> 28mph top speed

please no one buy this. I purchased a vehicle similar to this years ago, and while fun, the top speed was ALWAYS an issue. Even on surface streets, its too slow, so you end up essentially redlining for the entire trip, and even then its too slow. Unless this is purely as second "toy vehicle" for you, don't buy this. Get something that can go at least 40.

it doesn't check character classes either. It literally takes two characters, then uppercases both and compares, then lowercases both and compares. I have no idea where you are getting that it has anything to do with word or character classes, it doesn't.

> there doesn't seem to be any reasoning or evidence in that post supporting "uppercase is the better option", just that uppercase produces a larger number of word classes, which might be correct or incorrect

this sentence appears to be nonsense. the code doesnt check "word classes", it cases folds two characters and compares them.

> converting to lowercase

in regards to accuracy, uppercase is the better option:

My issue is that Nim has some awkward problems with static linking:

only works until you log out, then once you log in again, its back to shit mode

why does Microsoft get to have any say in that? Most people using Windows purchased it, either directly or hidden inside the computer cost. Microsoft decision making power should begin and end with designing the product.

They have no business making some tools harder or easier to install than others, the same as a hammer has no business favoring some nails over others.

> No, you can not officially disable web results in Windows Search.

did you actually read the article? Even if its possible, I shouldn't have to break my OS to make it happen.

sorry, but this is one of the few cases where its justified. Anyone whos developed on Windows since 7 or before (raises hand) knows how awful Window UI has been since 8.

You wouldn't want Richard Nixon (if he was alive) commenting on Obama's term would you? Even if Harris is 100% right, its just tone deaf and in bad taste. No one want to hear his opinion on Microsoft products. Hes done enough already.

ever tried to test microphone volume levels? every fucking time I have to search three different things before I can find it. I try "microphone", "audio", "volume", and its always the last one I try, and I can never remember for the next time.

Search is not a good UI, because you never get muscle memory with a search.

I work in IT.

The Windows 10/11 "settings" are a hole pile of shit. It seems like Microsoft almost purposefully took the 10 things you would most often use, and nested them so deep that you cant even memorize how to find them anymore. So you get forced into using the god awful search, which returns results FROM THE GOD DAMN INTERNET. If I am in Windows setting, or hell even on just the normal Start Menu, I DON'T WANT any Windows search returning anything from the internet. Ever. If I want to search the internet, I will open a god damn web browser. FFS Microsoft, stop trying to turn yourself into some Frankenstein of iOS/Chromebook.

No one wants that.

Its an extra requirement, thats not imposed by many other languages.

LDC for Windows is an awkward experience:

Missed the part where people use acronyms that no one understands.

if you cant, then why should I?

heres a shotgun with a hair trigger, now you be careful! shoots face off

Doesn't C have years and years of repeated security flaws due to lack of memory safety? What's the motivation to continue releasing greenfield projects in C?

> Building the Sapling CLI requires Python 3.8, Rust, cmake, and OpenSSL for the main cli

Rust and C? that sounds like it is a pain to build, especially on Windows.

typical hacker news bullshit.

people forget that many acronyms are context sensitive and/or audience sensitive. they just assume everyone across the world has the same shared life experience that they do.

incompatible? incompatible with what? Ive been using it for years with no problem.
