, without even considering code migration.

> just go with Fedora

I'm not disagreeing with this at all, but I do want to point out this was CentOS a couple months ago!

layman here. i understand that if said theoretical computer did exist, encrypted stored data using today's standards is for the most part compromised, outside of further obfuscation, which the popular opinion seems to believe only helps so much.

that means the past is compromised, with some amount of implementation afterwards. i've always wondered just how much the future is compromised.

i've always thought about encryption this way:

  P = some degree of computational power
  
  A = some small unit of P, like a laptop
  B = the largest unit of P practically
    possible under the same laws of physics as A

  (data encrypted by A cannot be "cracked" by B in a reasonable amount of time)

so in my head, so long as a normal civilian can access qubit technology (likely questionable), encryption still works by increasing the number of rounds. what am i missing?

edited for format, then again for clarity

they should address these issues with significant OO syntax changes. let's call it python 4.

CTRL+W messes me up sometimes. when i'm in split screen mode with two panes i'll often tap CTRL+W twice to switch panes. very confusing when you forget to exit insert mode.

it's nice not having to constantly lift my hand to use the mouse when i'm just looking through files and making small changes. i can keep my hands on the keyboard for up to an hour and get stuff done, so long as the task at hand only requires a command line interface and a text editor.

this has always bothered me.

if you have the right of way, and you do not take the right of way, in most cases you are effectively disobeying traffic rules and disrupting the flow of traffic.
