Didn’t he do that first term? Vaguely recall a minor vocal day or two about it.

The ‘boom’ he’s referring to is the destruction of us.

Hearing it from real people running the real companies we’re used to hearing about in reviews or even being a patron of, really helps bring the reality of what’s happening front and center. Its also fascinating seeing the insulation of the larger companies like Corsair and how different but also alike they speak about the uncertainty of the future.

Ugh, another >$100 SBC that ships without PoE.

5 because the handle isn’t a fucking nightmare and won’t be distracting to eating but also I have that exact set and only use the larger ones unless I am forced to use the smaller ones. I picked the set for these reasons.

What if they’re both lying.

This is really a problem of human vs computer thinking.

F and f are two different characters, encoded differently. Ergo, File and file are different by raw bytes.

Some developers wish to make the interactions for the user more consistent and thus a case-insensitive filesystem is born. The problem is that this is such a low level place to make this decision.

A filesystem, as in the kernel level interactions for files, should be case-sensitive in that every character is a unique series of bits. But there’s nothing stopping a higher level api from helping users out. It would be sensible to have a case-insensitive desktop environment.

The low level functionality should remain intentional though.

Put it in a tube sock or pillowcase and increase the effectiveness!

Literally none of what that person commented with was a thought or a feeling. It was an actual fact, with proof.
